Meisie's brain throbbed. She bit
Icer lip and held her head high. So
that was it—she was sacked. Why?
All this talk of reorganizing the of-
fice was rubbish. She was sacked.
Did Robin know? Of course he
must. Perhaps not. Sir Miles had
sent him off on. a couple of weeks'
holiday to Napier as a reward for
the long mouths of heavy work and
responsibility he had had during
Miles's illness. He and his mother
were in Napier now. What did it
man? She was not aware of hav-
ing trane ressd in any way.
She could hear Sir Miles's voice
saying he would give her a letter of
the highest commendation—personal
recommendation, What did she
care? She was sacked. Why? Did
Robin know ? Her mind went round,
asking the same question over and
over.
Miles ceased to speak but she did
net move, Sacked! To begin all
oscr again. She felt suddenly tired
—tired from the unequal struggle.
"Good -afternoon, Miss Kite."
Suddenly her mind came back to
the immediate present.
"Good afternoon, Sir Miles."
She kept the tears back while she
put on her hat' and coat. Outside
the wind howled, a spiteful east

son's corner she paused and stood in
the recess for shelter a moment, her
eyes now stinging with tears of an-
ger. Blindly she was staring at a
row of silver eigaretee-and-sover-
eign-eases.
"Hullo, Maisie! Whose birthday
is it --mine?"
Kelly stood beside her. "I'd like
that one," he said, pointing to a
massive one in gold.
She kept her head averted to bide
the tears.
"What's up? Maisie! What's the
matter?" he asked, suddenly aware
of her misery.
"I've been sacked, Kelly."
"Sacked!" he said, puzzled. "Who
sacked you?"
"I've been
father."
"Father! What a damn' shame,
Who's at the bottom of this?"
His sudden synpthy lessened her
control and she could not answer.
"Here! ' I've got the car round
the corner. Hop in; want to talk '
to you about this."
"There's nothing to say, Kelly."
"Oh, isn't there? Come on!"
"Where are you going?"
"Home!" said Kelly. "We can't
talk here,"
Robin and Kitty got back next
day and Norah asked all the family
to dinner. Genevieve was still at
home, having made first one and
then another excuse for postponing
her return to Kelly, and her father
encouraged her. He did not want
her to go back to the Hutt.
Genevieve thought it better not
to go until she and Robin had told
the family of their engagement.
She wanted to be free, as it were,
in order to move swiftly if neces-
sary. Miles had insisted upon Robin
having a holiday as he looked tired,
so once again they decided to defer
the announcement.
"It may be the last holiday Mother
and I will have together like this,
and I want to make it something
she will remember, and if we told
her now that would spcil it all."
"I suppose you're right," said
Genevieve.
"You. don't mind, do you darling,?
Just two weeks more. You don't
think I want to put it off, do you?"
"No, it's not that; but something.:

Kitty was high in spirits when they
got back font Napier.
"We've had the loveliest holiday,
Norah. Robin is such a darling. I
don't thick any mother ever had
such son. He spoilt me complete-
ly "
Belly was silent throughout din-
ner and listened to all the happy
holiday talk as thoughit were of
small importance.
The evening was chilly, and a
cheerful fire burnt in the grate.
Chairs were drawn up, and Gene-
vieve, her elbows on her knees, her
shoulders hunched, sat on a stool
and Miles rested a lean, brown hand
for a moment, on her head. Fre-
quently now he made these affec-
tionate gestures, having at last

In certain of any articles I have
endeavoured to answer certain. ob-
jections that some correspondents
have raised regarding Graphology.
As a result I have received quite a
munber of letters from readers ex-
pressing their agreement with my
comments.
But one correspondent took issue
with me, and all because of certain
things I had told him about himself.
Apparently I had told him that he
thought too much about himself
that he was too self-satisfied,
He said that he was not at all
like this—but it took hien eight
large pages to tell me what he did.

ing very much to answer to this
gentleman, excepting to express the
conviction that if he thought lie

his opinion of himself, then indeed
my previous observations about hila;
were correct; that, indeed, he did
think too much of himself!
In the same snail there came a
very broadminded letter from a man
of forty years of age. He thanked
nie for analysing his character, and
went on to say: "Thank you for
giving me the best laugh I've had in

Now, it isn't everyone who can be
so broadminded about his faults—
but there is a lesson in this letter,
and that is the reason I have quoted
it. There is no virtue in fooling our-

ane kind or another—and it is the

about them, so that they may be rec-

British Writers
Are Criticized
New York - = A Briton recently
praised the "gusto" of American
novelists and said British readers
are turning more and more to
American novels for qualities of ex-
citing entertainment.
Norman Collins, partner in a Lon-
don publishing firm, said; "When I
read an 'American novel I think of
a good dogfight, with something hap-
pening all the time.
"In England they are mostly on
leashes and are not likely to start a
fight,
"Or you can think of it as a nice
canter, with the author mentally
pouring tea for himself en route, as
against a steeplechase, with a lot of
horses falling, but action, excitement
and gusto every minute.
"That is why American books are
being read in England, rather than
the writings of our frightfully clever
young men, who are ashamed of their
emotions and have successfully di-
vested themselves of intellectual
curiosity."
"The secret of being miserable it
to have leisure to bother about
whether you are happy or not." —
George Bernard Shaw,
