SCANLAN (Author of "Pencarrow") o-r.m-a•o-w�+w Here we see a group a young peo plc carried on the tides of youth Young Kelly Pencarrow finally settles down on the Pencarrow farm, with Genevieve, his cousin, as housekeeper; who is in love with her cousin, Robin Herrick. Cousin Neil Macdonald be. comes engaged to Erena Joicey-Goff. Peter Pencarrow Is showing interest in Maisie Kite, a typist. The family is suddenly., faced with the serious illness of Sir Miles pen Barrow. Kelly suddenly marries Maisie Kite. Then the Great War breaks out. Robin feels he must inlist. "Can't something be done, Miles?" Kitty had surrendered her pride, and the tears streamed down her face. She bad tried to restrain her- self in front of Robin, but all clay she had sought ,some way to circum- vent his folly; to get him out of it. "Can't you say that he is essenti- al to you; that you can't spare him?" "It wouldn't do. I can hardly go ori speaking and urge young men to join up and keep Robin back. It wouldn't do. He is single and he has no dependents." "If he were married, Iike Kelly, with children . . •" "Ah! Then he would not be ex- pected to go." If Robin were married! If he had married Genevieve, or even Maisie— anyone, in fact, she could have kept bim. The irony of it; the tragedy! The very means she had employed to keep him'was sending him from her. She woke in an agony of despair, and an idea occiired to her. If Robin married now! Would that make it all right! "Mother! How could you suggest it." Potty Barker and Philip Gentry had been in camp three days before Robin arrived. He had been given two days' grace to fix up important matters in connection with a trial thatwas to come on at the next sit- ting of the Snupreme Court. Gentry had a commission in • the Wellington Mounted Rifles and Robin was lieutenant in the Infantry. They were the type of young roan needed for officers. When Robin went into camp his mother came to Manawatu in order to be near him. She had failed to get him out of the army and now concentrated on making everything smooth and pleasant, wangling what privileges she could obtain from the Commandant. "A pretty woman, but a damn' nuisance," was her rating at G.H.Q. "Don't, Mother; please don't;' Robin implored when she told him of the favours she had asked and the special leave she had obtained for him. "But, Robin dear--" "It's no use, Mother. I'm a solider now and it makes a fool of me in camp, all this petting. I've got to stick it like the rest. Please don't ask anything else or I'll simply have to refuse when it is offered. Already I know they are talking about it; the other chaps, I mean." Potty Barker was in the Welling- ton Infantry, though not in Robin's company. Occasionally they met, but their common tastes were few. Robin and Gentry, both young of- ficers, though one was foot and the other mounted, were thrown together more frequently, yet no great friend- ship resulted. There is a difference which draws people together and a difference that keeps them apart. Each had his qualities and they were both part of the Pencarrow clan, but their friendship struck no roots; it was pleasant but superficial. Whenever any of the Pencarrows met the subject of Robin's enlist- ment cane up. for discussion.

He would have married me years ago and we might have had our children, but you kept him tied to your apron -strings. This is your punishment, the reward of your selfish love." But when she saw the piteous ap- peal in Kitty's face, the ravages of that bitter remorse, her heart failed her. It would be cowardly to strike her now. Kitty had driven the wedge that kept then apart, and something had gone out of their love in the long, futile years of waiting. Now Robin had come to say good- bye. Lieut. Robin Herrick, looking very smart in his new uniform. "Genevieve, can't we get an hour, somewhere, together?" S •.ie shook her head. "You know all I've got to say. It can be said here in front of them." "I can't. I've a lot I want to say to yoi—alone." "Not now. When you come back." "No, now, Genevieve. I must. To- night, after dinner, slip down to that seat under the kowhai tree at the bottom of the garden. Promise. Genevieve; promise you will." He clung to her hand. "Better not. Much better not." But she was weakening. She wanted to yield only to his urgent compulsion. She wanted„ to fel the whip of his insistence,, the crushing weight of his desire; to know herself over- whelmed and to savour that sweet moment, a woman's triumph, when she has decided -to yield, but delays " ou must, Genevieve; ;you must! It's my last night.; I can't leave you like this." • His fingers were steel about hers; he was no longer the diffident lover. Already the normal restraint was slackening. Sudden and foolish mar- riages were being arranged in the nervous heat of patriotic fervour. Men, rejected as civilians, became desirable as soldiers. The uniform and training had smartened them up, and the glamour of romance swept sober reason aside. Life in camp had wakened that latent soldier instinct which. Robin had inherited from his father. He fitted in easily, and did not feel alien to the task. (To Be Continued.) Mantillas And Fans Latest Addition To Feminine Coquetry Paris.—The classic Spanish influ- ence in evening accessories is the latest addition to the store of femin- ine coquetry. It is in the choice of the dainty little things that give the finishing touch of elegance that the fashion- able woman shows her taste and per- sonality.

Ethel Rog- ers Mulvany, the only Canadian wo- man in that city, said in an inter- view in Toronto: "I am here to di- rect the Agra and Oudh exhibit at the Canadian National Exhibition." Then she launched into interesting details of housekeeping problems. She started out two years ago with the theory that Indian servants could be treated like servants else- where. She soon got rid of that. "You can't treat them as you would treat servants here," she said. "They would not understand it. I couldn't do any dusting about the house, for instance. If one of the ser- vants saw nie working, he would tell the others and they would think I was just like them. Then Fd find the whole lot of them lolling about doing nothing." She has some 22 servants in her household. Over them is a head man, or bearer, who gives orders to the coolies. For her to order the cool- ies directly would be to destroy the whole system of discipline. "The servants never make excuses, or give a reason, if they are in plexion Clear and Lovely This is to be a navy-blue and white season, and consequently the greatest care must be taken to pre- pareand improve the condition of the skin in order to ensure that our make-up tones perfectly. Every; woman realizes that her complexion is not at its best after ,,the trying days of early spring. A complete overhaul is the right thing at this time of the year, but there is no. reason why this should be ex- pensive. With the exception of a Turkish bath,, you may give yourself a com- plete treatment in your own home. The bath is a good start, as it clears the skin of all acids and waste mat- ter. An oil and a -bleaching mask are the first essentials. 'Clean the skin iherdughly with a cleansing cream or le ion, then remove any stray eye - b ores.

"Suppose I want roses for a din- ner party and there are only three in my garden, I simply tell the servant that I shall need roses for the oc- casion. He goes off and in the ev- ening the vases are filled with roses. No one shows any surprise or asks any questions, but we know that one of the neighbors has lost roses, and that when he needs anything badly we shall lose that in our turn." DEVICE BANISHES ODORS IN HITT En N The popular colors for the season's dresses are directly responsible for the colors in make-up, for make-up must harmonize with our clothes. This season nice creamy rachels and the latest primose shades are right. The pinky and peachy shades, so popular in powder last year, are now to be avoided. Rouge should be used very spar- ingly, while lipstick should be bright pillar -box red, carmine, or scarlet. ineers' Society Told Of,.# ''- rg rs-ror. The Home — Toronto. — Refusing to commit themselves upon the merits of using a raw potato in the frying pan to absorb the odor of frying fish, dele- gates to the semi-annual meeting of the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers stated re- cently an apparatus, costing approxi= mately $60, is the latest and most efficient device for ventilating kit- chens. The ventilator is installed high up on the kitchen's outer wall, not nec- essarily in close proximity to the stove. When odorous foods are be- ing cooked, the cook pulls a string or pushes a button which starts a fan in motion in the ventilator, which whiffs away all offensive odors without the slightest draft, Another gadget, a pocket size water conditioner, resembling a ther- mometer, was shown by a delegate. When agitated in water, it produc- ed electrons which conditioned water without the use of chemicals. If used in water before a shampoo, the hair would be oft and lustrous, he said. It brought out the flavor of tea and coffee, conditioned water so that vegetables did not lose color or form in cooking, and if agitated in a glass of cheap raw rye whiskey produced a drink that tasted as if it had been aged in the wood at least half a century, he said. Massage as' Cure For Inso iia Muscular Relaxation Essential To Sound Sleep -CHALLENGE. True Sportsmanship Among Swimmers Drowning and acquatic accidents exceed the traffic hazards in the months of July and August every year. Be careful and insist on others being careful and so help to break this record. Follow these rules: Everyone should know how to swine. Everyone should know how to res- cue a drowning person. Everyone should learn the Prone Pressure Method of Resuscitation. Never dive in unknown, shallow or rocky waters. A deep dive even in clear water is dangerous. Always wait two hours after eat- ing before going into the water. Avoid drinking any cold beverage before going in swimming. If afflicted with heart trouble—do not go an rwimming. Avoid swimming alone in • un- frequented waters, or at night. Avoid teasing inexperienced swim- mers. Teach then to stay in shallow water, to beware of hidden holes, sudden droys, heavy breakers and un- dertows. Be helpful. Even a good swimmer should avoid taking foolhardy chances in the water. Children=even good swimmers — Should not be allowed to swim alone; particularly where there is high surf or danger of an undertow. Save the children, "Manage is a physical rnetbpd which often give.s good service in the treatment of insomnia," writes Sir W. Arbuthnot Lane.

All Rights Reserved Geoffrey St. Clair Graphologist • (Editors Note: Have YOU obtained an interesting character analysis from you handwriting? Have you sent to find out what your friends are realty like? You will be surprised. at the accuracy of the delineations). The other' day I received a letter from one' of my readers who had sent her writing to me some time ago for a character analysis. In writing she commented on the fact that by following the advice. I had given her in delineating her character, she had been able to obtain a very good posi- tion, and she remarked "I am not exaggerating when I say that, had I not had your criticism of my char- acter, and the helpful advice with which you supplemented your critic- ienn, I would not have been able to obtain this new position. It all shows how excellent a •science is Graphol- ogy, and what value it is to those who follow out its promises faithful- ly„ •. In other words it is not merely that a graphological delineation must be accurate, but the resultant diag- nosis MUST be acted upon by the client. After all, there is nothing un- usual in this—any advice is useless unless it leads to 'remedial action. I am reminded of a letter 1 re- ceived some time ago from a young man to whom I had suggested that, for his own good, he adopt a more definite and determined outlook re- garding his future. He was too vacil- lating and procrastinating ever to get anywhere, unless he developed these more aggressive qualities. In replying to me, and asking 'me to . analyse the, writing of his girl friend which he enclosed,::he took issue with my analysi•s,q claiming that whatever• his faults,, he_certalyhd,,; -lints-or'-uuaisiveriess ani determi tion. H,owever,:'on I,Rtsking at the let- ter from his girl friend; which he sent me as a specimen, of leer writing, I found a direct reference in that let- ter to my analysis of his character. Writing this to him, she said: "It certainly is amazing that he can tell your character from your -writing. He has got you down pat in every in- stance". The sequel to this came recently, when this ypung man again wrote to me and expressed his thanks for the constructive criticism I had given, hint previously, and mentioned that I he had found a definite impovement in himself by following out the ad- vice I had given to him. So, again I say, the moral is that the advice must be acted upon if it' is to achieve its aim. The other day, in the course of some graphological work I was doing, for an insurance company, there was' one particular handwriting specimen which I suggested indicated that the writer lacked aggressiveness and ini- tiative. I said that there was definite intelligence, allied to an attractive personality, but added that the writ-' er's lack of initiative would prevent him from getting very far along in his career unless he made some de- finite improvement in certain char- acteristics, to give him much more forceful individuality. It turned. out that the writer of this specimen was a salesman, and it had for a long time been a matter of wonder to his superiors that with so' pleasing a personality,. he was unable I reach a very high mark of effort. It is my hope that the advice I was able to extend to this young man will enable him to make a much- needed improvement, to the end that he will make the fullest use of his undoubted capacities.

The Cardinal updreld the right of a priest to refuse the Eucharist `to a woman with painted lips, and de- nounced what he termed the scan- tiness of some modern dresses and the use of artificial coloring on lips, cheeks and fingernails. P.E.I. Ranchers Get $2,500,000 From Pelts The pelt business, it is estimated, was worth $2,500,000.00 to Prince Edward Island fox ranchers last year. A representative of the Can- adian National Silver Fox Breeders' Association recently returned from London and Paris stated that France is one of the biggest markets for silver fox fur where it is used ex- tensively by designers and style modistes. In Great Britain the de- mand is growing: two years ago silver fox was worn very little. Eng- land is becoming a great centre of the fur dyeing industry, there hav- ing been a great exodus of expert dyers from Leipsig. One firm in Bri- tain had to enlarge its .premises con- siderably: in one day it dyed around 17,000 squirrel skins.
