Philip Booth, Lawyer, wants Mar- got to divorce the imaginary Tony and marry him. Margot meets Jeff Thompson, Ohio artist who is in town for a few days. Jeff knows her only as Margot Sherwood. They Eike each other at once. Jeff is on the point of proposing when he discovers she is known as Mrs. Merrick. Jeff is furious, believing she has deliberately misrepresent- ed herself as a single girl. But her vagueness about her husband when he questions her arouses his sus- picions. He checks up on her story and finds that Margot's marriage and Tony Merrick are both a hoax. Jeff decides to teach Margot a les- son. He goes to her home, arrives in time for a huge dinner party, and claims himself to be her long - lost husband Tony Merrick. Mar- got's. sister..

"Gotta get off the spot." Wedding At Niagara Two days later, Jeff and Margot stood before a Niagara. Falls min- ister and were made one. The ceremony over, . they wan- dered aimlessly through the town. They maintained a. complete sil ence toward each other except for an occasional insult. Margot's pa- tience snapped first, "'As long as we have to spend another two hours together until plane time," she observed icily, "you might try to be pleasant." "I am pleasant!" be snapped. "'lou certainly are not!" she cried. "When you do get married," he replied, "you won't need any prac- tice in henpecking." "I was NOT henpecking," she shouted. "My Annt Edith killed my Uncle John by henpecking and I know a heupecker wlteu 1 hear one!" he roared. Two men, a woman and a young;s girl walked past them. One of the men threw Jeff and Margot a cur- ious glance, looked back a second time, then turned about and resil- ed over. "Jeff!" he shouted. "How are volt --- it's sn nice to see you. my boy!" Jeff started, then collected him- self. "Oh! Me. Selland!" He look- ed toward the others in the group. „And Mrs. Kelland -• • and kllvh'u --why—how are you''" "Wonderful!" beamed Mrs. Rei- land.

CHAMBERS Iomey Dishes For T he: Family ' From Christmas on we have been doing a great deal of discuss- ing about Company dishes and sug- gesting menus for St. Valentine's, and St. Patrick's Day. It seems then fit and proper, that we should consider now a few homey dishes both for economy and health's sake. VEGETABLE CASSEROLE Place in a casserole alternate layers elf carrots, potatoes and on- ions, sprinkling both layers with salt and pepper and grated cheese. Some chopped parsley added to each layer also adds zest. Cover with scalded milk until even with the top layer. Cover and bake in a slow oven for one hour. Be sure to sprinkle some grated cheese on top—and dots of butter. This dish stands high in food merit—for the vegetable juices are retained—the adding of the milk is helping to keep up the family mills quota a11c1 it is economical. Served with bacon or cold meat, it makes a perfect balanced meal. IRISH STEW & DUMPLINGS Melt 2 tablespoons shortening to frying.pal (a deep one if possible). • Add 1 lb., of round steak cut in inch size cubes. Brown the meat well, then add 4 cups' of water.

One Certificate Monthly Urged National Campaign Chairman of War Savings Subscription Drive Says That's The Av. erage Cash Contribution Each Canadian Should Make To War Effort Walter P. Zeller, national cam- paign chairman of the Buy -War - Savings Certificates campaign, has declared that an average cash sub- scription should amount to $5.00 Per month r'egular'ly. (Stamps have never been intended as anything more than a means of enabling childreu and people with very low incomes to purchase war savings certificates on the instalment plan). Five per cent of. the average bread -winner's income was not, he thought, too much to asic as an investment in war savings to sup- port the country's war effort. MAXIMUM EFFORT The dominion's war effort, he pointed out, is to be the maximum that the people of Canada can con- tribute toward a British victory. There is no other measure for it. The task of financing it must be Placed nn the same footing and war savings are a vital feature. Canadians who contribute their share of support in this way. can only satisfy themselves and the needs of the situation by investing every cent they can spare. Those who felt that the purchase of a few war savings stamps would meet their obligation had a wrong conception of the whole situation, he said. The committee's appeal is for the purchase of ce1'tiifcates, not stamps—the purchase of as many certificates regularly as ez.ch individual can pay for out of his earnings.
