Ellt was remaining in feng- lang to educate the two girls, so that Kelly would, at last, be master or Duffield, the paradise of his boyish dreams. He, would come to it now, a married man, not an ardent youth, scarred in battle, with many bitter experiences behind him; but with Maisie and his four children. How different He was nearly forty, with a touch of grey in his hair, and the tempo of his pulse was elower. His affections had an enduring quality, not the wild, reckless passion of those early years. He brought knowledge, an ampler vision. and a serene mood to the Planning of this new life.

All about Trentham and Here aunga were line homes with lovely gardeas, and the Home Foam was now toevalu- able to keep merely for grazing. Kel- ly proposed cutting it up for building sites, retaining the Homestead and Grannie's Garden, with an adequate acreage to preserve its privacy and selling the remainder. I: was Genevieve's idea that she and Robin should buy the Home- stead. Here, in this peaceful garden' and pleasant old house, Robin would get well. A car would take them swiftly to town and soon he would be able to work for a few hours each day. "No more law for me. I'rn through with it. I kept your job warm till you came back. Now you've got to get to work, I won't have a loafing husband around the house all day," and she laughed and ruffled his hair. He smiled wistfully; it hurt to see his effort at response, but Genevieve knew that he needed effort to brace lihn now more than ever. It would not be easy to win through, but it would. be worth while. "I've licked the frieze all right," she thought as the old Judge's re.. mark of long ago came back to her mind. Robin and Genevieve waved good- bye from the Homestead gate on a grey morning in August as the Kelly Pencarrows left for their new home Duffield. _ ee.,, -Mixatienceewip -e eer-ea re e.... eeee,,eoher were shrill with exciteinent. It. was something new. 'and new tleinga pro- mised adventure. • Tears misted Maisie's eyes as she turned to look at the kind old house, her first Teal home, squatting com- fortably among the trees. Her com- ing had thrust Genevieve from the place. Now, in her turn, she was leav- ing it to Genevieve. She would again be mistress here. "Not so fast, dear," and Maisie lightly touched Kelly's arm as he toot the curvee, of the Rimutaka, in reckless haste. A wind sprang up and drove the elords out to sea, leaving the sky a cear blue except on the hirizon. Spring was turning in its bed, like a sleeper waking. An early lamb was bleating on the hill. Duffield came in- to sight over a brow of the hill and Kelly slowed the car to see h stand- ing foursquare to the seasons, its screen of dark pines protecting the garden and the poplars he had plant- ed long ago leaning before the wind, "I hope Ella will sell out to me," ie said impulsively. "Is it wise to take on so much?" "I'll soon be able to pay it oft; wool's high and prices are good all round." "But will it last, dear?" asked Maisie cautiously. "Of course it will. And there won't be any more wars for a hell of a tme, believe me." "Be content. Kelly dear. Don't load yourself with too much.

More than half of them, 52 per cent., were engaged in service, 34 per cent. personal and 18 per cent. professional. Over 17 per cent. were in clerical work. Unmar- ried women in employment number- ed 535,144 and 61.335 widowed. or divorced. Employment of women had great- ly increased during the decade since 1921, when the total was 485,140, the gain being 36 per cent. There were fewer women in service in 1921, comparatively speaking, only 46 per cent. as against 52 in 1931, but 18 per cent. were in clerical work compared with 17 in 1931.

Studies of causes of invalidism have produced valuable results, but existing evidence gives no support to the statement made by surgeons and others that bus drivers are specially prone to gastric trouble. In order to settle the matter a spe- cial committee has been set up in association with the London Pas- senger Transport Board. The well-recognized risks of workers in dusty trades have been carefully studied; a new instrument has been constructed by means of which it is possible to take samples of air practically at the breaking point, i.e., the mouth and nose. It has been proved' that a stone- mason's exposure to dust may be three times as great on a calm as on a windy day. Preventive mea- sures have been suggested, includ- ing the wearing of "respirators," i.e., appliances resembling "gas masks." A Chain Of Smiles. Yet very little is known in England about Belgium. One knows what to expect from the Dutch: they are fat, clean, and grow flowers. •One knows what to expect from the French: they are, as the old lady said, "so French." But about the Belgians many things are surprising. In the first place, they are not ono nation, but two. There are two en- tirely different languages. South of a line running just below Ypres and Brussels the people are Walloons, and the language is French. North of, that line the people are Flemings, and the language is Flemish — which is more like Dutch than anything else. Belgium has been a self-govern- ing nation for n -o more than a cent- ury; it was not until 1830 that she became an independent state. SHE IS AN EMPIRE Secondly, Belgiuin is not, as one might expect from her size, an agri- cultural country; she is in proportion to her population- the most highly industrialized country in the world. Like South. Lancashire and the West Riding, she is a country of towns, and lives by exporting manufacture(' goods. Thirdly, Belgium is more tphan. a kingdom; she is an empire. Actually she is the fourth colonial power in the world. There are only about 8,- 000,000 people in Belgium, but there are over 9,000,000 natives In the Con- go who are Belgium subjects. The Belgians are intensely proud of their erapire. Not very long ago they had nothing to be proud of; King Leo- pold II oppressed and. exploited the natives Mee scandalous fashion.

From the outset of this series of articles on Qnaracter from Hand- writing, I have endeavoured to deal with the technicalities of the science only enough to reinforce the evid- ence presented by the various per- sonal analyses that I ani giving. Ih has been my aim to deal almost entirely with the human angle of Graphology. To show you, more by actual practice, what Graphology has to offer, rather than by exhaustive, and sometimes exhausting technical 'discussions. It appears to me that Graphology today needs no extensive or elabor- ate defence. There are, I have .no doubt, still some sceptics—thOse who refuse to believe that handwriting CAN tell anything of character—but, to be quite frank, in the course of a long practice.of the science, and atter receiving many thousands of letters from coast to coast, through nay newspaper articles and my radio broadcasts, I have only come across one or two out-and-out doubters. And it has been my pleasure to con- vert most, if not all, of these. Graphology has so much to offer to those who are earnestly desirous of finding the real truth d their characters and also 'o those who are anxious to Butt what their friends are really like. It tells your weak points, and shows you how to strengthen them; it points out faults, thus pav- ing the way for you to discourage and finally eliminate them. And it also uncovers characteristics that you could cultivate to your advant- age, to the end that you will be hap- pier and more successful in your en- deavours. And one of les most vital missions is to delineate the characters of your friend; so that you will know teem better and understand them. Much of the misunderstanding and even, the quarrels that create havoc in many friendships, could be elinainate' ed, if people but knew and under -:,4,e" 4- e stood one another. In a letter I received recently, IV young lady who lives in Northern, Ontario said; "Isn't it funny that we should pay in order ao learn things about ourselves that we ,'already know — but suppose, after ail, we don't really know ourselves thorough- ly, because we are tempted to think ourselves as we woiild like to be— and that isn't always just the. same thing, is it?" However, even if that were all that Graphology did, it would still be worthwhile, for many of us, even thougii we know our faults, refuse to, face dimcourageusly, and the ad- vice of an unbiassed outsider often acts as a spur to us . . Actually, however, Graphology in almost every. case uncovers characteristics that' we fail to realise ourselves. That. this is so is proved by the many let- ters, to this effect, that I have re..! ceived. Future articles will continue this discussion. * * * Can Mr. St. Clair help YYOU as' he has helped so many of our read- ers?

He may well resolve to pursue in safety the investigations that are the inevitable and important aftermath of his achievement. — Montreal F.tar. Root vegetables, such as beets, carrots and parsnips, may be pre- served during the entire winter in a perfect state by keeping them packed in dry sand. The sand snould be placed in boxes or barrels in a dry, cool part of the cellar or store room, in layers alternating with Myers of vegetables, until the re- ceptacle is full. From this storage the vegetables may be dug out as required. Why any one should go to the trouble of canning beets when they will keep perfectly well all winter in sand, and are fully as palatable when cooked, is a mystery. Some members of the Women's In- stitutes, in their study of economic- al ways of cooking and of time sav- ing, have discovered this fact about vegetables, and are passing it on for general use. . Mrs. Grundy Holds The Spanish Fort Madrid—Mrs. Grundy has , ap- parently found her way to Spain. At least, the well known Spanishstage and film star, Ernesto Vilches, thinks so.

It was "line of those Costumes where the leg goes almost as far down as the knee. Apparently it was a little too much for the attendant who ordered Vil- ches, out, as his costume was against, the new regulations which have been isetted. What the new regulations are like can' be judged from the fact that they forbid sun-bathing except when clad in a dressing gown!.

All breeding ewes should have sound 'udders.
