Claudia Townsend rose to her feet yelling with the rest, thumping on the rail with her excitement. '•Oh, for goodness sake, Claudia, do sit still!" "But who is he?" she asked.

I hope they nail him for the Seattle team." "Claudia," said the girl next her, "how wild your dear VVally would be to hear you'd transferred your affection to a stranger who happened to cut a dash on the ice!" "He's not my Wally!" Claudia. "As for my affections they're not transferred anywhere. I just admire a good hockey player!" "Claudia's heart is made of ice," said another girl. "If I had Wally Bor-nell trailing after me with all the Bornell dollars--" "Look -- he's got it again!" Claudia interrupted excitedly. It was one of the first practise matches of the season, and association members, including the captain of the Seattle team, were sizing up players for the year's team. After the game, Claudia hurried down with her party to greet the players. Wallace Bornell was waiting for her as usual. "Oh, Wally, who's the brilliant stranger? He played marvelously!" "Who d'you mean?" asked Wally, frowning. "That man over these." "That? Oh, that's Dick Whalen, an old college pal of mine from Portland. He turned up here yesterday. "Do go and bring him here, Wally! I do so want to meet him!" The frown on Wallace's forehead became more pronounced, but there was nothing for it but to move off, most unwillingly, to get Dick Whalen. It was a reawakening of the old college-days rivalry between himself and Dick Whalen. Then, it had always been Whalen ?t the head of the^flass. Whalen elected captain of And now, here was Claudia taking an interest in him! Well, he would nip ^that interest in the bud pretty In a moment lie had ted Dick Whalen up to Claudia and her group. "Mrs. Peters, may I introduce Mr. Whalen. Miss Townsend -- Mr. Wha- Claudia looked into a pair of rather shy blue eyes, and found herself to be strangely tongue-tied. "Miss Townsend has been gasping with admiration at your play, Mr. Whalen," said Mis. Peters for her. X Dick Whalen looked down adAir ingly into her dark eye and deiwiiy fresh face. She was so full of life^ her eyes spoke so eloquently. "Come along Claudia," said taking her arm. "But --" Claudia nudged Maryj Peters' elbow. "Won't you join us, Mr. Whalei Mrs. Peters hastened i "Yes, do!" Claudia added cordia|iy. So Wallace Bomell's evening spoiled by the addition of Dick Wlia-len's company.

"I used to a bit. Do you ski around here?" "Yes we have a ski club x Mount Rainier. We'd be glad to lia/ve you come up next weekend." "That's awfully kind of you, Miss Townsend, but you see, I'm not sure about staying in Seattle. I'm looking for a job here. But -- will you come skating with me to-morrow? I know it's short notice--" "I'll come." she nodded with a little smile. Next day, Sunday, they went skating together. On Monday he telephoned, and on Tuesday they went skating again. On Wednesday they drove out in another direction, in Claudia's car, and had lunch at a wayside inn. By this time they knew each other very well, and found that knowledge ever more pleasing. Wallace Bornell heard about their outings, and his old bitterness against Whalen developed Into actual hate. Something must be done about it. Wallace Bornell was a rich man and had not a little influence in his line. The Bornell Lumber Company's interest were wide and far-reaching. An idea came to him suddenly, as he talked with his manager who had come south to see him from lumber camps in British Columbia. j "Look here, Braddock," he saijd. chap of about my ov "No, I have not, Mr. Bornell!

I think, because of the fact that of these ten to'j-ranking rooks--by publishers' standards--exactly half were written by women Indeed, in the list of ictual winners three out of five are women, even though the last has the dubious honor of having written the most distinguished "forgotten" book. Writing is, I imagine, the only trade, craft or profession in which at the end of a year wonnen practitioners could thus break even and even outclass the men. There is no question anyway, about their having established their claims to and obtained all of their "rights" in the field of literature.

In a small town, if a team of horses ran away along the main street one or two women world be almost sure to faint in the doorways of the leading dry-goods stores. At any gathering attended by excitement a woman would be likely to faint and be carried tenderly to one side for recoveery. At a funeral there would be faintings. Another point is that women do not cry as much as they once did. If a man and his wife had a dispute the woman would win by bursting into tears. Perhaps, owing to the advancement in education they can win domestic disputes nowadays without resorting to tears. Be that as it may, the female of the species does not faint, does not cry, does not blush as^she formerly did. One does not like t. suggest that the shedding of tears was formerly more of an aft than an evidence of grief. Instead the change that has| come about may be largely due to' abandoning of tight-laced corsets, the freeing of the female figure, the releasing of girls and .vomen so that they can play games, take exercises, live much in the open and dwell at night in well-ventilated homes.--Toronto Star.
