Its booming note spread tumult through the mid- night stillness and startled a flock of gea gulls into flight. Two snub-nosed tugs prodded the ship's sides and cas- ed her slowly into midstream, where ghe paused for a throbbin< gecond, a dark monster riddled with rings of gold. "Along her decks, passengers leaned at the rails. The band played and the music drifted faintly back to those who stood at the end of the pier, wav- ing good-bye to their friends who were starting out on cruise around the world. Keith Macduff turned away trom the rail and climbed to the boat deck, where he could breathe the iced night air without distraction, The Wool: worth Tower, old and friendly, went shimmering past, as the Marenia had cleared the tip of Manhattan Island. Macduff breathed deeply and his There was no one in New York that he- advantages of going through life with- out ties. He had boasted to Hamish Ingles_that he would sail around the world and never speak to a soul. Hamish had laughed him to scorn, telling him that there was nothing any more difficult to down than the over- tures to one's fellow travellers on a cruise. As a solace, he had made him a list of the best cocktails of every port. Looking Back A light breeze was ruffling the wa- ter's surface and Macduff looked back at the sparkling towers that were now no more than a trail of phosphores- cence. New York was the place for work, he reflected, thinking of »" the | pleasant things that a man could do when he lived by himself. He would miss his peaceful exist: ence in New York, and his pleasant evenings with detective stories, under the battered lamp that Susannah had wanted removed in favour of some: thing she called a bridge stand. His thoughts ran back over his years in New York. Each one was locked in a dark chamber in his mind, and it was only at rare intervals; when something unusual was happening to him, that he switched on tha lights, then things sprang to life like pictures on a pie- ture screen. Macduff looked back towards New York. It was only a phantom of light on the water's edge now, but he knew glass aspired to the drifting clouds. For a brief flash he could see through it all, as if the walls had collapsed be- fore his eyes -- bright rooms inhabit- ' ed by people chatering about nothing, men and women quarelling, making love, reading and dancing; bands playins; radios spreading din; child- ren making a noise. Such a race for was to spend an evenin,' alone, or to seek quiet with a book. Must have company, must make whoopee. Bah! He turned away. He saw a fur coat against the rail. Clare Langford, lost in though had watched his receding back for a mo- ment, then turned her attention to the sea. Dick Charlton, the chief officer, came stalking along the deck and then leaned against the railing, several vards asvay. His cap was tilted over a profile as sharp as the blade of a knife. Glad to be Leaving "Are we near Quarantine?" she ask-' ed, aware of his presence. ' "Just about there." He moved re- spsonsively in her direction. «+@lare turn- I her face towards him, It wag pale and oval in the half-light, marked only by the full curve of her lips. : "I'm so glad to be leaving New York -- her admission was as swift as the blaze of her eyes. Then she remem- bered herself and was quenched. She turned to the rail again and forgot that there was anyone else on the top deck. Dick moved quietly on his way. A shiver ran through her frame.

It was an excellent thing to be getting away from Hugh. Four months were too many to have devoted to him, She looked back at the trail of light that marked New York and could see him returning 'alone to his apartment. How had she ever come to throw in her lot with his? It was so unlikely -- a dnsty scientist who had turned to writing and worldly living, after a life- time in his laboratory. Her friends that his mind was gay and enterprising; they had discovered that from his books. "Poor Hugh!" she thought, as she leaned over the rail. "le looked so mournful ag the boat moved out. What will he dé with himself now?" But he was less at a loss than she imagined. Soon after meeting Clare, one of his oldest friends had warned him that she was the wrong woman for him, and that he must not neglect his work for her. Clare was suddenly weary. Yes, she was glad to be getting away. There was no excitement for her in. the eth- "I.think. I shall t-rn in," she thought, looking around to see-if- anyone were in sight. "I wonder if 1 couldn't have my deck chair up here. It would be quiet and more romantic under the st: os." The passengers were disappearing for the night, until only a sprinkling remained on deck. The Marcnia was heading for. the sea, and her four jew: elled strings of light were showing blanks above the water porthole after another went dark. In avminimum rate cabin on D deck Miss Alice Mudge bent with fluttering fingers over a straw suitcase lying open on her narrow bed. Her black eyes gleamed fron a 'nest of anxious folds, for she "was near-sighted and had decided to avoid her glasses as miuch as possible. Somewhere she had read that glagses were a hindrance to romance, and nothing must interfere with the full enjoyment of her trip around the world. : In a spasm of anxiety her hand mov- ed to her waist. She took off her Lelt, undid her skirt, and fumbled for the small chamois bag that Hortense, the seamstress J Ohonto, Wisconsin, had made for her, along with her travel wardrobe. At last she had dug her way through tapes and buttons and had reached the chamois bag. Twittering, she turn. ed it upside down on the bed, having first made sure that the cabin door was locked. Before her lay five hun- dred dollars in cracking bills, which Mr. Brown, the banker, had given her with a flourish, remarking that it was not every day that Ohonto had a citi- zen leaving for a trip around the world. Her ticket which had cost two thou- sand was safe in her handbag, ready to be turned over to the purser tomor- row. It had taken her twenty years of - saving and "crimping to accumulate twenty-five hundred.dollays, though it now seemed like a day. By being very careful, Miss Mudge would see the world suppteeusly on her surplus of $500. The boat was beginning to heave and Miss Mudge wondcred if she should take her Seaoxyl now, or wait until she felt ill. No, the directions said it sho'ild be taken before feeling ill. Had she been wice to have her hair bobbed before sailing or was' it frivolous and out of keeping with her y.ars and occupation? It was too late to worry about it now. Besides, she rather liked it, and, whatever happen- ed she was going to be uttely frivol- ous for 'the next five months.- No one could stop her. Her cabin was comfortable enough although her bunk seemed perched at a great height. She lay on her back and at last she turned out her lights and murmured a little prayer. She was so thankful to Providence for let- ting her go round the world at last. With the words slipping over her lips she fell asleep, lulled by the pounding of the engines, CHAPTER II The Marenia hegan to creak and roll in answer to the sca. Sandy Hook was -teft behind 'and the pilot had been ta- ken off. Captain Mark Baring, stand- ing on the bridge and straining his eyes into the darkness that lay ahead, was the least cheerful person on board. He saw five hard months ahead of him, care and responsibility, with strange harbours and the monotony that drove crew and passengers to er- ratic behaviour. A panorama of faces swept before him -- middle-aged women starved for romance, travellers who had been ev- erywhere and who made him a target for their fll-assorted knowledge, wo: men who talked too much, women who laughed too much, and , above all, wo- men who drank too much, He lived in a world of his own and line, as one esc aed whenvhe could from the ship's festivities, but the cocktail parties, the teas and dinners were a necessary part of ship roytine that he could not avoid. Only his intimates knew that he had played a muted violin in his own quar- ters, and that there were times when he wrote verse. None of the crew sus- pected that the quiet, hard man who skippered the ship was an artist at heart, They thought he was made of ice -- hard to chip, slow to melt, but a capital seaman, The Marenia creaked a slow refrain from bow stern. His heart rose sud- denly to the tune of the sea. [ere, at 1 ast, was something that fitted his mood -- master of his boat, sailing the seven seas. New Friendships TheMarenia was three days out and her passengers were settling down to the routine of life at sea. The unwary were rushing heedless into friendships which they were soon to regret. Clare had scarcely left the top deck since sailing. She sunned herself till her skin had the warmth of a pome- granate. The flame of the dying day flickered in her half-veiled eyes as Dick studied her attentively. "It's an odd thing about sunsets," he was saying, "one can never remem- ber them. They're marvellous for fif- teen minutes, and you think that all your life you will hold their beauty, but try to summon up the picture the next day! It's gone," "He.--as staring at the sky, and she thought with impatience, that he was - lest to her -- a missionary like Hugh, tho most tiresome kind of man They were always floating off in their men- tal airships when one most wanted their companionship. "How often have you been avound the world?" she pursued. Dick looked at her suddenly and his thoughts receded like fading pictures, in the presence of this dazzling crea- ture with skin like honey. "This is my seventh cruise with the Marenia, and before that 1 knccked about the world a bit on other boats." She measured him with her eyes. "What a wise young man you must le -- knowing all about love!" "What rot! 1 scarcely believe in love." Clare laughed. More About Women Dick looked down at her. "Women are constantly building up the fiction of enduring love," he sald, "but it real ly. doesn't endure, unless cae's life is so deadly cull that there is no chance for romance, Usually women destroy their own images by holding on for too long. They should always be first in knowing when things are over. However, it's an instinct in which they- are totally lacking. "You haven't told me half enough," she observed. "Tell me some more all about women. Tell me what you hink of American women." Dick threw back his head and then lauhed. "I wonder if you were wise to ask me that," he said. "Shall you be offended if I ¢~11 you that I think they are a little overbearing -- too intent on their looks, their clothes, their car- eers, their ambitions? And I haven't words to describe the way they treat their men, nibbling at 'their self-re- spect, leading them by the noses, mak- ing them wait for hours for the mer- est-whim." ~~ "You're rather extreme, aren't you," said Clare lazily, amused by Dick's ti- rade, "and you're not very polite. Take my word for it," she added defensive- ly, "American women are beloved by the gods. Show me any women on this earth who are more clevey and chic, more free and independent, or having go good a time." "That's it," said Dick, equably. "For they are self-sufficient, self-contained and frozen over with ambition." He was watching her with a glimmer of amusement, Clare's mood flashed to annoyance. (To be continued) Summer Holiday Period Extended Children Will Have Until Septem- : ber 6 This Year *TORONTO.--Dr. Duncah McArthur, Ontario deputy minister of education, gave school children cheering news last week when he announced they would have nearly an extra week of summer holidays this year, Dr. McArthur said children would return to school on September 6, the day after Labor Day, instead of the usua! September 1. The deputy min. {eter explained the lengthened holl-~ days ag a move to make it possible for teachers taking summer courses to have a-full month's holiday before returning to. school. "For several years to Come, sum- mer courses will have to be provided for the retraining of teachers that they may be prepared adequately to teach the new courses of studies," sald Dr, McArthur, "It is only fair and proper that thesa teachers who are engaged in taking summer courses should be as sured of a reasonabla Wwollday, - Spring apis Gayest Colors New Skirts Circular; Waists Sma!l- er In Paris Silhouette Nature says it is spring with posies blossoming, green grass and the sing- ing of birds. Women say it with gay costumes-- dresses that flaunt bright colors, hats with (lowers and flying ribbons and veils. Newest gkirts are circular or with" ful'ness introduced with all-around pleats, sometimes confined at the hip- line, but free lower down to swing in the breeze. Waists are smaller, hips are definitely in the picture, according to the latest Paris silhouette. At the same time there is a decided trend to- ward a lowered waistline, We see smart versions of this trend in easy fitted, sweater-like silk jackets worn over trim tailored silk dresses with pleated skirts, This costume is made in flower: printed silk with a cardigan jacket that has bright blue felt bands, Lingerie touches are favorite trim- mings on silk print dresses and suits as well as on plain, sheer silk dresses. Silk Coats Popular To complete ensembles smart wom- en favor silk coats, as endorsed by Paris. They are seen in silk alpaca, grosgrain or marocain, They feature usually soft dressmaker details and fitted lines. goes far in transforming dresses into distinguished costumes, has pushed-up sleeves and vertical tucks forming a fitted waistline, .

An unusual feature of this ensemble is the matching sleeveless, full-length box coat. There are many other interesting versions. -- Bed-Making Consider Comfort As Well As Appearance Beds shculd be made according to a definite routine for comfort plus that smooth look. Wrinkles must be kept out of every corner, so begin by placing the "pad smoothly over the mattresses. The bottom sheet should ~be placed with the centre crease ex- actly in the middle of the bed and must be tucked in well at the top and sides, with corners folded flat and smooth. The top sheet should be laid wrong side up with the large hem at _the top, and should be tucked in well at the bottom, ar Lay each blanket or cover evenly on the bed so that both sides can be pulled tightly and neatly. The hem of the top sheet is then turned back over the blanket for a neat finish to the covers. Fluff up. the feathers of the pillows to shape them, One model shown that Crystal Generates | Maternal Instinct Scientist Isolates Substance Linked To Mother Love Isolation of a pure crystal, which generates mother instinct when inject- ed into animals and which comes from the pituitary gland, was announced last week to the American Chemical Society meeting, at Dallas, Texas. The crystal was found by Yale che- 'mists and goes far toward explaining the riddle of "how we are made." It is the first time that any of the pro- ducts of the pituitary gland, a small hazel-nut-shaped organ at the base of the brain, has been extracted in pure form. The crystal proves to be projactic, the hormone which governs secretion fo milk by mothers, both human and animal. Prolactih in impure form was discovered several years ago. = It's A Protein Furthermore, the new Yale crystal line form proves to be a pure protein, Protein is the main part of living tis- sue and is one of the three basic food substances. The fact that this mother-instinct crystal is a protein, it is explained to the chemists, fits into a new picture of what constitutes the fundamental life processes. The report was made by 32-year-old Dr. Abraham. White, of Yale. He will receive the $1,000 Eli Lilly and Com. pany award in biological chemistry. How Much Would You Be Missed? Ask Yourselt These Questions If You Would Know "How good a citizen are you?" Did you ever sit down by yourself and ask yourself this question? Be- cause it will be worth your while to do 80, says the Sault Ste. Marie Star. And not kid yourself about the answer. ~You may think you -are a model citizen. You may bridle up and trink the above question absurd. But--let's get down fo cases -- do you pay your taxes and your bills when they shoy™* be paid? Or do you impose on everybody by putting these things off as long as you can? Do you spend money on things you could do without--money that really belongs to those who have, trusted you? Are you really fair t to these peo- ple? "Let George Do It?" Are- you one of those who think "the world owes you a living" you don't earn? Do you carry your own load as a man? Do you break the speed laws, and thus put others in danger? . Do you accept an office and then fail to discharge its duties? Are you a drag on efforts to make your fown a better place to live in? Do you sup- port bodies which try to help the gen- eral good as far as you can afford? \ "Toning Up With Rhubarb" Why anyone should feel the need of a tonic In the spring is beyond us. We have always thought that spring itself was about the best 'tonic nature could invent. The days of molasses and sul phur are definitely past but if-the feel- ing persists that your system does re- quire some form of natural tonic, try rhubarb. This fruit, which is not a fruit be- cause it is a plant stem served as . a fruit, is rich in mineral salts and sup- plements your daily need for.vitamins. Rhubarb is just coming on the mar- ket now and this is the best time to _gerye. it. Its color and flavour are ne- ver better and its tangy flavor is like a tonic to winter-worn appetites, Here is a rhubarb pie which is guar- anteed not to run, Quick-cooking tapi- oca is used to bind the ingredients and insures a flaky crust, When your pie is ready to serve, you'll cut the wedges proudly. For though the fruit juice is a clear, sparkling color, it will not run, all over the plate and the crust will be crisp.

Now the truth of the matter is this: No amount "gf fatigue which arises from sitting still is of any help to the bodily functions. i You can get tired all right, but it's not the same kind of fatigue as that which comes. after healthy exercise in the open alr. : So that whenever you go for an out- ing by train, bus you should incorporate a certain amount of walk- ing in your excursion. As pure exercise, there's a great deal to be sald for good straight-fors ward walking. I'm not referring to hiking, because that implies dressing the part, giving up a good deal of time, and walking long distances, I mean any walking exercise. Far teo few people nowadays use their legs enough. You'll Feel Better The human being, llke other ani. mals, is built in such a way that exer- cise is necessary for the attainment and preservation of perfect health. As walking_is the most natural, als though, of course, by no means the most violent, what I'm going to tell . you as to the effects of walking exer- cise, applies(- though in a less degree) to other forms of exercise. First of all it stimulates your cir culation, You .tend to breathe more air. Even if you don't do this volun. tarily, you're breathing = faster and more deeply because nature is de- manding more fresh air, Now this is a good thing, for you're getting rid of morefimpure air when you're walking than when you're sit- ting still, There are certain chemical changes which take place throughout the tiss- ues of the body as you take exercise, These consist in the stirring up of waste products which have been: de; posited in various parts of the body and their absorption into the blood stream. They'll find their way out of: \ deeply, to-take.a joy in sniffing. the -- ~~ the body by one channel or another. | Help Your Heart Just as people who neglect to take regular walking exeréise are often pale and look anaemic, so the man 'or "woman who lives inthe open air tends, other, things being equal, to have a fresh, healthy-looking complex: ion. Walking is good for the liver, which rieeds shaking up now and then, it it is to. perform its functions properly.
