"|Seventh avenue and | | {THE CONFESSIONS OF ROXANE (By Frances Walter) MORE TALK AND : VERY LITTLE ACTION, (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate). Although my mind was made up to face Mrs. Edward 'Blake in 'her home with my daring proposal, and al- though my plan had the indorsement of Edward and Sylvia, I did not in- tend to do anything haerriedly. On more than one occasion 1 had had my fondest wishes blasted because of hasty action, and those disappoint- ing| experiences had taught me that a little reflection sometimes goes a long way toward winning a victory. In this particular case I felt a special need for caution. Mrs. Blake un- doubtedly was a strange woman. | 'believed that her philosophical stud- les were assumed and that they were 'not the result of any liking on her part for metaphysics. But admitting that they were assumed she still would have beén an unusual creat- ure, if she were not sincere it fol- lowed that she was excessively vain, and if she were vain it was import- ant that I should know it. If, to the contrary, my belief were wrong; if she were in reality a real student of philosophy, then I was compelled to admit, my difficulties were greatly increased, or I should have to deal with an extraordinary person, and not merely one who pos- sessed a remarkable amount of van- ity. But Ler statement to Edward when he left ber indicated that she was not sincere, and in making up my mind finally on the matter I took this mainly into consideration, gov- erning myself by what he had told me of his last interview with her. While I was debating this anatter alone in my room. Edward and Sylvia were outside, cooing to each other like a couple of turtle doves who, after having been separated in a delving storm, finally had found their way back to a novel haunt. The sound of their voices brought me back from my thoughts of his wife to a consideration of their presence in my home. What were their im- mediate plans? Did they expect to continue their disfegard for conven- rible lesson, conduct themselves in a more circumspect manner? One thing was very evident. That was that they should not change their mode of living until after I had seen Mrs. Blake. If then there should seem to be no hope that Ed- ward could obtain his release, a seri- ous question would have to be de- cided by them, but as long as there was hope there was only one proper course: Edward must continue his residence in the quarters which he had established and Sylvia must re- main with ane. It is one thing in- nocently to fall into error and quite another to continue in a known error, however innocently it was committed in the first place Edward, I was sure, understood the niceties of the situation, but Sylvia did not. She clung to 'him when he arose to go as if she feared hve might never return. "Oh, 1 cannot bear to have you leave me again!" she cried. 'Do make him stay, Roxane," -appealing to me. "I know he does not have to go to that lonely old place of his. It is so much more pleasant here, where we all can be together." Edward glanced doubtfully at me, and then nodded imperceptibly. "We must separate for a time," he told her, as he gently disengaged him self from her embrace. "Mrs. Pem- broke understands and will explain to you later why I cannot stay here. After a little while there will be a change, and then we never shall be separated." She clung all the more tenaciously to him and refused to let him go un- til I, much against my will, took a 'hand and led her away. "I shall go to Mrs, Blake to-mor- row," I told her. "When I return I shall have news for you, I am sure." "Oh, Roxane, you are so brave and good!" "I am not. Iam merely a meddle- some young woman, who is likely to get into a great deal of trouble. I am getting so that I do not know myself and pretty soon I shall be wearing trousers like Dr. Mary Walker." "Trousers or no trousers, you are good and brave."

New York, May 19.--That the loss of life among Canadian troops has been as high as one men in every seven was indicated yesterday from reports of representatives of insur- ance companies im the Dominion, who are delegates to the convention of the Actuarial Association of Am- erica, at the Hotel Astor. The highest mortality has been in the infantry service, where, some of the actuaries said, the death rate of times reached 20 per cent. The low- est is in the medical corps. Canadian and other insurance companies doing business in the Deo- minion paid out nearly $7,000,000 in claims up to mber 31, 1916, according to A. B. Wood, actuary of the Sun Life Insurance Company. "The war rates of the ,Canadian edmpanies run from $75 to $150 a thousand per year to men in service in Europe," he said.

The Duke of Connaught paid graceful tributes to the work of Lady Jrummond, "the ¥fe and soul of the aovement," and to the Hon.

Silks, Velvets, and Motors. Sir Edmund Walker's annual ad- dress as President of the- Canadian Bank of Commerge was a masterly review of war-time conditions in trade and finance. He spoke of "prosperity beyond anything we have ever known in almost every part of Canada," but emphasized the fact that extravagance is out of place in | view of the changed situation which may follow the conclusion of peace. His remark that $20,000,000 left the country last year in payment for motor cars, silks, and velvets con- stitutes a severe reflection upon the apathy of many people in presence of their country's trials.
