"Me, either," agreed Rowena. "I've a up the very last of my surprise" sensations. No matter what 'happens, I'm expecting it." But they were. both wrong. In- credible #8 it 'seemed at the mom- ent, they were due for many more surprising denouements and mare :;sensational ones. Even climatic conditions conspired to add to their discomfiture, The sky had been overcast for hours, and a heavy downpour of rain. was followed by a steady, dis 'heartening drizzle that showed no signs-of diminution.

We've got Spokane to fall back on." They followed the boy with their bags; to the hotel lobby. And the first. they saw there was little brown Bobby Lowell sitting all hunched up in the biggést uphol- stered chair in sight. "Bobby!" they cried.

You never want to see Oh, you'can't mean Car cer!" protested Rowena, who simply could not conceive of a Bobby with no Carter at the tip of her tongue, "It's just not possible!" "It is possible--it's a fact. All is over between us for ever and ever. That's why I came to go on the rest of the trip with you" "But see here," said Peter stern Iv. "you can't just be on and off with us like that. You left us in a terr.ble hole, running off the way you did --" "I knew I had dome wrong," said Bobby, "and so I said the best thing to do was to come straight back as fast as I could. That's why I didn't send back the money I borrowed, Peter. I needed it to come back on." "Well, what happened?" demand ed Rowena. "How in the world did you ever get off with Carter?" "It was like this. At first he was simply overjoyed to have me back and then in about an hour we got to talking about it and he got mad der and madder and said he really didn't know whether he wanted to ruin his future by marrying a wo man who had no more sense than that. Seo naturally I broke the en gagement and gave him back his LE ad -- ---- ena showed that watch far a good many weeks. She left it in ex: tremely safe deposit -- for a con- sideration--right there in Portland. They gave Bobby a lurid account of the desperate strait in which she left them, and how Rowena con ceived the bright idea of getting married as a sop to the require ments of society. Bobby sald she always did think Rowena was just too clever for words, "But aren't you just as married as" if you really were married?" she asked 'interestédly. "Not at all. We're just pretend ing that way. In fact we're the same old maids and bachelors we always .were," "Isn't it too bad you are both so disagreeable?" said Bobby sweetly. "If you were just a little nicer you could fall in love with each other now -- you know, they write best sellers about nien falling in love with their wives--and it would be too romantic for words!" "Thank God we're not nice then," said Rowena. "With the example before us of you and Carter in love and all it leads to, Peter and I have entirely tno much sense to be any- thing but ¢nemies." In €-n a Pater fauna Rowena was starving herself to _ Tm sorry, but you're all three under arrest." ring. I put my things in my bag and called up Rackruft to find out where I could catch you, and here I am. 'Oh, "darlings, I've been so SEBaphy and it is so good to see you again. THey were none too well pleased about it. Bobby was an expensive addition to the party, seemed doubly expensive mow that they could dispense with her presence. It did not clear the atmosphere when they found waiting a tele gram from the company with per emptory orders to send her back at once. It said it was better publicity fo the roadster to haye the bridal couple continue their honeymoon alone, Bobby sald it was none of their business what she did, that she was responsible only to Carter. Was she going to let any ten-cent com pany give her orders? Certalply not! Her arrangements with Row ena had been for the entire tour and for the entire tour she would continue. So Rowena retired to the rumble seat, although Peter insinuated strongly that he was not vitally in terested in the details of the fall- ing out with Carter. South to Portland proceeded the thoroughly chaperoned bridal party. It was in Portland that Bobby, who had been delighted inte, genuine hysterics over their gay account of the big doings in Spokane, demand éd to see the wedding presents. Peter brought out the cocktail shaker and the cigarette lighter and Rowena showed her the watch and the candy box with the kissing Cupids.--It was the last time Row ; Tt ha Angeles Bim ps carrying a AR Bye of ns school to build, ie gd foot, pl. | 19 more paper, Personal Greetng Cards i adlolbing, the bathroom J 1e was thickly lathering his hands send money back East, He had suspected that she was in debt. Evidently her creditors were pushing her hard. He went abruptly out to the little park where they were snapping the pic tures. "You must have enough," he paid "We're both dead tired. Let's lay off." Rowena's smile was prateful, "I am tired," she confessed. When they got in the roadster to return to the hotel he sald in a voice so _ofthand and unconcerned that if she had not been so vitally interested in his words she must surely have suspected some hidden prompting. "By the way, 1 got the expense money to-day. Of course, we're not supposed to have it till Monday hut I cashed the check s0 you may as well have yours," "P-Peter!" gasped Rowena, And pressed the back of her hand quick. iy to his lips. Peter hoped she was not going to give anything away, confide any embarrassing de- tails, but he needn't have worried. Rowena shuddered her own wor ries. "Im hungry :as the dipce," he sald. "Let's sée If we cin find a Soad chop house and get a decent steak." Rowena never sald 2 word about soup. For himself Peter ordered the thickest, jmiciest steak they could get their hands on, and lenty of "French frieds." 'That sounds good," said Rowena sekly. "Two." She hoped Peter could not tell from her voice how the very thought of it made ber mouth water, "Well, there's one - nice thing 1 about trhseling trio," sald Rowena. "You know' just what to expect of every town. A bed, and food, pnd no adventupes. It seems a - bit smug after the life of adventure Peter and I have lived." Bobby sald mothing at all. She was brooding painfully over the le state of affairs in New and her heart was wrung with doubts. There was no letter for her at the hotel in Los Angeles and she wilted visibly, It was probably her Absorption in her personal grief which kept her from sensing at the first mom: ent, as the others did, that some thing was wrong. Péter registered for all = three, and the clerk instead of consulting the; room chart as clerks are sup- | posed to, turned without a word] and went into tie adjoining office. "Peter," whispered Row 1 don't like that clerk, He oka like the worst sort of manager to me. I don't Hke this hotel either. 1 have developed a sixth sense about hotels, let's go somewhere else." "Oh, that's all imagination," said Peter, uncomfortably aware that it was not imagination and that ena was right .about it, .

"More significant than the in- fluence of the United States on our writers and painters has been the economic relation between Canada and the United States. The invasion of Américan busi: ress cannot be halted by tariff walls or political speeches. The erection « fplants here soon coun- teracts any tariff moves, and the expigitation of our natjonal re- sources continues to attract Am- erican capital which has come to regard this country as simply a geographical eoénnection. . "The two countries have, by means of thelr respective business worlds, become interrela eco- nomically and even socially « to such an extent as to have become almost one unit, distinguished from the other parts of the world by their common high standard of living. If it is true, then, that snch penetration exists, of what use is our British connections?" National Problems Professor Underhill pointed out that there are two great na- tional problems {4 Canada: First, the question of uniting many di- verse racial elements by émpua- sizing such points as they may have in -common, namely social and eultural institutions that should be built up within the Do- minions second, the task of bujjd- ing epresentative nation to be dhbtinguiehed apart from the United: States.

'Survival of British Institu- tions here is not the result of connéctions. They are simply with us because the industriali- zation that has swept over the Urited States has reached us more slowly.
