A Romance of Today

By Joanna Cannon

They alllunched together and as soon as the meal was over, Connie Ever: said that she had got to go out and find a birthday present for her little brother. She said that she would go while Fay and Geoffrey had coffee and that she would come back to the restaurant and pick them up again. Fay said that she thought John's birthday wasn't till October and Connie said that the other children kept on worrying to know what she had got. So she went away and Fay and Geoffrey looked at each other across a vase of drooping asters and said nothing for quite a long time,

At last Geoffrey said, "I'm sorry I made you come here when you didn't want to." and Fay said, "I did want to. Only . .

“Well, you've avoided me ever since Dereham," Geoffrey burst out. “I suppose it's because that day on the bus I asked you to come out with me. And yoil don't ivnnt to "It isn't tlitlit I flout wuiit to," said Fay. "Honestly, it isn't. Only

"If you did want to, ‘Only,’ wlmt- evcr it is, wouldn't mutter. Fuy, it's so stupid and usoess going on like this. Am I never to see you properly again? Won't you come out with me one evening to dinner and a show?" Fay played with lier coffee spoon. “It's awfully kind of you. But I don't, g0 out very much. Mother doesn't like it unless it's with peo- ple we know at home. I can't ex- plain it, but I expect you know what parents are."

"I do," said Geoffrey. “No one better. But my experience is that one has to short circuit them some- how or» one would never get on with oue‘s own life at all. Couldn't you persuade her? After all, she knows who I am."

"Mother isn't at all easy to per- suade," Fay told him. "She's rather Victorian." ' "Well, I'll tell Geoffrey. "I'll come and her."

Fay brightened. "Oh, will you? Perhaps, then . . ."

“When shall I come,’ asked Geol- frey. "This evening after the office? And when will you come out with me? Oh, I know! Suppose I come ready dressed and sit and ciiat for a bit and then we g0 out. and do our dinner and show to-night? What's the use of waiting? The world might end! D'you think your mother would stand for that,"

Fay thought so. They decided on a musical play which neither oi them had seen. Thcil Connie Evers came into the room. ,

"I didn't find anything for John after all," she told thern. Then she spoke to Geoffrey. "I would have gone on looking only itls five minu- tes past one."

Cll AFTER V ll MRS. BENNETT

Mrs. Bennett was a widow. She received paying guests in her home at Denmark Hill.

The paying guests at that time were six in number. There were two elderly maiden ladies, a German governess, two Indian students, and the octogenarian relict of a mis- sionary.

Mrs. Bennett ran the house with the help of a slatternly girl named Rose.

When Geoffrey Gilmour rang the front door bell, he heard an urgent voice in the basement calling, "Your clean apron, Rose!" A few moments later the door was opened and he walked into an extremely dark and narrow hall filled with the smell of boiling cabbage. I-le put his opera hat down on a bamboo table, where stood a small, gilt sons, and was ushered into a sitting-room on the left side of the hall. "I'll tell Mrs. Bennett,“ said Rose, and disappear- ed.

For a moment Geoffrey thought that ho was alone. There were loop- ed-up Nottingham lace curtains at the window and the room was rath- er dark. He walked over to a sofa by the fireplace and sat down. Then he saw that in the armchair oppos- ite him a very old lady was sleep- ing. On her lap a large and slight- ly mangy tabby cat. With every breath she took, the cat rose and iell.

Geoffrey left slightly embarrassed. He rose, tip-toad away from the fire place and sat down in a dark corner near a fern.

The octogenarian stirred, uttered a sound like “Ouch," and slept again. Rleassured, Geoffrey looked round the room. It was, he thought, quite the most terrible room that he had ever seen. He had imagined Fey's home; and had imagined it small, bright and sunny. This was a fair-sized room. The paint. was chocolate brown: against a brown background, embossed blue cabbages ramped along the walls. The so“, which lie nod just vacated was my. ered with a lamp green cretonne. The armchairs were of a deep red plush further embellished with an- tlmacassar sets of crocheted lace. A

“Geoffrey Gilmour?" Geoffrey stood

up and shook hands. He had irnll- ined Fall's mothefas slim. PNTIt-Y- youthful, neat and kind. But Ibo was not like that. She was tail. an- gupm and very untidily dressed in shapeless black. She wore a false front of frizzl’ 8W3’ h“! m‘! WV‘ era! pieces of good bu t old-fash- ioned jewellery. Some indications of a former beauty had survived the apparently \llll't3SiStCd, march of time. She had Fails lovely eyes and short, straight nose, but her mouth

l was thin-llpped and iull oi particu-

larly unlifelike false teeth which moved slightly when she spoke.

e1 am very glad to welcome you." she said, sitting down.

“It was very kind of you to let me come," said Geoffrey, speaking quietly with an anxious glance to- wards the occupied armchair. "You need not be afraid to speak aloud, Mr. Gilmour," said Mrs. Ben- nctt. “Mrs. dc Souza is quite deaf. We shall not wake her. Such a won- derful old lady. Eighty-nine?‘

"Really?"

The conversation languished.

“I say, that is awfully old, isn't it?" said Geoffrey desperately.

"A good age," agreed Mrs- Ben- nett.

“Splendldfl said Geoffrey.

“My poor husband died compara- Lively young," sold Mrs. Bennett- "I-le was a musician. a wonderful conductor. I have his baton 11P- stairs. Fay is my only child. I did so hope that she had inherited his talent, but it was not to be. How- ever, she seems quite satisfied in her present work." l

"Office work is rather dull for her," said Geoffrey. "But I suppose one gets used to it. And it's not as bad as some offices. l-iave you ever been there?"

“I don't get about much, Mr. Gil- incur," said Mrs. Bennett, gloomily. “I am obliged to work."

Geoffrey made a sympathetic sound.

Silence iell.

BELFAST

Mr. Magnus Fraser, I-Iopefield, visited Belfast recently, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Frizzell, El- don. '

Mrs. Calvin Bishop, Mt. Buch- anan, has, gone to the U. S. A. to spend the winter with her daughter, Mrs. Herbert Kenny, also visiting her sisters and brothers.

Rev. B. Hensley Stavert, Hunter River, was in Belfast recently, on a business trip.

The Point Prim Mission Band held their entertainment and grab box in the school on Dec. 9th. A pleasing sum was realized, which goes to W. M. S. work.

The Y. P. S. C. E. of St. John's Presbyterian Church held their reg- ular weekly meeting on Dec. 0th. with a good attendance. Mr. W. I-I. Mclnnls was leader for the even- ing. The topic was “How can we work for Christian Unity?" A splendid response was given by the members. The scripture reading was John 1'1: 18-23, 1 Cor. 3 6-8. Mrs. Mabel McEacliern presided at the organ. The regular business came before the meeting. Report of the financial part of the recent concert was given and all bi'ls mov- ed paid. The choir did not meet for their regular practice at the close. All the members apparently felt the need of relaxing after the strain of the concert.

The recent rains have filled up the swamps comparatively well, thus laying the foundation for good win- ter roads when the real frost sets in.

Church services were held in both churches on Sunday, Dee. 11th, as usual with a fair attendance. At the United Church in the after- noon, the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered instead of on a previous Sunday, as announc- ed in this column through error. Both churches are planning to unite for week of prsyer services.

Mrs. J. I. Skinner, The Manse, Bebe River, has been visiting her uncle, Mr. Alex J. McDonald, in iiopeiield, who is not very well.

Farmers are busy this week get- ting their chlcke l! ready for the Christmas market.

A in Charlottetown last night when the referee situation was dis- cussed bring to light that Jack Brown of lvloncton will probably be ousted due to a very vigorous ob- jection entered by Charlottetown and Halifax clubs. Brown, it is re- ported, was the main bone of con- tention during the five hours of dis- cussion the Charlottetown club ab-

The outcome has reduced the force of referees to three, Jack Car- roll of Moncton, Roy Prowse, of Charlottetown, and Harry Butler, of Halifax, according to the report. No omcial report has been issued, but it is understood this will be forth- coming as soon as James Hanway, K.C., President of the league, has considered the minutes which were given to him today. - v
