He won't be home for dinner; he's staying at the Club." "Now isn't that annoying?" "And he says not wait up, he might be late, Mother•" "All this nonsense about a war," Lady Pencarrow diad no patience with disorganizing meals because an Archduke had been murdered in Europe. It was ridiculous. "It can't effect us out here," Gen- evieve consoled her. "Of course it can't, But your father kept me awake till all hours this morning. Since he gave up reading books about diet he has got all this humbug about Germany wanting to fight England, Why she should, 1 don't know," "I bet he's down at the club, tell- ing them all about it. The darling, he does love to gloat," At midnight Sir Mies came home, looking very serious. "England has declared war, Norah." Norah woke up and looked at him sleepily, "Has she? I'm sorry you weren't at home; the beef was so tender." "Dinner! You tali;, of dinner when, the Empire is at war." . - You'lrib l wadeie 'can ren. "Wake them! Of course I'll wake them. Genevieve!" he called; lBilt Genevieve was already awake and came in, wrapping her dressing gown around her. "We're at war, Genevieve; at war." "It won't affect us out here will it?" she asked. "It mayi it may; We've got to stand by the Old Country, I'd be off tomorrow if I were a young man." The mornng paper was full of it. Scare headlines swept local politics out of sight. Little business was done in town, and people stood about talking, wondering, speculating. Men who had fought in the South African war spoke with authority of veterans, and their words had weight. Military training made no great ap- peal to the average New Zealand youth. He was proud of his uniform in the school cadet corps, which was part of the scheme, but the majority regarded drill night as a nuisance. The annual camp was all right in its way, but in a young, peaceful, free country there were more attractive ways of spending a holiday than in playing soldiers. The military spirit was not strong, and the rigid discip- line of army training was irksome to his independent mind. Now England was at war and the test of British loyalty had come. New Zealand was over ninety-eight per cent. British, and descendants of English, Scottish and: Irish were in- stantly one in their response. At first there was no real urgency. Only the eager ones rushed into uniform. for few believed that they would ewer see the firing line. Meanwhile, across twelve thous- and miles of ocean, the cables carried New Zealand's offer of assistance, and England's grateful acceptance. The men began to enlist in earnest. Young men went to work in the morning as clerks and shop assist- ants, as plumbers and butchers, as farmers and lawyers, and came home soldiers at night, At such a great distance from Europe news came in brief and' bro- ken messages, relayed by cable ac- ross the seas, People hung about the newspaper offices, waiting for of- ficial bulletins to be posted. Much wild talk and many rumors gained currency because of the lack of actual news. In a small, remote country, fol- lowing its peaceful occupation in towns and on farms, where war and talk of war was like a traveller's tale, something fanciful but not touch_ ing their lives, it was difficult to visu- alize the conditions in old militant countries, their standing armies and all the permanent reminder. of the danger of conquest, New Zealand knew nothing of this. Her politicians were not harassed by thoughts of foreign invasion. They were absorbed In purely local prob- lems. Obtaining grants for roads and bridges and the new post office were the test of their ability. Better trans- portation was the very lifeblood of this young country, and the Member of Parliament who kept his eye on the new macadem road and left Eur- ope to mind her own business was the successful man. In a farming district work begins early and ends late, and stock re- ports, market prices and the weather prediction takes precedence over "some trouble in the Balkans," a pIace as remote as the moon. Of Central Europe, they knew little and cared less. The young men on the farms did not both about such things. Football, horse -racing, sport and work filled their days. The order-. men men who knew e 1. 4os °t' 6 Q9q�Ga`>a• Enjoy areally'ne, hand -made cigarette 1 rCl 1QUD own wit GOLDEN '411 lfilIA. something very real, were full of concern and doubtful knowledge. The women wondered, and the wise ones grew afraid. Robin lay awake for hours, Tomor- row he would enlist; he must, He was not sure that he wanted to, but once again the terrible fear of being afraid distressed him. Had he been quite sure of himself, he might have been content to talk it over with his mother; w_ h Miles, But he dare not. So many single men he knew had al- ready enlisted, and he had no legiti- mate reason or holding back, Two men from the office had joined up. Miles, now an ardent militarist, had not approved of their precipitate ac- tion as it disorganized the work, but publicly he commended them, (To be Continued.)

My own personal feeling about you is that you'don't love either of these young Men. It seems td me that you would soon realise it if you were in love with one of them. No.1 young man is affectionate, loyal, straightforward, rather digni- fied and not the tye to 'wear his heart on his ,sleeve'.,, The second young man is more expressive of his feelings, more spontaneous, He is also straightforward, as is the first one, There isn't a great deal to choose between either of them. There is some difference in temperaments, but you could, I believe, get along quite well with both of them. The No. 2 youth has this advantage —he is living nearer to you and can see more of you than is possible for the first young man, And, all thugs h can b e no doubt ' equal, there being q , t that propinquity adds to the possi- bilities for mutual association, and The Duchess of Kent is the first descendant of Mary Queen of Scots to stay at Holyrood Palace a,. wife of the Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

The Duchess of Kent. like , the Duke, has extremely good taste; and she has been careful to see that her new curtains, chair covers and wall decorations were such as would make the ideal background for tate lovely furniture which is one of the beau- ties of the house. GOOD COTRASTS. An ivory satin has been selected for the Duchess's bedroom, and there is an interesting difference between the curtains and chair coverings, for while the former bave a thin diagon- al self -stripe, the latter are (scatter- ed with stars similarly woven in the material so that the effect Carries out that suggestion of a Regency atmos- phere which somehow pervades the whole house. Rough -cast materials are used both in the Duke's study and in his bed- room. The Duke is obviously fond of dark blue, for in the former room (tile curtains are white with an edging of navy blue braid, while the chairs are entirely covered in navy blue. LOVELY LINEN. • In the bedroom the rough 'fabric of the curtains is dyed a each color, which contrasts delightfully with the blue-green of the satin bed cover, over which is laid a peach -beige quilt. As an artist herself, the Duchess appreciates lovely handwork and characteristic of her exquisite taste is the bed linen she has purchased, Sheets and pillow -cases of the fin- est white linen appliqued with a pale blue satin edge and sprays of flowers comprise one set; another is in pais pini linen with leaves ;scattered over it.

Rightly, the goldeye is the pride of the ,prairie, — perhaps even "Mani- toba's only distinctive contribution to the world's gustatory delight." Many are its merits, To begin with, it is smoked and therefore can be car- ried far, bringing joy to Montreal and New York no less than to Bran- don. Then it is a "secretive" fish and does not too loudly anounce its pres- ence in the kitchen while being cook- ed. This is a trick it might well teach the kipper. Its appearance, on the first meeting, is perhaps startling — its bright rose -gold suggesting an origin in the aquarium or in the oriental print room of the museum. But once understood, this brilliance only lends enchantment. It is accom- modating in the matter of bone structure, a virtue which we wish the delicate shad would imitate. And, last, but first in importance, its mild flavour is superb. The Tribune's figures tell the sad story: -- The catch of goldeye in Manitoba waters in 1926 was 1,162,000 pounds. In 1929 it was 1,110,500 pounds. In 1930 it was 574,000 pounds. In 1933 it was 280,000 pounds, and in 1984 pit` was 825,000 pounds. -- Montreal Star.

Golf Game Ask ninety-nine golfers out of a hundred the origin of golf and they will say unhesitatingly that the game was first played in Scotland. But, ac- cording to Major W. G. Tucker, sec- retary of the Royal Blackheath Golf Club in England, which claims to be the oldest existing golf club with a continuous history, the exact origin of,.golf is lost in the mists of an- tiquity. "Literary researches into the sub- ject," he writes in the current Ro- tarian Magazine, "have led to the conclusion that the name golf was probably derived from the Teutonic kolbe, a club (kolf in low Dutch is a game). By a Scotch Act of Parlia- ment in 1424, prohibiting games that interfered with archery and other military sports, football is prohibited, and no mention is made of golf. By another Act of Parliament in 1457, football and golf are prohibited, so that it seems likely the game was in- troduced between those dates or per- haps became popular after football But items in the accounts of the "In 1491, King James IV of Scot- land decreed: `Futeball and Golfe forbidden. Item, it is statut and or- dainit that in na place of the scalene there be usit fute-ball, golfe, or tither sik unprofitabills pontis. . . . But items in the accounts of the lord high treasurer (1503-6) show that King James, himself, yielded tot he lure of this 'unprofitabill sportis.' The Edinburgh council, in 1529, proclaimed "threw this burgh' that `na inhabitants of the samyn be seen at any pastymes within or without that town, upon the Sab- both day, sic as golfe, etc.' A year later the proclamation was repeated but the prohibition was modified to read 'in tyme of sermons.' "Be this •as it may," he continue "1oia1...tradition .mailitaina,,,,th,�te Kii James I of. England and • V'I -of ' Scot:- land disported himself at golf on Blackneath when he held court at Greenwich, subsequently sanctioning the formation of a Society of Golfers in 1608." Old Scotch records reveal that other kings were among the early devotees of the game in Scotland and England. And so the reason is aparent why golf often is referred to as a "royal sport." Think u t New Daily Problems Chapel Hill, N.C.—New graduates of the University of North Carolina left the campus with the advice -of Mrs. Franklin D, Roosevelt to "think out new ways of doing things," "These are difficult times," Mrs. Roosevelt said. "We are more pros porous and hopeful than a few years ago. But we who look at realities— and you graduates must look at real- ities—we cannot say we are satisfied with our country or things as they exist today." She said that while "we would like to see everyone with a minimum in- come," the question of the hour is "how to start," Appealing for courage, initiative and imagination "to try, in this strongest of nations "to solve its problems, she declared: "We in this nation do not produce enough today to give every individual an income sufficient for a decent standard of living, We must think out new, ways of doing things. This machine age has grown up so rapidly we "don't know how to handle it." Pine.Fed Pigs la the Middle Ages millions of porkers picked up a precarious liv- ing in the great forests, grubbing for acorns and roots. To -day they are regaled on quick -fattening oil - cake, which makes bettor bacon. But such fare is dear, and n Germans have e been enjoined to observe economy in pig -feeding. Now a German chemist has come to their aid with an extract from pine -wood, of which commodity Germany has millions of acres. It is claimed that this extract is capable of fattening pigs rapidly and satis- factorily. The experimental results have proved so encouraging that a ' factory has,s t t ins ac o been .et i at Mannhc Yp 38. to .produce the extraet. (From the Winnipeg Tribune) Significant figures! The catch of goldeye in Manitoba waters in I92 was 1,162,000 ounces, In 1929 it was 1,110,500 pounds. In 1930 it was' 574- 000 pounds. In 1933 it was 280,000 pounds, and in 1934 it was 325,000 pounds. The price has been rising steadily, and the fishermen have re- doubled their efforts, naturally, to catch a fish worth up to 38 cents a pound. The figures simply mean the gold-, eye is disappearing, and that is seri-, ous. The practical disappearance of the once -flourishing whitefish industry is heel enough, but that was simply al case of greedy men destroying a val- uable industry for their own, profit.1 ] But the disappearance of the gold - eye is something else, It is not merely a money loss, im- portant though that may. be. It is the loss of Manitoba's only distinc- i tive contribution to the world's gus- tatory delight—something that has' made the name of Winnipeg to be spoken with reverence in all the shrines to the palate. The really distinctive contributions to the world's dining tables are few„ and Canada has been responsible for only perhaps half a dozen all told. Most of our good products — maple .syrup is an example—we share with] other countries, The Montreal melon is one of Canada's prime products,: and the goldeye ranks with it at the' top of the list. Unfortunately the goldeye has won its sway with too conspicious success,! It is doomed to extinction unless' something is done about it. It is not too late to do something,; and the best of experts should be. called in to decide what measures of, conservation should be adopted. A. catch of 325,000 pounds last season. suggests that the breeding stock is still available. The experts should be given the task of studying the ways of this fish, and working out, plans under which supply can be - conserved: with reasonable market • eaduction„ • Wonders have - been worked by Patient scientists in the,; propagation of fish ,if the trout, bass and other game varieties. Here is an opportunity to perpetu-; ate a fish which has perhaps a great-, er advertising value for Winnipeg and;; Manitoba than any other product, At A Reception Two undergraduates made a bet' that at a big function the people re -1 ceiving the guests were so tired 'oft murmuring appropriate phrases ands so dazed by the constant stream off passers-by, that they took in very' little of what was said to them.

As he reached the" distinguished couple he bowed, smil- ed appropriately, took the extended! hand, and said: "1 murdered your mother this morning." "Very glad to see you here," said the famous man, beaming the st beam.
