The truth was that- a lingering hope remained in Foster's mind that there might be some way of identify- ing this sinister face, for if, as her father had asserted, it was the face of the man with who he had quar- relled, 'the recognition could not lie in the greenish hue that Foster had noticed that evening when he saw it, nor could any human face have - SYNOPBIS Maud Barron awakes with a re. onition of disaster.

The latter closed the door and advanced. "It is there," he said, and told of his experience and the state of the plate. The mulatto listened without a change of expression.

Foster notic- ed for the first time that during periods of concentration the mulat- to's single eye lost its usual keen- ness and became dim and vacant, He was completely absorbed in the pro- blem that had presented itself; so absorbed that he did not hear Foster ask twice what was to be done, Sev- eral minutes passed thus.

By GEOFFREY ST. CLAIR ( hologist) Reserved. A correspondent sends me samples of the handwriting of several well- known film stars and asks me to analyse the writings for lier. There is so much of interest in these ana- lyses that I am making them the subject of a special article. Perhaps you have wondered why many 'men have been led into the different pursuits in which they have gained fame and fortune? It is im- mensely interesting to think what might: have been if different individ. uals had been born with traits of character that were entirely different from the real characteristics of their nature! Many men and women are born into this world with definite talents and abilities, that they must learn in or- der to take full advantage of them. Some go through life and never even learn their proper talents while others find and develop them early in life. Take the handwriting of John Boles, a well-known star. The domin- ant trajt in his character is sell.re- liance. This is the quality that makes him depend only on himself for any- thing he wants done. He is not sur- ly (quite the contrary) to his many friends, but, at the same. time, he looks to one man only to get what he 'wants--and that man is himself. John Boles could not be anything else if he desired--there is an inde- pendence of thought and.action that will not allow him to think of help when he has a problem to face. He is close-mouthed about his personal affairs, and-"will usually have them solved before other people have heard about them. Decisive, quick-thinking --a man of action--John Boles. Some time ago [ analysed the writing of Ramon Novarro., This film star was very fortunate in finding his talent and making it the driving force of his-life, His writing shows, as all tose who have seen his films know, that he is a great dramatic actor--that he can interpret a role in a way that few people can even approach, but he has also another ability and another very outstanding talent with which he has won recog- nition--his ability in music. The rhy- thin and breaks in his writing show immediately to the handwriting ana- lyst--a talent and appreciation of the musical arts. 2 You, my reader, may not have-any tremendous talents like these well- known film actors. On the other hand, you may have some outstanding abil- ity with which you could, it youire- cognized it, and cultivated it, acquire a good position or fill a particular niche in life. But you must under- stand yourself; you must realise the latent abilities within yourself and, once recognizing these, set to work to make the most of them, } A graphological delineation will not invest you with particular powers or or not you possess some outstanding talent which you ought to cultivate. And it will show you to a greater understanding of yourself and your problems; * % 0% would you like to know-what tal. ents you have?

Miss Bachman is a graduate nurse of University College Hospital, Lon- don, with 'post-graduate work in public health at Bedford College, England. She has come to Canada at the request of the Icelandic Red Cross Society, under the Exchange Committee of the Canadian Nurses' Association, to observe methods here and take back to- the work in her native land, to which she returns in the fall, the benefit of her experi- ence. "The Icelandic climate is not near- ly so severe as people think it is-- it is modified by the Gulf Stream," Miss Bachman said, in an interview. "This year we had the best May we have had in years--much warmer than it was in England." : Schools close in May, not because of the heat, but on account of the make the most of the summer and get the children off to the country for a long vacation. Some of the days in November and December do not have more than five or six hours of daylight, ghe added. "The hous- ing is quite good--'stone' houses, we call them, mostly made of cement, with general heating, of coal, with furnaces." The State hospital, as well as the houses in that area are heated from the geyser, "the biggest hot springs in the world," she said. Most of the women and girls of Ice: land are adopting the Western dress, although many of the older women still cling to their national costume.

There is little evidence to substantiate the popular belief that there is an increase in' the number of nervous. * ailments of this type, The expression "nervous « breaks down". has come into common use, In spite of our increased knowledge of the nervous disorders, such as "neurasthenia," "hysteria," "psy- cases diffi cult to solve. In 'spite of our in. all too many persons suffer from some form of nervous ailment. : SYMPTOMS OF DISORDER The so-called victim of nervous breakdown feels mentally and physi- cally tired. He is unable to do. his work and suffers from vague pains and aches. There may be no ap- parent cause for the symptoms. As a rule, however, this can be determin- ed by the physician, But sometimes it is' difficult even for him to be sure what is the underlying trouble, In consequence, the patient continues to suffer, The most common form of nervous breakdown is that known as '"'an- xiety-neurosis." In this condition: there is constant fear of some serious physical disturbance. There may be complaint of palpitation of the heart or weakness in the legs. Perhaps the victim cannot digest his food pro- perly, sweats easily and has short- ness of breath. But will all his misery he avoids consulting his physician for fear he may beridicul- ed. : UNFOUNDED BELIEFS For many years it was a popular but unfounded belief that nervous- ness is a complaint confined to the well-to-do. Another. mistaken idea is that city folks are more suscep- tible to nervous breakdown than | the small town or country dweller. 'This unpleasant condition occurs without regard to occupation or financial standing. . The first thing to do when there js a suspicion of a nervous break- down is to consult a physician. A complete - physical examination will determine if there is any organic trouble. Nervousness is caused us- ually by some functional disturb- ually by some functional disturbance _ in the body. It may be due to faulty eating or living habits. Every, effort should be made to improve the general health and to build up the resistance of the body. An edequate' diet, including plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and foods -abundant in minerals, such as phosphorus and sulphur, are es- pecially beneficial in overcoming nervousiness. These important min- erals are to be found in lemons, grapefruit, spinach; rice, sen food, and 'whole wheat. FRESH AIR IMPORTANT In addition to a proper diet, it is important to have an abundance of fresh air and sunshine. ~ These are important in overcoming any form of nervous disorder. The rays of the run are healing. They help the boay to relax and store up energy. Long walks are recommended and in some cases special" forms of exercise are helpful. Your physician will outline the general and medical treatment you should have, SE "Do not permit yourself to become discouraged. It is true that complete recovery from any nervous disorder is slow work, but by proper care, restoration to good health will be your reward. ° a - | Younger Generation Is "Sure Slipping" Sydney, N.S.--Mrs, Urban Suimp-- son, of 'River Bourgeois, Cape Bret- on, celebrated 'here 101st birthday by showing a crowd of = "youngsters" how to dance' an - old fashioned "square set." ey For four hours she held the centre of the floor in. a regular old-time Cape Breton set of lancers. and, quit only when the crowd of young folks invited to her birthday celebration cried "enough".
