" It was with those wards ringing in her ears that Pauline woke on her wedding morning to find the sun- shine pouring in at her window. "Love doesn't last...." It seemed strange that the one thought in her mind on this day of all days should be of those words in Barbara Stark's letter which arrived late last night. Barbara was Pauline's best friend, for reasons that both of then would have found difficult to explain. The two girls were as unlike as it is pos- sible to be, for while Pauline was young, unspoiled, and full of the joy of life, with a touching belief in hap- piness and the theory that love nev- er dies, Barbara, at seven -and -twen- ty, seemed to have run through more experiences and emotions than many a woman double her age. She had been married, had had a baby, which :mercifully, so people said, had died soon after birth; she had been di- vorced, and at the moment was get- ting herself talked about everywhere by her wild extravagance and be- cause of a new and violent friend- ship with a married man. But in spite of all these things Pauline adored her. The chief trouble was that Den- nis did not approve of Barbara, and many times during her engagement Pauline's heart had been torn be- cause of her love for her friend, and her love for the man she was to mar- ry, and her desire to do as she wish; ed. Many times she had tried to ex- plain. to Dennis her friendship for Barbara, and had always been con- A. R. & F. E. DUVAL 'Licensed 'Drugless Practitioners Chiropractic and Electro Therapy.

"Love doesn't last . " Those were the words that haunt- ed her as she sat up in bed, her fair hair rumpled childishly, her blue, eyes blinking in the •sunshine. The pres- ent Barbara had sent her was stand- ing on a small table by itself. It was a small carved statuette in ivory and silver, of a small Cupid. beating his hand in vain against a barred door, and 'underneath was the one word "Denied." It seemed a funny sort of wedding present to send anyone,. Pauline had thought, even while she realized .its beauty. When she had shown it to Dennis he had laughed. "She's a miserable cynic," he said. "We'll put it in the spare room, so that she'll be able to look at it as much as she likes when she comes to, stay—I suppose she will come—" 'Of course she will," Pauline an- swered quickly, but she had not told him about Barbara's letter; she had burned it. "Love doesn't last...." Of course, that had been Barbara's own experience Pauline. was not clear as to the facts of her friend's marriage—she had never asked about it—and Barbara never spoke of her husband. That he had made good provision for her was common know - scious of Jailing. "I know people don't like her," she defended Barbara loyally, "but that's only because they don't know her and understand her as I do." "Her own fault," Dennis broke in gruffly, but this Pauline would not allow, Pauline never really knew whether Barbara liked Dennis or disliked him. She was always charming to him when he would allow her to be, and yet last night, in the letter that ac- companied a most beautiful gift, she had said things about marriage which had so impressed Pauline that she woke on her wedding morning with some of the words ringing in her ears. • . don't expect too much from your husband as I dill Any woman of experience will tell you that lave doesn't last. Romance will wear thin. It's traditional that men get tired of the same woman, When you've been "This has just come, 1 thought you'd like to open it," Ile gave her a small parcel. "Thank; you." Pauline was turning away When •he caught her hand. "1 just want to wish you , the best. of luck always and happiness heaps of it." She tried 'gently to re- lease her hand, but he held it fast. "I'll always be the .sante, Pauline— always there if you want me. If ev- er there should be any trouble.:." Again Pauline was conscious of that little •shadowy premonition: What trouble could there be? Why did everyone insist that her sunshine was bound. to be clouded? She laughed in nervous exaspera- tion. 'I suppose you are one of those people who believe that love never lasts," she seaid defiantly. "My love for you will last," Peter answered, and then •before she could stop' him he had' taken her by the shoulders and kissed her on the lips, "All the best," he said, not very steadily, and before she could move he had gone, and she heard him clatt- ering away down the stairs again. Pauline went into her room and shut, the door. She felt a little shak- en and almost as if she wanted to cry. She and Peterkin had been brought up together, but never , be- fore had he kissed her like that or looked at her with such an expers- sion in his eyes. Pauline was fond of Peterkin, but something in her heart reseirted that sudden display of. affection. Her lips belonged to Den- pis—no other man had, a right to them. She tried to feel angry with him, but it was a short-lived anger. Poor Peterkin! It was net such a happy day for him as it was going to be for her. She pulled off the fastening .of the little parcel he had brought her. It was from Barbara Stark—a slender blue garter fasten- ed with a tiny arrow. "Just for luck"—so a little written message read -"and in case nobody has remembered to give you the 'something blue' which is supposed to insure happiness." Pauline let the little gift fall to the floor. She did not want to take her luck from Barbara—for a moment she felt as if the bad fairy of the old nursery story had arrived and cast a spell over her. Then she valiantly pulled herself together. Such non- sense! Barbara was her best friend, and it was charming of her to re- member the old superstition of course, she would wear it. Then the bridesmaids came clam- ouring at the door, and there was the all-important function of fixing the veil and an excitement because the bouquets had not arrived. man in the world for her. "Much better for you if there had. been," so Barbara declared. ",First love generally comes a cropper for want of experience." Pauline had laughed at the time, but now the words returned to her with. a little sting. She dismissed them determinedly—what did it mat- ter what one embittered outlook pro- phesied? She knew she would be perfectly happy. Dennis was quite well off, and he had prospects. He was thirty-two, and he had a motor car in which they were going away for a honey moon trip; he had bought a house— quiate a small one, but a "darling" so Pauline told everyone and she had been quite sure that they would live happily ever ' after, until Barbara's letter came last night. Not that she was really seriously influenced by it - all Barbara's ideas about life were totally different from her own—but it was the first small shadow cast over the sunshine of her happiness. It was her wedding day! In the next room a white frock and veil lay on the bed, downstairs all the wed- ding present were set out on long tables. She took up Dennis O'Hare's pho- tograph nad kissed it. In a few hours now she would be his wife — she would be Mrs. 'O'Hara. Dennis said he was not Irish in spite of his name. Only yesterday she had almost cov- ered. a sheet of notepaper with his name and her, own joined together— Pauline O'Hara. ' There was a .tap at the doo'r., and her mother came in. "I've brought your tea myself this morning, darling. It's a lovely day' —so warm and sunny. Did you sleep well?" "Beautifully." But Pauline's heart gave a little throb of pain as she re- membered it was the last time she would sleep here quite as herself. "I hope the sun will shine ftlr you all your life," her mother said as she kissed her. "There is an old saying: 'Keep your face to the sunshine and the shadows will . fall behind you'. Now drink your tea and get dress- She was getting a little• nervous ed." and overdone, and her mother quick - 'Then, being a sensible mother, she ly cleared everyone out of the room went quickly away, before Pauline and, shutting the door, took 'Pauline saw the tears in her eyes. in her arms. "I wish you all the happiness in the world," she said, and now she could not hide the tears in her eyes. "Dennis is a good boy, and lie loves you, but if ever you are in trouble, don't forget that you have a mother, Pauline." Pauline gently disengaged herself from her mother's arms. "Do you think love lasts?" she asked in a tense little voice. There was a short silence, then her mother ,laughed. "It all depends on what you mean by love." Pauline's .another stooped 'to pick up a fallen flower, perhaps because for a mo- ment she was not quite sure of the expression in her eyes. "Love will change, of course, but nearly always for the better. You can't keep up the excitement of being engaged. When you're living together :it's dif- ferent." "You mean—they get used to you," Pauline said. "You mean, there isn't the same sort of longing to be with your -is that what you mean?" she asked. "My dear little girl—" Pauline brake in ruthlessly. "Did you love Daddy very much when you married him?" "Very much indeed." "And were you "disappointed after- ledge, that he was somewhere abroad was a vaguely accepted fact, and that the divorce had acutally been no- body's fault but one of those "ar- ranged" affairs was agreed by the charitable. Pauline thought it was all very pathetic. Sometimes the far- away Loney look in Barbara's eyes made her heart ache, and yet Bar- bara always seemed happy enough. She laughed a great deal, she went everywhere, she dressed beautifully, and yet the strange quality of mo- ther love in Pauline's affection for her told Pauline that in reality she was not a happy woman. "No heart." So Dennis summed up. "Selfish as the devil. I know type well," Some times Pauline was tempted to think he was right. Dear Dennis, who was so good to everyone. Den- nis had fallen in love with Pauline at first sight, so he said, and she— well, there had never been another her the Pauline drank her tea, bathed, and dressed. There were a lot of people staying in the house—causins, aunts, and a bachelor uncle, and two child- ren who were to be bridesmaids— the morning seemed td fly till sud- denly Pauline's mother said: "Its time you dressed, darling." Pauline was• conscious of a little shock, and for a moment a wild sense of panic took ,possession of her. It was as if someone had said: "This is the beginning of the end., After to- day life will be quite different. You will never really belong to yourself any more or be free to do as you 'like." With an effort she pulled herself together. What nonsense! When she was marrying a man she loved with her whole heart and was going to a happiness far greater than any .she had ever known. She hummed a snatch of a song as she ran upstairs to he room. She was at the door when someone came up the stairs behind ' her two at a time, and Peter Johnson—a very fav- ourite cousin, who would. have liked to be something nearer and dearer— called her name. "Pauline !" "T-Iullo, Peterkin." He joined her rather breathlessly. "ja lggta lkSplf,1n'; The agonizing aches from neuralgia can be quieted in the same way you would end a headache.

"Things are always different froin what one expects." "And do you love him still?" Pauline's mother looked away, "Yes—but it's different," she said, and then, as if regretting the admis- sion, she hastened to add: "But no two marriages are alike. We must all shape our own destinies. You will find out for yourself." There was a little silence, then Pauline drew a hard breath, like a sigh, and for a moment her pretty face looked sad. "I .wonder why," she said slowly. (Continued nett week.)

The uncomfortable symptoms are blamed on the heart, when, in real ity,' the distention of the stomach is rsponsible. Organic 'heart disease in- cludes all forms of heart disease• which are brought about by changes in the structure of the heart itself. Same of these are congenital;. one child may be born with a heart that is improperly formed, just as anoth- er child may Have a harelip. Most organic heart disease is the_ result of infections. By infections we mean the condition which results from the action of germs living in- side the body. This includes the gen- eral diseases due to germs, such as pneumonia; typhoid fever, measles,. diphtheria and scarlet fever. Two in- fections which have a particular ten- dency to cause injury to 'theheart are syphilis and rheumatic fever. Disease of other organs may throw such an added strain upon the heart as to cause changes in the heart. So it is that not infrequently patients are found to be sufering from a com- bination of the kidneys, the heart and: the arteries. ' Failure to take reasoi-iable care of the body, and excessive physical ex- ertion on the part of persons untrain- ed for such efforts lead to damaged. hearts. Old age is accompanied bee changes in the structure of the heart. The prevention of heart disease be- gins with living a hygienic life, the prevention, • or, at least, the proper treatment of' infectious' conditions,. particularly syphilis and rheumatism,. the removal of infections, such as dis- eased teeth and tonsils and.avoidance of undue physical effort. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toron- to, will be answered personally by letter. • When we speak of heart disease, we do not refer to one single dis- ease, as is the case when we speak of tuberculosis. The term "heart dis- ease" embraces .a number of abnorm- al conditions of the heart which may be temporary or permanent, mild or severe. There are many different causes for and many different kinds of heart disease. Heart disease may be divided into two groups, the one functional, the other organic. When the heart' does, not do its work pro- perly even though there is no change in the walls or valves of the; organ, the condition is known as function- al heart disease. This functional dis- turbance gives rise to a wide variety of symptoms. We may, for example, become conscious of the beating of the heart, we have palpitations. The cause may tie in the abnormal condi- tion of other organs, such as the stomach or the kidneys.. All organs and are connect - by nerves, so the organ affects the work in ;conjuction ed with each other disturbance of one others. Fatigue and emotional upsets are also causes .of abnormal heart con- ditions. The heart may be pushed out of place by distended stomach "How does it happen," asked the teacher of the new scholar, "that your name is Allen and your moth- er's :name is Brown?"
