SYNOPSIS
Here we see a group of young peo
ple carried on the tides of youth
Young Kelly Pencarrow anally, settles
down on the Pencarrow farm, with
Genevieve, his cousin, as housekeeper,
who is in love with her cousin, Robin
times engaged Cousin
Erena Soicey-Goff.
Peter Pencarrow is showing interest
in Maisie Mite, a typist.
The family is suddenly faced with
the serious illness of Sir Miles f'en
°arrow.
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 had tried to restrain her-
self in front of Robin, but all day
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 "Genevieve, can't we get an hour,
him?" somewhere, together?"
"It wouldn't do. I can hardly go
oe 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, like Kelly,
with children . •"
"AhlThen he would not be ex-
pected to go"
If Robin were married! If he had
married Genevieve, or even Maisie—
anyone, in fact, slie could have kept
him. 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 occeired to her. If Robin
married now! Would that make it
all right!
"Mother! How could you suggest
it."
aunt after Robin's enlistment she
felt impelled to take her revenge.
"You took him from me and now
you have lost him. He would have
married me years ago and we might.
have bad 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 them 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.

that was to come on at the next sit-
ting of the Snupreme Court.
Gentry bad 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'ni 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.

"I can't. I've a lot I want to say

"Not now. When you conte back."
"No, now, Genevieve. I must. To-

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
the 'surrender.

AIready 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.

Man in that city, said in an inter-
view in Toronto: "I ani 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 me working, he would tell
the others and they would think I
was just like them. Then I'd find the
whole lot of them lolling about doing
nothing."
Mantillas And Fans
Latest Addition To
Feminine Coquetry
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
fault," she said. "They just say, in
Indian of course, `Sorry Sahib, it
shall not happen again.' It is neces-
sary to be absolutely strict with
them; if one once let them yet out of
hand, you are lost.
"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."

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.

Your Handwriting

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 nee 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-
ism, 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 nie, and asking me
to analyse the writing of his girl
friend which he 'enclosed, he took
issue with my analysis, claiming that
whatever his faults, he certainly had
lots of decisiveness and determina-
tion. However, on looking at the let-
ter from his girl friend which he sent

found a direct referenee in that let-
ter
etter 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

The sequel to this came recently,
when this young man again wrote to
nee and expressed his thanks for, the
constructive criticism I had given,
him previously, and mentioned that!
he had found a definite impovement i
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 int-'
tiative. I said that there was definite
intelligence, allied to an attractive
personality, but added that the writ -i
er's lack of initiative would prevent'
him from getting very far along in
this 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
reacth 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.

BOSTON,—The liberal use of cos-

William Cardinal O'Connell, Arch-
bishop of Boston, as an attempt to
imitate Pagan savages, in a sermon
delivered after he had administered
the sacrament of confirmation to 500
women converts at the Cathedral of
the Holy Cross.
The Cardinal upheld the right of a
priest to refuse the Eucharist to a

the use of artificial coloring on lips,

P.F.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 Parris stated that Fiance
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 clay it dyed around
17,000 squirrel shins.
Fire Losses Increase
Toronto. — For the second on
secutive month fire losses in Cana-
during May recorded an increase, ac-
cording to the Monetary Times' re
port made public recently. Total
losses were $2,466,375,
This compares with $2,135,650 in
the p e tiding month, and with $2,-
002,600 during May, 1934. The in -
crease during May was largely ac-
counted for by the $400,000 convent

dition to several large stores and
warehouse fires at Sydney and New
Glasgow in Nova Scotia, St. Pas -
