The family is suddenly faced with the serious illness of Sir t4liles hen carroty. Kelly suddenly marries Maisie Kite. Then the Great War breaks out. Robin feels he must inlist. Surely the world had in these years of war terrible calamity. It though those who had war, and prospered by pay the price. It was after Easter when Kelly reached home, a thinner, older Kelly, with grey streaks at his temples and a decided limp as he walked. The three small sons had grown into schoolboys, and his little daugh- ter Bitty, whom he had never seen, was trgee years old. All those lovely baby days had been denied hint. Maisie had told the child about her father and she had grown to know him from photographs. But, frightened by all the excitement around her, she turned from Kelly's outstretched arms and hid her face on Maisie's shoulder. "Darling, this is your Daddy." But Bitty clung fast. "She is excited, dear. She doesn't understand," Maisie said, but she saw the disappointment in Kelly's face as Bitty turned away. -Wait till we get home, dear, and ycu'Il have the joy of courting your daughter and winning her away from me." Ke:ly with difficulty curbed his impatience to ;Bold the child and feel lac; resnons , it}# he knew Maisie was right "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" It was good to have his boys about him asking awkward questions and telling him foolish things. And Maisie! It was strange to come back to a wife after nearly four veers. It was hard to think coherently, to understand all the changes, and to realize that Michael and Gentry were dca.i . . and Duffield was his. His father kept talking and his _,��•riiother wept happily and asked if the socks always fitted. Genevieve was the quiet one now, and she and Maisie seemed to share a. silent un- derstanding. They had grown close together in these sad years. Ile was bewildered by it all. "Let's go home, Maisie. I can't stand any more," he said when Miles wanted them alI to stay on to din- ner. "I think we had better go now, Father. It has been a long day for the children, and they are too young to understand," said Maisie. "And I want Kelly all to myself for an hour," she added, smiling frankly. A month later Robin arrived. From his letters, and from vague reports and rumours, and also from what Kelly said, they had been prepared for a grave change: Robin afflicted with nerves, irritable, querulous, -restless. They had glossed it over ..?.-When talking to Kitty. "I shall give the rest of my life making it up to him," she said, and a fanatical light of renunciation shone in her dark eyes.

She had built up for herself a new world of activity; a wider • circle of friends. It was a purposeful activity, not the light-hearted participation that found in it amusement.. Now he was home, and she wduld spend her life making up for these years of suffering; this waste of pain and the hideous memories it had left. She would wipe them out and fill his mind. with everything that was pleasant and gay. Soon he' would forget and be the same gentle, hap- py, sniffling Robin; her son again. Robin sat beside his mother at the dinner Miles gave to welcome him. •It was pathetic to watch her, and Genevieve could see his growing irritation as she plied him with fool- ish questions about honours and medals. Genevieve noticed how the sen- sitive features had sharpened; the twitching eyelids, the jerky move- ments of his restless hands, the drawn -down corners of this mouth— they all betrayed a tension that was braced in defence. A sudden noise, a menacing hush, a direct challenge, a stupid question, and his slight con- trol weakened and his composure gave way. Without revealing her motive, Genevieve lifted the burden of at- tention from him and drew it to herself. Out of that habitual quiet into which she had taken herself, and to which the family had now be- cmne accustomed, she emerged with a flash of the old cheeky impudence. She talked at random and carried them to the end of the intolerable meal.. Afterwards she stood willqfpark.n the balcony, looking out acr sc e harbour. Her voice was smooth again, and the jarring note of jest, having served its purpos disap- peared as she spoke of odd little homely things, everyday affairs. She did not. offer sympathy or probe old wounds. It took on the calm of a commonplace meeting. Genevieve was afraid that his mother's possessive devotion and desire to sacrifice herself for him would exasperate him and fret his nerves. Even in this first hour he seemed glad to creep under Gene- vieve's calm for shelter from it. "Tell me about yourself, Gene- vieve. You're thinner." "And older; four years older." "It's not that; you've changed. What is it? But I suppose I needn't ask; it hit us all, even you out here." They could not talk of intimate things, but slid along the surface, afraid that any deeper touch night stir a wound. They had longed for, and dreaded, this hour, and now it had come they stood apart, a gulf between them. (To Tie Continued.)

When the matter is considered seriously it seems odd that the Em- pire metropolis sloes not possess such powers already. Within• the last 20 years various seaside and other resorts have obtained powers to spend money on self-advertis- ment. Blackpool, the great amuse- ment centre of Lancashire, manag- ed many years earlier to rush through an inconspicuous section in an Improvement Act which made legal expenditure on publicity. Some other towns got around the diffi- culty by voting a salary to the mayor, on the understanding that it would be spent on advertising the town's merits. Four years ago a general Act of Parliament enabled a "local author.: ity" to contribute to an "approved organization" which would circulate information about the amenities of the British Isles "or any part there- of," but the functions of this "ap- proved organization" were confined to publicity outside these islands. London, however, could not bene- fit from these provisions, for the London County Council is. not a "local authority" as defined by the Act. The position consequently arises that while the boroughs with- in the L.C.C. area may levy a rate for foreign publicity, the collective rulers of Greater London cannot. A.

Purple, pink and blue, red, yellow and white blossoms bank- ed around a small pool mace one's optic nerves whirl, and the child clapped her hands wth delight. "Isn't it beautiful!" she cried. "Oh, mother, I wish we could have a garden like that." Her mother said nothing, but in- stinctively her eyes sought the house standing back stark and unadorned like a sacrificial parent who has put all she had on her child and stepped shabbily away from observation. A few listless bushes were grow- ing beside the porch as though some one in a spirit of pity bad remem- bered an alms. CONTRAST IN GARDENS "It is very exciting, isn't it," she answered finally. "Yes, color is a lovely thing. The only thing that seems to be left out is the house— and some green. There are too many flowers for leaves even." A few miles away was . another garden, larger, older and tradition- al. It had been so long on view it was almost forgotten. The child did not clap her hands as they entered through a wicket in a box hedge. Here was enclosed lawns with irregular borders, low walls and steps to different levels, a hundred varieties of shrubs, flow- ers laid down as though nature had put them there naturally, where they should belong. The only con- cession to formality was a long avenue of heliotrope so blue it seem - as though part of the sky had fallen, an accent note to. bring .out the soothing beauty of the place. Here and there a jet of water splashed softly from a well. "Let us sit on this stone bench under the evergreen trees. We won't talk—just look."

Cooking also attracted the Indian women, who stood in the doorway of Mrs. Maclean's kitchen to watch her use spices. Salt they had seen, but not pepper. Pie was something new to then, and when. she actually gave them a taste, their eyes rolled! But cooking was restricted in the early days.

Avoiding Worm Losses In Young Pigs Disease and worm infestation are common causes of death and an - thriftiness of young pigs. Some or the most common diseases of pigs,. as well as worm eggs are carried over from one season to another in the soil. On farms where pigs have 'been kept for a number of years, the soil in the vicinity of the buildings is likely to have become polluted by disease and the eggs from intestinal worms. The contact of young pigs with polluted soil is almost certain to result in infection by disease, es an infestation of intestinal worms, 'To avoid the dangers from such sour- ces, the sow and litter should be kept in clean, dry quarters while they are together, and the young pigs should be reared on ground that has not. been used for hog runs for at least two years. The application of these practiieal sanitary measures are ef- fective in reducing losses and un - thriftiness of young pigs dtte to dis- ease and worm infestation.

WASHINGTON, — Recent Com- merce Department figures disclosed that in the first year of repeal, Unit- ed ,States tourists increased their ex- penditures in. Canada and Mexico, former nearby oases. Total expendi- tures by United States tourists in 1934 were estimated at $314,000,000, compared with $292,000,000 in 1933. But while there was a $10,000,000 drop in the outlay overseas, tourists spent $19,000,000 more in Canada, and $13,000,000 more in Mexico than dur- ing the last year of prohibition. Amos E. Taylor, official who pre. pared the report, attributed an $11,- 000,000 'foreign tourist increase to a 22 per cent. jump in the number of Canadian motor cars entering the United States, and a 23 per cent. in- crease in the number of aliens ad- mitted "for business, pleasure and transit."'

Many letters recetnly have enquir- ed for some additional facts about Graphology and why it reveals character from handwriting. So in the next one or two articles, at least, I am going further into this angle.. When we receive a letter from a friend it is not necessary to open it in order to know from whom it comes. A glance at the writing on the envelope is usually sufficient. The style tells us at once who the writer is. We recognise the writer by his penmanship as readily as we would by his voice. This shows us very convincingly that there must be some sort of con- nection between the style of hand- writing and the personality of the writer. Another familiar evidence of this is the fact that no two persons write exactly alike, notwithstanding that hundreds of thousands of us learned to write from the same copybook and were taught to form our letters in precisely the same way. Now if handwriting bore no re- lationship to personality and was not influenced by, the character of the individual, we would all be writ - ting the beautiful Spencerian cop- per -plate we were taught at school. But as it is, not one in fifty thous- and writes in this manner five years after leaving school! Each one of us has modified the copybook style in accordance with his individual character. Each one has unconsciously adopted a style of writing that is best suited to his tastes and inclinations„ and has consequently given to it a distinct- ive character. Like speech or gestura.r writixlg. serves" 'as ra 7'. , m� ";s•itz " ofssjhought,' and' in exlfires' ng our thoughts we give expression tuft selves. When once the art of writing is learned we are no longer conscious. of the mental and manual effort re- quired to form the letters them- selves. It becomes, as it were, sec- ond nature to us. . It is plain, therefore, that+ ,a peel- son's handwriting is really it part of himself. It is an expression of 'his personality and is as characteristic of him ,as the way he walks or- , the tone of his voice. • Of course, the style of handwrit- ing does not in every case reriia•in the same throughout the life of a man or woman. A man at fifty may not write the same hand that he did when he was 18 or 20, and if" he lives to be 80 or 90 it will, in.' all, probability, show' further indicat- ions of change. This fact merely emphasizes the relationship between handwriting and personality; for 'it will always be found that where there is a change of style in a per- son's writing there is also a coy= responding change in the person himself. After all, there are few of ps who retain the same character, disposition and nature that we had in youth. • Experience and vicissitad- es • do much to modify our tempera- ments, and with such modifications come alterations in our handwriting, In some people the change in very slight, while in others it is very noticeable. It is only necessary to add the very careful and scientific investiga- tion has conclusively shown that th e, is a direct connection between the various features of a particular handwriting and the character off; the writer. It has clearly demon- strated that one's nature and dis- position may be accurately gauged by one's handwriting. Would YOU like to know the truth about yourself?

Detroit. — The $50,000,000 expan- sion program announced by General Motors Comporation runs up to well over $90,000,000 the comitmerits made or contemplated by the auto_ mobile industry for enlarging pro- duction facilities. Some of this huge sum has been . expended already in providing facili- ties that enabled the industry to pro- duce this year more cars and trucks than in any like period since 1930. The General Motors investment is largest of any thus far announced, Optimistic Outlook The Ford Motor Company several. months ago began letting contracts on a program of plant expansion in- volving approximately $27,000,000, a large part of it in extending its steel manufacturing facilities and the re- opening of a glass manufacturing plant. The Packard Motor Car Com. pony's investment against an expected steady 'ncrease in the demand for automobiles has to. tailed thus far $6,200,000, large- ly in production facil:ties for the new lower priced model. Bxpansion plans also have •boen announced, by the Chrysler Corpora. tion on behalf of two of its units — the Dodge division in an eularged truck producing plant and lho mouth division in the contemplated reopening of two plants in Evans- ville, Ind. For the remodelling or these buildings and other alteration work an outlay of $1,000,000 was pro. vided. • "I have learned from past experi- ence that the star of a motion pie- ture should not be burdened with the responsibilities of a producer also," ---.Mary Pickford.
