The lowering of postage will give added impetus to Canadian es and will also be advantag- to private citizens mailing by Ee, 3 4 reduced air mail charges the fore, The Congress confirmed the es- tablishment of an air mail unit oi weight of 5 grammes for those countries using the metric system, and the nearest equivalent to 5 5 grames for other countries -- which is one quarter ounce in the case of Canada, It is the policy of the Canadian Post Office Department to pass on to the Canadian public any bene- fits of this kind and the reduction of the present half ounce airmail weight unit to one quarter of an ounce has enabled the Department hel by the Postmaster General | Canada de Janeiro, when the ques- | to introduce more attractive rates, The new rates will at least cut in half the present cost of air mail letters to Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and many countries in Asia, To illustrate the material cut in charges that the public will now enjoy, it will be posible to send a normal letter, written on light- weight paper, to the United King- dom and Europe, for only 15¢ com- pared to the 30c per half ounce charge now in force. With a new rate set at 10 cents, there will also be an appreciable re. duction in the postage on mall from to all South American countries, ranging up to 15c an item, ' The 10c per quarter ounce rate now in force will continue to apply to British Guiana, Mexico, the West" Indies, Bermuda, Cuba and Central America, including the Cana] Zone, It will be possible to mail a quar- ter ounce letter to China, including Manchuria, for just 25c, instead of 60c as at present. The 25c rate will also apply to a quarter ounce letter addresed to the Philippines and Guam, where the respective charges were previously 75¢ and 65c for each half ounce. The 25c rate at least halves the "Thanks to you, Grandpa Kruschen...

Under the quarter ounce weight unit a leter may be mailed consist ing of two sheets of light-weight paper, written on both sides, and enclosed in a light-weight envelope. As a specla] facility a mailer who is unable to obtain light-weight sta- tionery necessary to keep the weight stationery necessary to keep the weight within a quarter ounce, may use a "Canada Air Letter" form, Such a form, however, must be correctly prepaid at the air mail rate to the country of destination, if such country is not already with- in the scope of the Canada Air Let- ter form service.

She sank into a chair. And he thought how, here in her room, with the fire crackling, they were --except for her silence--like an "ordinary" brother and sister be- tween whom hung no cloud; only the happy news of an engagement, No need to think of Uncle Dick and Aunt Lou. As to those blasted pearls--forget them. It should be possible to do that, After all, re- flected Jerry, .the Stones could afford to lose any number of pearls. They were rich enough. "It's a funny thing," he said, "to think of me being brother-in- law to Kit Stone." She nodded. ' He grinned. "He's a bit too like a poker for me." It was curious. He never could speak of Kit Stone except with a little fling against him. Perhaps it was the thought of what that level glance would be if he knew of one's--activities. Oh, darn it--there one was, thinking of all that again! Jerry looked round the lofty room at the old French prints, the Chinese bowl, the long brocade curtains. "Do you know," he said, "if I'd had all this from the time when I was a child I'd have been different. But I simply never had a chance--" was looking at him with love; yes, but as if it were she who was the older; indeed as though she alone had grown up and he were only a little boy. . A stranger, standing at that late hour before the dark facade of Wanderslay, would have seen another of its bedrooms lit and throwing from between tall cur- tains a narrow line of gold on the frozen grass. In that room Kit Stone--smoking: by permission-- confronted his mother across the table which held the many silver- framed photographs of his father and of himself. How like a fal- con she was, he thought. Her glance at the moment was soft- ened by. her love of him. But he hardly saw that, for his whole mind was occupied by thoughts of another kind of love. He didn't know that she was reflecting on his likeness to his father, killed long years since in the hunting field--the same slight arrogance, she thought, the same ease in his own strength. "My dearest boy," she repeated her: question. , Ae you sure?" "Quite sure." "This hurried wedding -- three or four months' engagement would have been short enough. But two or three weeks--in the case of people such as ourselves it will look strange. And--I will be frank, Kit." She glanced, with something as near timidity as she would ever get, at her son's face. "I feel that if you were as certain as you would have yourself be- lieve, you would be content to wait." Ah, but how impossible, thought Kit, to make her or anyone un- derstand this menaced feeling which he had in regard to his love.. Nor could he explain it to himself. And yet it was constantly there and had been ever since he had first acknowledged to himself that he loved Ginnie. Yes, ever since, booted and frozen, she had wandered into his life and tried to wander out again, he had felt this strong desire to hold all harm from her. Strange child that she was. This evening she had paused, on her way upstairs, before the portrait of one of his forebears-- a lovely lady all in white leaning against a tree. "Who is she?" she had asked, after a minute. "She was a great-grandmother of mine," he had answered lightly. But he had wondered, with a senseless pang, whether it was Mrs. L.

Strange, She |Y 9 009 0% Las das das da sda das dy Lod oC > ] o : something wandering in the ex- pression of that exquisite face which had caught Ginnie's atten- tio and struck her to silence, "Tell me about her." "Well, she ran away--or she would have done so. But her hus- band caught up with them that evening, He killed the fellow in a duel, He brought her back. He and she lived for another thirty years, In all that time he never spoke to her." Ginnie had stood as if riveted before the tall canvas. 'Please show me a picture of her hus- band," she said at last. She had only to turn her head to see it. The portrait of Chris- topher Stone of that day hung beside that of his wife, For what seemgd quite a long time Ginnie studied t face--the thick "yel- low hair, the light eyes. Then she turned to the tall dark man at her side. One would have said that there could. not be a greater con- trast. But, "His mouth is like yours," she had commented. + "Are you thinking of running away from me, Ginnie?" Kit had asked. She had smiled and shaken her head and gone on, mounting the stairs beside him. His attention returned now to his mother. "You should be con- tent to wait," she said. "There is such.a thing," he told her, "though I.admit that it doesn't happen very frequently, as caring so much that one is not content to wait, Apart from that, I like Ginnie's background no more than you do and I intend to remove her from it as soon as may be." "Forgive me, Kit," his mother looked him full in the face, "but I think that you had better know that Ginnie's, is bad blood. Mrs. Sensby was. saying the other day that she believed the child's father was a Major Riven of the --shires, If so, it seems that he left the regiment, had to send in his papers--" "Possibly. 'Bad blood' in Ginnie does not trouble me." "And would it not trouble you in your son? Kit, this isn't like you," No, thought Kit, she was right Athere. It wasn't in the least like him. He laughed. "I can cope with the effects of bad blood in my son when they arise," "And in a daughter?" "My daughter," Kit replied in a voice of ice, "will have before her the example of her mother-- that is, of someone who is loving and gentle, incapable of unkind- ness and incapable of deceit." » It was Sunday afternoon. Kit and his mother were perforce en- gaged with some neighbors who had called, Ginnie had slipped way, finding the path to the stables. This morning after church the: whole party had visited the stables. Tey had passed from loose-box to loose-box, sugar and apples in their hands. Each horse had been inspected--and not one had been in the least like Dopey --while the silent groom stood by. Comments were made, "Plenty of range there, plenty of scope," said the quiet Mr. Oli- vier the groom removed the rug from the back of a grey. Gin- nie had had no notion of what he or anyone meant. She said noth- ing. And it might, she reflected, have been a good thing if Jerry too had said nothing. He had made some remark, To Ginnie it had sounded knowledgeable enough. But she had caught the fraction of a colorless glance that both Kit and the groom had be- stowed on him. Yes, it was as she had guessed, Better not talk of horses at all unless you knew them inside out. But she liked them. And so she had drifted down to the stables to look them over in peace, with no one to ask terrifyingly; "Well-- and what do you. think of this one?" She leant over the half-door and gazed in the fading light into that interior. She saw the wise long faces, thin ears pricked at the stranger. She listened to the munchings, the rustlings and the occasional hearty stamp; and she smelt the good stable smell. She was unconscious of the groom who, passing in his Sunday clothes, glanced at her as his future mistress with interest. She didn't think of herself as any- thing's future mistress, even though she wore on her left hand Kit Stone's engagement ring; and three weeks tomorrow would be her wedding day. The only way, she reflected, to combat the pain- ful happiness, and misery which came with that thought was not to look at it too often--just to exist on the surface-- Behind her, on the old-fashioned cobbles of the stable yard, there was a footstep. For one second she thought that it might be Kit --Kit, who would slide his hand through her arm--no, it was too light a tread. And a second later a soft voice sounded in her ear: "What the dickens do you think you're doing here?" She turned. A narrow-faced Jerry regarded her. Strange, now his face seemed to narrow when he was troubled. "I was looking at the horses--" He made an impatient sound. "It's taken me half an hour to find you." He looked round the stable yard. He opened the half- door and led her inside, closing it again, top and bottom. Quickly he walked down the line of loose- boxes and Ginnie's heart sank as she watched him, a thousand fathom; for she knew his reason for that furtive reconnaissance; just to be certain that no groom nor stable boy was within earshot.
