In the midst of the resentful fury that seized .Toyce at the nerve of the woman for mixing into her private affairs she could not help feeling ad- miration for Laurine's courage. She had thought of Frills as a dynamic being who would not for 'a moment have tolerated the rebuke or advice of such a complacent upholder of middle-aged conventionalities. She herself was speechless, who'.1y un- prepared, and no match for Laurine's methods of attack. It occurred to her, however, that this information of the second apartment might be used later in her handling of Mait- land, and she could not heep being a little grateful to Laraine for fur- nishing her with any weapon. with a deeicate skin still fine in tex- ture.

He stared at her with inch a sud- den keen searching look in his blue eyes that Joyce blushed deeper than ever. "Advice comes natural to a doctor, Frills," he went on.

Joyce wanted to add, "And an ap- ple a day keeps the doctor away," but she kept quiet, wondering how much longer Laraine would stick to this particular subject. Laurine chasged the subject. "Del- phine sent her love to you and hopes you're feeling quite reeevered from the accident, and Paul said to tell you he'd probably run in sometime today.

It was nearly an hour later when Mrs, Paul Packard rose from the marble bench. She had touched on a multitude -of subjects, ranging from the newest cold cream and its wonderful effects, to the details of the recent confinement of a Mrs. Wellman. The effect of this call on Joyce was a wearily annoyed feeling that she had suffered more than the net results in the way of enlightening facts were worth. "By the way, Delphine•told Inc that she saw Arthur Maitland one night having dinner at the Palace with what she called a 'jazz baby" in • a vermillion evening dress. • And 1 heard from somebody else, though I' won't repeat the name because if "Oh, that's all -eight.

Fired by this feeling, she went into the house to 'hunt for Sophie's ad- dress. But there was no Sophie in the little pigskin book. She had wandered •out onto the sunny sleeping porch still pondering Laurine's conversation, when site heaerd the rattle of a machine which sounded like a Ford driving into the grounds. She tan downstairs, out across the terrace and around to the i garage. Yes, there was Sam just getting down from the machine, and in his arms was a littlo black and white dog. "Here you • are, Mrs. Packard, the Marches were glad to get a home for Dickie," and he set the wriggling bunch down on the ground, and laughed as it strained at its leash. "011, thank you, Sam, he's a darl- ing!" exclaimed Joyce, stooping to pat the chunky little square head. Dickie wriggled as Sam released him from the leash and responded amiably to her patting but after a moment he looked about excitedly.' dashing away from her a few feet and barking sharply, then returning again. "What does he want, do you suppose, Sam?" asked Joyce, mysti- fied by this behaviour. "He's looking for a stick," ex- plained Sam, "Thats what you want, isn't it Dickie?" . Sam picked up a smooth round piece of wood, showed it to Dickie who ,jumped frantically for it, and then threw it as far as he could. Dickie dashed after it tumultuously Then he came romping back to San, who commanded, "Go take it to Mrs. Packard, Dickie, that's your lady now Go ,on, give it to Mrs. Packard." Dickie, his wide pink -lipped mouth nlamped tightly over his precious stick, rolled his exipressive brown eyes up at Sam in a speculative sort of way. Then he trailed and trotted over to Joyce. "There, that's enough stick for a whiee. You're all eut of breath, Come with ine, darling, and yet ac- quainted with your new home," said 'Joyce filially, "thank you, Sam, I'm ever so grateful to you for getting me such a perfectly .sweet dog as Dickie." There. was a' rook of puzzled sur- prise in Sain's face as he answered. Dickie came to her side and, resting his blunt ehin'with his queer, soft drooping lips en the edge of it, look- ed up at her pleadingly. She was delighted that lse accepted her so promptly;, and her spirits roue when she thought of having his compan- ionship. She felt less alone in an incredible world. With Dickie she need;' never pretend to he Frits Packard. When Roxie came to find her and announce that her luncheon was ready, Joyce was amused to .see the distrust with which she eyed the sleeping Dickie. She did not look surprised, and Joyce knew she had probably, with Marcia, been watch- ing the game of stick out in the gar- den. , Just as Joyce ?left the ,dining -room she beard the whir o fa motor out- side the door, and before she .could decide whether to retreat through the kitchen os make a dash for the stairs, two young women entered the house and greeted her loudly. "Hello, Frills, how are you?" "Say you don't look so bad!" (Continued Next Waek) DOINGS IN TIIE SCOUT WORLD AN EDITORIAL SUGGESTION No Police Required A "filler" news item mentioning a police force as one :of the Scout— operated features of the 1933 World Jamboree in Hungary has drawn a statement of arresting: significance from Dominion Headquarters of the Boy Scouts Association. This is the declaration that police are never re- quired at international Boy Scout gatherings, no matter how large. In` illustration reference is made to the gathering of 53,300 .Scouts from 73 different countries and parts of the llritish Empire at AiroWe Park Birkenhead, England, in 1929. The Birkenhead authorities, learning that this canvas city of youth would in- clude in its population thousands of lads from the recent enemy countries of the Great War—France, Germany, Belgium, Hungary, Russia, Poland, as well as Britain and . the United States—on opening day posted police at stratgetic points about the park, "to keep . the peace." By the end of the second day the last Bobby had been withdrawn. lBioyhood, as yet unspoiled by sus- pieion and hate, plus the •Socutcode of world brotherhood, hail nacre misunderstandings impossible. Friend- liness and confidence were taken for granted, without regard . to colour, race or laguage. A frequent scene. was a laughing group of boys, all of a different country, hands on one an- other's shoulders, joking and "talk- ing" vomehow with gestures and a polyglot invention of their own cal- led "Jamborese." At the end of the two weeks' camp one of the heads :of the Canadian Scout contingent, chatting with the police inspector of the area, inquired what he thought of the gathering. In accustomed - phraseology the inspector replied: "There wasn't a single case of crime or disturbance to report." Will these lads, when grown up, ignore the teachings of suspicion and hate, and continuo to meet in friend - Mimes and good will? Let us hope so, 11 could mean much to this suspicious old world.
