cruise aboard his yacht they went out on the terrace from which they could see the har bour and the lights of the town the moonlight shone on the white wails of the closebuilt houses of the town but a bank cf cloud showed on the horizon of the sea in a line of dark joan wandered away from iern afraid of talking any more to cap tain ancett though she was asham ed of owing to the will of hannen hanncn came to her side he seemed quite at ease again explaining to her casually the meaning of the great door studded with brass nails which they could see in the house below when you see a door like that you know that a rich man lives in the house the rest of it may look like a brokendown prison the door always indicates the status of the owner the more elaborate the door is the wealthier the owner must be they never seem to open those dcors either i often wonder if one got behind one of them whether one would ever come out how horrid said joan with a laugh and a shudder how frightened you are of cap tivity he said mockingly glancing round she saw with a star of surprise that the others hail left them the terrace was empty where is maude and captain ancett she asked anxiously he has taken her back to the yacht he had to go we cant leave ths corsair for the men to manage with the wind getting up like this your sister was anxious to get back to the ship before the harbour gets any choppier and so she went with him but how how will we get bad joan enquired faintly ancett is sending the launch back with one cf the hands then as the mutter of the launch engine came from the harbour there they go now he said learning faintly in the moonlight they saw th launch shoot out from the quay with the wake streaming silvery behind it im harmless joan would have felt inclined to laugh at the consummate ease with which he had got rid of maude and captain ancett in the two or three minutes she had spent in looking over the end of the terrace had it not been for her nervousness at be ing left alone on shore with him why didnt we go with them she said no need ancett can look after the boat he replied lets get a car and drive out of the town wouldnt you like to see the desert by moonlight suddenly feeling that frankness perhaps was best joan said quietly and appealingly i would id adore to but you see im rather afraid of going with you frightened of me but ill be have he said with a smile im utterly harmless for tonight she looked at him with great troubled eyes so searchingly and appealingly that he suddenly put his hand not touching her but shielding her eyes so that they could not look at him dont he said and quietly clos ing his hand on her arm drew her away towards the hotel a few minutes later a car was drawn up outside the hotel joan and hannen got into it and the chauffeur drove them away the moorish inhabitants still loitered in the streets between the moonlitt walls everywhere were moorish arch es they passed a moorish cemetery a market place that creeping plant to be seen so often climbing dimly over the stones was climbing geran ium by daylight scarlet with flow ers hannen told joan they went on and out of the town and soon they were in a queer burntup patched with the shadows of the clouds which were driving across the moon true to his word hannen was the most gentle and formal of men but being with her he found it difficult to talk of jndiffercnt matters and persuaded her to talk about her earlier life with miss la fontaine did you think that she had to teach me to walk talk and eat all over again said joan with a laugh in reply to one of his ques tions no she adopted me when i was five so apart from a little coaching in the matter of speech so long ago that i can hardly remem ber it i never had any real tuition in the art of being a lady i just picked it up from her no one could have had a happier childhood than i had with georgina thats the one thing for which i envy a great many people han nen said a happy childhood do you but you oh 1 know born with a silver spoon in my mouth of course the heir to millions and so on you were brought up by oour uncle werent you i was told somebody once told me that he was frightfully strict with you he larrupped every scrap of conscience out of me a child mr and mrs william wilding of spring- gardens preston eng have between them a total of nine mar riages he is 79 has had five wives she is a year younger and has been married four times they live on so a week their oldage pensions neither has been divorced mr wilding said to a sunday ex press representative i first

has been the best i replied the first was a good one the second was a good one and the third was a good one this is my fourth and she is the best be cause she is still here if they asked me that now i would answer in the same way mrs wilding said she had had good husbands and bad husbands but she never had to leave one of them she added once when i was young a fortuneteller read my band and said i would be married four 01- five times i laughed but she wasnt far wrong between them mr and mrs wild ing have had 10 children every day living a weekly tonic by dr m m lappin how much sleep a

than two decades ago was turn ed down five times before it was fin ally accepted by the publishers mrs l m montgomery macdonald the author said in a lecture here dont he discouraged it your stories arent accepted the noted canadian author told her audience a large part of it young girls as sembled under the auspices of the border council of the home and school association anne of green gables was rejected five limes she continued i put tiie manuscript away in the attic a couple of years later while housecleaning 1 found it and sat down and road it i found it interesting so i thought there must be something to it so i sent it to the page company ot boston they accepted it only be- causo a girl on their staff of readers came from prince edward island and she bulldozed them into it lucy maud montgomery to use her pen name suggcster that all young peope should form the habit of noting in books any experiences and stories they hear from older persons such notations perhaps in later years would form real material for books if those in possession of them develop a desire to write that terrible affliction of insomauia she is a victim of nerves she tells me and only gets on an average about four hours sleep nightly for ever a time she took something to produce sleep each night but now the drug seems to have lost its effect she is wondering whether she can get some drug that will be permanently effec tive or if she should just try to carry on with what little sleep she can get without the use o drags well 1 question very much if the amount of sleep one gets is just as important as we have sometimes been led to believe it is i am certainly not in favor of the use of drugs or sleep ing powders unless these have de finitely been prescribed for the indi vidual by the doctor and here i must remind my readers again that my field is psychology and not medicine i cannot undertake to give medical advice nor am 1 qualified so to do i can only deal with physical dis order when it is evident that such physical disorder is the outcome of mental disorganisation of course mind and body are closely interre lated and it is surprising how many physical disorders are due to the lack ot straight positive and constructive thinking there are really very few people who have been trained to think properly and it is this fact that gives rise for the need of the psychologist and what service he can render now then to come back to this matter of sleep there are some folks who can get along nicely on much less sleep than others of course there is nothing perhaps that is more trouble some and annoying than to lie awake for hours in the night with the mind running riot someone has aptly called those hours of wakefulness the cruel hours natalie carr hates noise and clamor of new york life new york natalie carr youth ful heiress home after two years in a quebec convent where within a tow years she could have tsken final vows to become a nun hates the noise and clamor of new york life life in the outside world is cry strange the former yassar college student said i cannot welcome this change i am very undecided about whe ther i shall return to the convent 1 cant truly say natalies grandmother mrs hal- lio a weldon prevailed upon her to leave the convent at st llyacinthe and try to live in tho outside world again the girl indicated mrs weldon has asertcd her hope her granddaughter becomes reconcil ed to a life in the world but if a religious life is her vocation i shall not stand in her way let it be remembered however that the mind is only half awake dur ing those hours one should therefore not be unduly disturbed by the wild thoughts which rush through the mind in quick succession during such sleepless hours it when morning comes we go forth to the day with the thoughts of our sleepless hours haunt ing us then they will most certainly produce fear and terror and they will rob us of the vim and vitality neces sary to a successful days work so it you cannot sleep dont lie worry ing do not deliberately review men tally everything that has happened during the day do not allow the mind 0 contemplate the things of to morrow or the following days dis miss instantly every dull and drab thought that enters the mind think only of the pleasantries of life i believe sleep can be invoked in fact i know it can one should be active enough during the day to be just tired enough at night to sleep overtiredness is likely to produce restlessness go to bed then before you are overtired the bedroom should be airy and it should it at all possible be in the quietest part ot the house it is better not to have the sheets and blankets tightly tucked around oneself they should rather be oversized so that they can be loose enough to allow the sleeper to move unhampered in his sleep its foolish to imagine that you do not move in your sleep everyone does and a great many times too when you get into bed relax every nervo and every muscle get into a comfortable position as far as you can rid the mind of everything try to imagine yourself enjoying a most pleasant and refreshing sleep sug gest to yourself the need of sleep and tho ability to sleep and if you do these things with a little determina tion you will probably be surprised at the results the chances are that you will get enough sleep to carry you through from day to day so what ever else you do dont worry brought up like that joan wants to get his own back on the world hell damn well take what he wants when he finds himself strong enough to do it so if you find me less amen able

day but perhaps the family will appre ciate a change in the stuffing the experienced housewife has learned that there is a difference in turkeys as far as being palatable and many points need to he considered in the selection of the bird it is well to choose the turkey at least a week before it is needed for consumption it is easy to pick out the young bird by its smooth black legs moist and supple feet and eyes that ay clear and free of scaly surroundings the hen bird is as a rule mcro plump and tender than the male bird on a young bird the spurs arc short and stumpy on an old bird they are long and gain in sharp ness as the age increases perhaps the christmas host vhos privilege it will be to carve the tur key needs his memory freshened up a bit its surely an art any man may be proud of to neatly and skil fully carve a roasted bird the placing of the turkey on the table is important the head should be toward the left hand of the carv er this brings the drumsticks to the right and the side of the bird directly in front of the carver insert the fork firmly over the breast bone at the highest point do not remove the fork until the carv ing is done first remove the whole leg thigh and drumstick in one piece to do this make a circular cut around the joint close to the body with the blade of the knife press the leg back and cut through the ligaments hold ing the thigh bon to the back a quick twist of the knife easily severs the joint however if you want to its perfectly proper to hold the end of the drumstick cov ered with a paper frill firmly with the fingers of the left hand then a quick gash of the skin between the body and thigh a little tweek with the finger and a downward cut with the knife arid the leg is neatly and expeditiously carved the two joints of the leg repose on the plat ter while the wing is severed and the breast carved next remove the wing by making a circular cut arund the joint and pressing back with the knife just as the leg was done however the fingers cannct be used for the wing care should be taken not to cut any of the white meat of the breast with the wing place the wing en the platter now with the fork still in posi tion cut thin slices lengthwise from the breast beginning close to the place from which the wing was re moved and working up the ridge cf the breast hone now remove the fork and separate the drumstick from the second joint the dark meat on the thigh anil drumstick should be divided into small inviting portions the wing is divided in two parts the stuffing is taken out from the tail end of the bird
