"Dear boy, I am going to motor through old age-- motor, with the wind in my face No," her eyes lighting up again with their inimitable humor, "No, I shan't get te the end of the road any sooner for I'm going a round-about way!" It was a hpppy birthday to Grand- mums. She fell in love with her girl's man. "Why didn't you ask me to marry you instead of Philippa? I'd have jumped at the chance," laughed Grandmums, plying him with cooling drinks and having a beautiful time. She was in & queer garment of blue jeans and a little smudge of black over one eyebrow gave her a saucy appearance. She had been turning down the grease cups on her little car, "Yes, I take care of her myself, » she nodded in answer to the unasked question on Luther's face. "I don't trust anybody else. Guess you didn't hear me before you got up. I drove down to Ephe Legget's for gas-- we'll want a lot to-day." Her gaze rested joyously on her lovely gifts. "I shall ride all over town to show off. See if I don't!" The next day Philippa appeared, her lively young face subdued to ap- propriate gentleness. Grandmums met her at the station and a petrified speechless Philippa rode back beside her in the natty little car. To Luther, waiting joyously, the picture sudden- ly dssumed pathos. Poor Philippa! Her illusions had been so tender and sweet. She had been ruthlessly rob- bed of a dear declining Grandmums. "Don't speak to me," whispered Philippa as she descended into Luth- er's arms. "Take me out of sight somewhere and kiss me, I need it. Oh, yes, of course I'll laugh when I get my breath--of ¢ourse Tll like 'it, but I've got to have time," Out of sight, between kisses, Luth- er remembered something with an awful jolt; Philippa's birthday! "Dear," he said with anxiety temp- ered with twinkles, "I'm afraid you won't. like what I've got for your birthday but it's the best I can do. It's--it's an Invalid Table and a Foot-warm----" Philippa got her breath then. They laughed together in each other's arms in joyous abandon while Table and Warmer reclined peacefully un- der the lilacs. (The End.) mt t-- 3 Queen. Mary is Colonel in Chief.

This will give employment to returned soldiers and to the many thousands who were formerly in munition-making and other war work, Women who realize that every dol- lar sent out of 'the country for those things which can be produced at home adversely affects the financial situation. We have already pur chased so heavily from abroad dur- ing the four years of war that the financial position is critical. . Canada has to remit to foreign countries a sum of well over half a million dollars a day merely to pay our indebtedness abroad. In our total, household purchases figure very largely. As the women! of Canada buy about 90 per cent. of all that is used in domestic life, the first thing towards relieving and safeguarding the situation ig their grasp of this all-essential fact, When that is once clearly understood they. will gladly, as they did in food con- trol, bring about a reform. # For every million dollars retained in Canada "BY A REFUSAL TO BUY OTHER THAN CANADIAN GOODS, a year's unbroken employ- ment can be given to at least 1,000 people. The Canadian Trade Commission is by every means encouraging Cana- dian manufacturers to make the words, "Made in Cantda," worthy of the highest traditions of an indus- trial people. That standard has al- ready largely been reached in our agricultural products. Now we must turn to the best ac- count the work of Canadians inthe factory as well as in the field. Now we must induce. our people in city and country to make at home and to produce. at-home the things we need for. our.own use and comfort: Large "quantities of goods which are of particular interest to women have been for years imported into the Dominion, when many of them would have been, had we known what could be effected by patriotic co-op- eration such as marked war work] © manufactured or grown within our own border. The one outstanding thing for our national financial bet- terment is that we at once CHECK THE FLOW OF MONEY OUT- WARDS, and that we do everything possible to. TURN. THE STREAM OF MONEY INWARDS to Canada. That is, we must spend less abroad; we must sell 'more abroad. The following list, taken from of- ficial returns, is only a partial com- pilation of the many hundreds of things more which we annually im- port from the United States, and which, with a determined effort and the co-operative good-will, without the further use of fiscal machinery, could be largely removed from the debit side of our national bookkeep- ing.

Truly good school ners are said to cone from the inside out, and timeé has not truth of this assertion. If 'you are 'a self-centred person 'you must be extremely clever in order to keep people from looking beneath) the cover. However, if you are thoughtful of others, the habit will grow with the least little bit of en- couragement, 'and this is half the battle. Observation ds the other half, and" even if it is tagged with the term "knocking" a little criticisnt of other people's manners will help you to dvoid 'the same pitfalls yourself. 'The knocking may be done inwardly 'just-as well as outwardly. Imitation is usually a bad way to gé about things, but observing some person whose manners you approve will be another way to go about things. Table manners are 'really much casier to acquire than might be. sup- posed. You have only to feel 'that you can look well while eating and}. it improves matters at .once. This gentle art of constantly feeling that you don't make such a bad picture, after all, is really the best and thé simplest way of all. It can be prac- ticed at all times, but should never be carried to the point where it ap- proaches self-consciousness. Mannerisms are, of course, to be avoided. The person who does every- thing possible to attract attention is tiresome to look at and usually more tiresome to listen to. A loud or strident voice is wearying to listen to, and one too low is almost as bad, for the hearer has to strain attention' in order said. If we could only hear ourselves as others do, it would be: of almost as much ald as to see ourselves as others see us. ~ Using White Enamel.
