A wisp of pale-gray cloud drifted through Faulkner's Pass and traversed the airways above the desert. A second followed. They had barely enough substance to cast a shadow on the scene. Never- theless, those tiny end languid eplotches were followed by the hopefully admiring eyes of all Sandrock. They vanished from the anxious sight of man, and a. hot wind rose and veered and blew the aroma of the greasewood busu into the disappointed nostrils of the citizenry. For a day or so Mira Bliss appeared to the friendly Cric- ket to be depressed. One evening the d-uenna took her aside. "I want to talk to you. Confidentially." "Yes, Miss Bliss?

It 1s an awful warning unless you are prepared to let your husband's mother boss you. DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: What should we do about people who bor- row books and never return them? Why do nice people who fall to return anything else they borrow so seldom ever return a book? And why are people so offended when you ask them to return books that they have kept for months? I arn a great lpver, of good books and have a fine collection of them which I would enjoy re-reading from time to time if they had only been aent back to ,me. Why la this? Miss Beatrice Cameron, Head of Hillfibowillh. spent the week-end in Charlottetown recently. Mr. Hamilton Douglas and Mr. Alonzo Birt. Head of Hillsborough, were business visitors to Charlotte- A BOOK LOVER town on Thursday. ANSWER: I think that the real explanation of why so ‘many people have no conscience about returning the books they have borrowed la be- aauae they are not really book lovers. They don't care enough about a ubook to spend the money that it takes to buy it, a0 they borrow it, glance over it, then chuck it on a shelf, or lent-l it: to somebody else who passes it on to an acquaintapce, until it is lost in the shuffle, or comes back so battered that lis owner doesn't know it. Personally, when 1 lend a book I kiss it good-bye, because I never expect to see it again. Probably the good, sweet, otherwise honorable borrower intends to return the volume, but she seldom gets around to doing lt. I have even had a friend apologize for keeping a book so long and than go on keeping it the balance of her life, so far as I ever knew. The only solution of the book problem ls by regarding it from the altruistic standpoint. Realize you have done a good degd by furnishing readers with books that they would never have bought as long as they could be borrowed. ~ Mrs. Oliver Douglas and little dflllkhler Marlene, Head of Hills- borough, have returned home after a pleasant visit with relatives in Lorne Valley. i_.__._._..___i___ CORNWALL WM-S.
