Permanent troubles are effectively concealed. meee CHAPTER LXXVIL Was Neil's conscience troubling him that he was so impatient Row-a: days? He never used to be so. This occurred fo me when I left Mm in the library, 1 felt disappointed that be would not talk to me. Ever since his western trip he had refused to 'really talk of anything with me. Yet in spite of the disappointment. I was happler because Mr. Frederick had been With him. I wondered what he had said to Neil; if he had told him of what was gossiped concerning his business; if he had advised him--of- fered to 'nelp him get straightened out? Someway I felt sure he could Jqnake everything come right--if only Neil would let him. 1 gave the bills I had laid upon the desk only a fleeting thought. I had spent: so much money, Tun such big Cream Gold Soap is not only big but solid. This is proved by its ex- ceptionally heavy weight and by the way it lasts. Instead of crumbling and softening, Gold Soap wears away very slowly | and . It can be used down to the thinnest wafer. Gold Soap is made in the Procter & Gamble oh Hamil Canad bills without a suspicion of a doubt Abat it was the right thing for me to do, that they seemed of littlé conse- quence. Wnat muuered was Neil. I by being associated with men of 'shady character' his business 'was ruined bis character assailed, he must disassociate himdelf from them. Of course, regardless of what even Mr. Frederick had told me, Neil had been led astray by these men. They were all older than he, most of them mugh older. He was full of enthusi- asm, anxious ndt only to make money, but to prove his ability in the business world.' Really even now 1 cannot but think he cared more for that than for the money. He loved Hattery especially in regard to his cleverness in outstripping others fi- nancially. 1 had been so proud of him that I had fed his vanity lavish- ly ever since I married him, Others had also--until lately. I was rather anxious too because his aunt, Mrs. Carter who lived next us. at home, had written she was coming to pay us a visit. I knew how strictly economical she Was, how lit- tle she thought or cared for show of auy kind, 1 wondered if she would be. inquisitive, and if she would either hear or guess at the reports concerning Neil, When I read her lett o Neil he looked anything but plessed. "It's rather a bore having her just now," he sald, "but 1 suppose there is no help for it.

You must take her around a lot, and ask some people here to meet her to make up for my inability to do much to entertain her." I thought of this also while 1 sat in my room until dimner should be announced, and while Neil rested in the library. Ialso hated to have her come. Of course I should take ber out, the theatre, ote. But I would ask no one to meet her, save Lor- raine and Mrs. Price, a plain sort of a woman sbout Mrs. Carter's age, A woman who bad a good social posi- tion, but no money to speak of and who always accepted invitations where she thought she would have a 800d meal.

I asked when dinner was announeed, and he rushed upstairs to. freshen up a little. 'Don't hurry so, the dinner can wait a moment." ) "I feel lot better! 1 must have dropped off to sleep as soon as you came up stairs, What hdve you been doing sitting here in the dark?" Un- til he spoke of it I had not realized that I had not switched on the lights. "Thinking---your sunt comes day after to-morrow, you know." "Yes, and if Frederick is still in town we'll invite him up to dinner While she is here.. I want to talk to him, we can We excused immediately dinner is over; yet aunt will fee! fiat- tered to meet him. He's just the sort she likes." "l guess he's the sort everyone kes. You think a good deal of him yourself, don't you?" "In a way, yes, He is inclined to be an old woman about some things." I thought I knew to what he refer- red. To-morrow-~Neil Laughs at Bar- bara's Fears, TALKING IT OVER ~With Lorna Moon-- Stupid Man "You know, since I got my car 1 don't mind walking a bit," said the Smart young society woman, with a chuckle at her own expense. Before Fred got me the car I complained bitterly every block I walked. Now I insist on walking a little every day for my health. I suppose-it's the fact that I have that perfect] Tqvely car at 'home that makes walking $0 attractive."

The word Canadian" was merely substituted for 'American' in a topical ballad intended to im- mortalize the soldier who had never been "lcked." Fortunately the words "German" and "Turk" have not enough syllables to fit the rhythm of a score that was adapted original- ly for Americans, so. we may hope to be spared news that the song is hav- ing a run in enemy lands after peace admits outside talent. » .To absorb the Canadian point of {view we have only to imagine the ne a yun theatres of ac. tors in Canadian orm singing an ng. bombast proclatming that r that it is hot too} it in winter if you: the W. §.

I 'was struck with an article written by Robert Blachiord, the great English social- ist. . . Mr. Blatchford had re~ ceived a letter from an optician in England who wrote as follows: "1 am a practical watch and cloek maker and optician, and besides possessing the oldest business in the town, I am old-fashioned enough to love my children and to wish to do my best for them, AND PAY FOR IT. "1 approached the principal of one of those higher schools, somewhat enobbishly described as 'for the sons of gentlemen," and was told that my boys could not be accepted because 1 "kept a shop" in the town. other words, becausa my children hive been so foolish as to choose a vulgar tradesman for a father, they are to be socially and educationally ostracised, "I had hoped that four years of horrible war had washed out that kind of snobbery and class cleavage, but it appears I was wrong. "1 may mention that the parents of at least two of the high school scholars owe me money which I shall never get." . 'Commenting on this letter, Mr. Blatchford stated: "This matter of the opticians letter may seem. tri- vial. But it is not. Nor doés the matter end there, for the letter in- dicates something more than a class or caste division amongst the peo- ple; it shows us quite plainly that there is something radically and seriously wrong with a nation in which such blind snobbery is poss- ible. It shows a natfonal misread- Ing of values, an apprajsement of men not by their deservihigs, nod by their ability, nor by their character, but by their garments, or their oc- cupations, or their manner of pro- nounecing certain words."
