nity marked her manner under every
circumstance, She had forgiven him
and was prepared to begin again,
and Neil was grateful for her
silence.
The Armistice came with the
summer. The eleventh of November
had seen the blossom in the orchards
give place to the budding fruits; the
gold of the kowhai along the Hutt
river had faded and fallen, but the
manuka's white, starry flower frost-
ed the windswept trees. The long
days had come again, and the early
roses were in full bloom.
After war's dark night, the corn-
ing of peace and the glory of a
summer dawn, Was it true? Was
the war really over?
The Penearrows held a family re-
joicing. Michael and Miles were
there, but Peter was again in camp
at Awapuni, and Potty was shearing
his sheep down the Sounds.
Robin was still in a convalescent
home in England, and Gentry was
dead. Pat was somewhere in the
North Sea, and Kelly was at the
front when the mad, delirious news
came through. The war was over; be
could come home at last.

As the news of the Armistice
swept through New Zealand, so
swept that devastating epidemic of
influenza that some people thought
was plague. Starting in the north. it
came south like a prairie fire, sweep-
ing every town and settlement, and
finding in these healthy victims a
fertile field for the propagation of
its deadly work. Men whose years
had accorded them immunity from
the war were the first to be num-

Then the Great War breaks out. Robin

Potty Barker came home on the

children to Wellington to meet him.
"Well, what do you think of the
war now?" asked Miles.
"A fair b1—"
"Potty! The children!" Jessie re•

Potty grinned. "A fair cow," he
finished mildly.
"Glad to be home again, 1 bet,"
said Miles heartily.
"The Sounds'' do me for the rest
of me natural."
He put his arm round Jessie and
gave her a bearish hug.
"How about it, old girl?"
But Jessie, in her happiness,
seemed bereft of words, and the
children had not yet become ac-
customed to this strange father
with only one arm.
Neil had returned on the sante
ship, a much subdued and chastened
man. He had seen so much of suffer-
ing, of silent courage, and the
human wreckage of war, that his
own importance had shrunk as
something pitiable.
Erena met him without a trace of
bitterness; the same calm, quiet dig -

Men and women who had org
ized work for war's necessities no I/
turned their energy to righting this
new evil, They made a daily nal till
of every house, knocking on the
door, and if they did not receive i
response they broke in and brought
help. Relief depots were opened, and;
those who could not go out nursing',
supplied soups and foods . All bar -;j

from Duffield; Michael was 'down

"I'll go," said Genevieve. "Poo-

Five days later Michael was dead:

1I E COMPLEX FOR
MODERN WOMAN
Author Of Book On Machine
1 ge Tells Of Present -
Day Problems
TORONTO, "The commonest
•torni of recreation anioilg women of
all classes, married and unmarried,
is perhaps clothes—a feature to be
pondered upon," says Mrs. M. M.
KIrkwood, author of "Women and the
Machine Age," and assistant proles -
soy of English in University College.
Other favorite forms of recreation
she notes in a pamphlet recently pub_
llshed by the Social Service Council
of Canada, are the "movies" or "talk-
ies," the use of the motor car, and a
growing interest in athletics and out-
door sports.
The pamphlet is the seventh in tdie
series on "The Machine Age," and
come to the conclusion that there is
needed a new standard of social re-
sponsibility.
Mrs. Kirkwood sees a need for a
new ideal of marriage and home life
combining the new liberty (brought
about by the introduction of machin-
ery) with the old seriousness and
sanity. The morality based on the
knowledge of birth control and the
equality of women in the marriage
relationship is far ffrom mature yet,
she asserts in stressing the responsi-
bilities of home building and child
training. Amusement as a sole aim.
in life will satisfy neither man nor
woman, she believes, and for the nor-
mal fullfiliment of human experience
education for social relationships is
needed as much as for vocations and
academic success.
Eight -ounce Baby
Lived For A Day
New York—An eight ounce baby
girl died after an all -day struggle by
five physicians and two nurses to
keep her alive.
The tiny infant, whose birth was
premature by 41% months, was the
first child of Patrolman Terrence
Borelli, 29, and his wife, Marjorie,
26.
• Physicians said the baby was nor-
mal in every respect save size. She
measured 13 inches in length and had
a head circumference of nine inches.
The infant, born at 6:25 a.m., was
placed immediately in an incubator.
Late in the afternoon she seemed to
stop breathing, but after a series of
injections and increased applications
of oxygen she appeared to rally. At
6:45 • p.m., Dr. Lester Samuels pro-
nounced her dead.
Twenty -year-old Juanita Cruz, tor-

ring, earned £5,000 last year. Until

Ytnu Han writiinj Tells Your Real
Character
By GEOFFREY ST. CLAIR
(Graphologist)
All Rights Reserved.
A correspondent sends me samples
of the handwriting of several well-
known film stars and asks me to
analyse the writings for her. There
is so much of interest in these ana-
lyses that I am making them the
subject of a special article.
Perhaps you have wondered why
many men have been led into the
different pursuits in which they have
gained fame and fortune? It is im-
mensely interesting to think what
might have been if different individ-
uals bad been born with traits of
character that were entirely different
from the real characteristics of their
nature!
Many men and women are born into
this world with definite talents and
abilities, that they must learn in or-
der to take full advantage of them.
Some go through life and never even
learn their proper talents while others
find and develop them early in life.
Take the handwriting of Join
Boles, a well-known star., The domin-
ant trait in his character is self-re-
liance. This is the quality that makes
him depend only on himself for any..
thing die wants done. He is not sur-
ly (quite the contrary) to his many
friends, but, at the same time, he
looks to one man only to get what
he wants—and that man is himself.
John Boles could not be anything
else if he desired—there is an inde-
pendence of thought and action that
will not allow him to think of help
when he has a problem to face. He
is close-mouthed about his personal
affairs, and will usually have them
solved before other people have heard
about them. Decisive, quick -thinking
—a man of action—John Boles.
Some time ago I analysed the
writing of Ramon Navarro. This film
star was very fortunate in finding
his talent and making it the driving
force of his life Ills writing s'hows,,
as all those who have seen his films
know, that he is a great dramatic
actor --that he can interpret a role
in a way that few people can even
approach, but he has also another
ability and auother very outstanding
talent with which he has won recog-
nition—his ability in music. The rhy-
thm and breaks in his writing show
immediately to the handwriting aria-,
lyst—a talent and appreciation of the
musical arts.
You, my reader, may not have any
tremendous talents like these well.'
known film actors. On the other hand,
you may have some outstanding abil_'
ity with which you could, If you re-
cognized it, and cultivated it, acquire
a good position or fill a particular
niche in life. But you must under-;
stand yourself; you must realise the
latent abilities within yourself and,'
once recognizing these, set to work
to make the most of them..
A. graphological delineation will not
invest you with particular powers or
abilities; it will show you whether;
or not you possess some outstanding
talent which you, ought to cultivate.!
And it will show you to a greater;
understanding of yourself and your
problems.

Iceland Isn't
..uch A Cold Place
An Icelandic nurse, spending six
weeks in Toronto, doing public
health and hospital observation work
for the Red Cross, is Miss Sigviduv
Bachman.
Miss Bachman is a graduate nurse
of University College Hospital, Lon-
don, with post -graduate work in
public health at Bedford College,
England. She has come to Canada
at the request of the Icelandic Red
Cross Society, under the Exchange
Committee of the Canadian Nurses'
Association, to observe methods here
and take back to the work in her
native land, to which she returns in
the fall, the benefit of her experi-
ence.
"The Icelandic climate is not near-
Iy so severe as people think it is --
it is modified by the Gulf Stream,"
Miss Bachman said, in an interview.
"This year we had the best May
we have had in years—much warmer
than it was in England."
Schools close in May, not because
of the heat. but on account of the
short days in winter. People like to
make the most of the summer and
get the children off to the country
for a long vacation. Some of the
days in November and December do
not have more than five or six hours
of daylight, she added. "The hous-
ing is quite good—`stone' houses, we
call them, mostly made of cement,
with general heating, of coal, with
furnaces." The State hospital, as
well as the houses in that area are
heated from the geyser, "the biggest
hot springs in the world," she said.
Most of the women and girls of Ice-
land are adopting the Western dress,
although many of the older women
still cling to their national costume.
Business Better
Peatty Declares
Halifax.—Canadian business gen-
erally is benefiting by a sound,
steady improvement which has been
in progress for a considerable time,
Sir Edward Beatty, president of
the Canadian Pacific Railway, said
here recently as he stepped down
from a special train which is carry-
ing him through the Maritimes an
an annual tour of inspection of com-
pany enterprises. The only cloud on
Canada's industrial recovery front,
the rail chief asserted, was in West-
ern Canada, where crop prospects
were indefinite and where there was
mo assurance that the 1985 yield
would be 'readily marketed.
"Quinties"
Observes the Chicago Teih:ane.--
And now it's happened! Horror of
horrors! Whither„ are we drifting?
Some of the ea§tern newspapers
have already published the thing in
streamer headlines: "First' Birthday
for the Dionne Quinties!" The very
sound of the thing makes one grow
pale and have severe shooting pains
in the neck. Not content with such
awful atrocities as "eatie sfloppie"
and "good nightie" and "alrightey"
and "kiddies" and "okie", now we
have to see that awful thing -quirt-
ties" staring us in the face every
now and then. And next somebody
will be changing Mother's day to
"Muzzies' day." Quick, Watson, the
needle!
