ig A a er GE --_ | v SYNOPHIS Michael Lorde, 40, unmarried, born and bred In a Birmipgham slum, is now a wealthy motor manufacturer. One day he visite the countryside around bis old home and rescues Daphne Eden from a menacing tramp, He falls In love and proposes. baphne accepts and introduces him to her father, who greets him with the words "Get out of here You c¢ur -- you ruined my home -- stole my wife -- curee youl" Daphne's father dies and she dlsap pears. Michael explains to her (riend, Mrs. Gregory, that he was misrepre- eented. He buys the old 'Tudor House owned by the Hamlill-Uardy's. Mrs. Gregory promises to nall a letter from him to Davhne arranging a meeting Daphne does nol appear. On the way home Michael collides with a car driven by Dinos Hamill-Hardy. Wait for what? That question leapt to her. Although not penniless, Daphne Eden had comparatively lit ile saved, and she was no longer a girl in her early twenties with chane- es from which to pick and choose, For ten years she had run the chicken farm for Mrs. Gregory, which, started originally as a hobby, pow had become a paying propsit- ion, and she was thoroughly interest- ed in the work, Without her things easily might go a little wrong, which would be a pity. Her face twitched aneasily. ' "After all, I pcedn't see him if 1 go back," she mused. Need che? Again brought that disturbed look to eyes, but Daphne's lips tightened. Ten years of hard work. . . yes, it had been hard work, of constant waiting on an embittered invalid. . . it had not been an easy time for her, and Mrs. Gregory's friendship had been a great solace. She went back through the years, her elbows press. ing on the woodwork of the window- peat. : At the giris' echool, a famous gchool at which he had remained as student-teacher after she had reach ed the sixth form, Daphne's ambition had been aroused by the English mistress, who had shown her ways and means of entering a life for which she craved. Daphne's bent had been English, she had sceretly hoped that one day she might be able to write, and her English Mistress, fan ning this half-hidden hope, brought it to a resolve. She stayed on at school, teaching, but the sudden ill- ness of her father, the mysterious disappearance of her step-mother, and the catastrophe which was the result of this necessitated a change in her plans. uneasiness her * * * "ROMANCE OF A MILLIONOIRE" Richard Eden was a paralytic wreck when Daphne left school to iake charge of him. He refused to discuss her step-mother, who, ac- cording to him, had run off with an- other man, and since Daphne in those days knew nothing of business, she accepted all his explanations with re- gard to the failure of everything. Even now she did not know if her step-mother wes alive. She had never|. liked her, had seen her only a few times since, by arrangement "with her school, Daphne spent her holi- days abroad with one of the staff, but dimly she remembered the woman bad been very beautiful in a rather flamboyant way.

"He picked my brain. . . . cure hia, , . , that man, . . . and he dares come here . . and then he stole my wife, . ."" It was not melodrama, Daphne shuddered as she remembered the death rattle in his throat. She could never forget that night. Now, as she went over and over again the words her father had used, she remembered Michael Borde and Multiple care. He was the inveator and manufacturer of these, it was out of Multi-Motors he had made his fortune, and he was a rich man, so much she knew. Oaly a millivraire could contemplate the purcnase of a house like Werburge Lucy. It was a dreadful thing to think that his riches had been filched from aer fathers bran. . . . i She laid her head down on the window sill to stop that dull thiob- bing. Night after night she could not sleep, sometimes it felt as though her eyes had been seared with a hot iron, especially when she could not cry. Sometimes it felt as though she were going mad when she remembered Michael Borde. Sometimes she hated him, but at other moments. . , no, there she thrust the thought away, she would not acknowledge it, even to herself, those moments when she re- membered his wooing. . . and the moment when she laid her hand in his. "I waited all my life for this," ran the thought in her brain. : How could it be? Cheap mounte- bank, so she assured herself now. he was, what she had thought gold in him was gilt. He had. lied and schem- ed and cheated to get where he was to-day. . . . Suddenly tears filled her eyes, whether tears of self pity, or for the sorrow for her father, she could not tell. "She's been crying again," remark- ed good Mrs. Meadows later. "It's my sure belief it's a love affair, she's had a quarrel with him, and every time she gets a letter she's upset." Then came a fortnight when Da- phne looked in vain for the postman. No other letters came. Once, when breaking off a spray of hawthorn as she walked up {rom the meadow where stitchwort gleam- ed on the banks beneath the may- trees, Daphne was startled by the sudden exclamation of Mrs. Mea- dows as she entered the kitchen. "Don't bring it indoors, Miss Da- phne," she cried, and her face went as white as the hawthorn. "Oh, take iv outside at once. You bring death in the house." Daphne had forgotten the super- stition which relates that sickness or death are brought into the house with blossoming may, she smiled, but obeyed, and stuck the branch in the ground near wallflowers and for- get-me-nots. Another week went by, and still no letter came from Lorna Gregory, although she had answered her last communication, indeed in this had hinted that she might pos- sibly return. There was her cottage, too, shut up, but with things to dispose of that n she had left in such a hurry.

Meadows, "You get bad luck by spells, Miss Daphne, and then comes a good turn and it seems as though God can't do enough for you. Don't I know it, too?" her face went sombre for a minute, and Daphne, who had heard the story be- fore of the loss of the Meadows' only son in the war, of the years of ill luck that followed on the farm, of de- pression and then the disaster that had overtaken them one lambing time when Farmer Meadows had broken his leg and evérything fell to her to manage, remembering all these stories, Daphne recalled the proverb, and, in a fashion, took comfort. "I've dragged about with feet like lead," said Mrs. Meadows, "and then there has been days when I could have danced right over the moon, my heart was that light. Listen to that throstle now, Miss Daphne, Doesn't it do your heart good to hear him?" Daphne stood beside the open window in the comfortable farmhouse kitchen, listened to the song of the thrush, and gazed out at the creamy blossoms of the guelder rose sway- ing lightly. A minute ago the thrush had been here, now he was on the topmost bough of the old pear tree, where tiny green fruit already was beginning to set although the ground was strewn with petals from the apple trees. } "A rare old tree for ripening early," said Mrs. Meadows, and, look- ing at the tree, Daphne wondered why tears pricked her eyes.

Logically, this is an absurd statement since we are not bi-vocal! We have only one larynx whether we use fit for song or speech and all that ap- plies to voice production for singing applies equally as muoh to speak- ing. Far too little attention Is given to voice development in speech, yet all individuality in gpeech is in the voice, that is to say, in the vowels, A good voice in speech increase the impres- sion of personality and capabllity, No stammerer can he cured by an. other person's efforts, It he will blind- ly follow the advice of an expert, success Is certain even though fit takés' time and a lot of hard work, Here are the golden rules for stam. merers: Speak slowly because slow Bpeech gives more 'time for vowels, Speak evenly because stammering {8 staccato or uneven speech, Speak firmly because ft is easier to control a firm tone than a light one, and it also conveys the impres- slon of decision, Speak with a continuous flow ot tone because stammering is the breaking and interrupting of vocal tone.

MORE ADVICE TO SWEET HEARTS I know that it is one of the most difficult things in the world to try and extend advice to young people who are in love, And if the advice is negative--that Is, opposed to their feelings at the moment--so much the worse, ' So that the' case I am going to quote in this article is particularly timely. Some six months ago, a young lady living in Ontario, sent*me a rather long specimen of the writing of the man she was very friendly with--a man, moreover, who had asked her to marry him. She was fond of him in many ways, and really seriously considering ac- cepting his proposal. But there were certain disquieting points in connect: ion with him that didn't quite please her, She couldn't, for instance, get very much information from him as to his past. He was somewhat vague, and -to all her natural enquiries as to his family, and so on, he was non: committal, All this gave her cause to pause, and she decided to ask my advice as to his suitability--and stated defin- itely that she would aot entirely on my advice. Her-friend, by the way, was a man about 36, and her own age was 23. This was a very serious situation, indeed, for my correspondent show- ed in her own handwriting that she had a very cultured mind and a gen- erous, rather idealistic nature. However, her friend's writing was very obvious. There were definite indications, not onlv of deceitfulness, but of outright dishonesty. He was a man who could be very charming, but there was a distinct sensual streak in him, I advised my correspondent to give him up. It was a hard thing to ask, but my honest opinion was that he was not only her type, but that her future with him would be very un- happy. I heard nothing more from my cor respondent for a while, but just re cently I received word from her and she told me that on receiving my let- ter, and recalling . her own doubts about her friend, she had given him up. . .. She had since discovered that the man had been married, and his wife was living in the United States. He had not been divorced. I need hardly state that she was grateful for the advice that had en- abled her to avoid an embarrassing situation, if not worse. The best thing to do with advice when it is given by an unbiassed per son---as, for example, a handwrtmg expert--is to take it in the spirit in which it is given, It 8 the simplest matter in the world to check any statements made with your own knowledge of your friend. And it gives. you definite points to watch out for. It is up to you whether you will attempt to effect a change in the habits or characteristics' of your friend, or wheher the traits revealed are such that you should sever the .association altogether. And in this connection, it is worthy of note that young people in love are more amenable to suggestions as to Your Liver's Making You Feel Out of Sorts Wake up your Liver Bile ~-No Calomel needed When you feel blue, depressed on. he world, that's Jour liver whio isn't pouring its uy two nounds of wels. llqula bile into your, Digestion and elimination are beln accumulating and owed u ia 'decayin Doli? rol and m eel wretoh 4 a; Waking .you .

Modern Life Deplored by Dr. Butler as Lacking in Excellence New York--Deploring the lack of excellence that is manifested in many phases of modern life, especially in manners and personal conduct aud literature, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler called upon the students and faculty of Columbia University to devote their efforts to a "search for excellence." Dr. Butler's address marked exercises, held in celebration Columbia's 181st year. "When the spiritual nature of man asserts itself," said Dr. Butler, "the ultimate object of his observation and reflection, of his searching, will al- ways and everywhere be excellence. It was a maxim of Publius Syrus that 'it takes a long time to bring excellence 'to maturity.' Excellence will not be achieved in a day or will it be fully understood and appreciat ed.on the instant. Time is necessary, as is that contemplation which alone leads to full understanding. "In literature," he said, 'what is the of first-rate must always contend with what is for the moment popular, Few things 'are more distressing than the lists published from time to time of. those books which for the time being enjoy chief popularity among reader. "In respect to manners and per sonal conduct, present-day habits ds manifested in every sort of public place and personal relationship 'are time and again quite shocking, One wonders why it is that youth can come to full adolescent years with no apparent appreciation of the dif- ference between good manners and their opposite." in | Canadian Women's Enclose 10c coin for each| Institutes Lauded nmr One of Canada's outstanding contr}. butions to the iuternatical meeting of the Pan-American Association in session at Honolulu, Is the women's institute idea, the basis of which is education of rural and urban women for increased efficiency in the 'home and' community and their co-operation with Governmental extension services, "We called it Canada's gift to the women of the world," sald Mrs, J.

It is noted Mr, Drinkwater has tightened up the play gomewhat since its production in Malvern, and "has sought to give 'a clearly detached view of the situ- ation." The critic continues: " 'Gospel me foot' for example, however reasonable an equivalent it may 'be for the language of a hot- headed young business man would 'use: when he found an apparent agitator upsetting the community will jar upon some people." Allowing for passages of arid talk, the theme is treated interestingly, the critic declares: "Mr.- Drinkwater lets the miracle of restoring the blind girl's sight pro- duce its own dramatic effect without stressing it by immoderate lan. guage," it is stated. "His restraint emphasizes the realism, too, of the last scene, wherein the father of the household--'a month ago a ral- ional contented household,' but now disrupted by the visitation--Jooks from his window and sees the Naz arene, crucified and buried three days before, following the deserters from his house up the hill to Bethany.
