JOHN STEVENS Miss Alice Davids sat in lier of- fice, marking tlic exercises of her high-school English classes. There was a timid tap on her door. The knob was turned gently and a face peeped in. "Yes, Miss Hanson?" Ruthmary Hanson's pretty little- girl's face paled. "Miss Davids." She paused, unhappily. Then, as if her coiiraRc had been gathered tip, "May I a'-k â- on a personal ques- tion?" Alice Davids smiled, "Why yes, Ruthmary, hut I can't promise to answer." The words began buhl)ling out. "Miss Davids I know you'll think I'm awfully fresh, honestly I'm not. I just have to know. Why didn't you get married instead of being a teacher?" Alice Davjds liad had many ex- periences with students' questions. Now she felt she had underesti- 4846 SIZES IIâ€" n Here's a dashing little number Pattern 4846, for all your dashing â- bout I Sharp culTs, tucks, pockets on a tiny-waisted, full-skirled dress.

NAME, AD- bRESS, STYLE NUMBER. the girl, who stared back miserab- ly, looking like a goldfish as she opened and closed her mouth, try- ing to say something that wouldn't come. Quickly her mind ran over what she knew about Ruthmary; Not too bright, just a good passing student. Ruthmary and she were friendly, but then she honestly liked all her students, and they liked her. Boy friends? Yes, there was Jim Townlcy, nice boy, good brains, fond of Ruthmary, and she seem- ingly liked him. Ambitious? Yes, that was it! Boy friend, ambitious; that motion-picture magazine that Ruthmary tried, unsuccessfully, to read one day in class. She smiled at Ruthmary, suddenly remember- ing that this child was just gradu- ating and was eighteen. Ruthmary, on the verge of tears, smiled hack. "I'm sorry. Miss Davids. I guess I shouldn't have "Ruthmary," Miss Davids inter- rupted, "you and I have always been pretty good friends, haven't we?" "Yes'm," she gulped. "If I tell you, will you promise to keep it a secret?" "Oh, yes, Miss Davids, I won't tell a soul, honest I won't. I just had to know for . . ." "1 don't have to be told, Ruth- mary You must have a good reas- on. It's a rather odd question but I don't mind answering at all. Not to a nice understanding girl like you. I like teaching very much, Ruthmary." Miss Davids went on, "Yet, I know that if I had my choice, I wouldn't be here. My John and I had such plans toge}her, such ex- citing plans." Miss Davids sighed. Ruthmary was now on the edge of her seat. "We were brought up together, went to the same schools, had the same ideas about life. Wc both liked people and we wanted our home and â€" but all that is over now, has been over for many years. Yes, dear, I like teaching, but most people aren't made to live alone, and that is especially true of wo- men. No matter how much you like your work, no matter how success- ful, you still feel the emptiness o( knowing that you have no one really close to you." Miss Davids smiled sadly. "Here's a picture of us just a few months before he left me for her." Ruthmary looked, through tears, at the handsome man who stood grinning at a much prettier Miss Davids, and then carefully put it down. She left the office without a word. Alice Davids went back to her desk, and picked up the picture. "You know," she mused, "you're rattier a good-looking fellow at that. Wait till you hear how you broke my heart." Still grinning she put the picture down. She was about to start look- ing for stationery. Then she thought â€" the themes. "I've got to grade them first .dear brother, the letter from your brok- en-hearted sister can wait." Still grinning at her lawyer-brotlier she resumed grading papers.

I mean an- other week has gone by and still no rain. We have never seen things so dry and withered before. The ground is strewn \\ ith tired, brown leaves, lacking the vjfelity to stay on the trdcs to await that first sharp frost that gives them colour and interest. Wheat grouiid all over the district is plouRlud but little of it worked and, as i'ar as wc know, none of it sown. \\ heat sown now would niorely serve as food for birds. Not only has liu-ie betn no rain but we now have another heat wave â€" only the "probs" arc that it will be of short duration, thank good- ness. However, there is one happy aspect to this hot. dry weather- it has produced a bumper crop of tomatoes. We Ii3\c been swamped with thtinâ€" and all from four dozen plants. Two wcek< ago I bought tomatoes, never expecting to get enough for canning from our own plants â€" not after the worms had done their work! But every day I have betn pirkinj.; one or more bas- kets of the fruit â€" or vegetableâ€" whichever you like to call it â€" as a result jars and iars have been filled with rich, red juice. Yes, tomatoes and peaches have kept tne busy. ♦ < » And then there was the "Ex" to go to again, and an Institute meet- ing, and on iMidav niece Joy ar- rived for a belated holiday, .^nd that's the way it rocs. .But Partner and I did have a day at the "Ex" together after all. It was Bob who stayed home to see that the home fires didn't start buin. ing. But he must certainly have had them in mind as while we were away he rigged up an old circular saw which he bought or borrowed, I'm not sure which. Anyway he had quite a pile of cordwood cut up and would have had more only the saw fell apart! At least the platform did. But Bob was quite happy rebuilding it and the next day he and his Dad went at it again and the pile grew higher and higher. Partner and 1 had a good day at the "Ex". One of (he highlights of for me was attending the lunch In Answer to Last Weelc'i Puzzle HHnra innn J ^ the Women's Building with Mrs. Kate .Mtkcn as hostess. The success of anything with Mrs. Aitken in charge is a foregone conclusion and this lunch was no exception. She is certainly the perfect hostess. And there are always interesting speak- ers and one meets old friends and new acquaintances and there is the quiet enjoyment one gets from a well-served meal in an uncrowded and airy dining-room. After lunch I headed for the Band Shell where I was to meet Partner. I forgot the rest of the people: the nois? crowds going by, as I listened to the Welsh Guards Band playing so many pieces that arc among my favorites. One felt the heat, the crowds, and the trip back and forth to the city was well worth enduriiiR as one listened in silent enjoyment to the "Hallelujah Chorus" and "Jesii, Joy of Man's Desiring". I won't sav any more be- cause I couliJn't pos.sibly tell you what it meant to hear music like that played by such a wonderful band. I was wishing Cicely could have been with us. » * • And speaking of Cicely â€" here is .something she wrote en route â€" I imagine while flying from Malton to Montrcfll and I fliink she meant it to be included in inv column. Thoughts on Leaving Canada "1 am no writer and have not the gift of expressing i.iy thoughts and feelings in an attractive way, but I should like, as a visitor, to say, 'Thank yuu, Canada, very much for a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.' As I sail conifortablv through the air, on my flight back to England, 1 fe«I I am leaving behind a very warm-hearted, friendly and gener- ous people. Like the v.tst land they live in, with its huge buildings and rolling landscapes, there is nothing mean or grudsing about thtin and they freely invite the visitor to share and enjoy everything with them.

These are the days when thous- ands cf Ontario mothers are faced with the live-tiines-a-week task of preparing lunch-boxes for the child- ren to take to school with them â€" and wondering just what combin- ations will prove not only tasty and tempting, but thoroughly nu- tritious as well. I have gathered together from here and there some recipes that I think will help. The first three are for sandwich fillings which I believe not only tlie youngsters will like, but the grown ups as well. Then ther- are a couple of cookies that are just the thing to pack in beside tlie more solid part of the luncheon.
