"ANOTHER CAS "What's the matter, Rillie?" 1 ex- slaimed. "You look as though you had been ill a month!" "Oh, do I look as bad as that?" she asked, her voice trembling. "I really + | wanted to look my best today. Ypu see, it's the first time I've beén out of the house since that awful story came out in the papers about Lyman and me, "I wasn't intoxicated, Judy. Hon- est, I wasn't. And I didn't know for certain that Lyman was drunk until he ran into that tree while trying to kiss me." "Well, Rillie,~why did Lyme An- drews not take the blame for it all? Why didn't he say that only he had been drinking." "I don't know. I haven't seen him since the story came out. But the gos- sip is getting so scandalous that I don't think Dad can stand it much longer. He said he was going over to have a talk with Lyman today and I came out to find him before Dad couldd get to him. If my father had only let me call Lyman up the next day, I think I could have made it all up with him. Now, oh Judy, I'm afraid Lyman will never speak to me again.? "Do 'you want him to, Rillie?" 1 asked in surprise. I could not under- stand how any girl could want to haye anything more to do with any man who had shown such a yellow streak as Lyman had. "Of course I do, Judy. Don't you see, I've got to make up with him? Don't you know that although I did nothing more than you or any other of the girls have done, yet I got into a mess by the accident and now the story has grown so big that I'm ruined if I don't marry Lyman? And, oh Judy, he hasn't asked me! You know I'm awfully fond of him and I couldn't live in this town if 1 thought he was mak- ing love to any other girll" She stopped suddenly. A man's voice had called, "Rilt{ Oh, Rilll" I looked behind me to see that it was Lyman Andrews. "There!" I said. "There's your man and you won't be the clever girl I think you if you don't make him come to terms immediately if you want to. haven't much time to lose, Rillie, for I am getting ready to go to Chicago." "Are you?" she asked in a tone of voice by which I knew she would ra- ther go to Chicago than marry 'the man that was slowly coming toward her. I only stopped long enough to hear him say: "Your Dad seems to think we ought to get married, Rill." "And don't you want to, Lyman?" she asked. ¥ was out of hearing.

That much talked of book, "The Land of Afternoon," by Gilbert Knox, was clearly written to be the "best seller" of its year and in East- ern Canada, at any rate, it has been in great demand, The author says his novel is a sa- tire on social and political life In Canada's capital, and adds that the characters arg purely imaginary. The first statement is undoubtedly true but the second is open to ques- tion To people living in Ottawa, most of the Shurdetin are unmis- takeable and yet iased people de- clare that all of them are distorted. Most of us have peculiarities that at times amuse our friends but they forgive us for them because of other characteristics in us that they ad- mire. But the unfortunates, pil- loried for their fellow's amusement in this. book, have their redeeming qualities rent from them ruthlessly and replaced by most unlovely traits. The writer has a mischievous desire to stab in the dark, and even the hero, Raymond Dilling, who is said fm the foreword to be a "Superman" is shown committing the unpardon- able solocism of manicuring his fin- gers while he converses with a lady. ® . - But the dialogue is undeniably brilliant and there is no doubt what- ever that the writer has had many opportunities for observing Ottawa's social and official life. The struggle | tor power and place among the wo- men ° whose husbands had under taken the business of governing their country is drawn with an un- erring pen and the politicians fare no better. The cattishness of those who are striving to shoulder their way across what Azalea Deane de- scribes as '""the shining rim" as she demonstrates with her gold bracelet and some pen nibs the eager and often desperate fight to get within the magic circle where once in, you can do any thing you like so -long as you pretend that all the others in the ring are desirable and those outside the reverse. The new titles, the women who holds a precarious footing on the social ladder, who re- ceive kicks from those who have a firmer foothold, are held up to ridi- cule as they richly deserve, and the vul ty of those who, accepting the Hospitality of sweet Dilling from Pinto Plains, who has come to Ottawa with her husband, the brilliant young western member, 'laugh at her attempts at beautifying her house while'they eat her ices, is causticly scored. The press does not escape satire for in a description of a function given in ths social eol> umns of a paper the terms, 'Mrs, (Rev.) and Mrs. (Dr.)," are used and anyone who reads the woman's pages of the Ottawa dailies knows the capable women journalists who edit them would never allow such incorrect English to escape .their editing pencil, The church too comes in for a slam in a chapter devoted to a fashionable wedding, : But are all Nie aon at Ottawa? Are they all within the parliamen- tary and Government House eircles? Are not gome of the most snobbish people those who are far away from the shining ring? And does this book, clever as it is; give us a good idea of Canadian society? Our Canadian social life 1s a complex thing for it is composed of men and women of widely different anteced- ents. Our forefathers were, many high adventurers who have made Some of names may be found this good land. What care their de- a lately acquired title?

Are they interested in a struggle for a lower place than their ancestors held? And the sons snd daughters of professional men, of men who, laboring with brains and hands founded great mercantile houses, who with the fruits of their fathers' labors have seen the best of Europ- ean society and art, Are they tremb- ling lest some upstart of to-day will forbid them to enter the magic cir- cle? Are these Canadians wonder ing if so-and-so is "the thing"? They never give it a thought.
