She carried her mother's instructions to the office but there they were read, flied. ehd usually forgotten. Dutifui and loyal a daughter as she was, Alixe seemed determined of late l0 put the town's need ahead of her parent's prejudices. She had labored too long under the handi- cap of old-fashioned methods, knew the necessiiy for cooper- ation with other organizations, and a, broader outlook, And still she had the invalldh nerves to consider. She had to move cautious- ly, concealing from her mother as far es possible the crippling ef- fect of shrinking funds, the in- creasing poverty in town. The ef- fect of all this of course, was to increase the girls’ burden and pro- long her working hours- Aprii was glad to forget her disdain or a Bureau 10b on the rare occasions when she was not needed at the manor nnd could rlLn down to do letters or copy records for Afixe or Miss Sally, or help her friend, Noel Andrews in the milk kitchen.

Never, in Charity square or else- where did she see the man she looked for. What, April wandered, had become of Bill Brown?

It reminds me that some of our fam- ily are absent now, gone to sit. e- while with the one who lies at rest in her coffin and with the two left desolate indeed at her passing.

O I O Our farmers continued their fenc- ing, a task which on this farm of ours seems to be a tedious and lengthy endeavour and it was from a far line that James slipped away this afternoon to visit briefly at the house of mourning nearby. Many cups of tea, he has enjoyed at her hands, and often at evening in early Summer, he happened there to recall today the delicious and satisfying lunches she prepared for him. Then. her garden, always thrifty, yielded the riches of new lettuce and onion tops, both tempt- ing to him, Indeed i suspect that of necessity a quick return to the yard to bear away the recently graded potatoes, ending for us the shipping of last year's crop.

This truck was maimed by an ex alr- force man, a stalwart lad with an engaging smile and manner.
