All sorts of documents and papers were here, some tied up in bundles and labelled with dates. "Self and Michael Borde," Daphne read, ~ She unfastened the tape, spread out the papers, slowly and deliberately read each letter in turn, They were curt, short, typical of Michael. Even in those days he remembered that "Time is Money," and wasted noth- ing in letter-writing, These prelimin- aries to a partnership were methodi- eally filed and numbered, then came the copy of an Agreement, there were a number of financial statements which' she did not understand, and at the bottom a small black diary, filled with entries in her father's handwriting. Feeling as though she had trod on his grave, Daphne read these throuhh slowly and deliber- ately. The early part of the diary merely recorded Borde's entry into his life, and Richard Eden's work at that Midland garage, where it was evident he was bored and unhappy. He had no scope. That was what it amouited to, and the work was thor oughly uncongenial, Michael Borde he regarded as a skinflint, a nigger driver, but at the same time as a man who undoubtedly would get on. "I must grin and bear it," ran one entry, "But I refuse to taken on driving, even if we are short-staff- ed. Borde doesn't seem to - mind what he does, and will get into a chauffewr's uniform and do anything, 50 long as it is making money." Daphne winced, That bore out what Michael had told her himself. Confessing his early ambitions, how the lack of money had dinned itself into his brain, how he recognized that pennilessness was a curse, and how, when given his chance, he took it, but cared for nothing so long as it increased his bank balance, she realized how this hard nature of his FAGGED OUT?

Then came veferences to night dri- ving, the phrase repeated again -and again, but it was not until later Da. phne glimpsed its significance, "I wish to God I had never mar- ried again," ran the words. . "She is a thorn in the flesh, an everlasting distress to me, and now I realize she is running after Borde, or he after her. Sometimes | hate her, loathe her, and yet I can't do without her......" Shuddering, she laid down the book. "Poor father," she whispered, "I begin to understand. That 'woman must have caught him somehow or other. She used to be quite beauti- ful, too, in her way, Ile must have suffered terrvibly-----" Saon after this the "diary closed abruptly, go the tragedy must have happened a little afterwards, There were references to some invention, which he belleved was going to make his fortune, but which as he bitterly wrote down, he would see thut Mlch- acl Borde did not share, "I was a fool at first, and told him most things, Now 1 work in secret, and I am negotiating with a firm in Stockholm, If they take it up, my lighting device will be fitted on every car, not only here, hut all over the world.

Suddenly she found ber eyes pricked with tears, and hurriedly fas. tened up the bundle of papers again, resolved to finish looking over these at some other time. There was a photograph of Lily Eden, beautiful in a rather flamboy- ant way, Bare neck and shoulders were draped lightly with a-wisp of tulle, her pose was coquettishly re- miniscent of Carmen, and Daphne dropped the picture as though it had stung her. There were her letters, father Money too, but Daphne would not burn them | with the others; some time must be made for thom. "Queer how 1 feel about it," ran her thoughts, "I hate her for mess- ing up father's life, but I wonder if I should hate her quite so much if it hadn't been for Michael Borde." She got up, locked the box, glan- ced at the grey ashes in the grate, then resolved to 'make her 'Why up the field to the chicken-pens, It was there she had first met Michael Borde, and the best thing to do with such memories was to take them heartily hy the throat aand them. A soft west wind met her, clouds above went hurrying past, the scent of gorse came down from the banks, and she looked down at the empty white road winding past the beech woods, ON A NIGHT IN JUNE Down in the hollow willows sway- ed their grey-green branches, a sud- den gust of the west wind blew their -| leaves sideways, and they quivered into points of silver. The cuckoo called again, answered by another in the Vale, swallows swooped low, above in the blue swifts chased each 1 other, screaming, and as she reached the summit, Daphne turned slowly and survey the lovely old house, nestling in the hollow. "Lovely," she said slowly, "lovely. I wish it were mine." Her face hardened. For the first time she understood what Lily Eden had done. Smoke rose from its twisted chim- neys, she could see the lawns like emerald. oblongs set around with a blaze of color, and remembered that the early season of the herbaceous borders when lupins and delphinlums bloomed made a sight worth seeing, DON'T RISK BAKING FAILURES.... | 45%% ] \ MAGIC BAKING POWDER safeguards your cakes from failure.

Wall Street, choke: New York's ~ Richest Church In 1697, when somé of his Angli- can subjects were worshipping in a for near the Battery King Willjam Ill. of England gave young Trinity Parish the land on which Trinity Church now stands' at the head of There was no street then, but a wall, later razed to give the little city on Manhattan Island room to grow, Later, the royal heart wag struck with the thought that the struggling church could well do with some funds, and he gave the parish the right to sell all whales, wrecks and flotsam and jetsam flung up on Long Island, ™ What revenue, if any. Trinity de- rived from that privilege has not been discovered. At any rate, the parish did not prosper fast enough for Queen Anne, and in 1705, the bestowed on it a tract of land, which became known as the Queen's Farm. It yielded a revenue of £40 a year. As the thriving city began . to spread out on its narrow terrain, the Queen's Farm became covered with rent-paying buildings. Sub. , ways underran it in later years, and rents went up. Though large slices of the farm were taken to provide for other Episcopal churches, King's College, now Columbia Uni: versity, and other buildings, the little church at the head of Wall Street had 700 lots remaining, and prospered until it became the wealthiest church in New York, and, probably, in the country. Recently the parish sold the east side of Hudson Street from West Houston to Clarkson Street. part of the tract it received 237 years ago from King William. The transfer marked the first change in owner- ship of this particular property since the royal grant. Four and five-storey buildings cover the block involved in the otransaction, and, according to William S. Sussman, Inc, the broker in the deal, the buildings and the land on which they stand are assessed at $458,000. -- Literary Digest.

GEOFFREY ST. CLAIR : (Graphologist) All Rights Reserved EDITOR'S NOTE: Tremendous In- terest is being maintained in these article. on Character Reading from Handwriting, and more and more readers are taking advantage of the author's invitation to send them a personal charcter reading of their handwritiing. If you have not done so, you would find it hlepful to you, too, to find out the truth of your own. personality revealed from the way you write. Many of the letters that I receive from readers of these articles con- tain requests for more Information as to the reasons for Graphology being 'so accurate, and many wish to know more about the underlying principles that make this so accurate and helpful 'a science, In this week's article, I. would like to go back to the beginnings of Graphology--when those who were beginning to wonder whether hand- writing really did show something of the writer's character, were hitting in the dark, ag it were. It will show you that for hundreds of years, re- search has been proceeding into the mysteries that lie beneath the ap- parently simple symbols that mark mankind's efforts to converse on paper, ° The first known book on charact- er from Handwriting was published in 1622--three hundred years ago--bya man named Camille Baldo. In the year 1792, the German historian, I C. Grohmann, wrote on the same theme, and this was followed In 1823 by an Englishman, Stephen Collet, It will surprise many readers to learn that the well-known writer, Edgar Allen Poe, was an industrious seeker after the truth about charact- er delineation from handwriting. And we find that Sir Walter Scott, whose novels, whilst not so popular today ag Bor, years ago, are still ranked ag classics, wrote the following in 1829; in "his book, "The Chronicles of the Canongate": "My first impres- sion was to thrust the manuscript in the fire , , , A little reflection made me ashamed of this feeling of .im- patience, and as I looked at the even, concise, yet tremulous hand in which the manuscript was written, I could not help thinking according to opin- fon I have heard seriously maintain.

La) Issue No. 6--'35 i f ed, that something of a man's charact- er may be conjectured from his hand- writing. That neat, but crowded and constrained, small hand argued a man of a good.conscience, well-regu- lated passions, and, to use his own phrase, an upright walk in life, but it also indicated narrowness of spir- it, inveterate prejudice, and hinted at some degree of intolerance . . . . . . Then the flourished capital let- ters, which ornamented the com- mencement of each paragraph, and the name of his family ~and of his ancestors, whenever these occurred in the pages, do .they not express forcibly the pride and sense of im-|' portance with whicht the author undertook and accomplished the task?" _ These words of Sir. Walter Scott are significant of the awakening in- terest in the possibilities of recog- nising the truth about a person's na- ture from his manner of writing, many years ago. 1 would like to put it in another way to my readers, Do you not re- cognise the handwriting of your friends? Even if you are accustom- ed to have correspondence from @ score of acquaintances and friends, as a rule you can identify each one by the writing, Some of the hand- writings will look somewhat alike, but you rarely make a mistake in properly identifying the writer. This shows that each writing has its in- dividual chacteristics, From a real: isation of this fact, which is self- evident, it is not a long step to an assumption that, if different writings show the individual characteristics, then it is possible to -accurately fdentify those characteristics, And that is exactly what Graphol- ogy does. s Would you like to have a personal character study from your. own. hand- writing? And have you any friends whose real natures you would like to know? Send specimen - of the writings: you want analysed, stating birthdate in, each case. Send 10c coin for each specimen, and enclose with 3c stamped addressed envelope, If In addition you would like to have a copy of Mr. St. Clair's new chart --the Graphochart--which contains over 100 illustrations, and shows you how to analyse handwriting for your- 'self, send an*additional 12¢ for your copy. You will find it very interest: ing and fascinating.

DOES NOT HARM * THE HEART pes RR p-- -------- Television N In Great Britain Postmaster General Hopes "To See It In Use During Coming Year London. -- Television for the British public in 1936 was forecast by Sir Kingsley Wood, the Post. master General, in a speech on pos- tal matters here recently, The com- mitte under Lord Selsdon appointed to investigate the whole matter has be laid before Parliament shortly. British manufacturers of radio apparatus are all ready to go ahead as soon as it is known that regular television broadcasts will take place. Experiments have been in progress for over a year past on wavelengths of the' order of 7 meters and there abouts. these is about 30 miles, so that other transmitters than those in use for the ordinary sound broadcast. ing will have to be used. These will probably be established near big towns in addition to those at existing regional stations. Pro- grams, to start with at any rate, will consist to a considerable extent of talkie films, as these lend them- selves so well for television.® There is 'also a prospect that the telephone lines may be utilized to overcome the difficulty -of distance with the ultra-short waves. The broadcasting of television on the medium waves has suffered from lack 'of detail. This is due to con- gestion of stations which - allows so little spread on each side of the wavelength used. This difficulty dis- appears when the ultra-short waves are used where as many stations can find room in a few meters as can The day when cricket and foot- ball matches and other big outdoor events and scenes can be adequately televised is probably still distant, The class of program hitherto pro- vided by the British Broadcasting Corporation has been of interest to the television enthusiast, but cannot be said to have had real enterta n- ment value. But television for all really look quite near now, and ong may soon be able to see the person one is talking to on the telephone, and look at and listen to talk'e films in the comfort of cne's home. Cavalcade' Munich Manchester Guardian. The rapid journey of the Duke and Duchess of Kent to Munich recent ly provides an opportunity for the measurement of - time's changes. When Lady Dorothy Nevill was a girl at a period when there was an ear- lier Duchess of Kent living, Lord Oxford set out with his family on 1a visit to the Bavarian capital. They made the continental journey from -Antwerp in a large family party, 8ix of the family, two maids, a footman and a French cook:' Nor must I forget a wonderful courier, whose principal qualities were external ones--that is to say, his costume was covered with gold and braid whilst his intelligence was nil. However, one thing he did well, which was to precede our cavalcade and announce the imminent arrival 'of a great English milord and his suite, We had two fourgons (luge gage vans) to hold the "batterie de cuisine" and our six beds which had to be unpacked and made up every night, for in those days there were hardly any real hotels in the coun- try through which we travelled -- merely houses used as such by the few travellers chancing to come that way. We had, besides the family coach, a barouche, while there were six saddle horses, with two .attend- ant grooms, Lady Dorothy and her sister were aged only nine and eleven, so that riding with their father was a "real: trial of strength," The cavalcade was delayed sometimes by disputes resulting from Lord Oxford's habit of taking his bearing' from an in- accurate map and leading the party across private property. og This way ot travelllng was ex- pensive, because the chance of "fleecing an English milord--one of those wealthy Englanders, who, it was Known, lived absolutely regard- less of expense--dld not too often oceur," and when it did, an oppor- tunity of such a kind was not to be lost--and in our case certainly was not." Dancing Declared A "Rhythmic Hug" Philadelphia,--Ruth St, Denis, plo. eer of the modern dance, says pre- sent-day ballroom dancing is nothing more than a "rhythmic hugging." Said she at a lecture-recital, "ball room dancing is hopelessly unintel- ligent, People don't know. how to tango and they don't know how to waltz, What they are pleased to call dancing is just rhythmle hugging."
