SCANLAN t.. ...m-. sxNOVSas Here we see a group of young peo- ple carried on the tides of youth, Young Kelly Pencarrow finally settles down on the Pencarrow farm, with Genevieve his cousin as housekeeper, who is in love with her cousin Robin Herrick. Cousin Neil Macdonald be- comes engaged to frena Joicey-Goff. Something prompted Genevieve to speak as though a ghost of the future had cast its shadow over them. "But there will be better days — much better," Robin said. They had drifted into a softly dreaming mood, and silence fell. When the last guest had gone, and only the family remained„ Norah heaved a. sigh of relief. "She is very sweet, Hester," she said to Neil's mother as they joined the others in the breakfast room, where supper had been served. It was too late for Kelly and Gene- vieve to go out to the Hutt, so they were staying till morning. Hester, with Neil and Jessie, also were there, Robin and his mother lingered be- hind to take the party over before going back to Hobson Street. "Are there any oyster patties left; I didn't get one, and I'm ravenous", said Genevieve, searching the plates and dishes, Kelly picked up three sandwiches at once and munched between re- marks. "It went off very well, I think," suggested Norah, "A wonderful party; and what beautiful dresses," said Hester, grate- ful that all this should have been brought into being for her son. "Did you have a piece of that rainbow cake, Hester? It's a new re- cipe I got, Try it," and Norah cut herself and Bitty a slice of the cake. "You never get enough to eat at your own party," Peter began. "Not if you are a. good little boy, and keep on passing things," Gene- vieve scooped up a pile 'of mixed sandwiches, and tipped them on to one plate. "Oh, by the way, who was that young person I saw sitting on the table in a most unladylike fashion, Peter? And all you boys were en - That Depressed Feeling is Largely Liver Wake up your Liver Bile —Without Calomel.

CAN'T SLIP OR SLIDE LSE TEETH Don't use any old kind of remedy to keep false teeth in place—use a reliable, recognized one which dentists prescribe such as Dr. Wernet's Powder—the largest seller in the world—grips teeth so secure yet comfortable they feel natu- ral.

Inexpensive—all druggists: couraging her. I don't mind laugh- ter, but I do object to that kind of hilarity. Who was she, I say?" and Miles waited while Peter gulped a mouthful, "That was Maisie Kite." Ile volun- teered the information with great gusto, He took the centre of the ring, as though he expected a burst of applause to greet this momentous announcement, Genevie,'e kicked Kelly under the chair, but did not look his way, Could they never have a „party without it ending in a scene? thought Norah, wishing he had sent them all straight to bed, "Who?" demanded Miles. "Maisie Kite," repeated Peter. "Kite! Kite! Do we know these Kites?" he snapped, lifting his nose as though the very name conjured a bad smell. "Must you go, Kitty?" and Norah positively pushed Kitty out of the breakfast room door in order to cause a diversion. Norau had seen the rising anger in Miles' face and could read the signs. She had yielded to Peter and asked the Kite girl against her bet- ter judgment. A nice little thing, she thought her. She had hoped Miles would not notice a stranger among the many he knew, and she had hin- ted to Peter the wisdom of not thrusting Maisie Kite under his fath- er's eyes at some embarrassing mo- ment. Now she would have to ex- plain away her own omission to con- sult him. She was very tired, The party had been a great success; everyone had said so, Why couldn't Miles Ieave it at that? She wasn't complaining, but at least he might have -commented on the excellent supper and arrangements she had made. But no, he must hit upon this nice little girl, and start a row be- cause she had a circle of boys around her, making them laugh." "Good night, Genevieve." "Good night, Roobin." "'Coming, Kelly?" "Half a shake—any more beer?" "Good night, Monier." "Lock the door, dear," "Put that cake in the tin, it gets stale so quickly; and cover the tarts." As they dawdled and drifted about before going upstairs to bed, Mile's voice rose once again. "Who are these Kites, Norah?" "Yes, dear; just a minute. I want to see if Emily has put the ham back in the safe," "Kite! What next?" and Miles grunted and damned as, Iater, he ripped off bis collar and tie. CHAPTER ELEVEN About the time Miles Pencarrow was knighted and his young brood were still in the nursery, Wallie Kite and his family moved from Waimate to Ashburton. Walton Kite was a man who had. the initiative to begin many enter- prises but lacked the perseverance to complete any of them, He would open a. little store in. a bustling en- ergy that brought him ready trade, but soon his interest waned, and it was left to his wife to carry on un- til they sold out to avoid bankrupt- cy. He would dig up the garden— roses, roots and bulbs—and pile them on the path with promise of wonderful changes, but he wearied by noon, and the evening saw Mrs. Kite panting as she replaced the wil- ted flowers in their old beds, drag - Faster Way Now to Relieve :Neuralgia — DiSCOVERY ALSO EASES BAD HEADACHES MUSCULAR PAIN OFTEN IN FEW MINUTES Remember the pictures below when you want fast relief from pain. Aspirin eases even a bad headache or neuralgia often in a few minutes! An Aspirin tablet begins "taking hold" ofyourpain practicallyas soon as you swallow it. And Aspirin is safe. For Aspirin does not harm the heart. Remember these two points: Aspirin Speed and Aspirin Safety. And, see that you get ASPIRIN, the method doctors prescribe. It is made in Canada, and all druggists have it. Look for the name Bayer in the form of a cross on every Aspirin tablet. Get tin of 12 tablets or eco- nomical bottle of 24 or 100 tablets. Why Aspirin Works So Fast Drop' an Aspirin tablet in a glass of water. Note that BE- FORE it touches the bottom, it is disinte- grating.

Elis wife had no great gifts ex- cept a dogged motherhood and an ability to keep on her feet all day. She was a largo woman, with an ample bosom; a great soft cushion that was made for pillowing 'tired babies. She had been a good wife to Wallie Kite, and Ile knew it. He was grate ful to her for getting him out of many a hole. A shaggy, sandy little man, his eyes still twinkled when some comic aspect of life's tragedy pre- sented itself to his artless mind. They were fine eyes, really, but hedged in with untidy sandy brows. His straight moustache overhung his lip and stood between him and his food. Of the seven children, Maisie, the middle one was his favorite, and he looked upon her as the hope of the family, She would go far, would Maisie, he had concluded long before the child was aware of a wide world outside the country store. "A throw -back on my father's side, I wouldn't wonder. She's different from the rest." She was not a pretty child, but she had a vital quality which made ev- erything she did significant. Some- thing in the way she carried her head and the swing of her body con- veyed a suggestion of authority. She had her father's fine eyes and his amused outlook on life. A slap might sting her flesh but it would not tame her spirit. "Here, Maisie, do these dishes. Me 011 my two feet all day," and, sigh- ing, Mrs. Kite would sit heavily and fan herself with her apron. "No, finish them properly; and hang up the frying -pan and wipe the pot lids, What! Want to go out! Where are you galavanting now? You ought to be doing your home - lessons." "Oh, let her go, Mother; let her go. I'll do the frying -pan," and cher father would blink knowingly at Maisie, and take the tea -towel, while Maisie scampered off. (To Be Continued.) Drawstring Receives Designers' Attention There is a new technique in the style of today as revealed by the French couturiers who have revert- ed to the old-fashioned methods of manipulating materials in or �- feature fullness and drapery a az- press a new silhouette. In glancing backward at the fashions of former seasons it proves that many charm- ing modes have been achieved through the use of gathers and shir- rings. It is therefore of little won- der that designers of this 1934 Au- tumn season have reverted to the trick of drawing strings and gather- ing fabrics. There are many interpretations of this new yet old-fashioned manipula- tion of needle and thread on yard- age and it may easily be recognized that still further development may be expected within the next six months and it is important to note the changes that are developing at the moment. Skirts of evening gowns are being shirred at the upper part of the side seams giving a little tight drape about the hips. This embodies nov- elty and neatness as well as the de- sired snugness. Bodices bring a line of shirring from under the sleeves to the neck line, which introduces a soft drape and develops into more or less of a cowl efect. Similar in- dications of gathers just above the belt as well as in sleeves and bodices flounces and flutings are apparent in the new significances from such houses as Schiaparelli, Chanel, Le - long and others.

Outstanding Quality 707 Fresh from the Gardens What Does Your Handwriting Reveal? GEO. ST. CLAIR (Grapho-Analyst) All Rights Reserved Editor's Note: Mr. St. Clair deals with another Interesting problem this week. You may not be confronted with a similar case, but you probably have some problem In which this well known writer's advice would be wel- come, See his Invitation to you, fol- lowing this article). Miss Anxious writes as follows: "I work in an office and am very dis- satisfied with my work, although I can put up with it for the sake of ha- ving something to do and the salary that goes with it. I would much pre- fer to have studied medicine, and I would have done so if illness had not prevented me from following it up. Now I have the following problem which is worrying me terribly. I am terribly fond of two. men, and I real- ly cannot choose between them. So should I marry the young doctor, who will have a. long struggle to make be- fore success comes (I am willing to help him in the struggle, if I can make up my mind that I love him en- ough to marry him). Or should I marry the other man—he is 35 years of age and I am but 27, This man is wealthy and can give me luxuries I have been denied. He is refined and has travelled all over the world. Be- cause of this I feel inferor to him, although he is most unassuming and a wonderful pal. Now Mr. S, Clair, I shall consider your opinion almost fi- nal regarding this matter as I sim- ply cannot decide." In considering this problem, mere consideration of handwriting is not sufficient. As far as character is con- cerned there is little to choose be- tween 'these two mn. They are both straightforward and reliable. One has money and doesn't have to worry about' making a living. The other— the doctor—+has, his way to make in the world, and I have no doubt, that barring unforeseen accidents he will do at least fairly well in his chosen sphere. So it is necessary to use psychol- ogy. Here we have a girl who is no longer in the flapper stage, and who ought, generally speaking, to be able to make a choice between two men for her life partner. It is my belief that she is rather partial to the young doctor. His am- bition to get on strikes a responsive and sympathetic ,,hor•d in her mind, because girls are usually more sym- because girls are usually more sym- men who are striving hard to make progress, But it is not only this, She herself wanted to take up the study of med- icine and was only prevented by ill- ness. Her interest 1s thus in medicine and those things that this young doc- tor represents. Against all this—and you will no- tice that I am accepting her own ex- pression that she is very fond of them both, at its face value—we have the wealthy suitor, and "Miss Anxious" is undoubtedly greatly tempted by the possibilities of comfort and fin- ancial safety that his money repres- ents. This latter feature is, I believe, clouding the fact that she is more in love with the young doctor. Now for a word or two about the girl herself. She is fairly well-balanc- ed tempermentally, is capable and in- dependent. She possess the capacity to aid the struggling doctor in his ef- forts towards success, and she also has the sympathy and kindliness of heart that would Solace him in his struggles. I advise you, "Miss Anxious" to de- cide in favour of the young doctor. It is my own personal opinion that you are really more in love with 'him, and I think you will feel settled after ma- king this decision, and glad that you did so. I wish you all happiness and hope that your young doctor will not have too arduous a struggle before he rea- ches comparative success. The writer of these fascinating ar- ticles can help you too.
