"You should feel flattered, dear," said Miss Macinty-e. Judy shook her head. "His eyes are too critical; besides, the wretched creature always manages to look acrods when I am powdering my nose. You know, that building op- posite has blighted my life." Miss Macintyre was horrified. #Oh, you shouldn't say that, Don't forget it's a hospita.. Don't forget the good work they do." "Yes, I always do try to remember 'that, but I can't help regretting the pleasant greeil squares we used to look upon. You weren't here, so you don't remember what this place was like a year or two ago. It was a pleasure to work here then,"" "And now?" ventured Miss Masin: tyre, timidly: IVs a penance," said Judy solemn- Iy, "and that's final." 'Heavens, what's go you down this morning?" demanded Miss Macintyre n alarm. "The building opposite," said Judy tersely. But that, though .indirectly true, was not &o entirely. Judith would hardly admit it to herself, but it was the man opposite who had upset her. He stared so often and so hard that she had been bound to notice him, bus she was often forced to wonder whe- ther he had really noticed her. And because she was not sure she 'was angry with herself for being so interested in him, angry with herself for liking his fair, thoughtful young face, his serious, frowning brows, but she was angrier still with him because he never smiled. He seemed very remote and ab- stracted in his work across the way. i; boys in the mews ward smiled at , and were only too happy if she smiled back. The boys in the men's ward waved to her, and were delight- ed if she waved back: The old men sat by their windows in the sun and nodded to her. They were all pleased to see her--all except the serious young man. He just stared and frowned, almost as if he was not pleased with what he saw. Thus it was that on this bright morn- sugges ing Judy also frowned over her {ype- writer, | he bier frowning when a note rought: i brag un by one of her own "A young man left it for you in the hall, miss," said the departing messenger. Judith'Tooked down at the note with puzzled-eyes. When she had read the address she was more puzzled than ever, It was addressed to "Miss Busy Bee, care of Messrs. Harford & Har- ford, Third Window, Fourth: Floor, Facing West Central Hospital." It was a joint invitation from sone © of the boys in the men's ward, asking her to tea the following Saturday. There was to be a concert, and if she «could join in, so much the better. They. had watched her so often, and she had themso often, that they all knew her. She lookéd so smiled at happy that they wanted t know her the {1ir young mar Ww eyes. 7 2 3 A "I don't think he approves of me," she told the rosy-facvl boy with broken leg. "He always stands glowers at me whea I'm playing --| a is, if he deigna to notice me at al" "Oh, he approves of you all right. He wouldn't come round at all while you're here if he didn't. He's always very busy. But then he takes his job very seriously, you know. He's very young to be house-surgeon. He was a student less than two years ago, you know, playing Rugger in the hospital. A team. He told me that when he heard how I broke my leg." The next week was Hospital Week for the West Central Hospital, and excitement ran high. Students parad- od the streets in white coats or fancy dress; smiling lected at cor- al | at more watoh. "Why, ve're due down there " three o'clock, aren't we?" And than half of the students fled, leaving Judy and about four others to clear up. - "Ever seen the operating theatre from this point of vantage?" asked the student who had spoken first. "No," said Judy, "nor from uny other point." ! "Well, it's just right here at hand, if you went tolook. It's that next bit of low roof that backs on to here. It's lower than the rest so that they get daylight through the roof, Gosh, girl, you should see the lamps they have in there!" "I wish. I could see.them," said Judy. "Follow me, child" beckoned the ners. On the Tuesday there was a door to door collection, and the stu- dents raided the offices of Messrs. 'Harford & Harford. : Judith watched eagerly from her window, trying to .recognize some of the fantastically dressed figures. After long minutes she began to think that her own room on the fourth floor had been forgotten; then the Joor opened and someone came in. He came straight across to her seat by the win dow as if she were the only person) he wished to see. He smiled. Standing before her, shaking his collecting-box, he seemed younger and gayer than she had ever seen him, . "You're not supposed to do this sort of thing, surely," she said, when she recovered from her surprise, she fumbled in her bag for half-a-crown, which really was the most she could afford, and as she fumbled she read the legend: "Peter Maddox, House Surgeon's Collecting Box." "T came across more to see you than to collect," he was saying. Her heart leapt, and she raised starry eyes to nm. of wanted to see you about our \luncheon-hour concert on Thursday. Her heart sank again. "It's going: to be just an impromptu affair on the first-floor roof garden. I ted that it was no use having a modern building if we didn't make the most of it, so we are going to have a short - concert there at lunch-time, when everyone will be out and about. They'll get an awfully good view from the street, and we'll have people down in the streets collecting. Don't you think it's & good idea?" "Splendid!" said Judy. "Of course, I'll do everything I can to help. 1 ex- pect I can get some extra time off for something as important as this, Will you be there?" she added, as if as an afterthought, "Of course, if I possibly cam: I shall want to sce the concert. And.to sce you," he added, But on Thursday, even when the concert waged wildest and most hi- larious, Peter Maddox was nowhere to be seen. . "Why doesn't he come?" Judy kept asking herself, "Why didn't he come?" she finally asked one of the students. tudent, "and you shall see all." "But we can't go in," she objected, "It isn't a proper visiting hour." ~ "Oh," said the young man, "it's much: more exciting out of visiting hours. Besides, we are only going to i one short peep through the win- " Judy followed the young man meak- ly along a ledge. to a small side win- dow, where there was another accom- modécing little ledge to hang on to. One short peep. it was for Judy. Eerything in the operating theatre was in readiness, and amid that glar- ing whiteness and careful cleanliness there was the man Judy loved. Mask- od and rubber-booted, he seemed 'nore remote than ever. Perhaps it was a sudden feeling of hopelessness and helplessness which overcame Judy, or perhaps it was the sickening reek of ether which clung stickily about the air, Her grip on the ledge slackened. She felt faint. She fell. When she recovered consciousness, her broken arm had been set, and her whole body ached with bruises. She was a little light-headed from the chloroform thay had given her, and it Was Some my ta before she realizad whose was the face that bent above her. Still light-headed, she raised an in- quiring finger and touched the corner of the house-surgeon's mouth. "What a serious young man!" she said. "Something to look serious about, this!" he muttered, but smiled back at 'her, nevertheless. "You don't seem nearly so remote when you. smile," she said, "You should do it more often." "Remote--I--remote?" He threw back his héad and laughed, "Why, it was you who. seemed so remote. You 'smiled 'at everyone except me." "You used to. glive at me when I powdered 'my nose." "Why; L loved to see you powder your: little nose! . You all séemed 80 carefree over there, Everything seems ed so serious here. I'd work much better after I'd watched you for a min- ute. And why do you think I came across collecting. It was just that I just across the: way, always just out of 'zeach." d "I believe he' + "And now I've come across to you," "and you'll have to smile at I patient." Members of the Juno Art School at Finchley, couldn't 'bear this sense of your being "Pll do more than smile," he said, as he bent over her again. "Accidents have their compensa- tions," murmured Judy happily, after he had kissed her.--"Answers" (Lon- don). : Qe mmm New Hardy Rose i Produced in Dominion Montreal--A new rose has beon produced at the Experimental Farm, sufficiently hardy to withstand the climate as far north as Ottawa with- out protection. It is a cross between an unnamed double white variety of the Rugosa type and R. spanasisina hispida. In the repert of the Domin- ion Horticulturist for 1930, which is issued by the Department of Agri- culture at Ottawa, the rose is describ: ed as having a handsome bush with distinct foliage, the leaves goldich green with seven leaflets, The flowars are large single, pale pink on opening, fading to white. The plant blooms until the middle of June. ae em re In the Air A well-known bishop was giving a religious address from the London broadcasting studio. His peroration concluded: ".. .

As we have upon the faith and the couvage of these early followers of Christ, and realize something of 'he price they paid in new outlooks and eroic endeavors, risking and sacrific- ing all that they had, we feel that we have entered into a rich heri in- deed. We are constrain: to ask our- selves whether we have been as faith: ful witnesses. The past Quarter's lessons have shown us Christianity moving out into new areas, the extension of the mis- sionary activity of the church to in- clude Europe. Help the class to see the enlargement of view as well as of area that has taken place. This part of the review you might gather Sp under the heading, "Jewish vs. Uni- versal Christianity." Recall with the group the Judaizing tendency of a cer- tain group. They -egarded Christian- ity at first as exclusively for Jews and within the Jewish church. When did this idea get its first challenge? Recall Peter at Joppa. But who was the real champion of the larger view? It was Paul who "tore the gospel from iis Jewish soil and rooted it in the soil of humanity." Call to mind his experi- ence on his first and second missionary journeys and his call into Europe. Re- view the circumstances of his preach- ing in Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, and Corinth. Note especially that Paul was demonstrating all the while that Gentiles could enter into the faith and life in Christ equally with Jews and it was mot necessary for them to accept the unfamiliar ceremonial of Judaism in order to be good Chris: tians. But it was very hard for the Jews to see this, as is evidenced by the bitterness with which they oppos- ed Paul and the Gentile mission. The matter of consequence is that the Christian gospel demonstrated itself as a universal gospel rather than fo) a merely Jewish sect. Notice what were the implications o2 this. Racial equality was recogniz- ed or prepared for, and the way open- ed for racial understanding. In Christ there was to be no East or West. Paul was the world's greatest pioneer under Christ into this field. Have the class attempt to estimate what we owe to Paul in this. Another topic for discussion might be "Three Jerusalem Councils." Have some one tell of the first, where Paul and Barnabas came to report on the Gentile response to the Gospel and to get the council's approval and assur- ance of a tolerant attitude toward Gentile Christians, Some one else may tell of Paul's last visit to Jerusalem and the attitude of tty council and of the Jewish community. Then have another tell of the Jerusalem Confer- ence in 1928, when representatives from all the continents took counsel together on the basis of racial equal- ity and human brothezhood. How far was Paul's thought of the universal- ity of the gospel vindicated by this last conference? How much of the old rucial antipathy and sectarian nar- rowness has still to be overcome? Onother interesting topic for dis- cussion here would be Philemon's Re- ply to Paul's Letter, taking for grant- ed that Philemon was as good a Chris- tian as Paul believed him to be.

Smyser, F.R.G.8,, in Contem- porary Review (London): Manchuria i sas large as Egyp , with agricultural possibilities as vast, although temper- ed, of course, by its climate. To find a parallel for Manchurian rigors and Manchurian promise; Manchuria must be moved round the map between the latitudes until it comes to rest with its southern extremity touching the Mississippi just above Saint Louis and its northern reaching the Hudsom Bay. It would here biot out not only the largest of the Great Lakes, bus also Iliinois, Wisccrsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and most of Ontario and Manitoba. Two hundred thousands square miles of Manchurian country is neither mountain nor desert, bub rich rolling land like the wheat dis- tricts o* Canada. Northern Manchuria is farm land and forest, Southers Manchuria is a land of millet, maize, kaoliang and legumes, inters; with small milles and busy growing mines. BR - 'Quebec Settlers Preferred Fat, Plump Women Montreal--Fat, plump wives were most desired by early French settlers in Canada, as "hey were better suited to resist the cold winters and also ensuring they would not be "gadding around" among their neighbors foe the greater the weight the less the mobility. These and other interesting facts {rom the unwritten pages of Canadian history were told by Rene B. Per- rault in a recent address here. Champlain, regarded as one of the great French explorers, actually did more harm than ogod for the French cause in America, Mr. Perrault stated.
