Mrs. Blanirhasset'a• frizzly grey hair was tied up with a yellow ribbon, and the result caused the irreproachable Mr. Oorteoue to gaze at her through his eyeglass with a petrified ex- pression. "How tiresome, Thea is," said Jean in a low tone to her :mother. "She really might have been punt tual tonight." She turned before Lady H•anovei could reply to welcome a newcom- er, a tall man, still young, splen- didly made, with bronzed clean. shaven face and densely" black hair. We are so pleased to meet you. My husband has been so unfortun- ate in missing .you," said Jean. "I must make you known to some of your neighbors. Mamma, this is Sir Simeon Lister, who has taken Hurstleas. Oh, there is Thea at last. "And she is worth waiting for," thought Sir Simeon Lister to him- self. Thea was dressed in white, something soft and filmy, which showed all the graceful lines of her fine lithe body. Her glowing copper -colored hair was wound round her head and clasped by her father's gift—the fillet of gleaming green enamelled leaves. Exelte- ment had made the girl's face ev- en paler than usual, and her grey eyes burned. There was something extraorrdinarily alive about her, which drew the eyes• of all the men, while fora moment' •the other women in the room seemed to have become uninteresting dolls.

"I shall model him," thought Thea. "l• wish I could' get shim to sit for me without anyone know - tugs, She looked across ati him, end their eyes met. An ode still feel- ing at' intense exeitemeut came over the girl. Later that evening when, Lady Hat over, Colonel Spender, Mrs. Hans -Forder and Jean shad) settled down to their game of bridge, the rest of the party moved into the large hall. The chairs and sofas had been pushed ,back, and Ivor set the piano -player going. "I don't think you know my daughter," he said. Sir Simeon •bowed and Thea looked at him straightly. "Will you dance with me?" be asked. "Yes," said the girl, and then she was in his arms. Even the brilliant, soulless play- ing of the piano -player could not spoil that dance. Thea ceased. to tbink, to know—the world became nothing but one keen sense of movement and delight. When the music stopped neither she nor ner partner spoke. He moved; to a. sofa which had been .pushed into a dimly lit corridor. Thea seek un- to a corner of it and shut her eyes. "Oh!" she said.after a moment, "that was—was—what was it?" "It was being alive," said the n• an. "Do you .feel that too—like me— t)et half one's life is wasted ;a being dead? One moves about and does things, and they none of them matter, and then suddenly something happens and one's alive! I don't want to waste my life: I want to be alive all the time." "You're very young. Some dee you will be thankful even for an hour of life." Thea opened her eyes. What kind of a man was this? One quite outside her limited experi- ence. Hitherto Thea had found that she had an exciting effect up- on the few men she had met. This, man excited her. "Thankful for an hour of life," she repeated. "But why? You who are a man—able to go your own way --surely you can live?" He did not answer and she went on. "You don't know what it is to be a girl. I sometimes feel as if I was packed in a parcel—neatly done up in stiff brown paper and tied with yards of string. 'Not nice for a young girl."Girls can't do this.' 'Girls can't do that.' But girls are human beings, though no one seems to think so." "Are they?" asked her partner. "I don't know much about—girls." "Don't you? I should have thought women--" Sir Simeon smiled. "I said `girls'." "Oh," cried Thea, "don't be stupid like all the others. Girls are women, just the same." "Are they?" asked the man again. "Thea." It was her mother's voice. Thea sat up, the soft, enchant- ing face set into a vicious scowl. "You see," she said, "I was alive and then they make me dead again." "Will you dance with me later " "Yes." The girl moved towards her mother. "Thea," said Jean in a low tone, 'what are you thinking of? Do please come and look alter your guests --Maud Spender is not danc- ing." Twice again did she and Sir Simeon dance and then he said: "I want to say good night to you alone." He guided. Thea down the corri- dor, past the gun -room and into the arch of a door which led into the garden. The glass panels were unshut- tered, and the moon shone through. 'the wind ,,moon still blow- ing strongly, and dense clouds whirled along. For a moment it was dark, then the moon shone out again. rhea's face looked) myster- ious and lovely in the white light. "I wonder if you would under- stand if I asked you to kiss me?" said the .man. Then looked at him earnestly— her face was oddly childlike. For a moment she made no an- swer, but turned and stood) look- ing out into the night. There came a fierce swirl of wind, and away in the distance a dog howled. With a little shudder the girl leaned towards the man, and he took her in his arms and kissed her. CHAP'r.jR XII A day in town with her mother wasa penance both to Jean and Thea, which they were called up- on to endure from time to time. This morning, as venal, Jean was waiting in the hall, outwardly becoming, more and more calm and inwardly more annoyed. Ivor walk- ed up and down, worried by his wife's annoyance as much as by his daughter's unpunctuality. The motor was at the door, the butler and footman in waiting. 'thea dashed down the stairs. "Oh, bother," she exclaimed, and rushed up again. "If you are really ready, Thea," said her mother coldly, as she re- appeared, "we had 'better start. I doubt as• it is if we shell catch the 9.57. Have you the eattaer'n of satin for your shoes?" Thea rummaged in her purse. "Yes—no—I thought I put ft do —Oh, never mind, Mother, I can remember near enough. Jean sat down again. by ottaw; observer. `. Prime Minister Louis S. Laurent; at Chicoutimi, Quebec, remind'ed,;a large enthusiastic audience, that. the Liberal party has "one policy for all the provinces, and -in both languages." The Liberal party was the only ene to have leaders from both French and English speaking rac- es. As he saw it, "this is, an ex- ample that the other political •par ties ought to follow. That is why e are the only truly national par- ty in Canada." A typical day in Quebec, during his "meeting-as-manyeanadian.seis possible" trip, found the Prime Minister lunching with Hon. Chas. G. Power at St. Pacome, having tea at Montmagny, and talking in eight different places,. Before he left the Maritimes, he announced the Liberal program in a trans -Canada radio address. Highlights. were full employment, social security for ali, expansion of trade, and a Dominion-Provin- cial ominion-Provincial conference which would work out amendments to the constitu- tion. "Under a .Liberal government, Canada has won a. high place amcvg the nations of the world, Our people have shown they were the equal of any others at any task." - Observers in Quebec note the uncertain line taken by the Union Nationale in the general election campaign. The impression is gain- ing aining ground that the people of Que- bec stand with St. Laurent. En- thusiastic meetings and huge friendly crowds greet the Prime Minister wherever he goes. No Nonsense About It Finance Minister Douglas Abbott squashed claims that the budget meant nothing because Parliament did not have time to ,pass it. Income taxes had been lowered, he pointed out. Soft drinks, choco- late bars and jewellery taxes were off. This was in line with the age- old practice of Parliament "I don't think the people of Can- ada believe nonsense," said Mr. Abbott. Trade Figures of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics showed that Great Britain's adverse balance of trade. is easing up. In March the imports: from Bri- tain were $28,343,000. A year he - fore they were 33 per cent leas. Canada still retained its balance of credit with Britain, but it was "James, go and ask Nurse if Miss Thea left a small piece of blue satin in her room." "What does it niatter? I can choose the shoes and send a pat- tern for the calor." The footman returned with a scrap of blue satin, ands three thor- oughly irritated people bestowed themselves in the motor. Jean had a way of remaining ab- solutely silent when angered, which made Ivor fidget and filled Thea with fury. Now she say back in her corner and looked out of the window, while Ivor fussed with the window -sash, said "damn" un- der his breath, and grieved, as he had often grieved before, at the terrible antagonism which- existed between mother and child.
