Miss Crick, his secretary, faced, eagle-eyed young worn ;d three roses in a plain gk on his desk that morning, and the unaccustomed tribute secretly pleased him, althought he grunted in her presence and pushed them away. Miss Crick, who knew her boss , smiled when with a sheaf of documents in her hand for typing, she got on the other side of the door. "He's different, Florrie," she said to the other secretary, as she fitted t sheet of paper in her machine, „-l said I was gure it wasn't illness only, now I'm certain. I shouldn't be ft bit surprised if the Chief has fallen in love." "Get out. Not he," scoffed the other girl. "I don't believe he is the sort of man who'd ever think twice about a woman. Besides, he'd have to eat his own words," and she patted down her cart£»«i9|^»'ed locks. "Hasn't he preached for years that 'He travels the farthest who travels alone'?" Remember that, Crickie, my Miss Crick smiled, said no r both typewriters clacked away, in the inner room Michael Borde lifted the little crystal vase, smelled reflectively at the roses curiously enough the very words Miss Crick had spoken came back to his own mind. "This won't do," he reminded himself. "Business is business. It won't mix with sentiment." For the roses had reminded him of Lady Trottenleigh, and then by way of her dissertation on rose-growing to Werburge Lucy, and from Werburge Lucy, curiously enough, to Daphne, instead of Diana Hamill-Hardy. He frowned. It would not do. Resolutely he placed the little vase on the other side of an engagement diary, resolutely he attacked a sheaf of papers, but now and again their perfume met him, and now and again through his brain there wandered some distracting thought. Odd how they should make him think of Daphne again. This would not do. Again he bent his head over business, when a minute or two later Miss Crick entered. "There's a ... a person to see you, Mr. Borde. She called twice before this morning, and she will not state her business. She declares it something personal. "Tell her to wri.te," he snapped.

Another well-known authority on foot health, pointed out the necessity for careful bathing of the feet and the value of exercising their muscles regularly.

"Miss Eden," answered the girl, and was astonished at the effect the words" fi^d on Michael Borde, for he sprang to his feet, his face flushed, and his eyes aglow.

Show her in at once, Miss Crick," he said, and the girl went out. her eyebhows uplifted. "Yes, he's going to see her," she sgnalled to the other girl, who glanced up from her typewriter. Michael Borde pulled the roses towards him again, and found that his pulses were racing faster. A nice thing for an engaged man to find himself like this at thoughts of meeting another girl. Daphne . . . Daphne . . . Daphne . . . now he would know why she did not come to meet him, why she had upset his life. For, of course, it was her fault.

Diana had meant to marry him, she said so, in order to get back Wer-burge-Lucy. But if he and Daphne had not been playing at this game of cross purposes that could never have happened. So it was all Daphne's fault . . . bless her. But he was not going to hold that up against her now, and with a benevolent smile, he adjusted his cuffs, straightened his tie, and waited, his eyes on the door. Downstairs Miss Crick entered the waiting-room. "Yes, Mr. Borde will see you for a few minutes," she said, but her voice was curt, and for once in her business career Miss Crick was totally taken aback. "Simply reeking of cheap scent, my dear," she said to her companion afterwards. "What the chief wants to see her for puzzles me." "What did he say?" "Say? He simply stared at her, that was all. I wished I could have waited. I don't believe he knew who she was. However, she's in there still, so there must be some reason why he should see her." "Miss Eden, si»," announced Miss spire freely, Along with setting up exercises to keep the figure trim and supple every girl should do foot exercises to strengthen her arches and ankles. And she never should wear high heels for walking on those days when she has to stand up for hours at ; tim Honey Colour and Flavour Honey varies in colour and flavour so that there is no difficulty in finding a honey to suit every taste. On account of this variation of characteristics, honey is classified and graded according to its colour and quality. The colour classes most commonly used as "White," "Golden," "Amber," and "Dark." Colour, however, does not affect the food value of honey. From the nutritional standpoint, all colours have equal value, but the flavour of the darker coloured honeys is generally much stronger than the lighter coloured kinds. The quality grades of honey are Nos. 1. 2. 'and 3, indicating texture, density and flavour. The lighter coloured and highly graded honeys nre especially adapted for table use and as a rule are more expensive than the dark or low graded honey, a fact that must be taken into consideration by the buyer when purchasing honey for cooking purposes. The lower grades of honey are equally as good as the higher grades when used as a substitue for sugar in cooking, but when delicate flavours are desired be sure to use light honey. To the bee-keeper who produces honey for his own use, value is of secondary importance, so that in addition to substituting honey for jams, jellies, and marmalades, he is in the position of being able to use honey for sugar in cooking with most pleasing re- Beauty The silent ghost of a sailboat ; the moonlight.

My remarks in some earlier articles, regarding the extent to which Graphology can help in formicg your future, have inspired a numb readers to write and ask for m: finite information on this point. This ^ems an opportune time for mi > so, as it is the beginning of What you are, and what you do, depend to a large extent on your character. Other things do enter into it, such as education, environment, upbringing, opportunities, and so on --but these are all .relative, and can be influenced by one's character. People with suffcient strengtt, of character can overcome all defic-iences in these other angles, by applying themselves to the task. Take two men, to llustrate my point. One of them is strong-willed, determined, persistent and persevering. He makes up his mind to proceed along certain lines in order to reach a definite peak of progress. He has the strength of character to apply himself and to keep on, even though obstacles present themselves. He may, at times, become a trifle down, hearted, but it is merely a temporary feeling, and he reassures himself by calling on his self-confidence and by renewing his efforts. The other man is indefinite, vacillating and weak. He has little or no will-power, cannot make up his mind what he wants to become, nor how to go about the work of getting some-where. Be procrastinates--hopes ;!or something to turn up, but doesn't make the necessary effort to achieve things for himself. Then things turn out badly, or he cannot see anything in the future to hope for, or to look forward to, he gets dejected, and he starts blaming conditions or lack of opportunity--anything and every, thing.but himsi " Adelaide Stre In confiding ii i two men can rea-.j be confidential. sonably look forward to a better future?

Now, Graphology, the science ot Character Reading from Handwriting, ca::i tell your characteristics. It can tell each of the two men whose cases I have quoted, exactly wherein lies his strength and weaknesses. Graphology ;ar encourage each of these men--but in a different way.

Toronto: The' outstanding characteristic in your nature is your procrastination, Nellie. You put off doing things that demand immediate attention. This is one of the of the minor vices of character and I strongly advise you to cultivate more promptitude and definite, ness. You have a rather a^ectionate nature and express your feelings readily.

She is--of all things--engineer on a railway. The line, to be sure, only runs a mile, but it has, like any other railway system, directors, officers and stockholders. And it is ranked as a regular road, too, the U.S. Bureau of Economics declaring it "is the shortest railway of which we have any record." KNOWS HER BUSINESS. So it is not an unusual sight to see the young engineer chugging along in her little locomotive Pulling its one coach, her hand on the throttle, eyes glued to the tracks, yanking every now and then at the ■ell-u whistle FROM GIRL TO WOMAN Crick, and Michael Borde came forward, then stopped short as an overdressed, unmistakably middle-aged an entered. (To be Continued) Issue No. 1--'35 Commuters haven't a worry when Joyce is at the controls. They say, in fact, that there is a touch of gentleness about the starting and stopping of the train that seems to be missing when a masculine hand is at the brake controls. But engineering runs in Joyce's family. When the first locomotive was purchased for the line in 1900, her grandfather, John A. Short, was the engineer. That first locomotive bucked like a billy goat and the people had a free show every time it went through town. In 1904 business grew to such proportions that a real railway coach was purchased and three years later Joyce's father Earl Short, became engineer on the line. He died in 1922 Three years agp his daughter, Joyce came to Augusta to make her home with her grandparents. She took an instantaneous liking to the little road which had become almost a family affair. The line--the Augusta Tramway and Transfer Company--has had a colorful past. The distance was first negotiated by mule power. The old mule car is still in existence, and there are plenty of memories about the old coach, with its varnished interior and upholstered seats. RA1ROADING HER AMBITION. _ 1 The fare for the little line is 10 48 cents. That is for the whole mile or any fraction thereof. And should you climb into the coaoh and look out to see that a pretty curly-headed girl is manning the throttle, you needn't have the slightest fear, for Joyce is a real engineer. And railroading is Joyce's ambition in life. "The Business Women's Clubs all argue that women have a place in the business world, and why not in the railway world?" asks this trim The Poet at Church Robert Burns attended church one Sunday and had difficulty in securing a seat. A young lady, perceiving his difficulty, made room for hire in her pew. The sermon was ? denouncement of sinners with liberal quotations from the Scriptures tc verify the Scotch pastor's threats oi punishment. The young lady appeared mucl impressed and not a little agitated, Burns, perceiving this, took hei Bible and wrote these lines on i blank leaf: Fair maid, you need not take th( hint, Nor idle texts pursue; 'Twas only sinners that he meant, Not angels such as you. --Christian Science Monitor "The pleasures of philosophy are like the heights of love, to which nc mean soul can come."--Will Durant.
