6 THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE ONT. THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1935 Lady Duff - Gordon Is Dead Famous Dress-Designer Known As "Lucile" Was a Sister Of Elinor Glyn, The Novelist--They Were Born In Canada, Daughters Of The Late Douglas Sutherland, Of London Ontario. THE TUDOR HOUSE By MRS. STANLEY WRENCH (Author of "SJig for the Moon," Strange Lovers,:' etc). Bending, this time she laid her hands over his, her eyes blinded with sudden tears, as she noticed how the skin was stretched o knuckles, and saw the patches of grey behind his ears. "My dear," she whispered, "there is so much to tell you, so much to explain, and I scarcely know where to begin." Her warm hands pressed his, he felt new life run through him. was no dream. Withdrawing his hands from hers, he pushed himself back a little in the invalid chair and looked up at her. She was older-looking, too, there were shadows beneath her eyes; there was a seriousness, a tenseness, that had never been there before, but when she smiled he held up his arms, and the next moment she had laid her lips "You haven't said yet you forgive me, Michael," she said. "Forgive . . . who am I to forgive?" he said. "It's I who should ask forgiveness, my dear." Then in a few quick sentences she told him of Denis Birch's confession, the letter that had never reached her; and he in turn related the tryst he kept, the accident, and his meeting with Diana Hamil!-Hardy, and there his eyes grew hard. "I've been a fool, Daphne, and worse, but through it all I know now I never stopped loving you," he told her. "I tried to forget, some times I believe I managed to forget for a little while, and then something-would happen, or you'd come slipping back to me in dreams . She saw his face change, shadows creep back to his e; kissed him again. He had remembered Werburge Lucy. Now the house was his no longer. To-morrow the documents would be signed that would dispose of it elsewhere; he would not he able to go there again except as a visitor. "There's one thing I must tell you, Daphne," he said. "When I met you I was a rich man. Well, that's over, my dear. "I've lost my money, how much I hardly know yet, but I've been an awful fool, and messed things up pretty badly. Multi-Motors nearly crashed through my stupidity and lack of judgment. I've always prided myself on keeping my head; it's been a one-man business with everybody owning a spoke in it, everybody who worked for me had a say in it, and a share. .Well, I nearly let the whole lot down, Daphne." He was stroking her hair then, and did not see her smile, but somehow he imagined her heart was beating a little more quickly. FOR FAST RELIEF FROM PAIN All Druggists Have It An Aspirin tablet starts disintegrating as soon as it touches moisture. That means that Aspirin starts "taking hold" . . . eases even a bad headache, neuritis or rheumatic pain almost instantly. And Aspirin is safe. Doctors prescribe it. For Aspirin does not harm the heart. Be sure to look for the name Bayer in the form of a cross on every Aspirin tablet. Aspirin is made in Canada and all druggists have it. Demand and Get ASPIRIN "To cut a long story short Daphne, I'm a comparatively poor man today," he said. "I'm not ruined, thanks to the way our chaps have pulled together lately; I owe a lot to my firm, decent fellows they are; the team work they have done lately has been marvellous. But it means that for some years yet I shall have to be careful. I . . ." he hesitated. "You know I bought Werburge Lucy, Daphne? I loved that house, every stone there . . . I can't explain what it meant to "I know," she said softly. "Yes, Michael, I know." He bit his lips for a second. "live had to part with it my dear," he said. "Dare not lock the money up, it was needed to carry on Multi-Motors. So you see, Daphne . . " He waited. She lifted her head, and he saw she was smiling. "You can just see it from here, Michael, can't you?" she said. "Yes, I remember, because ... oh, my dear, I looked down there so many times and thought of you ..." She held his hand more tightly. There were the twisted chimneys, and by the time the beechs had faded, and trees were bare again, they would be able to look down and see the whole of the grey Tudor House. "I've always loved it, too," she said softly. "And now, Michael, I've things to confess as well." "Yes?" he said, and smiled up at her, for she waited. "You don't mean that you got engaged to another man, Daphne?" Smiling she shook her head, and then her eyes grew serious. "It's about Werburge Lucy, Michael," she said. "You've sold it, you say. Do you know who has bought "Not until to-morrow. My solicitors were down to-day, and they will let me know to-mon-ow. The" man wanted the affair kept quiet until after to-day. To-morrow ..." "To-morrow it will be ours . . . for ever and ever and a day," she said. "I said I had things to confess, Michael. . . now listen." But was there need with her eyes like stars? Together they looked house. Blue smoke rose slowly, ing upwards "I've told Barton he may expect us . . . home soon, Michael," whispered, and her cheeks were rose-red. "You won't think me terribly modern and tell me I've usurped your privileges ..." He drew her down and kissed her 'The dream come true. I've want-a home all my life, but I never knew I could find it till I met you," said. "Now go on tell me the rest. . ." But Michael Borde laughed happily. "Don't hurry, Daphne, we've got i rest of our lives for its telling," he said. "Look," and he pointed to the smoke rising higher, "It's a fine day to-morrow. I don't what the doctors say. Tomorrow you and I will go home." THE END London--Lucy Lady Duff-Gordon, who as an internationally famous dressmaker gave the world the merry widow hat before the world war, died recently. She was a sister of the novelist Elinor Glyn. Lady Duff-Gordon was 71. She had been in retirement for years. She founded the firm of society dressmakers, Lucile. She was well known in the United States. Lady Duff-Gordon was the forerunner of the dress designers of today. She emancipated the women of London from the woolen stockings and flannel undergarments of th« Victorian era and substituted glamorous chiffons and silks. She coined the word "chic" as it related clothes, created the split skirt comfort, and was the first to stage a mannequin show. In her time she achieved the most noted clientele of any designer. Queen Mary and the Duchess of York among her customers and so such famous actresses as Sarah Bernhardt, Ellen Terry, Gaby Desly and Lilie Langtry. But while as "Lucile" she was ai acknowledged genius of dress design she had considerably less success business. She was in bankruptcy 2 and several times was sued for various sums. She once told a recorder in bankruptcy that she did not know what a "share" was when he asked concerning her shareholdings. Perhaps the most sensational incident in which Lady Duff-Gordon figured was the sinking of the Titantic on which she was a passenger with her husband, Sir Cosmo. A special commission in London investigated charges that they were among 12 persons who were rescued in a lifeboat built for 34. It was charged Sir Casmo objected Lady Duff-Gordon was born ir London, Ont. Her father was Douglas Sutherland. In 1900 she married Sir Cosmo after the death of her first husband, James Wallace. Cosjno died i 1931. ing i i persons ; the boat for fear of endangering those already It was said he gave each member of the crew a $5 note after they were taken off by a steamship. The court exonerated Sir Cosmo. Vancouver Votes To Lower Tax Rate Vancouver--The City Council re cently voted to reduce Vancouver' 1935 tax rate by two mills, bringing the levy down from 39.88 mills t< 37.88 mills. The reduction, asked in a resolu tion by Alderman W. W. Smith ai the request of Mayor G. G. McGeer, will lop $501,189 off civic revenue, but Mayor McGeer said he expects the city will benefit through more prompt payment by taxpayers under the reduced rate. Aid. A. G. Harvey opposed the reduction, declaring that it would make little difference to the small taxpayer, but would make considerable to the large property owner. NO WORD WASTAGE. An affable English tourist came _>on an ancient grave-digger in a Scottish churchyard, and, anxious to sociable, remarked: "I suppose things are very quiet here?" "Not so quiet as them there," was the discouraging answer. Unabashed, the Englishman trieo another. "Yes, indeed," he said, but I suppose people do not die often here?"

"So far we have had a very large degree of success in the treatment of dogs, monkeys and other animals," he said.

Roosevelt said recently, women were showing great ingenuity in solving depression problems. Among her 2,000 weekly letters, however, there is an increasing proportion from "white collar" women seeking help on individual problems rather than just any kind of a job. "While there is a decrease in the number of people who want jobs, there is a change," Mrs. Roosevelt said. "Their problems cannot be fitted easily into categories because the individual requests are more for some specific thing that will help them get back on their feet, s way to carry on a business they have started, or help them get something they need on the farm, or find ways to educate their children. To many of them, these things seem the last jump over their difficulties." Each request is investigated, she said, and some way usually is found to aid those who really- need it.
