Nobody would ever have believed her a day older than twentyâ€"five, no one, that is to say, who had not watched youth ebb from her face as Lanyard had when he told her of the death of de Lorgnes. One night at dinner ILAane Delorme appeared in a summery tollette that would have made its mark on the beach of Deary‘ :o.

Trying to put himself in Liane‘s place, Lanyard believed that he would never have neglected the opportunity to steal away from Paris while he slept and leave him to gnaw his nails in the mortification of defeat. Why she had not done so, why she had permitted Monk and Phinuit to play their comedy of offering him the jewels, passed un-‘ dorstanding. But Lanyard felt assured Liane would not keep him waiting long for enlightenment as to her intentions. But it was inconveivsble that he should fail to outwit and frustrate them, who had the love and faith of Eve de Montalais to honor, cherish. and requite.

' _ The proposal for a driver‘s license for motor car operators has been herâ€" alded for some time past by Hon. George 8. Henry, Minister of Highâ€" ways. The intention originally was to make it effective at the beginning of the present year, but clerical difiâ€" culties in the department prevented it being handled then, due to the rush incidental to the issuing of the motor license plates. It was stated at that time, however, that the licenseo would come into force about midâ€"Summer. Every motorist in Ontario will, after July Ist next, be required to carry a driver‘s license. An orderâ€"inâ€"Council to this effect was passed recently at the Cabinet Council meeting of the Ferguson Government and announced recently.

On this ground of capital importance the struggle has now comâ€" menced in earnest, and on the issue Rurlct Te is | that the line is to a large extent seltâ€" ‘cleaning, and in its installation road disturbance is reduced to a minimum. High Concrete Kerbs A good deal has been written, and with reason, against the use cf the latest pattern of high concrete kerb, A kerb serves two useful purposes. One is to keep the roadway from spreading, and the other to protect pedestrians. It would seom, however, that the employment of high kerbs, vertical throughout their height, is being exaggerated, and that while there is little real need for them in the form in which they are being laid down throughout the country at the present time, they are a possible source of danger rather than of inâ€" creased safety, There are occasions, and they may well arise where footâ€" paths ere rarely used, when a driver must mount the kerb if he is to avoid a smash. It may be that he gets pinched owing to some other vehicle allowing insufficient space. Were the top of the kerb bevelled, he would be whle, in many emergencies, to get temporarily on to the footpath. With the high vertical concrete kerb it is almost impossible to mount the footâ€" path. Evidence Of accidents dAua +a Other considerations of its use relate ‘|to arresting vehicles in areas where | there is policeâ€"controlled traflic and |guiding lines. In the former case the | white line is proving of considerable |value in London, as it tends to preâ€" |vent drivers from encroaching on space which ig of definite value to crossâ€"traffic. Guiding lines are, of course, of great service as directional signals where oneway or roundâ€"about |syuem¢ are employed. It is essontial |that the white lines should be perâ€" |manent and visible by night as well 'as by day. Finality has not been reached in the matter, but satisfactory progress has been made. Some lines are composed of aluminium reinforced with concrete and laid among wooden blocks. Again, guiding lines are im use which are composed of white fire clay pegs driven into the wooden blocks in consecutive rows of three, ‘tho pegs being reinforced with steel ‘cylinders to withstand heavy traffic. ’ This method has the double advantage that the line is 1b h InNFEILL nÂ¥hint aale Psychology plays an important part in the matter. A white line suggests to drivers that the side of the romd pound the corner is clear, and that in consequence a reasonable speed can be safely maintained. The necessity for accurate marking is apparent, for If a line is badly laid and a driver finds he is compelied to run over it his faith in the usefulness of the line will be diminished. Recurring experience of this sort will soon lead to disregard of the line. Again, if correctness of the line is not observed, it may lead to faulty cornering, which is already an unpleasant and prominent tendâ€" ency of the inexperienced and inconâ€" siderate motorist. Standing within a white line area should be made an ofâ€" fence, for it is clearly of importance that such a part of the road should be kept as clear as possible. Properly Maintained Prove Particularly Helpful at Sharp Turns. The value of the white line is genâ€" erally acknowledged to be considerâ€" able. Its use has, indeed, reduced a certain type of road risk. It is an obvious exhortation to do the right thing; and its adoption is rapidly beâ€" coming wider in town and country, acâ€" cording to a correspondend in the Lonâ€" don Times auto number.
