"Preserve them. The question is cash on hand. I've enough for your minimum passage home and no- thing better."

“It isn't my money. I..ex-l..ohen- grin will settle eventually. I thought you understood thdt Meters left you in my charge." He was commandin_ himself to pati-

He rose. “Then I am afraid. In that case I'll see what I can do about my own passage."

Despite this per- son though she might. and though she told herself that she ought to, the idea of his sailing away caused a definite vacuum in her courage. “And leave me here?" she quavered "You won't, go and you don't ‘want to face staying.

Somehow she did not tell him so. She said merely. "No." so mcekly mt ‘she inwardly raged at her-

"Thsn you may as well rriake up your mind to be human."

“All right." (She still reserved the privilege of hating and despis- ing him at such intervals as she could bring it to mind.)

“Now for business. We'll have to pool our cash. I've got sixty-four dollars."

"I've got nearly twenty. won't that last quite a while?"

“Hardly. You can stay at the Duchesse tonight. Tomorrow's mov- ing day. And we must go on a budget if you know what ﬂirt means." "l-fasn't a. budget something to do with not having enough money for what you need?"

"Good definition. let's make it out. What's first?"

"Clothes. Let's go shaping." she cheered up at the idea.

A dinner dress of black taffeta is siven s puritsn look by its edg- ing of white English embroidery on the high neck, pointed front panel and tiered bustle.

Pearl Flowers, a. crinoline by I-Iartnell, has a tiny, roll-collared bodice. the skirt embroidered with iridescent sequins and mother-of- Pearl. A full-skirted lemon tulle is scattered with prirnrosss like a wood in spring.

The handsome young groom wore yellow trousers and a dark coat with long tails. His shirt show- ed frilly ruffles above a cream- coloured velvet waistcoat. When- ever their eyes met. the colour mounted to the bride's cheeks. causing them to bloom like a June rose.

The bride was all dressed up in white muslin and looked. when between dances she stood on the moonlit terrace. like a gorgeous butterfly.

she is really in love she gets pretty much the same reaction to some particular lad that mother did. His coming turns on the lights and sets’ the joy bells ringing. and makes this the best of all possible worlds and a grand old place to live in. , so.un1eu some man is necessary to you, unless without him the gayest party is a flop: the finest dinner dust and ashes in your mouth; the brightest day duli~ and cloudy, you are not really in love.

Nor are you in love as long as you have to justify your love and give a reason for it. If you have to say I love John because he is so intelligent or Tom because he is a £0-Better or Sam because he i8 kind to his mother, what you have is only synthetic love. When you are really in love with a man, you love him because you love him and without any reference whatever to what he is or is not. It is just be- cause he is he and you are that way about him.

Then consider whether you have hallucinations or not. If you think some snub-nosed, carroty-haired youth is handsomer than Gre- gory Peck and you live in terror of the movies snatching him away to Hollywood or if you think some ordinary youth without two ideas to bless himself with an oracle upon whose words you hang and whose opinion you quote, /then you may be sure that he is it so for as you are concerned. No girl in love ever sees a. man as he is. As long as she can discern his fault: and his weaknesses she hasn't even got a rise in temperature. She is perfectly normal.

DO YOU GET FED UP?

Next, pay careful attention to your reaction to his society. Do you get fed up on him when he hangs around a lot or do you never get enough of his company? A great poet declared once that the test of love was whether you could muse all day on an absent face that had fixed you. That's hooey. Anybody can long for an absent face. The trick is to stand the one that you have gazed upon 365 days a year and still like it. _

Next, consider whether you are in love with the boy or the good times he gives you. Is he all mixed. up in your mind with flowers and candy and night clubs and automobiles and do you think of life with him as a prolonged party? Would he look list as good to you if he were poor and shabby and didn't have the money even to take you to the movies often, and if being married to him meant hard work and pinching the pennies and wondering where the rent money was coming from? ‘

And, finally. note whether you want to mother a boy or not. All true feminine love is half-maternal. It has to be that way or else every woman would be a divorcee, A woman who is really in love with a man doesn't see his faults or she thlnks'they are all right because they are his and she begins worrying over his health.

So if you are sure you have found the one perfect man. and you telephone to know if some strapping six-footer has gone home without being run over by an automobile, that’; love. You've got it. .

In a spell off from duty yesterday, we enjoyed reading “We Keep a Light" by Evelyn M. Richardson, an engaging tale of life as lived in a lighthouse on Ben Portage, a small island lying at the south west tip of Nova Scotia. three miles from the main- land. It is a brave story of the everyday all season living, inter- woven skillfully with the ways of the sea as it washes that bold coast —of winds and tides, of ships and buoys,\ of cairn and tempest, of sun and fog . . . and the light they keep to help pilot the sailor to some safe haven.
