THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 30, 193 ° PAGEFIVE = s were full of delights; In } evenings she and Dick sat by the fire and planned. "What keeps us in New York for Vv Jten days, Dick?" i I have to see Mr. Leavitt, we have to get you a winter fos maybe we could get that in ! "Dick, I assure you in all serious- mess that I can't believe my ears!" { 1*T's going--" he said slowly with a rich content in his voice, "to be fun!" | "Do you know whom I'm going to miss like everything, Lil?" Gail d. They were busy wiping the s | "phil?" suggested Phil's wife. "Phil too and of course the baby. But I meant Danny," said Gail. He jand I understand each other: I r dreamed that I could love a ttle boy as much as that!" | "He'll miss you too," Lily sald, in her bright sharp eyes. "But 't we all!" she added simply. { It was only Ariel, of them all, of fail, SHpbemsvilL: who caquld not the excitement and pleasure lof Gail Lawrence's marriage. Ariel {had somehow lost her birthright of | ning tle sistership; there had been no ppy flurry of flowers gifts, wed- ding frocks and wedding plans for her; and she looked on at Gail's excitement and emotion with dis- fllustoned hard young eyes and a t curl of her lip. | Sometimes Gail dragged hersel! her own roseate absorption to all her world had always led--to cheer Arlel. i "Do you know anything about Manchester?" | "Manchester?" 5 | "The New Jersey town where Van is, where you'll live?" "Not much." Ariel's tone would be. utterly dreary. "Van says there's a country club." "That might be fun!" "I don't imagine anything in New Jersey is fun. It sound to me like 8 horribly jay place!" Words were no use. Beautiful, married to the man she had chosen, yet the secret of content was denied Ariel and she could only look for- ward with apprehension and back- 'ward with regret. Ariel tried to feel contempt for Gall, 50 innocent so awed, so tremb- with love and faith. Ariel was t twenty-one but life had harden~ 'ed her; she had aged ten years iit the last three. Nothing thrilled {Ariel now, no promises rang true in her ears, no prospect allured her. {And Gall twenty-six. Gail who wrote stories and handed unmanageable little boys and novel-loving old la- dies so expertly. Gail was only a child, going in utter unknowingness $0 her bridal night, To Gail men could still be fine, god, worthy of ' trust and love; to Gail marriage and motherhood would be the very crown of life. But after all it was hard to des- beauty and strength and hope; At was hard to despise the prospect that embraced travel and new cities, land the crossing of the great ocean. | ve all, it was hard to despise , and how these two loved each 1 Gail's new cards came: Mrs, Rich- ard Alden Stebbins. Gail's new trunk came, with a plain little "A. L. 8." lettered on. the blue stripe that encircled it. : On the afternon before the day itself they were walking about the old place that was presently to be Sam's home. Sam not only had theories about farming but he had an eye on preity Beth Tait who e. Edith always steadfast, faithful, comin gto the library to help stack; books, planning supper in the side garden, with raspbefries and iced, tea. But Ariel in open rebellion and Gail not much better. She remembered the day When within reach. Unsatisfactory, flip-' pant, giddy as he had been, she had. accepted him, she had determined indeed to marry him should the, chance be offered her--marry him! to escape. : Gall, dreaming of all this on her wedding eve, trembling with a sud-' den chill in the darkness and solit- ude of her own big charmber. She' would have taken Van to escape-- what? Well, this. This that she had to- night. Her friends, her back~ ground, her family, Phil and Lily and the children, all the beauty and dignity of home. To escape from work, her green fountain pen. To es- cape from Dick, and London, and all glowing future! Then it was morning and there was no more time for dreams. The house was astir in the foggy dawn: Lily, with her hair in curlers, run- frantically about the kitchen, little boys stumbling to and fro, Sam grinning over his early cup of coffee, Phil rushing off to work with all sorts of commissions and threats sounding in his ears, Gail appeared in the kitchen just before Phil went. "You'll be back early, Phil?" "I'll be here by ten!" "The boy for the trunks is here, Gall." "There's some one we forgot, af- ter all!" This was Phil departing. "Oh, good heaven, Phil, who? May be I-could telephone--" g "The Formaldehydes!" Phil call- ed over his shoulder, "Gail--look at the roses--" "Listen, all the food goes here-- see?--in this closet. Just stack it there and while we're at church Mrs, Wiggin and Betsey are going to sort everything out--" "Here are the cakes from Lou. Will you look at the ten-layer cake!" Give me the baby--" Ariel said. She sat holding the soft little drowsy armful. "You look real cute with baby Mis' Murchison! said Lily's mother. "Mama, will you 4 off?" Lily demanded patiently. t Ariel only laughed. She was her sweetest, her gentlest self, on this busy morning. She seemed to keep rather near Gail and when the clock had raced as far as eleven o'clock and Gail, out- wardly calm, inwardly madly agitat- ed, went upstairs for the actual donning of the wedding dress, Ariel went too, still carrying the sleeping baby. The big bedroom was a scene of mad confusion; Mary Keats was on her knees finishing the packing and holding everything up for Gail's ap- proval before she laid it away. "Gall, got stockings out for your traveling suit?" "Two pairs, darling! I can wear a different color on each leg!» The white gown slipped over her head; she was all in white. It was simple, with a small pull-down hat instead of a vell, and practical shoes. Yet they who loved her thought they had mever seen Gail lok so lovely as she did now. She looked at herself in the old dim mirror that had reflected all the moods of her girlhood and laughed contentedly, "Somehow I can't feel that I'm getting married!" The others straggled away, Lily taught the kindergarten grades. He, Gail and Dick wandered through { deserted farmhouse that still l lled of apples and rotting wood, and through the sweet-scented barns and stables. ; ' Sam had left them alone for a minute in the kitchen. "If Beth and Sam make a go of 4t, we'll come back some day!" "We'll come back anyway, Gail." , They stepped into the dooryard /and looked up at the trees from which the leaves were drifting' and {clumsily into the great bole of a "Do Dick?" she asked, straightening up, with eyes full of love and laughtér. she and Edith Se ah mn and across the ~ eT tree-shaded taking her baby.

Gall's cold right hand caught at his left, during the ceremony their fingers were linked. Afterward when they were at home again and the congratulatory Frowds were surging about them, went up to the foot of the stairs to meet her as she came down dressed for the trip. Tears and {laughter had been so mingled on her wedding day that he thought she Yooked more like a blue-eyed child than ever; bewildered, grateful, touched, happy. "When we used to play around the old ranch, together twenty years ago, we didn't see this coming at the end, did we, Gail?" Dick said as he caught her hand for the run to the waiting motor car, "At the end!" she echoed with a swift shocked laughing glance, "Dick, Dick, this is only the begin- ning!

Phone 400 Women's Interest in the Home; HOW SWIM Martha Norelius Wrig ht ee ------ ee A i] (Editor's Note: Martha Norelius Wright, famous in her own right as a speed and long distance swimmer, and equally famous as the wife of one of the greatest scullers of all time, Joe Wright, Jr., of Toronto, has been commissioned to write 'a series of twenty-four articles for The Oshawa Daily Times on swimming for beginners. Even those who have been swimming for years will gain greater knowledge of the art from these articles as expounded by one of the world's greatest swimmers. As Martha Norelius, the writer won the women and $10,000 cash at Toronto, 1929. reat ten-mile marathon for revious to becoming a pro- fessional swimmer, Miss Norelius has held amateur world championship standing in 100, 200, and 500 indoors and 400 and 800 outdoors, and won the Olympic champjonship at 400 meters in 1924 and 1928.) In this first article of my series I am covering only a few of the points I feel everybody should know before taking up the art of swimming. Swimming, as against "bathing," has become such a widespread sport that the question "Why Swim?" sounds almost meaningless. Yet few realize the importance swimming has in the building up of a strong, well balanced body. While refusing to minimize the advantages of other sports in this connection I still believe that no sport in the world can compete with swimming for all-round development. Every muscle of the body is brought into play in swimming and muscular development is slow and steady and hence enduring. Because all muscles of the body are developed at the same time swimming gives poisc and grace to the figure, and suppleness to the carriage. Swimming limits the possibility of over- strain often brought on by the jerking muscular movements so necessary to many other forms of sport. There is no age limit Yor those who would learn. I have seen children of five years and men and women in their sixties learn with equal ease through taking the proper course of training. I myself was taught by my father when I was five years old, and any proficiency 1 may have obtained has been the result of year of persistent effort. radual development through year after One thing 'I think I owe to swimming above all else and that is that it has built up my resistance so thoroughly that I have literally never had a sick day in my life, (To-morrow: COMMON POINTS OF FEAR AND HOW TO OVER- COME THEM be guests at "Parkwood" while in Oshawa attending the Canadian Legion Convention in August. * > .

WISE WOMEN People often asked Mrs. Clark, who lived in the country, if she were not sometimes lonely. "You're Master Kingston, aunt, Mrs, Brock St. so far from everything, and from | your friends," they said.

" - FLIP SHOWS HIS SPEED To boast is foolish and may lead To things embarrassing indeed. ~--Flip the Terrier. Flip hasn't always felt that way about the matter, or else he has forgotten at times. But then, a whole lot of people say wise things and then fail to Jive up to their own wisdom. Flip was enjoying his stay at the ranch where he and Farmer Brown's Boy were staying with Cousin Tom. There were three other dogs there. They had receiv- ed Flip without what you might call enthusiasm, but. with stiff-legged tolerance. They were coldly polite, and cold politeness is one of the chilliest things I know of. Flip on his part had been his usual friendly happy-go-lucky self. So after a suitable period they accepted him as one of them, Now, these other dogs had always lived on the ranch, while Flip had as you know, first lived in a city of the East and then, wandering out into the country and getting lost, had been taken in and cared for by Farmer Brown's Boy. With the latter and Cousin Tom he had journeyed across country in an air- plane, and now here he was among strangers in a strange country. Having seen so much of the Great World, it was perhaps natural that Flip should be a bit conceited and do a little boasting. He told of his adventures on the Green Meadows and in the Green Forest at home and on the Dry Desert, from which he had just come, though he took care not to mention the fact that he had been lost on the Dry Des- ert and nearly lost his life there. He boasted of what he had seen, of his courage and of how he could run, and he really didn't mean to boast at all. He was merely trying to make an impression on these new friends. The other dogs listened gravely, though now and then one would sol- emnly wink at the others. They liked this lively little fellow with his stub tail and friendly manner, but they felt that he was a little too self-imnortant. He had just a little too good an opinion of himself. He needed to be taken down, as the expression is. Early .one morning Speedfoot the Coyote was discovered near the ranch buildings, The three Dogs knew Speedfoot and all about him, just as he knew all about them. They knew that they might just as well try to catch the wind as to try to catch him, and they knew that he never would think of stop- ping to fight them, for they were all of good size and of fighting stock. They also knew just how clever and smart he was. "I wonder," said one of them to Flip, "just how fast you can run, That fellow out there is too fast for any of us, but if you are as fast as you say you are you might be able to catch him. He is a nuisance and ought to be driven away. Suppose you go after him: that is unless you are afraid." "Afraid!" barked Flip. "Me afraid And as you can plainly see, it is exceedingly simple to fashion, You can carry it out in plain crepe silk if desired. It is stunning in dusty-pink shade.

Burgess led Flip, and Flip began to gain. didn't once suspect that Speed was letting him do this. Then, when they were far end from the other dogs for mo in ference from them,'a funny t happened. Speedfoot stopped, tu ed, raised the hair along his b and shoulders, drew back his so that all his tceth showed, with one of the ugliest snarls ? had heard in all his life start straight for Flip. It was all sudden, so unexpected, and thi Coyote looked so dreadfully sava that Flip put the brakes on in hurry. He suddenly felt very smi He hadn't supposed that this fellg had such teeth. He didn't like th look in his eyes. Before he realize what he was doing Flip turned and started for the ranch, If he had run fast before, he quite outdid him self now, for Speedfoot was right at his heels, and it seemed to Flip that he never had heard such ugly snarls, "You really can run," said the oldest dog gravely as Flip dashed in among them. (Copyright, 1931, by T. W. Burgess) of that fellow! I'll show you Ill show you what running is, and you won't see that fellow around very soon again after I catch him." So away dashed Flip, and at once Speedfoot turned tail. Flip was ex- cited. He was excited by the chase and he was excited by the chance to show off. At first he barked, but he soon found that he couldn't waste his breath that way. This fellow could run. There was no doubt about that. Yes, 'sir, he could run. Flip couldn't see that he was gaining much, and the funny thing was that this fellow didn't seem to be making much effort.
