THE OSHAWA D2 JILTED . By Margaret Widdemer om Helen ' Heather becomes aged 'to Tommy Delamater, re is. more than a ripple of oitement in the aoclal circles t' Kingsway. Helen is quite he most popular girl in town. nd Tommy has an hassured so- clal position, as his father is the president of the bank in which Helen is a typist. Helen lives with her cousin, Nina Hig- ginson, a young and 'wealthy. widow, who had married a man much her senior, after throwing over the courtly Ethan. Kinge- way. Free, Nina sets her cap for Ethan once more. She even follows him to Europe. Meantime Tommy's father has secured a place for him in a bank in Wisconsin, Helen, prepares to join her future hus- band. She gets a letter from Tommy breaking the engage- ment, It is plain that Mrs, Del- amater has encouraged Tommy's action, Doris Milliken, who is secretly engaged to Nina's step- aon, Ronny, tries to comfert Helen, Half sick, Helen wane ders intq the Kingsway grounds not knowing Ethan has returned from Europe. Ethan and his little cousin, Patricia, sit on a bench near Helen. In trying to get away, Helen strikes the limb of a tree and is stunned. The Kingsways take care of Helen. She becomes 'governess for little Patricia. Nina returns from Burope. Ethan berays a growing interest in Helen, INSTALMENT XVI Doris, waiting in the stiff parlor at Marietta's gate house, was walk- ing up and down restlessly. "I wish I was working for a liv- lng the way you are," she said as Helen entered. 'With nobody to tell me what to do. , Sometimes I feel as if I'd go crazy, pushing my» self down out of sight all the time, and trying to turn myself into something my people want me to be. And I'm not. I never can " Helen looked at her, surprised. Doris, like many inarticulate peo- ple, once she had opened her heart to someone, went on recklessly. Her thin pointed face was tense with the excitement of actual talking things out. . "I know I have pretty clothes and jewelry, and expensive par- ties. But they're not my clothes ar my jewelry or my -parties. Every- 'thing is picked out for me by Aunt Louisa. And if I ask Father for a! little freedom, he just says, "You're too young to know what you want.' 'Oh, Helen, some day I think I'll go crazy or run away!" "But why do you stand it?" Hel- en asked curiously. Her own life had been. so different; she would so have liked to have people care enough to dictate, even, she thought sometimes. Doris' : pallor changed to a hot painful flush. "I'm & coward. That's why, I've thought of going off and getting a job & hundred times. But I'm just plain scared. You know I don't have any allowance, only things bought for me. Aunt Lou has told me what to do since I was a baby. And it's sort of like having grown up with 'handeuffs on. - When she says things, I just have to obey!" Helen looked at her pityingly. It must be dreadful to be chained like that. Doris' aunt, stiff, old- fashioned woman that she gvas, with her air of rigid certainty, ruled her brother, and through him Doris. Doris' mother's elopement, of course. They kept the stable door locked: on Doris. "But T haven't told you yet what 1 want." Doris said, quieting down a little, and standing still, a tre- mulous young figure, extinguish- ed instead of enhanced by the heavily embroidered white. silk sport-suit she wore. "I came to ask you if you'd come over tonight and help us cut and title The Gay Young Oysterman." Helen stared at Doris in surprise for a momént. Didn't Doris have any sympathy for Helen, after pouring out her own troubles to Helen in a certainty of sympathy? And then, seeing the girl's childish sad le face, she realized that Doris 'was not, as yet, old or wise enough in her feelings, whatever she might he by reason of age, to reach'outside herself and be sorry for other people. She felt older and wiser than Doris suddenly, and very hying; 'I'd love to e," she said. "Oh, thank 5B Seta: Becky Purden said you wouldn't want to, t 1:told her I knew better. I told er you were just as gay and happy s ever, and delighted you weren't ing to have to" marry Tommy!" "So I am!" Helen said truthe fully. : "Then you think you'll write and tell Allen--"" "No, nor Bill!" said Helen teas: ingly. "You're so in love yourself Dorrie, you cant' imagine anybody being comfortable without wanting to get married and live happily ever after." t "Then youre really. over Tom- my?' Doris persisted wide eyed, peering over her fur neckpiece. "Really --over -- Tommy," said Helesl, spacing the words emphatie eally....Like a ohild's book she had ead and loved long ago. Like ag 'she had Hked to play when she 'a very little girl. Far off--dimmed--only a remembrance that Tommy had had charm. She laughed a little and put her arm Steund Doris as if dis were er own little sister In Baltimore. ! x could charm your eye- off, but I'm over the hypnot- 5 ain Ln love to see the vd, an ave some grand 'about titling." and relief A great happiness phic Lo RR resp 'and ha . y she pita <2 don telling the truth! Tommy, ~wildly gay, horribly de- preseed Tommy--Tommy, with his words of worship--Tommy, and all Tommy stood for, suddenly showed themselves for what they were. Wonderful, but dim, somehow. Far off. Something that didn't really matter, now. She took a long happy breath. She wag free! All the valués changed. She laughed a little, putting her arm around Doris, "T don't a bit," she repeat ed "You always have wonderful ideas," repeated adoring Doris. "I'm so glad you're coming--"" "Where's she coming to?" de- manded Patricia, appearing from nowhere, swift and assured in her brief straight smock and knickers, leaping at Helen and twining, not only her arms, but her slim brown legs, around her, "Here, I'm not a tree," said Hel- en, pending down to kies the child as she detached her. "I'm going to Miss Milliken's house tonight, to title a picture. And I'll tel] you at length what titling a pitcure is, but not now." "Do you love her more than you do me " Patricla demanded. Helen laughed, answering the child, as she always did, as if she were grown up. "That's a very embarrassing per- sonal question. Not the kind peo- ple ever get answefs to that are true, so there's no use asking them," she assured Patricia. She said it absently. Her mind was swirling with this new discovery. She was over Tommy. She didn't mind about him, Over Tommy<--- She laughed aloud. Suddenly, standing there in Mariotta"s low- ceilinged old room with the late fall sunshine about her, she was alive and radiant. Doris and Patricia looked at her in admiration, warm- ed by th sudden vibration of color and happiness she gave out, guiaen and rose and strongly alive. Doris, weaker and more timid, looked at her almost with awe, Little Pat- ricia, herself a force, threw her- sell against Helen again, hugging her hard. "Oh, I love you, Helen! I do love you! What makes people love you so?" She spoke with odd unchildlike intensity. Helen was a little Hroybled. She answered her light- Y. "THe reason the lamb loved Mary so, darling. Remember 'Mary's little Lamb,' that funny old poem your cousin Ada was telling you the other afternoon?" "It was sort of silly," nodded Patricia, "but I remember." "What makes the lamb love Mary so? Cause Mary loved the lamb, know." __"Oh, that's a very nice reason, G'bye Helen, I got to finish what I was doing." She was out, a graceful flash of yellow and brown, before Doris could do more than stare at her. "She's a queer child," she sald, as people inevitably said about Patricia. "She's strange, but she's a won- derful one," Helen defended her. "She has ap amazing mind. She had an odd upbringing. I wonder it you'd do me a favor, Doris-- let me take her over to meet your little cousin Lucy, tonight. She ought to have playmates, and she simply won't . Lucy being a mer- maid--" Doris laughed tremulously, as she often did at Helen's simplest phrases. "You things!" Helen smiled too and went en. "What I mean is, seeing, Lucy have a part in the picture she'll respect her. I love Patricia, but she's a little pirate. She has to be awed a little. And Lucy having to go home to bed early, of course, I can send Patricia too." "Do you really like it," Doris asked, "having a child to take care of, instead of being a secret- ary?" "I adore it," Helen said honest- ly. "A child is fun! And--don"t think ¥m sentimental, Doris, but if I don't have.people to love and make a fuss over, honestly, I'm-- well, I'm uncomfortable!" - She laughed as she finished: her confes- sion. "And, there's nothing in the world as exciting = as watching things grow, even if they're childs rén. The orange seeds I used to plant In pot= when I was little were nothing to it." Doris looked at her with half- comprehending, admiring eyes. "I guess I never had time enough from being unhappy about myself to want to watch things grow," she said sadly.

HEAVY BUYING FOR EASTERINBRITAIN Sales in Big London Shops Trebled Last Week April 2. -- Britain'se preparations for Orders for London, $120,000,000 Easter have begun. { $2,600,000 worth of men's suits to be delivered before April 6, have been placed with West-End tailors. "Sales of women's hats have treb- led in three or four days. More and .more women are buying two or three instead of one, because of the drop in prices. Britain's shops have 10,000,000 hats in stock, and they will all be sold within the next few weeks. "Spring brightness and the end of winter is being made the oppor- tunity for a mew presant-giving geason second only to Christmas," the. manager of a London store said to'a reporter. *'In London alone presents worth $5,000,000 will be exchanged. "I expect to sell: 1,200 women's spring coats: 2,600 men's ties: 76,000 prayer-books and Bibles: 5,000 hats: \ 3-4 tons of chocolates. "Some of us have actually found it expedient, for the first time, to plan a sort of Easter children's cave, Instead of Father Christ- mas there will be a rabbit, the symbol of spring, and little chicks. The entrance to the cave will be decorated with spring flowers. , All in the Eggs . 'Men and women are giving gloves, handbags, pullovers, and gay scarves, Hverything will be put inside Easter eggs. "This week a young man who has just been engaged gave us an order for a $2,600 brooch-to go in a half-crown egg. Another man bought a $2,000 necklet. "Everywhere we see signs of a great refurbishing. We ourselves expect now to-sell 6,000 yards of new curtain materials, The stores together have already sold about 10,000 yards of chintzes and cre- tonnes to ¢over furniture that be- gins to look dull. "Our decorating department is exactly double as busy as. it was last week. "London women will spend 7, 500,000 on themselves before the holidays. Our shoe sales are al- ready up 25 per cent compared with last year, and Easter wed- dings--apparently more popular than ever at the most cheerful time of the year---accounts for from ten to twenty thousand trous- seaux." Tourist agencies report a great jump in business, while the British motor industry expects to do near- ly a third of the years' business in the next four weeks. Kaster will see 16,000 new British motor-cars on the roads.

PIERCE'S Golden Medical Discove AT ALL DRUG STORES Owen says: & Among the stepping of Canadian history when this genera. tion is past will be the incredible story of the woman suffrage move- ment in Quebec and the valiant struggle against overwhelming odds on the part of the women leaders for their rights. There will be many women accorded & place on the pages of this movement, but one of the chief among them will be a pi- oneer who recently celebrated her 76th birthday and who might well be named "The grand little old lady of Quebec"--Mrs. John Scott. It is not always that people who really do things are endowed with such striking and arresting person- alities as this little old lady who even in her denounciations of the enemies of her cause instils into her speeches and writings so much bit- ing and timely humor that even the people she attacks suppress a chucks le. "There is nothing," she said in an interview which I was privileged to have with her recently, "that the enemies of any cause fear as much as well placed ridicule, and a man can stand anything better than to be laughed at." There she sat in her Mantreal home as upright and as agile as a woman of ferty telling me the story of the days of 50 and 60 years ago. the days of the International Rail- way running from Sherbrooke, the days of horse-drawn street cars and stately coaches. I listenéd to the story of a Scottish family, father, mother and 18 children, of whom Mrs. Scott was the eldest, travelling from Glasgow in 1874 and settling in Scottstown, Quebec. It was a story of hard work, of difficulties, of simple pleasures and of romance. With a reminiscent smile she told how she--then a girl of 24-- met a young Scotsman who, strange- ly enough, had been born within four miles of her home city of (lasgow, and evenutally married him, and described their simple home which was blessed by the ad- vent of seven new little Canadian citizens who were born to them there. "I had no time for questions of suffrage in those days." she said with a twinkle in her eye. 'My hus- band was mayor of Scottstown, chairman of the school board, rul- ing elder in the church, telegraph operator, station agent and the keeper of .a general store, and in our spare time we attended the weekly prayer meeting and the meeting of the Christian Endeavor Society. I had six sisters," she went on reminiscently, "and they all mar. ried church elders; I am considered the black sheep of the family be- cause 1 go to the theatre and play eribbage." Again came that twinkle in her eye, as if she thought that being a black sheep had its consuia- tions. Replying to my question as to what made her first think of suf- frage and women's rights, she said, "a very simple incident. One day I left the house with my husband and children, and when we got as far as the garden gate he looked at me and said, "I have forgotten my clean handkerchief.' I started to go back to the ohuse for the handkerchief and it came to me in a flash, why could he not go for it himself and I said, 'You'll find it in your drawer,' and after looking rather stupified he went back and got it himself. "Fifty years ago," continued Mrs. Scott, "it was almost an unheard-of thing for a woman to speak in pub- lic or to take charge Of a public meeting and the men were very an- tagonist/e about it." As tifje went on and her family became, Jess dependent upon her, she grafually became interested in bite 1 e. "In those days I was far J home at the stove and tea an on the platform, and J ver forget the first time I speech in public, It was at byterian convention and I had npt slept for three nights prior to tp meeting. I went up to the platfjrm saying to myself in des- pera/fion, 'If I perish, I perish', but 1 pened to make my audience lauf/h by telling them (it was a mas- culme audience) that they looked as/purprised as the master of Baa- la/p's ass must have looked when hfs faithful burden bearer opened mouth and spoke. Since that t/me I have always realized that one //f the best ways to establish a con- /lact with one's audience is to make hem laugh at the commencement of one's speech. It was during the great suffrage movement in England that Mrs. Scoft' and other leaders began the campaign on behalf of Quebec wo- men, "I had some very interesting experiences," she said, "especially 'at'the Fall fairs in the country dis- tricts where we conducted a special campaign. At that time we even brought out a whole edition of a newspaper filled with women suf- frage matter; this we sold on the streets but although by this time my husband had become very long suf- fering, 1 never dared tell him that bia wife was selling papers on the streets of Montreal, and he never found out." y The daily program of this little old lady of 76 would be & revela~ tion to many much younger women. 1t is full of speeches at public meet- ings, attendance at others, organiz- ing and correspondence, with lun- cheons, teas, dinners and theatre past thrown in. There are also he demands of her large family of children and grandchildrerd. She says that she has the most wonder- tul and best looking grandchildren in the world, and is inordinately proud-of them,' . more table shall made a Pr have been made in Canada One Million Ford Cars for the past twenty-seven zations in the Dominion. to a Ford owner. the Canadian Ford car entirely of Canadian m Canadian workmen.
