As this now stands by legislation the maximum amount a widowed mother with son serving in the Active Forces can reâ€" ceive is $20.00, and in dozens of cases this is cut to the minimum of $10.00.

One delegate quoted ‘a case of a common law wife living near a vidowed mother whose son, her sole support, was overseas. The one woman receives full allowance of $35.00. and the widowed mother $15.00. The deleâ€" gates to the Provincial convention were urged by those present at the meeting at Cochrane to make a strong stand in regard to this matter.

Peggy was horribly nervous, but it was a large party, and she contrived to be very much in the backgroundâ€"a woman with duties to do. It was clear that he had no susâ€" picion of her real identity, but she sighed with relief when at last it was over and she was able to go to bed. * It was three days afterwards that Peggy, breakfasting alone, read the first newspapers she had seen for two days. A head line took her eye, beâ€" cause it contained the words "Cat Burâ€" glar.‘" She began to read. "What luck!" thought Peggy with an inward shiver. It concerned a burglary at Wimâ€" bledon on Christmas Eve, in which the intruder was caught by the son ‘of the house.

Isobel, whom she had lost, was foundâ€"she had a sister again. At Sloan st. she rang up Mr. Meakin and made an appoinment.

"The arrested man gave the name Johnston, but the police believed he is Leonard Mason, who is wanted in conâ€" nection with several suspected robâ€" beries." § "Who are you, pleaseâ€"and what do you want?" she. echoed.

Peggy‘s answer was to kiss her sister again. Isobel had had a bitter lesâ€" son, but she had taken it to heart. "I can do quite a lotâ€"at least, I can try," said Peggy, with determination. "You had no idea what he was when you married him, Isobel?" said Peggy, when her sister became normal again and showed a desire to talk of her husband. to business, and Peggy told the above all to get news of John Arkâ€" wright. Peggy told â€" Mr. Meakin of the reappearance of Edgar and, for the first time since she had known him, saw her old friend really angry. "The man is hopeless," he said ‘sternâ€" ly. Of course he is looking for a rich wife and, if he finds one, her money will go down the sink with the rest." "Toâ€"day it‘s snowing," Peggy wrote to Olive from Pontresina.
