Towo_ experiences to me, I can quite under- stand why she dislikes noisy people. She further states that she is at present troubled with the noise of neighbors. They go out and in at all hours of the night and day, with- out a thought for anyone apparent- ly but themselves. Talking loudly, slamming doors, prancing heavily along the corridors, of keeping ra dios go full blast into the small liours of the morning. "I get little sympathy," complains niy correspondent. "I am always trying myself to be quiet and con- siderate of other people's comfort, and would never think of entering a house late at night, tramping through a hall and slamming doors. I consider it very bad manners agd a mean and selfish thing to do." In that last sentence I feel my- .sclf almost in agreement with her. If folks would only think about these seeming little things, they v.ould bo more considerate of others But they dont think, and thought- lessness is very often the parent of uncon clous sellishness. We live in a world of noise. In- deed, there is so much noise in the world that civic and other public bodies here and there feel that sometliing ought to be done about it. In \ew York City, for example, a movement to eliminate noise was sponsored recently by the Mayor of tliat city. But there seems to be so little that can really be done o elim- inate noise. We cannot e.xpect or hope to eliminate it altogether. My own opinion is that, if we could only get men and women to take a little more tliought for others, that would go a long way. There is so much noLse that will always be necessary that we should try to eliminate all that is unnecessai-y. After all, if we must be out late at night, we need not let the whole neighborhood know about it. And if we do want to listen to some late programme on the radio, there is surely no need to keep the radio at full blast. We can tone it down, and radios are so well constructed today that it is an easy matter to tone down so that the programme may be hoard quite clearly within the room without disurbing anyone without. If only we would try to be a little more considerate of the otiier fellow, how much more pleas- ant life would be for all of us. On the other hand, I feel that 'per- haps my correspondent is somewhat sen.-'itive. It may be that she is of a nervous temperament and easily disturbed. Or, perhaps she is among so much noi.se during the day that she longs for the quiet of the even- ing and night and, when she does not get that quiet, she feels that more disturbed. There are many who will know how to sympathise with her. I be!ie%-e we can school ourselves to such a pitch that ttiese things will not trouble us.

Presenly she was washing fen-ently that she had yield- ed, and as the day wore on abundant reasons were provided for wishing so, apart from her own personal and private feelings. Milton Medlicott asked for Dan as soon as he arrived; and at inter- vals repeated the demand. Cairns was also ca^or to get in touch with the ab.scnt man; and to him, as to her employe)-, Eve had to offer the explanation that Dan had gone away without giving any information about his movements. Then the London Press developed a deep interest in Jlr. Daniel Pres- cott; and to Eve, as Dan's secretary, each new reporter was referred for information. There was nothing to be said, except that Mr. Prescott could not be seen; and that bald statement, Eve felt, was calculated to highlen the bad impression which already existed. Xe.xt came a telephone call from Australia, for Mr. Prescott and no- body else. The man speaking at the other end refused maddeningly to enter into the suggestion that he should state his business or give his name. lie cut Eve off in the middle of an anxious quest'on. The interest taken by the whole office staff in discovering Dan was maddening. Nobody made a direct referertce to Eve's responsibility for his absence; but she felt that they blame her. Even her friend Frankie seemed leas cordial than usual, and Eve sensed her disapproval. The at- mosphere of the office suggested that she alone, of the whole Medlicott organisation, had been mean enough and disloyal enough to turn upon a man just because he was down. It wag almost closing time when Medlicott referred directly to the cause of Dan's absence. "I expect you know something about it. Eve'.'" he said. "No; I don't expect you to discuss it with me. But Mrs. Medlicott would like you to take dinner with us, if you will." Eve's face probably portrayed the thought which at once came to her mind, for Medlicott added t|uickly: "I know what you are tliinking, but it isn't .-^o. We have no idea where he is. Dut my wife has some- thing in her mind, and would like to see you again, anyway." "I don't know why she should," Eve said, miserably. "I may as well tell you that Mr. Prescott went away hurt, because I told him that he had ceased to exist for me, out side business hour:." iMue No. 7 -^ '36 i-eading, it is possible to master the art of concentration to the extent that he can concentrate on his read- ing to the exclusion of all else. I know this to be true. Or, if it is a ease of trying to get to sleep, one can escape from the disturbing noises by suggesting to oneself the need for sleep and the ability to sleep. Sleep can be induced in spite of noise. Granted, it is not easy. One has to go in for some mental training and to learn the art of self- mastery. My advice to this correspondent is to try and not give way to her feelings. Perhaps her physician would prescribe a nerve tonic, but I rather think that what she should do is try to find a nice quiet locality in which to live and to go in for some kind of menial trivining that will enable her to adjust herself to her surrounding environmenl. Of course, one could always recoiiiniend iving in the country, but even the countryside is not always free from noise these days, ^ nd the necessity of having to earn a living has to be considered. I'm afraid that, apart from schooling oneself to paying no attention to noise, this is a problem '' which, for many people, will never be solved until we all learn to take ' thought for the other fellow.

It's no use waiting for Prescott any longer." "Have you tried his hotel?" Eve asked. Everything has been tried. He paid his bill at the hotel, and ar- ranged for some of his bags to be cared for. I'd like to know v hat he's up to." "Do you mean . . . .' Eve fal- tered. "Oh, he can't have run away, just when he ought to be facing it." "I hope not," Medlicott agreed. "Let it ride until tomorrow. Are you ready?" Mrs. Medlicott, languid, and smiling amiably, received Eva with every sign of gentle liking. "Come to my room and take off your tilings, my dear," she said. "You must be worn oui, working as you do at tliat old oflic-." She seemed quite untouched by the storm which was working havoc with the Medlicott organisation, and Eve was te more surprised when she had removed her hat and attended to her hair to liear her hostess say : â€" "Those men of ours seem to have made a real muddle of their affairs, don't they? You and I, my dear, must put our heads together and put things straight." "You mean â€" vour husband and andâ€" " "And your Dan Prescott. Yes, I know that you are done with him for ever, and all that sort of thing. And that shows me how much you care. You're jealous, Eve Gilchrist; and I don't blame you in a way. I know what it is to feel jealous myself." Beyond all pov er of speech. Eve stared helplessly at the gentle lady, whom she had not credited with much penetration or interest in anything except her own personal appearance. (To Be Continued) DON'T RISK F.V1LURES Magic.

In fact, if we use some of the screen stars as examples we discover that natural beauty doc-sn't have much to do with the elusive quality which all women want. Many an actress has achieved glamor and fascination for her public by emphasizing what might be called a bad feature or simply by playing up one good point. First of all, keep in mind that you have to stand out vividly as an in- dividual. You must be you â€" no copyhat tricks. Just because your best friend with the too-high fore- head has emphasized it and made herself look fascinating, don't go ahead and point up your own high forehead unless you are perfectly sure the effect will enhance -your allure. The best idea, of course, is to study your features â€" the bad ones as well as the good. Then learn how to make the most of the nicest one. If you have unusually large eyes, but a rather bad chin line, use a touch of mascara on your lashes and keep rouge well up on your cheek bones. If on the othei hand, you have a good mouth, but just average eyes, omit the mascara, use plenty of lip- stick and place rohge just below cheek bones. Women with beautiful hair should go in for attention-getting coiffures. Thick, luxurious locks blend them- selves well to halo braid effects. The beauty of a handsomely shaped head is emphasized by a plain, brushed- backward hairdress. A Book A book is a treasure, a treasure to prize. It is filled with new visions, each one a surprise. There's a new land to quest in â€" a snug nook to rest in. Beneath smiling skies. There's a maid and her lo\er, there's a villain, a rogue â€" There's sometimes a Dutclinian, or a "Pat" with his brogue. There's a (lueen, thei-e's a king, there's a nursemaid, a cook.

Farmer (Thomas Nelson and Sons, Ltd.) $2.00 is the story of one Peter Cochrane, ambitious young Briton emigrating to Canada. There have been few good novels about Canadians who comprise sev- enty per cent, of the population â€" tiie farm and rural people and the mass of "Shirtsleeve" city workers. Admittedly a number of books have been written about farm life â€" although real farmers often have some diflSculty in recognizing them- selves. This new novel by Bernard J. Farmer should be greeted with a warm welcome as it shows accurate- ly, yet poignantly in simple, unpre- tentious prose, the experiences of a young man, fresh from the Old Country, tossed into the whirlpool of "unskilled labour" before he is able to land on his feet. Ontario readers will find it en- lightening â€" the manner in which the unskilled workman obtains a The Book Shelf BY MAIR M. .MORGAN â-  iiaii;:.a![::;aiii:;ai:::a!:TB!.i.Bu:ai;i\B[..:Bi::.aii:i:ai, ' â-  daily sub.sistence. The hero of "G« West, Young Man" labours on rail- way section crews, sells silk stock- ings from door to door in Winnipeg, works on construction gangs and mines in Ontario. He often starves, is often down but never out, and in the end achieves contentment in a modest job, with a happy, contented wife as his partner. Many of the in- cidents come from the personal ex- perience of the autlior â€" and many Old Country folk will recogniz* some of the difficulties that they too encountered during the first years of taking root in a new country.

In the instance of Robert Louis Stevenson, it remains a moot point whether his love for his old nurse "Ciunmy" (.Alison Cunningham) did not pass that deep natural affection for his own mother. The auction room may be held to give supporting evidence. Recently at Sotheby's (London) Stevenson's "Child's Ganlon of Verse," 1885 (de- dicated to his old nanny), which he had inscribed to his mother, "M, I. Stevenson from her loving son, the author," was purchased by Mr. Ern- est Maggs for 330 pounds. A very good price indeed, but let it be re- called that, in the Kern sale, New York, six years ago. the copy which Stevenson had given to his old nurse realized 1,700 pounds. It must be borne in mind, how- ever, that this well-thumbed copy was accompanied by a wonderful let- ter, in which Stevenson explained to his mother why he had dedicated the volume of his childhood's verses to his old nurse. Tlie "family" had been a bit annoyed by this preference. Let Stevenson's letter speak for it- self: "1 stick to what I said about Cum- my, which was that she was the per- son entitled to the dedication. If I said she was the only person who would understand, it was a fashion of speaking; but to Cummy the de- dication is due because she had the most trouble and the least thanks. As for Auntie, she is my aunt, and I am often decently civil to her; four advantages that could not be alleged for Cummy. That is why I chose Cummy; and that is why I think I chose right." It was the great-niece (living in .Alberta) of Mrs. Stevenson who sent the presentation copy to Sotheby's, along with 27 others given to Stev- enson's mother, which totalled 2,221 pounds. "Treasure Island," lt>8;!, proved to be the highest. This was inscribed, "from her afft. son. The Author," and realized 580 pounds; "Travels with a Donkey in tho Cevennes" "It was not Germany wiilch lost the last war; It was Europe. Another war would destroy us.'' â€" Benito Mussolini.
