Her tea was 'brought and she ate and ilrfiltauk.egong 'boomed. She heard her imishand's voice at her door, 'bat elle made no answer. Later she heard Thee dash downstairs. • "Oh, Thea, will you ever be in time for anything?" she wondered wearily. Then' quietly she rose, and in her noiseless slippers made her, way to the drawing room. She turned on a light and moved stead- ily to the case in which lay the miniatures, opened it .and took from it the double .pearl -set frame. For some minutes she stood looking at the white oval face, the red lips, the dark eyes and brows, the waving, glowing hair of Lady With a sigh she laid, the picture in its place and again made her way to the door, opened it and turned off the light. A footman came out of the dining room, and through the open door she heard Thea's voice. The footman shut the door and departed, towards the kitchen; and as he went, thinking thimself un- observed, his natural boyishness broke through the outer shell of fcibtmatt, and he danced, with agile, absurd contortions of his long legs.. At half -past six the next day a blinking maid, wrapped in her dressing -gown, knocked at her mis- tress's door. Jean was sleeping heavily. The Maid advanced and laid her hand on her arm. "If you please, ma'am." Jean stirred. "There is an urgent message by telephone, ma'am; they've been trying to get through before." Jean did not move—she has only let for an hour or two and her brain was utterly weary. "It's—it's Lady Hanover, ma'am —She was taken ill in the night, and they'd be glad of you." Four hours later Jean was by he bedside of her mother. The kind, energetic, bustling woman lay unconscious, restless and muttering, and then for long eriods silent and still. The dos - or came and went, a day and a ight nurse were in charge of the ase. The night nurse was Scotch, lump and kindly; the, day nurse (meg, genteel, but capable. For two long days and two long ights Jean lived, eating, sleeping, sitting by her mother, writing in- umerable letters to members of he family. To Ivor, sincerely attached to is mother-in-law, and who wished o join his wife, she wrote: "I think" it would be better that ou should not come. This little ouse is very full—we have two urses—and you can do nothing. f there is any change I will tele - hone. Do not think that I do not ealize and •appreciate your love or my mother, dear Ivor, but she knows no one. It was late In the afternoon and can sat with a writing pad upon er knee. The nurse in the dress - ng room was occupied in crochet - ng an intricate pattern in white otton. Suddenly Lady Hanover moved ad opened her eyes. "Jean," she said. She showed no surpiise at the ight of her daughter. "I've been here a long time. eel better. I think I shall get up o -morrow." Then her eyes closed again and he seemed to sleep. Later she oke again. "So tiresome," she said quite riskly, "just when you're going to resent Thea." "What, dear?" asked led. "If I died," said her mother in uch the same tone as if she had aid "if 1 go to the Stores."

I will come bac when I have put on my 41ressing- gOtra," The nurse retired to the dre.ss- ing-rooni, Molt off her collar, ar- ranged her tea-tray to her liking and settled down to her °sauna, tions. Jean returned and lay upon the sofa, thinking. She shrank terribly from the thought of Ivor's illegitimate child —yet could •there be any doubt that this Gladys Barnet was his child? She appeared to be two or three years older than Thea. What had the 'girl said, about a step- father? Had Ivor loved the another of this child? Did he .perhaps still love her? Jean put the thought away from her. Whatever the sins of Iyor's youth, she knew instinctively that he still loved her, •the wife who had repulsed him, had tried to en dure his affection, had chilled his lave and saddened his, early man- hood, and who now in the end had come to love him. "Oh," cried the poor woman, "was it all my fault? I did, my best. How can a young girl, train- ed as I was trained, understand? God knows, for me it is hard en- ough to understand even now. All our lives girls such as I are guard- ed from evil of mind and evil of body. The woman who is impure is a black Shadow, a thing of shame and horror. And then sud- denly comes the awakening. Men anust live men's lives! There must be women to minister to their wants! The weakness of human nature! The woman with whom we cline, in whose house we are a guest, is it possible that she— that pretty child—its father? The p^inted woman of the street— All this we must learn and know- ing, ignore; pick up the pieces of our broken faith and fit them to- gether as best we may—" The woman on the bed moved restlessly. Jean left her sofa. "Do you want anything, Mam- ma?" She sat down by the bedside- and took her mother's hand. Presently Lady Hanover stirred again and her band grasped Jean's. She opened her eyes once more. "She was such a pretty baby," she said, "such a darling little thing." Jean bent over her again, think- ing she was wandering. "Yes, you were, Jean, lovely. Hugh was rather like you, but not so pretty. Jean, I have thought sometimes that things were better for you. You and Ivor. I should, go more happily if that was so." "Oh, Mamma, Mamma," sobbed Jean, "don't say it. You aren't going to—leave me? Oh, Mamma, don't!" "Team" said the old woman— and she spoke strongly and clear- ly—"death has to come to us all in time, and we don't make a fuss about it. But you are stiU young and I want you to be happy, and you must make Ivor happy too. It's been hard, for you both, very hard. Age brings understanding, child, and happiness comes from what we give. Don't be so rigid, Jean. And about Thea, she's a dif- ficult girl, but 'perhaps we haven't understood her. I'm afraid she knew I didn't like her. I've left each of the children fifty pounds, Jean, to do what they like with. What's that?" The nurse had approached. "I don't want. anything, thank you." "It's time for your medicine. Ytu'll just take that before you go to sleep." • Lady Hanover drank. "Help me to turn over, please. Goo& -night)' "Wouldn't you like to go to bed now?" the nurse inquired of Jean. "No, I would rather stay." Early that morning Lady Han- over spoke again. "Such a pretty baby," she eaid, "her hair was all in little curls. NOTICE !

World Supplies of Food Improve In making an appraisal of the world food situation in April, 19,49, the Food and Agricultural 'Organ- ization reports that world food production and supplies in 1948-49 were materially higher than in the previous, year, and the grain sur- plus the highest since 1930,31. Pro- duction in North America and Eur- ope exceeded expectations, but the increase in the Far East was some- what below expectations3principal- ly because of disturbed political conditions. • A number of important develop- ments during 1948-49 afford gen- eral evidence of a turn for the better, ,Chief among these was the discontinuance of international al- locations of all foodstliffs, except rice, though for other important commodities like cereals and fats a close watch is ,maintainedwith the possibility of resuming Aloca- tions should the situatien, deterio- rate. Rationing of bread has been discontinued in most countries, and there is cons.ideraple relaxation of other food rations throughout most of Europe. Larger supplies of wheat, sugar and other foods have been reflected in a further fall ia world prices. Larger food supplies have eased inflationary pressure, restored confidence in the currency in countries like France, Austria, and Siam, and diminished black market activities. In India, how- ever, says the report, food controls, were partly discontinued early in 1948 but had to be reimposed later owing to floods in some areas and severe drought in others. The benefit of the increase in food supplies has been felt mainly in Europe, where supplies per per- son have probably increased by about 10 per cent compared with the previous year. However, con- sum6tion, of fats and of animal products such as meat and milk has improved only slightly and is still substantially below pre-war. It grew straight later. You were an obstinate little thing, Jean." "Was I, Mamma?" Later she sighed two or three times. Jean sat holding her hand, while a cold light crept in under the blinds. But her mother never spoke again. It was the day of Lady Han- over's death, and Jean and Ivor were sitting at dinner. At the news of her mother's death Ivor had joined his wife in Chesham Place. There were many arrange- ments to be made, many letters to be written. Lady Hanover had ev- er been a good friend to Ivor, and he mourned her sin-cerely. Throughout the day he was haunt- ed by the idea that it was sad that she could not be there to en- joy making the arrangements for her own funeral. It was just on such an occasion as,this that the capable, practical, bustling aid lady was in her element, and it seemed unkind that she should be denied the satisfaction of arrang- ing lier own obsequies. Jean look- ed very worn and fragile, but she was as ever calm and sensible. The silent melancholy meal came to an end. "Are you going to smoke in the library, Ivor? Shall 1 come too?" Ivor looked up quickly. "Yes, do," he said. Jean sat down by the fire. It was a chilly spring night and the logs burnt briskly. Ivor lit his cigar and stood for a moment looking at Jean. She rose and came towards her bus band. "Ivor," she said in a very low vcice, "you have been very good to me, and to my mother — my mother." Her composure failed her. Ivor put h,,is arms round her, "Poor girl," he said, "my poor girl." "Oh, Ivor," she wept, "do you still love me—do you?. There is no one left to me but you." In her sorrow and her loneliness Jean's heart went out to her hus- band. She put her head down on his shoulder and his face was pressed against hers. Into her brain there flashed the thought of the other woman and her child. In Jean't heart was pity for them —a horror of that side of life for which their existence stood, jeal busy and a greater fear of loneli- ness. Life was 8o incomprehens- ible, and yet underneath there was that aching need for com,panion- ship, for love and understanding. Suddenly she felt that she could struggle no longer. Men were as they were—life was as it was. Perhaps, it was not affair of hers. Perhaps, as her mother had said, happiness comes from what one gives. Desolated by grief, her shill wrappings of reserve fell from her. "Try and love me again," she begged. "Try to believe that I could not help it: I seem all my life to have been frozen, to have frozen all who come near me. You don't know how I have suffered, how I have prayed; I felt some- times that God, had forsaken me. Inside my heart I think I loved; you. I loved my boys, my mother, but only to her and not even al- ways to her could I show my real self. And yet 'how' could I be wrong to loathe sin, to long so Much for good? God help such wo- men as T." (Continued Next Week) Mr. G. L. Parsons, President o. The Goderich Elevator and Transn Co., Limited, Goderich, Ontario, z. pleased to announce the'appointment of Mr. R.

FROZEN FOODS GAIN ,._ IN POPULARITY Freezing preserves the ,flavour and natural characteristics of a large number of foods, says A. W. Moyls, Fruit and Vegetable Pro- ducts Laboratory, Dominion Exper- imental Station, Summerland, B.C. Strawberries. raspberries, peaches, peas, corn, broccoli, spinach and laparagus are examples af fruits and vegetables that freeze very succeasfully. On the other hand, freezing of celery, lettuce, cucum- bers, radishes, pears and water- melons has, so far been unsatis- factory. It should be pointed, out, too, that Certain varieties of the same fruit or vegetable are more adaptable to freezing than others. In addition the quality in the froz- en product depends not only upon the type and quality of the raw material, but also upon th,e method of freezing, pre-treatment, packag- ing, type of storage, length of stor- age, and care in handling until it reaches the consumer's table. Spoilage changes in thawed froz- en toods are similar to those tak- ing place in the fresh product, but proceed at a very much faster rate. Many consumers do not appreciate this fact, believing that frozen pro- ducts, like canned foods, will keep indefinitely in the impelled, con- tainer, This is not so. Frozen foods are not sterile. They should be used preferably •before4thawing is complete. Food iis the frozen state is sub- ject to dehydration unless covered with a film of ice or oil, or pack- aged in tin or other moisture -va- pour -proof containers. Changes caused by the presence of oxygen may also occur. The effect of this oxidative process may be lessened by the use of air -tight packages. In some instances the addition of sug- ar or an anti -oxidant such as as- corbic acid, to fruit packs, has de- cidedly beneficial effects on color and flavor. To retain desirable col- or, flavor and texture in vegetables it 18 essential that they be prop- erly blanched (scalded) in boiling water or steam before cooling, packaging and freezing. This pre- liminary treatment is necessary to prevent undesirable changes which may otherwise take place in the frozen vegetables. Some foods may be stored long- er than others, but there should be THE McKILLOP MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO'Y. HEAD OFFICE—SEAFORTH, Ont OFFICERS: Frank McGregor, Clinton - Pres Chris.
