Last Week: Janet transforms
the room and Barney is delighted.
Then suddenly he turns from Jan-
et mysteriously.
CHAPTER XXIII
Oh, Barney, Janet thought, you
wouldn't have evaded a month ago.
You'd have just blurted it out—
na matter what it was. Can't we
ever be—just natural again?
He had turned back from the
eoat closet, and was looking about
him.
"How did you do it, Jan?" he
asked; then with a laugh that
covered an edge of anxiety, "You
haven't been robbing a bank or
something, have you?"
"Just some things I had at
home."
"Oh!" he said; and she won-
dered if she were mistaken in
thinking he sounded relieved.
"A few odds and ends do make
a lot of difference, don't they?"
she went on chattily. "Now I
think it will do very nicely for a
while."
"Do?" Barney stopped smiling
to frown f ''n; rr
.yen irk,;,,,„ w, ng w .. .:
You've made—well,' you've made
a hone out of nothing."
He seemed so happy, and sud-
denly so rested that she did not
tell him that the one bedroom
window was stuck fast, that the
oven wouldn't heat properly, and
that the superintendent had told
her the janitor had exceeded his
authority in promising the fresh
paint and linoleum,
"Say," Barney went on, "there's
room along that wall for the book-
shelves I left in storage at my old
diggings. I'll get them and un-
pack my books as soon as
he broke off; then finished hastily,
"as soon as 1 have time."
When they sat down to dinner,
Janet said, "Is the war all over
at the office? By this time, old
Owlface must know that it's your
story that's selling the News. I
couldn't even get a copy today."
"Oh, him?" Barney's .face dark-
ened. "Should you mind talking
about something else, honey?" he

asked abruptly. "I've used so
many high-powered words on him
today that I haven't any left to
do justice to the subject."
"Of course," Janet said cheer-
fully, although she felt snubbed
and left out. "Why talk shop,
anyhow?"
"He Doesn't Mean Anything"
So they talked about Cynthia
and Timothy Benton — who was
very much better; about the new
trick can opener Barney had
brought home, which he said would
do everything about the house but
answer the door; about the dog
show, in which Leslie Pugh was en-
tering two cocker spaniels; and
finally about the fact that Hal-
lowell and Benton had had to lay
off some of their best sten, be-
cause, it seemed, Timothy Ben -
ton's money had been taking care
of the payroll for the past six
months.
"Was—I wonder if Lance was
one of them?" Janet asked.
And Barney said without meet-
ing her glance, "Why, Lance was
out several weeks ago, Jan. Didn't
you know? But he won't suffer.
I hear he's doing pretty well on
his own."
At something in his manner,
Janet set doWn her coffee cup and
clasped her hands tightly.
"Listen, Barney," she said qui-
etly. "There's one thing I• want
understood once and for all. Lance
doesn't mean anything to me. He
hasn't for a long time. If he had,
I shouldn't have married you,
Barney."
Barney said quickly—too quick-
ly, "Of course not, Jan. 1 know

Tim was practically well 'again,
and they were going out of town.
A new oil field had been opened
in the Southwest; and a friend who
had heard about Tim's financial
reverses had wired him to come
on and take charge of operations
in his holdings.
"Tim says we may have to live
in a tent or a box car," Cynthia
told Janet, her eyes bright. "Ile
thought I'd better wait here. Im-
agine! I'm going to love it."
Janet said, "I think you really.

"And about Aunt Mary's bills,
Jan," Cynthia said. "We found

I wonder if you'd mind—
they really are colossal ---if we sold
some of her antiques to pay them.
I know you and Barney can't, and
frankly, just now, we can't either.
The rest of the things we'll put
in storage until one of us needs
them."
"She always meant them for
you, Cyn. You must do what you
think best."
After all, that was what Aunt
Mary would like—to pay her own
passage to the end, as proudly
and independently as she had
while she lived.
"He Wanted You All Along"
When Cynthia finally got up to
go, she said, fumbling with her
scarf and hesitating in a way very
unlike the old Cynthia, "Janet, I
have always hated people who
volunteered good advice. They
always sound so smug. But be
nice to Barney, won't you? . . .
Of course I know you don't love
him, but—"
"You know what?" Janet eived
sharply.
"Darling, it's too obvious. Even

All at once Janet began to
laugh,, rendingly, so that after a
time her shoulders began to shake
with sobs.
"1 can't help it, Cyn," she apol-
ogized between .gasps, "It's all
so funny --so preposterously fun-

If you've the sort of family- who
are erratic about mealtimes, you
simply must make a saucepan
cosy! Make it like a tea cosy, but
make a to fit your saucepan. In-
stead of leaving the late ones' .dine

saucepan, pop the cosy over the
top and you'll find it hot and palat-

an occasional application of furni-

to accentuate the colorings of the
calendar, specially if it is a flower

The speaker urged the women
of the W.I., affiliated into the lar-

ber that they were saving their
own civilization as well as that of
other peoples. "It would be illogi-
cal," Mrs. Watt said, "to let our
own civilization go down while we
try to save parts of Europe." The
world president saw the abandon-
ment of normal services as a great
death blow of the state. She told
the rural women that much speci-
fic."war work" could be left to the

man's responsibility was the prob-
lem of farm production. How that
problem would develop in the
years ahead, the speaker couldn't

Collie Mothers
Three Rabbits
At the home of Ben Triolet,
Antherstburg, Ont., a male Collie
dog has taken over the ,lob of
"mothering" three wild rabbits.
About six weeks ago the dog
returned from the fields back of
the Triplet home with the three
cotton -tails safely in his mouth.
When an attempt `was made. to
take them away from the Collie,
he objected. However, after a
little persuasion the dog consented
to give them up and they .were
placed in a warm pen.
Mr. Triolet declares that each
time he feeds the three "orphans"
the dog is on hand to see that they
are not injured,
The dog refuses to allow a pet
cat near them and he will sit for
hours under the pen guarding his
"family."

shifting populations; there may be
a return of former Canadians, an
influx of European refugees, a
great industrial development. The
problem of the food supply is the
problem of the farm woman, Mrs.
Watt said.
"Our destiny is to educate the
people," Mrs. Watt said. "It is har-
der to raise the standard of living
than to raise money but it is the
sensible thing to try to raise that
standard in one's own community
rather than to relieve other organ-
izations of their responsibilities."
"Build up our country," urged
the speaker, herself a Canadian by
birth.. "Canada is a land of unlim-
ited resources but we have been
wasteful."
The speaker saw the well -order-
ed home as a bulwark against any
form of enmity; the self-sustaining
community as a guarantee against
disorder.
Is The Corset
Here To Stay?
Situation "Hasn't Quite Con-
gealed Yet," Says Mainboch-
er, Fashion Expert, Who Re-
vived It:
The corset situation, which has
had all the girls in a breathless, di•
ther since August "hasn't quite
congealed yet" it seems. But it
will.
That was the latest word last
week on the question which has
provoked the biggest style contro-
versy since skirts first journeyel
knee-high after swirling for years
arou.nti the ankles.
it came from Mailibocher, the
designer who created the Duchess
of Windsor's wedding gown, and
who found himself unwittingly in
the limelight last August when he
showed a pink satin, back -lace cor-
set that started a trend on both
sides of the Atlantic,
The Lone -Ribbed Look
"Ona reason, why the corset is.
here to stay. in one form "'or an-
other," said Mainbocher, "is that
it enables a woman to look young
without wearing a 'Baby Snooks'
ti i'ess."
When a style "congeals" in his
opinion, it settles down, takes a
final form, becomes an integral
part of women's lives. His return
to the eorsetted silhouette in de-
signing was never a stunt, he said,
and he never intended it to be an
instrument of torture.
"What I hoped it would give was
the long -ribbed look which young
American girls possess naturally."
War Creates
Queer Styles
Miniature Weapons As Hair-
Orntatatcnts • Lockets Back
LONDON, Itbngland -- Model air-
planes, cannon and searchlights as
hair ornaments are finding favour
in London as one of the latest fem-
inine fashions. Stores are selling
jeweled models for evening wear
and a more practical variety for
use during the day.
Isocal storekeepers also report
that their stock .11 lockets has giv-
en out. After the last war when
many a girl carried a miniature of
her husband or boy friend, there
was no further demand for lockets
and their manufacture was disd'on•
tinned. Existing stocks were all
bought out after the declaration of
war last month.
Woman No Older
Than Her Walk
Stand Tall, Keep Your Chin Up
And Move Gracefully
Beauty experts agree that a wo-
man is no older than her carriage
and her throat line.
"Stand tall, walk lightly and in
a graceful manner, keep the skin
trona base of throat to chin firm
and satiny smooth and you won't
look old no Matter how old you
are," they tell their clients.
Maintain Perfect Balance
When you walk, step along very
briskly, with head high and chest
up; Wear comfortable shoes with
heels which help you to maintain
perfect balance. Don't acquire the
bad habit of shuffling along with
heels dragging whenever you get
•diced. It will make you even more
weary, anyway.
Keep your chin up and in, whe-
ther yois are sitting, standing, or
walking. This is one sure way to
ward off fine lines and wrinkles
on the throat. And use a rich night
cream or special throat cream reg-
ularly: Massage it in and leave it
9 on exactly according to directions.
