"Why oh why?" sighed the pretty widow. “did I fall in love with my husband's killer?" But later. when she'd had more time to think things over. she realized that Otto had been doing for his country. what her husband had been doing for theirs. that no blame could be attached to Otto~ ‘and that she still loved him dear- y.

Learn to be brief remembering that “brevity is the soul of wit." We can bear up under some pretty severe pains if they be brief. while even pleasure can become boresome it we get too much of

Somebody once said that Cana- dians have no culture and no etiquette of their own, and that if we ever succeed in making one for overselves we must follow tltose customs in vogue in other countries that speak the same Llanguage. What nonsense! As a ‘young nation we are not only hold- ing our own but are marching with long strides to the highest ideals in nationhood.
