There is so much work waiting to be done at home. * • • We have threshing to_ do, oats to draw in and barley to cut â€" and son Bob, because a wire from headquarters has been held up some place, is on draft for Camp Borden! Partner isn't able to cut the barley; we can't draw In oats until we have thre.shed; and we can't thresh until Bob gets back home to look aiter things. And the threshing machine is on the ilne and will probably want to move In sometime tomorrow. We are also afraid to leave the house very long in case "long distance" should call. If I have to go out I generally warn Partner to listen for the phone. But that idea doesn't work too well because he generally falls asleep If he Is left In. the house too long alone. I tell him his guardian- ship Is parellel to that of King Al- fred and the cakes. Since I had to be in the house so much lately I thought It might be a good idea to get a room pap- ered â€" a Job that has been hang- ing fire for some time. Our young niece Betty is staying with us so it occurred to me that with her help I might even be able to paper the ceiling â€" a job I have never yet tackled alone. The ceiling was low enough that I could reach It from a chair and the room not so terribly big. So I hopefully cut and measured one strip of paper â€" I thought one piece would be enough to experi- ment with. Well, I wrestled with that piece of evil for nearly an hour â€" pasting and repasting. At one time I had it wrapped around me like a winding sheet and of course I finished up by tearing it into any number of pieces. In des- peration I came downstairs and phoned a neighbor â€" "How do you get one end of a sti-ip to stay on a ceiling while you fix the other?" I asked. Well, after she had finished laughing at me she said â€" "You just leave It for now and I will come down after supper and help you." So that was that. The ceiling was done that night and Betty and I papered the walls next day. It is grand to have neighbours and neices! * • • AnoUier telephone call . . .

DREAM TURNS REAL For nearly 15 years. Dr. Syngman Rhee, above, has been president of the provisional government of Korea. For most of that time he has headed a mission in Washing- ton seeking U.S. aid for his Kor- ean independence campaign so that his government might take over. Two years ago the United Nations pledged his country inde- pendence.

Would it be permissible for a man to pass in front of a wo- man, in order to get out of an automobile on the curb side? 2. When giving a luncheon, when should the bread and butter plates be put on the table? 3. What should a hostess do if a caller refUse.s a cup of tea or coffe-e ? 4. If a man has asked a girl for permission to call and she has declined, should he ask her again at some other time? 6. Is it correct for parents to introduce their children to adults? li. What is the proper position to place a butter knife on the but- ter plate? ANSWERS 1. Yes. .and it is also safer than getting out on the traffic hide. Of course it would be more con- venient for the driver to get out on the left side. 2. Before the guests enter the diningroom. 3. The hostess should accept the refusal and not make the offer a second time. -1. That depends en- tirely upon the manner in which she refused his first request. He must u.so his best judgment as to whether the girl really cares to extend the friendship. 5. Yes, and it is excellent training. Well-bred parents should do so at every op- portunity. 6.

YANKS IN PARIS CELEBRATE PEACE LOUIS ARTHUR CUNNINGHAM CHAPTER XVI "What's in the wind Peter? Any Idea?" "Ah, well!" Roger looked at the clear blue sky and thought oi Mcridcl's eyes and clo.wd bis own. It would be good to fly again, to ranjje the heavens wide and free. "By the way," said Peter Ays- cough, "I heard they found that ritzy station wagon of yours aban- doned dt .Sainte-Barbe, not far from <he border. The fugitives grabbed some farmer's truck there and took it almost to the line And they're over, I guess. They seeem to have vanished into thin air.' "I thought they'd get away Nervy beggars." "It's i> devii of a note â€" That Kehl â€" Captain Manfred Kehl â€" a big shot Nazi; the other lad, Faber, was a hell-raiser too. No end ot trouble with him in the camp, I he.Trd from a chap who did duty there. They'll find some pals in the States, you may be sure. 1 suppose they'll turn up next ill Tobruk." Roger, deep in hig heart, did not know whether to be glad or sorry that Michel had escaped. For a while he had thought, with Tante Mimi, that perhaps a bullet frcm a pursuer's gun would be the best answer to it all. Now he did not know. His own happiness was so great, so wondrous. Perhaps the Americans, this time, would grant no bail, would take the men and hold them prisoners until the war was over. Certainly it would be foolhardy to let those two escape. Well, anyway, it wasn't his worry any more. » ♦ * The cli'ldren had presented Pe- ter .^yscongh with a huge basket or ribbon-candy, barley toys, bon- bons, fruit and nuts, which he con- sumed happily aiong the way at the constant hazard of wrecking the macliine and breaking their necks. "It will be a relief to get up in the air again, Pete," said Roger as they slewed away from the edge of a gully and grazed a telephone pole on tilt other side of the road. "So safe up there." "It is ;. bit slippery, sir. Gosh, you must have had :: swell time at .vour aunt's place, if this is a sample of it. Was that pretty girl the princess?" "Yes â€" that was the princess." "Boy! Sl.e looked it. War surely has it lonipensations." "Yes," said Roger wryly. "It's been a great w.ir for the Fabres We'll all be sorry to see it end." He fell sicnt, thinking of that last lovely picture he had taken away » with him, the bright faces of the children, niailame's burning black eyes and the pride in them and the tears that wer^ like jewels in the eyes of .Meridel. Behind them the gray w^iils of the chateau; behind it the hills crowned with the dark green beauty of the spruce trees and the pines. Piling aboard a passing jeep, American G.I.'s and a Wac ride through the streets of Paris, waving Allied flags and cheering the end of the war. Your dear remembered face, he thought. Nothing shall dim the memory of it for me â€" not the mouiita::is and the seas between; not years it I should be kept away from you that long; not eternity. But I'll come back to you, Meridel. I know I was not first in your heart. He came there once for a little while and possessed it, and lie doe-j not easily let go. I'm sorry the end for him had to be like this, so (lark, so shamefully dark. 1 would rather have bested him in f,nir figlit or at least have had the chance to fight, even had I lost. There's something hollow about this victory, something that robs it of its savor. Dreaming thus, he dozed off and it was not until they had rolled into the outlying districts of the city where .'\y-cuiigh had a chance to do some leally fancy driving, that he aw.rrcciieil^ust as their front fender grazed the mighty bumper of a tru.k. "Did I n.'iss much, Pete?" "You br.vc no idea, sir. " Pete grinned cl;ecrfully. ".Ml men, esjie- cially truck drivers, will remem- ber the p,is?ing of Peter .Nyscough." "With a blessing, I'll bet." "Well, I did hear some of them mciitior. njiiics that go with bless- ings, though their faces belied their words. But 1 do my best, my very best, and do it every day. Always tlie fir.-t i<- spring to arms at the call of (hit\ that's me, Pete." * * * Craduaily. <|uiet descended <m the great hoiisi as the laughter, the busy tongues were stilled by sleep. Rudolph, the incorrigible, went to the kitchen soon after dinner, to sil in the chior he loved, to talk grave- ly with Gesner and the cook and Florian and the other domestics, oi wars and tre aftermath ol war, ol his own experience in the army of France ui the First World War, He spoke ol the great generals of history, of the first great Churchill, Corporal .lohii, Uiike o( Marllior- ortgli: ol Prince Eugene, of Napdc on, Wellington and Bluchcr. H< loved kitchens, did Ruik];il;. were they of castles, inns or cottages. He, who was to the manner 'lorn," found his greatest ease an^! liappi- ncss in tlie inglenook. iladanie and Meridel sh:,:ed the fire in the room upstairs. It had been a good day. The e . .nts of last iiiglit had not faded, a:.' more than the wine stain on tl:^ taupe carpet. lint the beaiitie- if the day had taken some of the v:-,!iiiess from them; the sweet ar. : gentle spirit, the love that had ; â- â€¢ vaded ihe house had driven th' -e dark shadows 'iito hiding and '. nh of them prayed, the old lad> :.:ui the young girl in whose ey ? the dreams refused to die, thit ihey would not come again. "You sent Roger away ha. py this time,'' ;aid madanie. "Never be- fore have I seen him go i.. ssyly leave so much that he lo eci be- hind and depart singing. Jut it was so tu(ia>. I think he iiT.:-t have taken someihing very ;i".."ciou» away with him.' • * * Meridel colored, looked at her hand tn.it he had kissed. "Some- thing very small I think, n.udame. He asked for my love and I told him it wa;. freely given." The old lady looked .it her shrewdly for a moment: t:tn at the fite. She rubbed her c'iin oji the gleaming knob of he:- stick. "Freely, yes." she said :i;ter a moment. "Soinetimees, I k::ow, it is not in our power to give as we should like to give.'' "\nA is not that se'fi;iiiiess, madame?" The thin shoulders shr.iggetL "Say, rather, it is human natureâ€" a perverse, stubborn, so:r.e times hateful thing. Logic stops at hu- man nature. Why do we do the things we do, hein? Why sl:ou!d w« cause pain to those who love us most? Roger adores you, b'-it you know what it is in love â€" o;:e who loves, one who permits herself t6 be loved. It is like that in any match. There is no balance. One gives, the other takes. Oh, '. iiave s«cn it often, often." "Y'ou think it is like that -.vithâ€" ^ with Roger and me?'' "Isn't it?' "I â€" " she covcrd her face with her hands. "I do not know. Vh he is so fine. He is what yoi; call a noble knight. I am nothing.
