Mrs. Gregory that he was misrepresented. He buys the old Tudor House owned by the Hamill-llardys. Mrs. Gregory promises to mall a letter from him to Daphne arranging a meeting Daphne does not appear. On the way home Michael collides with a car driven by Diana Hamill-Haroy. of the engagement of Michael and Diana Hainill-Hardy. Mrs. (Jregorj aits Ouphne hear' from her solicitors. He was looking away from her and Lily Eden had not studied men all these years for nothing. Something was on his mind, he was worried, he was not thinking of her, had not been paying her a scrap of attention all through dinner. She put two and two together. It must be Daphne. So if she couldn't screw a bit of oof out of him for one thing she might do it for another. Wait till she saw Daphne now ........ or should she ven- ture? She decided to venture. "Michael," she said suddenly, and touching his arm noted that he gave a start as though his thoughts had been miles away, "what will you do if I arrange for you to meet Daphne?" He looked at her for a second in surprise, then flushed in anger. "I don't know what you are talking about," he said stiffly. She hesitated. But the Recording Angel must have set a good mark, for once, against Lily Eden's name. For the first time in many years she acted in disinterested fashion. "I don't know what it is between you and Daphne," she said, soberly, "but I know she is a good little sport, and she's promised to look me up. I could arrange it so that you saw her, if that's what you want." For a second Michael Borde hesitated. Then pride came back. No, Daphne had turned him down. She had believed her father's word without proof, refused to give him a chance to explain; he could not forgive that. His letter to her had been very humble, and he had made it clear that he worshipped her, and that all he desired was to set himself right in her eyes. It must have reached her, for Lorna Gregory had enclosed it in her own letter, he had seen her seal it up before his eyes. Although there were moments when his heart ached for her, resolutely now he set these longings away. He was accustomed to doing without things he wanted; all his life he had done without love, all his life, too, he had forced himself to with the commonplace, himself with remembr everything comes to' the has patience to wait. "It's very good of you," he said, with a smile. "However, what you suggest would serve no good purpose I'm afraid. So we must leave it at that." But that was what Lily Eden did not intend to do. Like most women, she was possessed of a good share of curiosity, and sensing the useless-ness of getting this satisfied through Michael Borde, she decided that it must be to Daphne herself she would have to address the next attempt. But could she have seen Daphne herself at that moment, and known the conflicting emotion which was tearing at her heart, Lily Eden would have had less hope of attaining that object. Having spent the afternoon at the solicitor's office, finished shopping, and arranged to call on the morrow to complete the signing of certain documents, Daphne remembered Lily Eden, looked up the address again, and decided she would call there. "She was in a fluster tho other day, but perhaps if I approached her quietly I shall find out all 1 want to know," she told herself. A bit of a mug, Lily Eden had described Michael Borde, and her eyes had narrowed like slits. "What's it worth to know the truth?" she had asked. The truth about what? Dapkm knew this referred to Michael Borde knew this was why she was going content nforting that WHY DAPHNE RAN AWAY. As she mounted the staircase to that top-floor flat Daphne found herself slightly out of breath, and paused on the landing outside the door. Yes it was the right place. She could hear Lily's loud laugh, and her voice shouting some remark to someone. "Sure you're not tired of waiting?" shouted Lily Eden. Then Daphne caught her breath sharply, but it was not through the stairs. Distinctly she heard a man answer and recognized the voice. Michael Borde. What was he doing here in Lily Eden's flat? What other explanation could there be except that her father's story had been true, his tempt at denial false, that all Lily Eden's talk the other day had been mere bluff to put her off .... Daphne turned, and like a frightened creature, scurried down the stairs, out into the street, and across the square ■thankful that she had neither knocked nor rung the doorbell. She was so angry that she did not notice where she was going, took the first tram that stopped, and was carried on for some distance before she realizeu that she was going in the wrong direction, but as she alighted again a slightly bitter smile twisted her mouth. "Don't be a fool. Daphne Eden," she adjured herself. "A man like that isn't worth wasting your thoughts over. The only thing now is to keep cool, listen to what that woman has to say, and draw your own conclusions." At any rate, life should be more easy now, she decided. No doubt remained. Michael Borde had ruined her father's life. All that was left was to pay back when the chance arrived. How near that opportunity lay, Daphne Eden little guessed just then. But again the little gods of chance that juggle with men's lives must have grinned as they tangled the strings that day. "You've been perfectly sweet to me," murmured Lily Eden, and in spite of her attempt at coquetry there lay a certain wistfulness in her voice as Michael Borde deposited her outside the block of flats. "It's a long time since I've been out to dinner like this. If there' thing I can do........" she pause denly. "Look here, Michael Borde," she said abruptly, "you've been jolly decent to me, and ybu may say I've no business to barge into your private affairs, but if there's anything I can do at any time ...... when I see Daphne ...... I will." As he drove away Michael face was set in hard lines. Reaching his service flat, he heard- the phone shrilling as he entered, flung down his hat and coat impatiently, and took up the receiver, wondering who could be ringing him To his it , Di- ana Hamill-Hardy, whom he had not known to be in London. "That you, Michael?" she called impatiently. "I've been trying to get you for hours." "Sorry," he returned laconically. "I've been out to dinner." (To. be Continued.)

I have a letter from a married man who asks my advice on a blem that is cropping up quite often nowadays. Here is what she says: "I am a married woman in my middle thirties, and have two- m-iiiiS children. My husband lost'"Tks'.pc sition about a year ago, and hasr not been able to get new employment. Although we had some money saved up, we have still had a difficult time making ends meet, and 1 have got to a point where I am utterly fed up with the situation. Before I ried, I held a good position, and I find that I can get my old work back again, but with not so good < salary--enough, at any rate, for u to get along on. However, for som< time, my husband and myself have not been getting along very well. W bicker on the slightest pretext, an I am seriously wondering whether t leave him, and take a place of my own. I don't really see why I should be the one to work and keep the home going, while my husband idles What do you suggest?" I haven't given the letter in full, but surely the salient points. Now, turning to the two specimens of handwriting, I find firstly that the writing of the lady who wrote to me, shows that she is very self-contain-1, even to the point of being selfish, re sees only her own point of ew. She is shrewd, a quick-think-', and is extremely intelligent. But that factor of "self" stands flagpole, and effects every other trait in her character. She simply think of anyone outside herself. On the other hand, her hus-s writing shows more toler-and affection. He is more kindly and is straightforward, honest, loyal and is capable of getting things done. Perhaps not particularly intellectual but steady. It seems to me, in the first place, that these bickerings have been caused by a lack of appreciation on the wife's part for her husband's inability to get work. This is unfortunate, and my correspondent is taking a rather one-sided point of with which I cannot have much pathy. These are topsy-turvy days, and many men, similar to the wri er's husband, are unable to obtai work, through no fault of their own. He, like many others, is the victim of circumstances entirely beyond his control. Instead of finding fault with him, and taking every opportunity to criticize, she should be more sympathetic and tolerant. However, her lack of sympathy is clearly shown in her writing. My advice to her is to take the work and continue living with her husband and family, at the same time MerHelpstheHabitof CleanTeeth SweetBreat SalinSfeinl' HairHealth; ST. CLAIR dogist) modifying her outlook as regards her husband. She would find, in all probability, that a more kindly attitude would spur him to greater effort to obtain work of some kind. To the husband, I suggest that, if it is impossible to get anythii _ his own line of work, at least he try something, even a selling canvassing job. Anything to keep himself busy, and help to retain his self-respect and esteem. I have given rather unusual proi inence to this letter this week, because I find that this problem is appearing quite often, and it would certainly seem that there are some wives who are content to be cheerful and friendly when things are going alright, but immediately disaster hits the home, in the shape of employment, as a rule through fault of the husband, then they make their husbands' lives unhappy through ill-timed and unfair criti- I am happy to add that there are by far the majority of women who are not like this, but in those c; where it is so, a good deal of happiness and trouble could be si by mutual understanding of the difficulties to be contended with.

Only one city of over 100,000 population, San Antonio, Texas, has abandoned the street car for the bus, and three cities, Bridgeport, Des Moines and Akron, have, after a trial, restored the street car. Nowhere in the world, not even in New York, were subways paying propositions, he said, and a subway on Vonge Stree from Front to St. Clair would cost approximately $25,-000,000 or almost one-half the city's present total investment in transportation.
