explained to philip ardeyne his funny name is hector augustus gaunt and hes invited us to lunch not really ardeynes eyes shone not the gaunt yes said mrs camay i believe he is the gaunt was he one of your childhoods heroes i should rather think so the doc- tor replied i say its awfully kind the living- of you to include me in this are you isure quite said mrs camay mr an old rule of my childhood h

mused sewing or painting worth doing at all it is worth doing iclined to difj fer with him he said you will findj when jhey jndulgjb in paper cutting well when we were that a task half done or a makeshift of some kind is never wholly satis factory and isnt it surprising how long that temporary shelf has lasted that was put up in place of the neat- looking cupboard you intended and how poorly it continues to serve your needs somehow there never has been time to pull out those nails that were put up behind the door to serve until you could get some nonrustable hooks only last week a too hasty tug put a threecornered tear in a good slicker hanging there it does look as though all the other buildings on the farm would need repairing be fore that unsightly temporary shed showed any signs of falling to pieces it really would be better before we spent money on the various devices which keep doors shut without bang ing which nevertheless continue to stay open or bang to teach the mem bers of the family to close the door gently if this is impossible let us make the effort to get the money for a really noiseless sureshut door closer or let the door bang and think about something else this is the way i feel about many of our household devices they do serve our immediate purpose but at the same time they often serve to cover up the real cause of the trouble and merely put off the day when it will have to be cured a little less consideration for the easing of our immediate discomforts and a little more in discovering and correcting the first causes of those troubles will do more to solve our problems especially for the future housewives than all the latest models in floor mops and window cleaners ruth lovejoy converted bedroom into bathroom i have several conveniences in

each other those two it was turning out as jean camay had hoped and prayed for there was so much in philip ar deyne besides the mere good looks of which he possessed a little more than his share perhaps it was his im mense vitality which had appealed to mrs camay in the first place he looked as though ha had never suf fered a days illness in his lifo nor was likely to do so he was a longlimbed fellow and walked like the wind he had dark hair with the merest touch of silver at the temples grey eyes and a merry laugh one had to stop and think soap is good for washable material for

approached her fears in creased perhaps she had been fool ish perhaps philip ardeyne was just the one man in the world who should have been kept out of alices way it was tho evening before their pro posed excursion to monte nero that the doctor with refreshing old- fashioned courtesy begged mrs car- nays permission to ask alice to marry him he told jean all about himself with an anxiety which was almost boyish and seemed to think that tho opportunity to become a harley street specialists wife could scarcely be con sidered a treat for any girl more especially for a girl like alice mrs camay on her part confessed their own poverty my husband was a major in tho indian army she said and we have very little besides my pension very little indeed then flushing becomingly and in her pretty manner of nervousness punctuated with fluttering smiles and an occasional dab at her eyes with a wisp of a handkerchief sho went even more deeply into the story of their privations tolling philip ardeyne that even this holiday was moro or less of a pretence not to say fraud how many years she had taken to savo for it sho could not quite say but she had wanted just one happy hour for alice so that whatever befoll tho child would have something pleasant to remember dr ardeyne was deeply touched by tho pathetic narrative if anything were needed to fan the flame of his tho pattern is cut in 4

breaking of tho fabric dinner she developed a sudden weari fto supply she had herown sen of excitement tomorrow she would see hector augustus gaunt again and she wondered what he would be like and if ho would find her much chang ed ah indeed there- must be a great change sho had only been eighteen or thereabouts when she lived at the villa tatina as old mine doustes companion what a wonderful night it was riviera night for lovers such a3 she well remembered with a silvergold moon riding high making a glittering pathway across the sea to corsica with whispering among the leaves of the tall palmtrees with tho scent of oranges and lemons lavender and mimosa this was alices hour mrs car- nay stepped out on to the balcony which led from tho little sittingroom and breathed a fervent prayer for the happiness of her daughter with a husband like philip ardeyne alice would be safe god keep her safe al ways and happy surely this mis takes of the mother should not shadow a girls life no no no i it was all dead and buried a thousand years ago hugo too was safe jean car- nay shivered the night air was cold lucky dr ardeyne had thought of fetching alices cloak of course he would take care of her now andj always j but jean camay had to think for i herself for there was no one just at the moment to remind her that she might be caught by a chill on the bal cony no love to warm the blood in her veins so wisely she came in when she switched on the table lamp she found a letter which had come by the last post the sight of which caused her heart to skip a beat it was from christopher smarle her husbands cousin the solicitor who looked after her affairs christophers i letters were few and far between but i they never failed to cause her a mo mentary flutter of apprehension chris topher invariably mentioned hugo ho perhaps conceived it his duty to remind her if only by a brief bulletin on hugos health that the latter was not quite so dead not quite so deeply and irrevocably buried as the suppos ed widow would like to believe one could if one chose visit hugo chris topher smarle took advantage of that sorry pleasure as often as it was per mitted there never was such a man for duty mrs camay opened the rather bulky envelope as a rule his letters were not nearly so fat as this one it contained an enclosure a letter from somebody else and jean read the enclosure first there was an unreality about it an uncanny qual ity that made her flesh creep her eyes grew large with horror oh heaven be kind what was this 1 from the home office an official communi cation sent in care of christopher smarle and opened by him but origin ally addressed to her that is address ed to mrs h r smarle a name which mrs camay had half forgot ten that she ever possessed that in deed she still

write to tho pension in florence that ho him self had gono down to broadmoor to meet hugo that hugo was quite a nor- imai being now and most anxious to see her tho smarles naturally felt i that his placo was with his wife and j daughter who would of course bo rejoiced at this piece of good news so keenly did they feel about tho re union that they had scraped together a hundred pounds with which to en able hugo to rejoin his wife and enjoy a holiday with her christopher him- j self had seen to hugos passports and bought his ticket- to be continued try that salt cure the human body is a marvellously adaptable organism but few people would be willing to make in person the experiment described at a recent meet ing of the institution of mining en gineers in order to show how the living

the man watched this cooking in the heat without him self showing any discomfort with reference to cramp and fatigue caused by working in hot dry places it was stated that these could be cured by
