Our young niece Betty is staying .with us so . it occurred to me that -with her help I might even be able to paper the ceiling — a job I have never yet tackled alone. The ceiling was low enough that I could reach it •from a chair and the room nbt so terribly big. So I hopefully cut and measured one strip of paper — I thought one piece would be enough to experi- ment with. Well, I wrestled with that piece of evil for nearly an hour — pasting and repasting. At one time I had it wrapped around me -like a winding sheet and of course I finished up by tearing it into any number of pieces. In des= peration I came downstairs and phoned' a neighbor — "Haw do you get one end of a strip to stay on a ceiling while you fix the other?" I asked. Well, after she had finished laughing at me she said — "You just leave it for now and I will come down after supper and help you." So that was that. The ceiling was done that night and Betty and I papered the walls next day. It is grand to have neighbours and neices! * * >b Another telephone call , , .

Would it be permissible for ai man to pass in front of a wo- man, in: order to get out of an automobile on the curb side? • 2, When giving a luncheon, when should the bread and butter plates be put on the table? e.. What should a hostess do if a..caller refuses a cup of tea or coffee? 4: If a pian has asked a girl for permission to call and she has declined, should he ask her again at some other time? 5. Is it correct for parents to introduce their children to adults? 6. What is the proper position to place a butter knife on the but- ter plate? ANSWERS 1. Yes, and it is also safer. than getting out on the traffic hide. Of course it would be more con- venient for the driver . to ,get out on the left side. 2. Before the guests enter the diningroom. 3. The hostess should accept the refusal and not make the offer a second time. 4. That depends en- tirely upon the manner in which she refused his first request. He must use his best judgment as to whether the girl really cares to extend the friendship. 5. Yes, and it is excellent training. Well-bred parents should do so at every op- portunity. 6. Diagonally across the rim of the plate. Climate Note Passengers on a Portland, Ore., bus sweltered and wondered why, even 'with the windows open, it was hotter in the bus than outside, says the• New York Times. Only the driver, a discharged war vet- eran, remained cool and calm. , Finally, it was discovered that all the heaters were going full blast; the driver had recently returned from the South Pacific and he was more comfortable than at any time since he had come back from the tropics.

LOUIS ARTHUR CUNNINGHAM CHAPTER XVI "What's in the wind, Peter? Any idea?" "Ah, well!" Roger looked at the clear blue sky and thought of Meridel's eyes and closed his own, It would be good to fly again, 'to range the heavens wide and frees "By the way," said Peter Ays- cough, "1 heardthey found that ritzy station wagon of yours aban- doned at Sainte-Barbe, not far from the border. The fugitives grabbed some farmer's truck there and took it almost to the line And they're over, I guess. They seeem to have vanished into thin air.'1 "I thought tliey'd get away. Nervy beggars." "It's a devil of a note— That Kehl—Captain Manfred Kehl — a big shot Nazi; the other lad, Faber, was a hell -raiser too. No end of trouble with hila in the camp, 1 heard from a chap who did duty there. They'll find some pale in the States, you may be sure. 1 suppose they'll turn up next in 'Tobruk." Roger, deep in his heart. did not know whether to be glad or sorry that Michel had escaped. For a while he hacl thought, with Tante Mimi, that perhaps a bullet frcm a pursuer's gun would he the best answer to it all. Now he did not know. Hi,• own happiness was so • great, so wondrous. Perhaps the Americans,, this time, would grant no bail, would take the men and 'hold them prisoners until the war was over. Certainly it would be foolhardy to let those two escape. Wel], anyway, it wasn't his worry any more. * * * The children had presented Pe- ter Ayscough with a huge basket or ribbon -candy, barley toys, bon- bons, fruit and•nuts, which he con- sumed happily along the way at the constant hazard of wrecking the machine and breaking their necks. "It will be a relief to get up in the air again, Pete," said Roger as they slewed away from the edge of a gully and grazed a telephone pole on the other side of the road. • "So safe up there." "It is :, bit slippery, sir. Gosh, you must have had :: swell time at your aunt's place, if this is a sample of it. Was that pretty girl the princess?" "'Yes—that was the princess." "Boy! She looked it. War surely has it compensations," "Yes," said Roger wryly. "It's been a great war for the Fabres. We'll all be sorry to see it end." He fell sient, thinking of that last lovely picture he had taken away with him, the bright faces of the children, niadame's burning black eyes and the pride in thein and the tears that were like jewels in the eyes of Meridel. Behind them the gray walls of the chateau; behind it the hills crowned with the dark green beauty of the spruce trees and the pines. * * * Your dear, remembered face, he thought. Nothing shall dine the memory of it for me—not the motintel:1s and the seas between; not years it I should be kept away from you that long; not eternity. But I'll come back to you, Meridel. I know 1 was not first in your heart. Ile came there once for a little while and possessed it, and he does not easily let go. I'm sorry the end far him had to be like this, so dark, so shamefully dark. I would rather have bested him in fair fight or at least have had the chance to fight, even had I lost. There's something hollow about this victory, something that robs it of its savor. Dreaming thus, he dozed off and it was not until they had rolled into the outlying districts of the city where Ayscough had a chance to do some really fancy driving, that he awa'..ened—just as their front fender grazed the nighty bumper of a tru:.k. "Did 1 n-iss much, Pete?" "You hsve no idea, sir." Pete grinned cheerfully. "All men, espe- cially troch drivers, will remem- ber the p,ee ing of Peter Ayscough." "With a blessing, Pll bet," "Well, f did hear some of them mention names that go with bless- ings, though their fares belied their words. But l do my best, my very best, and do -it every day. Always the first to spring to arias at the call of duty. that's me, Pete." * * * Gradnally, quiet descended on the great house as the laughter, the busy tongues were stilled by sleep. Rudolph, the incorrigible, went to the kitchen soon after dinner, to sit in the chair he loved, to talk grave. Iv with Gesner and. the cook and Florian and the other domestics, of wars and tre aftermath of war, of his own experience in the army of France ,n the First World War. He spoke of the great generals of history, of the first great Churchill, Corporal Jolla, Duke of 'Jaribor• ough; of Prince Eugene, of Napnie. out Wellington and 131t.ehcr. Ile loved kitchens, did Rudolph, were they of castles, inns or cottages. He, who was to the mariner bora," found his greatest ease and happi- ness in the inglenook. Madame and Meridel shared the fire in the room upstairs. It had been a good day. The events of last night had not faded, any more than the wine stain on the taupe carpet. But the beauties of the day had taken some of the ugliness from them; the sweet and gentle spirit, the love that had pervaded the house had driven those dark shadows into hiding and both of them prayed, the old lady and the young girl in whose eyes the dreams refused to die, that they would not come again. "You sent,Roger away happy this time," raid madame. "Never be- fore have I seen him go so gayly leave so much that he loved be- hind and depart singing. But it was so tcday. I think he must have taken something very precious away. with him," * * Meridel colored, looked at her hand that he had kissed. `Some- thing very small I think, madame. He asked for my love and I told hint it was freely given." The old lady looked at her shrewdly for a moment; then at the five. She rubbed her chin on the gleaning knob of her stick. "Freely, yes," she said after a moment. "Sometimees, I know, it is not in our power to give as , we should like to give." "And is not that selfishness, madame?" The thin shoulders shrugged. "Say, rather, it is human nature— a perverse, stubborn, sometimes hateful thing. Logic stops at hu- man nature. Why do we do the things we do, hein? Why should we cause pain to those who love us most? Roger adores you, but you know what it is in love—one who loves, one who permits herself to be loved. It is like that in any match. There is 'no balance. One gives, the other takes.. Oh, I have seen it often, often." "You think it is like that with— with Roger and me?" "Isn't it?'' "I—" she coverd her face with her hands. "I do not know. Oh, he is so fine. He is what you call a noble knight. I am nothing. By accident of birth I was taught to consider myself something for a while. Not now. Where is my no- bility compared with his, with that • of so many thousands of men like him—kings, princes, knights—" (To Be Continued) Hirohito For First Time Takes Orders Emperor Hirohito—whom the Japanese believe descended from the sun — becomes a mouthpiece for the Allies, Gen. Dcuglas MacArthur, ap- pointed Supreme Allied Com- mander to receive the Japanese surrender, will tell Hirohito what to do. The Japanese understood this when they accepted the surrender terms. Nothing like this—taking orders from a white man or any foreigner—has ever before hap- pened to a Japanese Emperor. Hirohito has no choice. He has agreed to carry out whatever orders given him by the Allies. oesola 0 44656 SIZES 34.50 A refreshingly new neckline, on a classic shirtwaister, makes Pat- tern 4650 first choice for Tall weari Optional contrast for yokes and collar.
