<5 THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE ONT- THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1935 NOVELTIES IN THE NEWS By GAEL RENFREW in the Toronto Mail and Empire THE TUDOR HOUSE By MRS. STANLEY WRENCH (Author of "SJig for the Moon," Strange Lovers," etc). "Well, if.they sacked men, there must have been a reason," pursued Florrie. "What was wrong?" "They got the wind up properly over that other car coming along, and tried to cut down expenses. However, thank goodness that's over. Multi-Motors is going strong again, and when the Chief cc back all this trouble will have died down." "But everybody say's he's money. Didn't he speculate in City? Weren't those stories true about his gambling, too?" "Maybe they were true, and pe haps when he's back we shall find tight hand again." Back To Life A Red Admiral flew from the clump of Michaelmas daisies to the tall sunflowers that heavily bowed, then back again to the mauve and purple blossoms, and Michael Borde pushed his invalid chair a little farther along the bricked path. Sunshine was good, his thin hands > no longer shaking as a month before, when for the first time he had propelled himself along here, looking wistfully down the Vale of the Red Horse. That month had been a busy one for him, too, for as soon as he found brain and body fit enough he had insisted upon seeing solicitors as well as works manager, and little by little began to lay fingers again on the pulse of his busi- It was extraordinary, too, how contact with working organisation acted as a tonic. Although crippled for some time to come unable to be moved, except on this same level, he found himself growing stronger every day, and if his doctors had allowed, would have occupied himself for longer time than he could row give to details dealing with organisation and output. He watched the Red Admiral and sighed, counting up the months before he dare hope to be up and about again. Although both doctors were reassuring, they were firm upon that one thing, and for some time he must be content to stay here. Turning now, hearing the sound of footsteps, he smiled faintly. Accustomed to Lily Eden's surveillance; accustomed, too, to her changed demeanour, he yet remained puzzled over many thing's. That he had been rescued by Daphne after his accident, he knew, that she was away in London he also knew, but exactly what position her step-mother occupied in this household he could not discover. To all his questionings . Eden shook her head and smil- ed.

It has taken the depression to make the business man enlist it as his main money-maker. Thus, on the basis of something bizarre in entertainment a recently opened restaurant in New York is meeting with phenomenal success. It is staging its "show" in the ceiling instead of on the floor!

He stared, turned, saw her eyes, and the unexpectedness of her words, coupled with the look in her face, took him unawares. Forgetting everything, he held out his hands, for a minute it seemed as though time stood still, as though all bitterness and heartache had never been, as though he and she had stepped back to a green garden, and life was as it had been when she had laid her hands in his and he had known what a woman's surrender and a man's longing meant.

Get a bottle from your druggist today; VEGETABLE COMPOUND A very interesting question comes the mail, and because it i; | of considerable bearing on the pos . sibilities of character reading from j handwriting, I am dealing with it n this article. ! My correspondent says: "If writing is so characteristic of the individual why do the schools insist that th< pupils imitate a copybook pattern 1 ... I myself was an excellent copybook writer, but as soon as I was no i forced to write in that way, I stopped and wrote in any old way. 1 must add that most of my friends who were also excellent copybook stylists at school, now write no better than I do". It will be obvious that- educational authorities cannot take every angle of things into their consideration. Their task, in regard to writing, is to teach the rudiments of it, and for this reason, they have to adopt a standard style. It is manifestly Tmpracticable to attempt to teach hundreds of pupils to take but a single school, and yet allow them all to use their own systems. It is the same with teaching people to write as it is 4n all other branches of learning. We must go from the simple to the complex. The real essence of this question, however, lies in the confession of the correspondent. She admits that in spite of being an excellent copybook writer, once she was away from the arbitrary influence of that system, she reverted, probably gradually, to an individual style of writing. In other words, she gradually began to express her own individuality and character. This confession goes to the very heart of the value of Graphology. Graphologists maintain, and prove the truth of their claims by the accurate character delineations they make, that handwriting is the hallmark of the individual's character; that people write in a certain way because their characters and natures are of a certain type, and they possess certain definite characteristics. In spite of various systems and styles of writing, we all ultimately express our own individual style and in doing so, present a picture of our characters. It is because of this that a character reading of yourself from your handwriting can be so definitely helpful to you. Would YOU like to have YOUR character analysed from YOUR handwriting? This well -.known Graphologist can help you as he has helped so many others. And he may be able to help you to know your friends better. Send specimens of the handwriting you wish to .be analysed, stating birthdate in each case. Send 10c coin for each .specimen, and enclose with a 3c stamped addressed envelope, to: Geoffrey St. Clair, Room 421, 73 Adelaide St. W., Toronto, Ont. All letters are confidential and will be answered as quickly as possible. The season approaches when every home-owner in Simcoe and the isurrounding villages of Norfolk County should be giving thought to the beautification of his premises and thus to the improvement in ap-| pearance of his community. While ' horticultural work has enjoyed a tremendous boom in Norfolk in the last few years, there remains plenty of room for further development. Every unimproved or unplanted home can be made more attractive by the judicious use of trees, shrubs, flowers and well-kept grass. The old saying that a home is not a home until it is planted very well emphasizes the necessity and wisdom of planting. Further, the progressiveness and thrift of a commodity or a municipality are often reflected in its appearance and the best advertising that any community can do is to present a pleasing, inviting appearance to the world -- an appearance of prosperity and industry, reflected by well-planted and well-kept public and private gounds. We are influenced to a greater extent than we realize by our surroundings. Childen ane particularly sensitive in this regard. Surely a home in and around which flowers are grown is a better place to bring up children than a home where no attention whatever is paid to these friends of the plant kingdom. As the twig is bent the tree is inclined, is an old saying and very applicable in connection with the training of children. If children are taught to love flowers and to become familiar with them, their hearts will be filled with love for these things which leave less room in their hearts and minds for the things that hurt and destroy. The objection is frequently heard that gardens and flowers cost too much or that they take too much time. The truth is that it is not eo much a matter of money or time as it is of desire and disposition. If we are disposed to have gardens and flowers and really desire to have attractive home surroundings, we will have them no matter how busy we may be. Information as to suitable varieties for planting may be obtained from your local Horticultural Society or from the Ontario Agricultural College. The cost in any event need be only trifing and the amount spent on the nursery stock necessary to improve the average home will be found one of the finest investments that can be made. It will pay great dividends in satisfaction and will increase the value of your home. prove your street and thus have a part in beautifying your community.
