SYNOPSIS Pauline, sentimental, trustful, sin- cere and loving love, becomes engag- ed and marries Dennis O'Hara in the belief that .their blissful happiness will continued unchanged thru all the years. On her wedding morning she. awakens with .a strange premonition that maybe love does change, a thought buried in her mind by a let- ter from her closest friend, Barbara, the night before. Pauline adored Barbara who had been married, was the mother of a child which died, but now divorced and living a life.which some of her friends could not under- stand. Between Dennis and Barbara is a seeming wall of personal dislike by both. Six months after Pauline's wedding, Barbara comes for a short stay. During this visit Barbara con- fesses to Pauline that there is a man she really loves, but re refuses to tell his name. Barbara decides suddenly of go home and Pauline insists Den- nis, driver her to the station. Irri- tated Dennis drives recklessly, and they are in a crash. Barbara esacpes injury but Dennis' leg is broken. As he returns to consciousness he learns who the man is that Barbara loves. It's himself. Dennis spend ,several weeks in the hospital. Barbara returns to stay with Pauline, but one pretext or an- other fails to visit Dennis with Paul- ine at the hospital. Pauline plans. highly for Dennis' return home. Barbara stays only one day after Dennis' return from the "hospital. Much against his will Dennis finds a new attraction in Barbara, who plays the same cool and attached role as formerly. A fortnight after Barbara returns to New York, she receives a letter from. Pauline that she and Dennis are coming, to New York for a little vacation. Upon their arrival a. round of gay entertainment gets under way —throwing Dennis and Pauline much into each other's company. Dennis is in love with Barbara. Hr: breaks thru. all barriers and tells her of his love. Pauline is called home by the illness of her mother. Dennis stays on. Barbara is happy. Both fight against love -but it's overpow- ering.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Dennis was silent for a moment, then he said, the blood deepening in his face, "I want to saythat, if it would not hurt Pauline terribly, I hope she would -let me go." "And you have been married only a few months," said Barbara. "It doesn't take as long as a few months to discover a mistake." "I think life is horrible," she said fiercely. "It's horrible because we know we mustn't do the thing we want to do," Dennis agreed hoarsely. "Because there is a co -called code of honour that says a man and a woman shall stick' together no matter how much they hate each other." Barbara cried out: "You couldn't 'hate her. Nobody could." "No, no, I didn't mean that. She's one of the best —sweetest—" There was a long silence; then Barbara said suddenly "When we say good-bye after this lunch, Dennis, it is to be good-bye." His. face flushed and his ' lips sneered. "For Pauline's sake, or for mine, or for your own?" he asked, Sudden tears started to her eyes. "The world is upside down,"' she said tremulously. "Only the other night I told .Jerry Barnet that it was the end of romance when a man call- ed a woman '`my dear,' but now that you've said it it seems to me like the very beginning." "The beginning of a love that will never end, Barbara." She drew her hand away. "We're talking; like a sentimental boy and girl," she said. "Ask for the bill, and let us go." It was raining a little ` when they left. "I'll take a taxi —_ don't wait," Bar- bara said. "Do you imagine we are going to say good-bye like this?" "Why not? It's as good a way as any." "Not good enough for me." The concierge had fetched a taxi, and Dennis and Barbara drove away together. "I've never seen your home," Den- nis said suddenly. "I've often tried to picture where you live.." "It's very unromantic." "It wouldn't be to me. Let me come to your home, Barbara, just once." There's whiskey on the sideboard, and cigarettes; Mix me a whiskey, please." She sat down in one of . the big velvet chairs and leaned her head back, watching him with grave eyes. He looked so at Home there in her sitting room, in spite of his tweed suit, which was oddly at variance with his surroundings; he looked: somehow as if he belonged, she thought, and a little shiver of joy shook her as she realized how won- derful it would be if it wa sreally his home as well as hers, if they had the right toshut the door onthe world and be happy. Unconsciously her eyes misted over as she looked at him. So dear! so beloved, but the husband of an- other woman. Dennis came back' with two whis- kies. Barbara rose to her feet. "I- want to talk to you. No—stay there at a nice respectable distance, please." She moved close to the fire and held her hands to its warmth. Barbara had beautiful hands, slender, and white and suddenly Dennis "Then Dennis bent and kissed her lips." "You won't be the first, Dennis. Jerry •Barnet often comes." "It makes no difference." "Very well, your blood be on your own head." But her heart beat with a happi- ness that was yet half pain. It would be something to know he had once. been in the rooms where she had dreamed of him so often; something to remember when all this foolish- ness was at an end. "You'll hate it," she told him as they went up in the lift to her flat. "It's like me—as you thought I was when you first knew me." She open- ed the door with her key. He followed her into the sitting room, and Barbara stirred the fire in- to a blaze and looked around her with critical eyes. Hitherto she had been rather proud of her flat, . with its queer coloring and very modern lighting, but today she felt vaguely dissatisfied with it. She knew quite well why she felt dis- satisfied. It was the presence of Dennis O'Hara that made her choice of furniture and fittings look towdry and bizarre. Dennis himself was so wholesome, so clean, There was no- thing artificial or pretentious about him; he had come into her life like a fresh breeze into a stuffy, 'scented room, with which she knew she would never again be satisfied. She sighed again and carne back to the fire. "Take off your coat, won't you? found himself contrasting them with Pauline's. Barbara went on after a moment in a brisk, unemotional voice. "All this nonsense has to stop, Dennis, you know that." She looked round at him and .quickly away again. "We're behaving like—like a couple of rotters. There's Pauline." She paused, but he did not speak, and she went on: "Are you going to break her heart?" Dennis said "If it is a question of her heart or yours—" ever change it even if—if as you say —it's got to end. 'Well?" he queried, her head down on his shoulder, "Love tape, love mel Please love me," she said wildly. At that moment he was far more to her than just the man she would have married if he had been free; he was all the different loves of life that, had never been hers, father, mother, lover, child everything. He held her very gently, his face against •her 'hair, speaking •words of which he had never believed himself capable.. So often had he told. Paul- ine that he could not "talk like 'a poetry book" and that she must "take his love for granted. Poor little Pauline, who, although she was his wife, had never been his love, And' then Barbara gently disengag- ed herself. "I'm sorry, it's your fault. I've never been such a weak idiot before," The tears were streaming down her face,and though she tried to brush them away they, still fell. "If I'd met you years ago, Dennis; I, might have been quite ' a nice woman," she said sobbing. "And, oh, look at your coat all wet with my tears. Let me wipe them away.,, `` But he held her wrists,.prefientin g her. "No,let them b'e, they are mine, anyway," he said; then he kissed her hands, the palm of each, and let her go. "And all this doesn't help us or tell us what to do," he said ruefully. Barbara laughed shakily. "We, don't need to be told—we know already. You're married to one of the sweet- est girls in the world, who adores you and I—though I've got the reputation. of being a husband stealer, somehow I can't steal you, Dennis. Perhaps it's one decent streak in my nature coming to the top at last, I don't. know, 1 can't understand myself.. rm not given to decent actions. I'm fond of her, but not 'fond enough to wear a martyr's crown for her sake," She was standing by the fire again now, her arm resting on the mantel shelf, her eyes bent . on the leaping flames. "It must be because I' love you _ so much," she said, after a mo- ment. ."You know, the sort of thing you read about in books. She loved him too well to spoil his life sort of thing," she said cynically; then sud- denly her head went down on her arm. "Why need this have happened to me—why need it have happened to me.! I've never been given any hap- piness; all my life everything's gone wrong." Dennis; watched her Silently; his arms ached with their longing to hold her, but he was afraid. Barbara spoke suddenly: "You'd better go, Dennis. There's nothing more to say, and it's getting late. You've got to dine with Dr. Storn- way, you know." "I can put him off." She, cut in harshly.. "Mine isn't the kind that breaks—you've only got to look at 1ne to see that." She dared not look at him as she spoke, but she could have laughed at the con- trast between her carelessly spoken words and the stark desolation in her heart. "If he would only speak -only say something," she told her- self in despair. Andthen she heard him move, and she felt his hands on her shoulders, gently turning her to him, and she raised her eyes slowly, slowly, till they niet his. There was a little sil- ence, then Dennis bent and kissed her lips. "If this is what you call trying to play the game, Barbara, don't try any more, .I know you, and I know that you belong to nie as , much . as I belong to you, and that nothing will as -she did not speak.. Barbara's lips moved, but no words carie; Then quite suddenly she put "Nonsense." She turned and faced him bravely. "I look a sight, don't, I? Women always do when they've been crying, and that's why they cry when there's nobody to see — I cry torrential tears at night." He took her in his arms and kissed her. "Some day—,--" he said hoarse- ly, but she would not let him finish, she laid a hand on his lips, silencing him, and at that moment therewas a sudden knock , at+ the front door. Barbara gently, disengaged herself. "I expect it's Mellish. I'll let her in." She gave a hurried glance in the. mirror. "I look a sight, but she wont notice." She turned to go, then came back and put her arms round his neck and kissed him, but then, when she would have gone, he held her and kissed her many times, and Barbara said breathlessly, "Do you remember the story of the plain princess who only looked beautiful when the man she loved kissed her, and so she always looked beautiful to him? Well, I think that must be rme," and then, as the knock was repeated, she went swiftly away, and Dennis mechanically light- ed a cigarette and walked over to the window.

MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE .INSURANCE COMPANIES. IN CANADA "I'LL .DIE FIRST" "I tried to work it off" was the frank excuse given recently • by a middle-aged man, ill in bed, when told by his physician that he was suffering from pneumonia. A battle between life and death .vas the price this man paid for his neglect of a. cold. "I'll. die before I'm operated on" is a statement that is not infrequent- ly made. The individual who makes the statement often gets his wish. Conditions which require surgical care, usually grow worse and worse until it may be too late even to save life. Excluding accidents, it is cases such as : these which constitute the majority of ` emergency operations, and the number of deaths after emer- gency operations is much higher than it is in ordinary surgical cases. The neglected appendix and hernia are typical examples. "I thought it was only a sore throat" exclaims the distracted mo- ther to the doctor attending her child who is critically ill with diph- theria. And yet, time and time again she had read in the newspapers, had been told by her doctor, or had learn- ed at the Health Centre how this tra- gic disease could be prevented by the simple injection of toxoid. Thous- ands of cases of diphtheria occur an- nually in all countries, some more, some less, depending upon thermal - bar of children who have been pro- tected against diphtheria by immuni- zation, Last year, six hundred and thirty-five deaths occurred in Canada from diphtheria. The vast majority of these lives could have been saved had diphtheria anitoxin .been ' given the gray afternoon his only emotion soon enough. Two weapons which are available, one for prevention and 'xy another for treatment, were not put to use. Three types of individuals found in every community have been briefly described. In addition to there is the unskilled person who takes upon him- self the role of medical adviser. Peo- ple of this type belong to a group,. happily becoming fewer, who not on- ly do not avail themselves of theben- efits of medical science, but who ex- ercise all in their power to keep these benefits from others. Countless lives• would be saved yearly, and much suffering and poverty would be avoid- ed if advantage were taken of medi- cal resources which are now avail- able. These resources should be us- ed by everybody; children especially should be `given that protection from. disease which is theirs by right.

Statement Untrue The statement is made in a Mont- real morning paper that the Canad- ian National has been losing at the rate of more than one million dol- lars a week on operating alone with- out any regard ' to, interest charges. This statement is untrue. The Can- adian National Railway System in 1932 met its operating expenses and had an operating net of upwards of ten million dollars, an improvement of more than two and a half million. dollars as compared with 1931. On the Eastern Lines of the Canadian National, the results from which are presented separately under the pro- visions of the .Maritime Freight Rat- es Act, the operating deficit in 1932: was four million, two hundred thous- and dollars, an improvement of two million, two hundred thousand dol- lars as compared with 1931.
