CHAPTER VII "INDIAâ€"GRIM STEPMOTHER OF OUR KIND" Pathapore was not a picturesque nor romantically situated station. The cantonments looked like a child‘s brick buildings dumped in the middle of the plain‘s flatness, with the untidy muddle of the native bazaar some little distance away. In neither was there a single structure of any architectural value; even the Club was an unpretentious redâ€"andâ€"white bungalow, with grounds which showed no sign of blossoming like a ross in the desert, Beyond the Club, beyond the barracks at the extreme edge where the cantonâ€" ments met the plain, with a dusty road *Gillett‘s Lye makes dozens of messy household tasks easy.

Her body felt heavy and listless; she had scarcely energy to lift her feet on to the chair and lie exâ€" tended, and the cushions undsr her head struck damp.

"But you say Struan likes her in spite cf her . . . fishiness?" "Ié sounds a horrid comparison put in that way!" Chrissie laughed. "Though it‘s my fault for having made it first. And it is really marvellous the way Leonie manages the servants. She speaks Hindustani far better than I do, and they like her, tso, although I beâ€" lieve they‘re bit afraid of her as well.

"I‘ll speak to the butler, Chrissie." "I‘ve no doubt I can arrange to run over to Khotalzhar for His Highness‘s sitting, perhaps spend a few days with him later." "Of course, you‘re staying with us, Hall," Struan‘s voice broke in on his thoughts. "I won‘t hear of anything else.

More of a woman, even in that boyâ€" ish kitâ€"was that it? Certainly the tropics must suit her. There was colâ€" our in her pale face, a soft brightness in her eyes which was surely new; the beautiful lines of mouth and jaw seemâ€" ed less sculptural. as she sat up sideways. "V you have? When did you ge last?" you won‘‘t! Ah, here comes Ranny! I can hear their horses, so I shall have reinforcemints to persuade you to stay." The clatter of hooves and the sound of: voices came from the side of the bungalow, and in a few moments two figures appcared on the verandah. Struan strode forward, hand outâ€" stretched, an attractive figurs in his ridingâ€"kit, from smoothly brush>d head to wellâ€"palished boots. "Hall! What a pleasant surprise!

Well, Miss Valence, w> meet again, and I â€"only hope you‘re half as glad as I am." "I‘m glad, of course." There was just a flicker of a smile about her lips, but her eyes were grave and intent, as they stood handâ€"clasped. And Hall, looking at her, realized that here was a phase of Leonie Valence. Up to now shi> had always been the same greyâ€"clad figure, on the Goriana, in the boat, at the Kensington Hotel. Now, in tussore coat, Jodhpur, ridingâ€"breeches and a terai felt hat, she looked younget, pretâ€" tier. Eut no, even now, "pretty" was not the word to desgribe her; that epithet, which might be bestowed equalâ€" ly well on a daisy, a lamb, or the patâ€" tern of a wallpaper. "I‘m not needing anything, really and please don‘t geot up, Mrs. Struan I shall have to be off." Op)ortumty knocks for every manâ€"a woman, of course, gets a ring. To prsvent attacks, the avoidance of these substances is the first thought. As this is not always possible, skin and other tests of various substances known to cause symptoms are made, and when the cffending substance is found, inâ€" jections of small quantities of it are made into the skin to "desensitize" the individual. These injections, or givâ€" ing small quantitiss of the offending fcod, may so arouse or develop reâ€" sistance to the substance that the inâ€" dividual is finally made free of all symptoms. His body or constitution has been changed. Although the individual has this tendency, he will not acquire the disâ€" ease or symptoms unless he comes in contact with the substance or subâ€" stances to which he is sensitiveâ€"foods he cats pollen and other things he breathes into his nos> and throat, and things he touches with his hands. Certain drugs also may cause the sympâ€" toms. Fortunately, however, it is not inâ€" herited by all the children, somgetimes cnly one in a family of children inâ€" Rheriting this allergic tendency. . The tendency to these disesasseâ€"hay fever, asthema, eczsmaâ€"is inherited, but not tlhhe disease itself. Thus the grandparâ€" ent may have asthma, the parent hay fever, and the grandchildren eczema. "One may be sensitive to feathi>rs, the next to ragwsed psolen,, and the next to the whites of eggs. And yet all thhsse individuals have the one common condition or characteristicâ€"the ability to become sensitized or allergic." In Hay Fever, Asthma, and Eczema, the Tendency Not the Disease is Inherited is now generally agreed that both herdity and surroundings or circumâ€" stano:s determine our character and dispssition, although the exact proporâ€" tion of each will never likely be known. There is one condition in life howâ€" ever that is believed to b> always inâ€" herited and that is what is called alâ€" lergyâ€"sensitiveness or overâ€"sensitiveâ€" ness to various substanc>»s such as fcods, pollen of plants, fur, feathers, and others. These substances are harmless or caluse no symptoms in perâ€" haps 98 or 99 of every 100 individuals, but in the one or two cas>s in the hundred these individuals after eating Jar coming in contact with one of these substances may have any one of the fcllowingâ€"urticaria â€" (hives), eczema, asthma, hay f>ver, head colds, stomach and intestinal upsets, or migraine (oneâ€" sided headache). These substances actually poison these "allergic‘ individuals and as the rest of us eat or breathe in these same substances without having these sympâ€" toms, it means that there is something about these allergic individuals that is different from us; that is, there is somsthing different in their bodies. And this ‘difference‘ is inherited as most of these individuals, when closely quesâ€" tioned, state that one or both of their parents wen> affected.

These weeds are a particular nuisance because their tall seed heads, shown in the Gardenâ€"Graph lay down as the lawn mower passes over them and then spring upright again. s The hest method of ridding a lawn of buckhorn is to pull_each plant by hand when the ground is soft after a rain. Large areas may be treated by pilercing each plant to the root with a pointed stick the point of wihiitch has been dipped in sulphuric or carbolic acid. All lawns should receive an applicaâ€" tion of complete fertilizer this month. But to fertilize a lawn that is full of weeds is a waste of money, therefore clean the weeds out of the lawn before feeding it. The fertilizer will stimulate the grass to thick growth, which in turn will cover over the gaps where weeds have been pulled. If, of course, a large area of bare ground is left where big batches of weeds have been pulled or dug out, then such spo‘s should be reseeded. ALBERT COLLEGE Principal and Head Master Rev.
