from all thought of war; drifting
idly from place to place, like we
used to."
Robin was not enthusiastic about
the proposed long tour with his
mother; he was not very keen about
anything.
Kitty began her life's devotion,
which she was offering in recom-
pense, by thoroughly antagonizing
him. After the strain of meeting the
family and the constant talking to
old friends he felt the need of quiet.
He liked to lie down and close his
eyes and relax in a kind of ectsasy
of exhaustion.
He had gone to the office in the
morning to see the staff, and he had
had iunch with his mother and two
women whom Kitty had met d'e'.'g
her wartime activities. She had
talked so much about Robin they
were impatient to meet him. He had
held himself on a firm leash while
they talked of their collections and
committees and all the work they
had accomplished.
After lunch he crept way into the
di:n drawing -room and flung himself
on a couch, his feet trailing over
the side, his head awkwardly placed
on a cushion. It was cool and quiet
here. A bowl of flowers sent a
fragrant message across the room; a
faint breeze stirred the curtain. In
the distance he could hear the dull
rumble of a shunting train. A bene-
ficent peace spread over him and all
the jangle their foolish conversation
had stirred died away.
He was growing drowsy when
Kitty tiptoed into the room and drew
the heavy curtains, lifted his feet
and placed them on a cushion and
wedged another cushion behind his
shoulder.
"Oh, for heaven's sake, Mother
can't you leave me alone? Let me
have a minute's peace," and he
sprang up and flung the cushions on
the floor.
"But, Robin, you looked so un-
comfortable that way, I only wanted
to—"
"I know; I'm sorry. But if you'd
only leave me alone for a while. I
can't stand all this fussing and the
talk of those silly women. , . ."
"But, dear, they are both very
nice, and did such splendid work dur-
ing the war. I thought you'd like to
meet them; they were simply dying
to see you. Now lie down again, and
I won't disturb you."
"I can't now. I'nm . . . I'm .
Oh, I don't know. . I think I'll
clear out for a walk."
"Kitty is wonderful," said Norah
with admiration.
"Kitty's a damn' fool, if you ask
me," said Miles. "If she would only
leave him alone and not coddle him.
She's making him worse, that's my
opinion."
Genevieve listened, but said noth-
ing. It was quite obvious that Kitty,
in her desire to help, was only re-
tarding his recovery. Sometimes,
when he came up tothe Terrace, he
seemed to be quivering with tense
emotion, like a frightened child. It
was usually after e quarrel with
Kitty, when her smothering had near-
ly suffocated him and her deliber-
ate soothing had spurred him to a
quick anger, and he rushed away. At
the end of an hour he quietened
clown.
"Like a ride?" Genevieve asked
casually. "Kelly has a couple of
hacks."
"I haven't been on a horse for
ages."
"One is a crock, but the other is
a bit fresh."
It was a challenge to him. Would
he dare to ride it?
"We could run out in the car to
the Hutt` and get an early start. I
like riding this weather; it's keen
and there's not much wind."
"I remember you always liked
riding on a frosty morning."
"I'll pick you up at eight tomor-
row. I think it's going to be fine."
Genevieve had assumed his ac-
ceptance. She did not plead; not one
word about it being good for him;
no sympathy; no poetic nonsense
about the beauty of the morning.
Either you felt these things, or
you didn't.
"I'm sorry you can't have Joxer,
he's mine," said Genevieve, as a
kicking young bay was saddled.
"I'll lend hire to you one day if
you're very civil."
It was sunset when the two riders
came in the gate.
"Where the devil have you two
been? I nearly sent the police out
to search for you horse thieves."
Kelly's greeting expressed relief.
"We went through the Kehutar-
awe George, and had lunch at
Waikanae."
Robin looked pale and was very
silent. After tea they motored back
to Wellington,
"What did you two talk about all
d'ay?" asked Peter. "I can never
get a word out of him,"
"Why fantails make fans of their
tails; wouldn't you like to know?"
said Genevieve evasively.

In The Garden
There is something in the orange -
tinted sunbeams that endows all Na-
ture with a soft radiance. There is
still much color in the garden, late
planted lilies and gladioli hold their
heads erect while the roses, if pos-
sible, are lovelier than in June,
Yet amid Autumn scenes, the
fresher tints of Spring flowers float
before the imagination— the bulbs
of the crocuses, anemones, hya-
cinths, scilla, aconites and snow-
drops require an early start, and
should be planted soon—and later
the tulips and daffodils, If desired
for the house, they can be grown
in pots, several of each kind to-
gether for the best effect. They
should soon be potted up and
"plunged" in coal ashes covering
them two or three inches, in order to
start root growth. Place in a dark
spot in the basement or elsewhere.
They must be watched lest the soil
gets too dry.
On a wet day or some spare even-
ing, prepare the labels for roots
that are to be stored over winter.
Gladioli may be lifted before the
leaves have yellowed. Labels should
be attached and plants removed to
some airy place to dry. Later soil
can be shaken from root, foliage
sterns removed with a sharp knife
and bulbs stored in paper bags. Dah-
lias, too, should be lifted. Tuberous -
rooted begonias, if carefully lifted,
will continue to bloom in the house.
Fuehias, geraniums and tub hy-
drangeas should be watched in case
of frosty nights.
To Bring Wild Life
Back To This Continent
A new attempt to save the wild life
of this continent from extinction is
now under way. The American Wild
Life Institute has been organized un..
der the presidency of Thomas H.
Beek, head of the Crowell Publishing
Company, State Commissioner of the
Connecticut Botu•cl of Tisaeries and
Game and chairman of President
Roosevelt's committee on Wild Life
Restoration.
In discussing the objects of the In-
stitute Mr. &eck said: "Conservation
has not been effective. What we need
is restoration. Formerly one could
hunt and fish 305 days in the year.
Now it is limited to thirty or sixty
days. The time limit has been de-
creasing and the bag has been getting
smaller and smaller. But so have the
mammals and the birds become few -
i er. Conservation isn't enough." A
lack of co-ordination, as well as of
fuds, is responsible, in Mr. Beck's
opinion, for time failure of conserva-
tion. "There will be no pussy -foot -
W Y liVONIN WORRY
BY A LONDON PHYSICIAN
"Think of the worry she's bad, no
wonder she is i11," is a remark one
often hears about women, and when
the doctor is consulted, for want of
a better terns, the word "neuras-
thenia" is used to cover a whole
group of symptoms where there is
no sign of organic disease.
And yet the patient may complain
of symptosis which could really be
caused by some disorder of some
organ or other.
Neurasthenia is that condition
where as a result of nervous ex-
haustion the mind and body are un-
able to carry out their work effi-
ciently,
It brings a whole train of com-
plaints in its wake, and it is dif-
ficult to treat successfully, principal-
ly because so much depends on the
patient herself.
The causes of nervous debility are
numerous. Many people are born
with a highly -strung temperament,
and on that account they are more
liable to crumple up when things are
not going well.
Of course, these people get a
good deal more out of life than their
more placid brothers and sisters.
THE WORRYING KIND
Everyone has ups and downs, but
the highly -strung has these in an
exaggerated form. If their ups are
hilarious, magnificent moments,
their downs reach the depths of de-
pression.
They are upset by incidents that
have no effect on the placid, and
they constantly complain of worry
Worry is not, of course, the cause
of the trouble, it is a symptom of it.
In these cases it is not a bit of use
telling them not to worry. It would
be just as helpful as telling some-
one who is sugeriug from toothache
to stop having pain.
No, the only way you can help is
by trying to point out that the cause
of the worry is not worth spending
a second's thought on.
You have to give them a new
view to persuade them that their
way of looking at things is the
wrong way.
All treatment in these nervous
cases should aim at getting rid of
the cause.
When the cause has gone, rest,
good food, and freedom from anxiety
will complete the cure.
Most of the depression which ac-
companies neurasthenia is due in
some degree to the loss of the sense
of self-respect. And these are dif-
ficult cases to treat. The patient
feels that she has fallen in her own
estimation. She has failed to come
ing about this," he said. "Game asri+p to her own standards of eifi-
crency. She may have been slighted.
wild life cannot be saved at dinners.
All these men have come with a good
right arm. They are willing to work
and to spend money for the cause."
The organization which ig to seek
a membership of $i0,00i?,000, will
raise money, promote legislation,
complete surveys and otherwise co-
ordinate the forces working in the
interest of bringing back to the
United States as well as to Canada
and Mexico, some of the abundant
wild life whic m once existed.

INFERIORITY COMPLEX
To restore a sense of self-respect
demands the greatest patience, for
the patient has always an exagger-
ated idea of her own worth.
Other cases occur where the in-
dividual suffers from what is known
as the inferiority complex. She is
shy in company and diffident about
expressing her views. She is really
afraid of what people will think of
her.
It is often sufficient to point out
that life is much too short and
hectic for most people to waste time
analysing their fellow creatures.
Those who suffer from this in-
feriority complex should realise
that if they wish to overcome it
the only way to do so is to pay less
attention to themselves.
An absorbing interest in life is
a great help in all cases of nervous
trouble of this kind, and that is why
a hobby of some sort is so often ad-
vised. It takes the patient's mind
away from herself and her ailments.
Th patient's greatest hope of a
cure lies within herself; outsiders
may help, but the effort must come
from the individual.—London Daily
Herald.

Yo Handwriting Tells YReal
araaractert
By GEOFFREY ST. CLAIR
(Graphologist)
All Rights Reserved.
I have been asked, if handwriting
shows character and abilities, how
is it that groups of people working in
the same line of business or profes-
sion do not all write alike? In other
words, why do not all doctors write
the same style, and artists and so
on.
The answer to this is simple. Even
all doctors, similar though their
work niay be, are not built alike —
they vary in mood, temper, alias-
acteristics—one doctor may be, a
quiet, retiring sort of man, whilst
another is an aggressive, abrupt type.
So these different characteristics ex-
press themselves in their writings,
and narked differences may be notic-
ed in their style. It is very true that
certain essential traits, may be found
similarly in the writing of most doc-
tors, as also with, say, artists—but
their general handwriting differs just
as their natures differ.
Same people say: "How can you
tell me what my character is from
my handwriting when I rarely write
the sante way twice? Sometimes I
write one way, the next time I write
in it different way, and so on."
Well, these people are usually ex-
aggerating when they say that they
never write the same way twice.
What they really mean to say is that
they frequentl.y vary their writing.
My answer to their objection is that
the very fact that they often vary
their writing itself is invariably true.
So that what they express as an ob-
jection to the accuracy of graphol-
ogy turns out to be merely a confirm-
ing gesture of the correctness of this
science.
It is really extraordinary how of-
ten the old cry arises: "Tell me my
future from my handwriting, please."
Now I realise just liow much people
do wish to know what the future
foretells. It is symptomatic of people'
in every age that they try and peer
behind the veil that hides our To
morrow from Today. And especially
so in these modern days, when se'
often the Future is so indistinct •---
especially today is there a keen and
passionate desire to know vomething
of the itiilden Future.
Graphology, however, deals with
character. We cannot foretell the
future from your handwriting. Graph-
ology CAN HELP YOU TO MOLD
YOUR FUTURE MORE EQUIT-
ABLY and help you to give
yourself a better chance, but it
cannot lay down any definite events
or happenings that to come to pass.
Your character is, as I have prev-
iously mentioned in these articles,
the foundation upon which your fu-
ture rests .. • and the stronger your
character, the better able you will
be to mould a more fortunate and
progressive future.

The trouble with women, Dr. Karen

delegates to the national convention
of business and professional wo-
men's clubs here is that they have:
1. "An over -valuation of love and
emotional relations.
2. "A complying attitude to men's
ideas and ideals of femininity.
3. "An age phobia with a subse-
quent waste of human values.
4. "An inferiority feeling as a

5. "Lack

A Tribute to
The Doctor
Dr. A. H. Browne of Coeh_ane,,
tramped fifteen smiles through the
bush to attend to an indigent patient.
It is quite an achievement, and one
that is not infrequent in the medical
fraternity. It was a good thing
that the Canadian Press carried this
story on its wire—it gave the writ-
er a start on what he was wanting
to do or the medical fraternity, a
much misunderstood profession.
It is surprising that so many peo-
ple sneer at doctors, and say that
all they care about "is the money
end of it." If a doctor's bookkeeper
could talk, he'd tell another story.
Yes, the doctor has a fine car. He
needs it, 1f he didn't he wouldn't
be able to answer your calls so
quickly. He has a nice home, sure—
and he keeps hours that would make
a union ran faint and a day labor-
er shudder. He gets out of town
for a holiday. Sure, and spends
half of it in a hospital or a clinic
studying weird and strange things
about ills that man is heir to.
Quite a sweet life, the doctor's,
eh? Try living in a doctor's home
for a month and you'll say: "You
can have your car and house and
businessman's holiday and worry and
lack of sleep. Me, 1'11 get a nice
job cracking rock."—Kirkland Lake
