That gaudy, multi-coldred dress with its golden sash had betn displayed because party time was near and Madame BInce felt some girl niiKht like it for a gay affair. Of course, the woman was small and thin enough to slip inlf) it. lUit she had a sweet face, the kind that made you think of a mother in lavender and lace. Mutely, .Mady showed her to the dressing room, then walk((l over to the sweater coniiter. A minute later the customer shyly opened the dicssing room door. "It's hraiilijut!" she cried. "I know Tom will rciiiriiihcr tiic tis I used to look. Yon know hojv hii.'il'ands arc. They ju.'it don't realise a moman doesn'l grow any younger 7uilh lime." So that was the wrinkle. She was trying to become a spring chicken for her husband's sake. .Somehow it <Iidn't sei-m right for a nice old lady. Mady couldn't help thinking that some day she might get mar- ried and she'd grow old, too. Then, would she have to suffer the experi- ence this woman was sulTcring? Mady walked over to the woman and said, "I've just thought of a special dnss for madam. A pale blue creation that would be chic with custuine iiiarls and matched ear- rirns" "Pale blue? Ob, no! My husband loves colors that are bright and alive. You see, he's an artist, and a bril- liant one. loo." She spoke in a proud voice and snioiiilud llic Rainbow Special with work worn hands. Mady asked hesi- tantly, "I don't mean to pry, but is your husband ill? I'erh.ips a Mural dres.s â€" " "Tom ill ? Yon wouldn't ask that a you saw him. lie's big and husky, and he always says my cooking's making him fat." She beamed until the noticed Mady staring wonder- ingly at her hatids. Then she said quietly, "I've worked at washing dishes in a restaurant for the past 10 years and I'm proud of it be- cause â€" well, because I'm doing it tor my husband. But I guess you're loo yoinig to understand that love means more than roses and kisses. "My Tom's worth anything, any sacrifice," the lady conliiuied, and brushed at her cheeks with sudden Mmcmbrance. "And 1 must hurry. He's waiting outside In the car and I Imow he's growing impatient." STUFF AND THINGS Jaivts always aerves this he used to be a tennia way- itarl That was the last straw ! Mady .shook her head despairingly. "Erma, is that you?" a deep voice suddenly boomed from the doorway. "I got tired of wailing and crossed the street." The woman gasped and hurried over to a tall, dark-haired man. "Oh, you shouldn't have, Tom. I was coming right out." Why, the lady was actually quiv- ering as though she had committed some heinous crime by making him wait a few minutes! Mady glared at him. So this was the husky artist! He was husky enough to swing a pick and shovel. Well, why didn't he, instead of making his pitifully small wife slave for him? It this was love she'd steer clear of it! "That new dress does things to you, Erma !" He placed his huge hands on her shoulders and held her off at arm's length, ".^h, those col- ors, my dear! They're soft, yet warm and alive. I can't wait to get hold of some paints and brushes." "Now, Tom, you shouldn't work so soon after the operation. You know what the doctor said." lie nodded llionghlfiiUy and suihcd. "(jucss I can wait a little longer at that. But say, my vision's inif'roving every minute. I just eros.<:ed the street myself. .And only this morning yoK looked soâ€" so colorless. But now, I s^irar yoii look just â€" just tike you did before 1 went blind ten years ago, Erma." F.rma's answering smile was as bright as the sun. Mady felt her heart begin to pound furiously. The artist was recovering from an eye operation and probably would never see colors normally again I Alberta Oil I'or some time, unoflicial fore- casts have suggested that the de- velopment of the oil fields of which Edmonton is a focal point would be "the biggest thing yet" in Al- berta, and in economic effects might well beronic one of the Dominion's biggest also. Not only is the oil comparable to the Oklahoma and Texas products, but responsible geologists are now convinced, althougli they are cau- tious in going on record publicly, that the whole area tributary to Ed- monton will prove as extensive and aa productive as either the Okla- homa or Texas fields.

My background is a fairly aver- age one. A country boy, brick- layer, came to the big city (250,- 000) for a better job, joined the army I9:i9, demobbed and now back on the travel again. My pay amounts to £6 ($24) a week; so now you know my angle on life. 4> * * A complete "scenario" is imi'os- sible, hut here's an impression of today, Sunday, Sept. 28, 1917. Our sumiuer is still holding on. This morning broke fine and warm. The milkman calls as usual (7 a.m.). Two pints for four of us. Can you imagine him making that little tap-tap on the tiled paths as he drops his bottles all along the street of little two-storied houses with enormous hedges in place of rail- ings? Father-in-law makes the cup of tea this morning, which we drink in bed, and then turn over till the paper comes at 9 a.m. I got up then. I want to check my "pools results" on yesterday's matches. , You probably know we have here 1,000,000 football fans and 3,000,000 who "do the pools." Breakfast and then we get our daughter off to church. Wife and I will probably go this evening, as it is Harvest Festival. The kid- dies were decorating the church yesterday. • « « This morning I shall ride around the city on my bike. I've been here fifteen years, but it still fas- cinates me. From the top of my street 1 can look across the park and see the gray walls of Port- chester Castle that stands on the creek. And to the left are all the shiips of Portsmouth anl Gosport Bring 'Em Back Tliousands of Hindus and Mos- lems in refugee camps dotting the frontiers of India and Pakistan have a new slogan : "Bring back the Brit- ish!" In Lahore, where a reign of ter- ror has taken many lives and dest- royed much property, flowers liave appeared on the statue of Queen Victoria. In Amritsar a young native army officer told an American correspon- dent that "freedom has brought us nothing but mob rule." Harbor, and to the right thf long ridge of the green South Downs. Up above the sky is blue, the sea cadets march by in step with their bugle baud, motorists whizz down to Soiulisea beach with the last drop of basic petrol (but after to- morrow) and there are crowds waiting lor the bus to take them over the hill for a last picking of blackberries.
