Cousin Neil Macdonald be- eemek engaged to Frena Joicey-Goff. Peter Penearrow Is showing interest in Maisie Kite, a typist. Robin and Genevieve, who had fin- ished a set, walked off laughing to- wards the house, their arms linked. But there was an intimate quality in their laughter; a secret delight in their glances. Kitty's hands gripped each other firmly, a habit she had when need- ing control or faced with a difficulty. She had been a fool not to have seen this before. Instead she had felt se- curity in it. The lonely boy might have sought companionship and found love, but in his friendship with his cousin she felt an ally, She wanted to keep him with her. She had been parted from him so much and had made so many sacrifices, and now she grew afraid of anyone who threatened to take him from her. Some day he would marry, but not yet. He was . still young. When he Married....., In her most secret thoughts she planned a brilliant marriage for him. Now Norah had come crashing in with her disturbing suggestion that Robin was in love with Genevieve. She objected to cousins marrying; there• was always the fear of the chil- dren`being—queer. But, in any case, a dominant character 1ikA Genevieve would: be the worst type of wife for Robin. She would overshadow him. She -was not social. True, she play- ed hostess at the Hutt very success- fully, but she hated society and its ways, and would not be a good in- fluence' on Robin. She was too self- contained. She would drag Robin "away from the world in which she 'wanted him to shine. Her ambitions were all wrong. Alarm at the prospect and anger at Norah's clumsy suggestion that it was Robin's friendship that was keeping Genevieve from marrying, completely spoilt her day. She was glad when Genevieve called them in to tea. No more was said, but Nora -di felt a chilly note in Kitty's good-bye. That was all the thanks you got, Still` she was glad she had done it, One reason for telling Kitty -was _....,-*-----, An rMse it, an ortv mu i.e 1. uence she exercised over Robin. She might be able to break it from that end,. and spare her an embarrassing in- terview -with Genevieve, from which she always came out worst. Two days later Genevieve went in to Wellington and, under Maisie's guidance, bought her shorthand books and hired a typewriter. Maisie had GREAT TONIC At all ,good Drug 8 Dept.

"Why this sudden passion for work?" asked Kelly. "You never know when it may be useful. When you marry and leave me in the lurch I don't think I'd find life at home very absorbing. It hap- pens to be something I can do here, and it interests me." Kelly frowned on the idea from the first. He could see no justifica- tion for it. Not that it affected him, but it suggested restlessness, and he did not enjoy the prospect of Gene- vieve leaving him. Maisie's visits were welcome, however. He found her amusing. Norah was greatly distressed when she heard about Genevieve's new fad. Her hopes of Genevieve's marriage' seemed to recede further; it was very disappointing. Robin said he'd give her a job in the office, and Kelly remarked that it was not considered decent to lure domestic servants from their allegi- ance. "Can't you convince him of its usefulness?" asked Maisie. "I haven't tried. If he hasn't the intelligence to see, it's a waste of time." "Perhaps you could convince me, Maisie," and ,Kelly smiled at her. A quick flush colored her face. So that's it, thought Genevieve, and she went to the kitchen to talk to the maid about what sandwiches to make for tea. The idea that Maisie was becoming fond of Kelly took root, and at every turn she found confirmation of it. Of Kelly's feeling she was not at all sure He never exerted himself to capture a girl's affection, but he was popu- lar with them all. He had shown no preference for any one;; and. Maisie's amusing company had not awakened any warmer response. Genevieve was sure now that the girl's eager- ness to teach her had its origin in her admiration for Kelly, If Kelly married Maisie! Lord, what a row there would be! Sir Miles Penearrow'sieidest son and this almost unknown 'Office girl! But it wasn't likely. So far Kelly seemed proof against it. Genevieve liked Maisie. Kelly might do worse, she considered. Without making it too obvious she, gave Mai- aide the future: Peter was making his final attempt to get his matriculation, his previ- ous failure have greatly incensed his father, "Nor more of this damn' play-act- ing till you're through," he said, and Peter was torn from the amateur op- eratic society, causing, he was con- vinced, considerable loss to the com- pany. Maisie still played leading roles, and steadily consolidated her footing in those circles which impinged upon music and the theatre; - Without conniving at the affair, which she knew must meet with vio- let opposition from her parents, Gen- evieve, however, devised excuses for leaving Kelly and Maisie together. "Come on, Robin, I want a walk be- fore supper." Robin was only too glad of the chance to have Genevieve for an hour and in that easy manner of human affairs a few repetitions soon became a fixed habit, CHAPTER SEVENTEEN "How nice, Robin! Here is an in- vitation to tea at Mrs. MacShane's next Sunday," and Kitty passed the note across the breakfast table. "Yea, a pity I can't go," he said. "Why not? They have a lovely place at Karori. I don't think you have been out there before." "No, I haven't," "You'll enjoy it. They are most hospitable, and It is a beautiful gar- den." "Perhaps they'll ask me another time. But you go."

Later, the royal heart 1 was struck with the thought that the struggling Church could well dd I with some funds, and he gave th' parish the right to sell ail whalesi wrecks and flotsam and jetsam flung up on Long Island. What revenue, if any, Trinity de=j; rived from that privilege has not!' been discovered, At any rate,.the parish gslid not prosper fast enough' for Queen Anne, and in 1705, the' bestowed on it a tract of land, which became known as the Queen's Farm. It yielded a revenue of £40 a year. , Asthe thriving city began to spread out on its narrow terrain, the Queen's Farm became covered! with rent -paying buildings. Sub- ways underran it in later years, and- trii;s -went up. Though large slices' of ‘-'the farm were taken to provide, for "other Episcopal ' churches,;' King's College, now Columbia Uni-' versity, and other buildings, the little church at the head of Wall Street had 700 lots remaining, and prospered until it became ' the wealthiest church in New York, and, probably, in the country. Recently the parish sold the "east , side of Hudson Street from West Houston to Clarkson Street, part of the trict it received 237 years ago from King William. The transfer marked the first change in owner- ship of this particular property since the royal grant. Four 'and five -storey building's cover the block involved in the transaction, and, according to William S.

Prefer Smile Debaters Decide Nagging Worse Fault Than Slovenliness Is Wallaceburg. — If she has a smile on her face most of the time, it is permissible for your wife to serve soup with a stray strand of her hair in it, or to forget to sew buttons on your shirt, just so long as she kisses you goodbye when you go to work in the morning. At least such was the decision of the judges in a debate at a meeting of Trinity United Young People Society on the subject "Resolved that a nag- ging but efficient and tidy wife is preferable to a slovenly but good- natured one." The judges awarded the decision to the negative which was 'upheld by A. P. Brander and Ira Hammond, while William Walk.: er and J. Ashton Lillie argued for the affirmative.

In this week's article, I would like to go back to the beginnings of Graphology—when those who were beginning to wonder whether hand- writing really did show something of the writer's character, were hitting in the dark, as it were. It will show you that for hundreds of years, re- search has been proceeding into the mysteries that lie beneath the ap- parently simple symbols that mark mankind's efforts to converse on paper. The first known book on charact- er from Handwriting was published in 1622—three hundred years ago—by a man named 'Camille Ballo. In the year 1792, the German historian, I. 0, Grohmann, wrote on the same theme, and this was followed in 1823 by an Englishman, Stephen Collet, It will surprise many readers to learn that the 'well-known writer, Edgar Allen Poe, was an industrious seeker after the truth about charact- er delineation from handwriting. And we find that Sir Walter Scott, whose novels, whilst not so popular today as some years ago, are still ranked as classics, wrote the following in 1829, in his book, "The,Chronicles of the Canongate": "My first impres- sion was to thrust the manuscript in the fire .

" S �'Y'_�• -- ,,,Lit= Amu: portance with whicht the author undertook and accomplished the task?" These words of Sir Walter Scott are significant of the awakening in- terest in the possibilities of recog- nising the truth about a person's na- ture from his manner of writing, many years ago. I would like to put it in another way to my readers, Do you not re- cognise the handrwriting of your friends? Even if you are accustom- ed to have correspondence from a score of acquaintances and friends, as a rule you can identify each one by the writing, Some of the hand- writings will look somewhat alike, but you rarely make a mistake in properly identifying the writer. This shows that each writing has its in- dividual cbacteristics. From a real- isation of this fact, which is self- evident, it is not a long step to an assumption that, if different writings show the individual characteristics, then it is possible to accurately identify those characteristics. And that is exactly what Graphol- ogy does. Would you like to have a personal character study from your own hand. writing? And have you any friends whose real natures you would like to know?
