CHARLOTTETOWN flafiflflflfivffffl ‘ Lonely Paradeg Fannie Hurst Chapter XXXIV To those few permitted to be- hold lt, the getting about of Miss Ames had by now become a pro- ceduire laborious and almost shock- lng. 1t meant practically a hauling together of every resource at the command of the vast hulk o! wo- man whose body rose from a chair as Lhe folds of a tent-rise from the ground when the pole begins to liolst. The face did not reveal the tremendous self-leverage re- quired to get the Gharlattenburg into motion. but the heaving o! the body did. People who came in casual contact with her did not, realize it for few, if any, had so much as seen her walk down a hallway or along a pavement in many a day. By a cunning and consistent system of self-manage- ment, she was invariably in position first. In her desk chair. In her theatre seat. In her place at table. That day was past when she pre- ceded hei: guests, as slowly ambul- ant as n caravan, into the dining room or down a flight of stairs. Almost imperceptibly past, how. ever. Feiv realized to what extent the Charlottenburg was now chair- riddcn; Kitty, strangely, least o: all. Kitty, who ivas so perfectly at- tuned to the Ciaiirlottenburg that she took pride in being able no ,m_ ticlpate her spoken wishes, realiz- ed with a start, as she followed the Chariotteonburg, who led the way this tlmP, through theibox to a side exit of the theatre, that it was months since she had seen her walk. And ivhat u, walk! A ship plowing through a bench. A rocking, buckling ship. There were hot and cold drinks, saitdwichcs and salads at Twenty- one East, which Erlin produced from a thermos table known as "The Butter" (patent pending). and about to be elaborately launch- cd by Kitty and the Charlottcn- burg in conjunction with its Chile- an inventor. On a. captial invest- ment of twelve thousand dollars, shared evenly by Kitty, the Char- lottenburg, Elsie Pretorlous and John Baldwin, "The Bulter comp- any" was in the current process of incorporation. Around this magic table before the Chiirlottenburgs fireplace, its sliding top revealing compartments of perfectly chilled or heated foods and drinks, the erstwhile occupants of the b0x at “The Boys and Girls Shoestring Review" drew up for it their congress of opinion. Except. Kitty. Her fragility enhanced by her pastel gown, gloves crushy about her wrists, the smallness of her head further efii-plihSlLed by its shock of short tight. curls, she wound herself on the footstool us- u-ally occupied by the tortoise SITEiI CM. one hand resting lightly or John's knee. “You've the town by the tail again, Sh-arleyi," she yawned. “It only your Kitty weren't so sit-by‘- the-fire, she'd swing the town by the tail with you, the way we did with Club Gala. Blame your big bad papa, Sierra. He's given me the sit-by-the-flres. Don't look so bored, Sharley. Love's grand." Without reticence John Baldwin's big hand, which still bore the cnl- loused look of one shaped to the drive and dig of the shovel, drop- ped to Kitty's ash-colored ourls. shampooing softly into them. "Mehbe," replied the Charlottcn- burg, “But it is making a pnlr of powerful nltwits of you and John. both n! you old enough to know better." Leaning forward. Sierra placed her hand over that of her father. as it. rested on Kitty's curled pate. He could not keep his tender fing- ors off her, or his tender face. his tender eyes. his tender manner from enfoldiilg her. "Good heavens. this is not a senti- mental binge, my lovesick pussies. FOR TRUE TOMATO FLAVOR Your Family Dourvu Aylmsr Guuiity J. iiorwooii llutfus P.:;;es in Halifax J. Norwood Duftus. one of Hial- lfaxis most prominent retired bus- iness leaders, passed away this morning at his residence. 13'! South Park Street. News of his death will occasion wide regret, particularly among older residents of the city who enjoyed his friendship and had been associated with him in the business life of the city, before his retirement from activity in the commercial world. While Mr. Duffus had been ail- ing for some Lime, he was possess- od of an amazing spirit and took every opportunity of temporarily improved health to resume his cus- tomary mode of life. However, in the past ferw days his condition gave evidence o1 further decline and he died this morning at. his home. He was a member of a family the name of which has long been associated with the city 0i Hail- fax. His father was the late James B. Duffus. who was the senio: partner of Duffus and Company, which operated a large drygcods house on Granville Street, near the foot of Buckingham Street. Young Norwood Duffus, immed- iately after leaving school, eriti-i- ed the employ in the firm in the role of a Junior clerk, but later the affairs of the company were wound up. In time he became the owner of S. Cunard and Company but re- tired from that role some 30 years ago. He also served or’ the advis- ory board o.’ the Royal Trust Company, but had retired from that capacity some years ago. In associations ivith his friends and in carrying out beneifactinns without allowing them to become public knowledge, he found his pleasures in recent years. When younger he was one of the most active members of the Wanderets Amateur Athletic Club and had played on the Etnglish rugby teams of that organization yours ago. Be- fore advanclng age curbed such activities he enjoyed fishing and also played some golf. Mr. Duffus ls survived by his wife, the fonner Miss Alice Ross of Montreal. Funeral arrangements have not been completed. Mr. and Mrs. Duffus are well known in Charlottetown being guests at the Charlottetown Hotel for several summers. This is once more a brief gather- ing o! the clan to cast an eye back- ward over the evening's goings on. Let's decided in a few well chosen WOiYlS whether my ‘Shoestring’ looks good or belongs to the tripe family. If you think I am going to sit up and wait for the innrnlriy’ mners in order to see how a few critics arc going to digest tonight's whale- scrme entertainment, you've an- othrr think romimz.

"Hare a care, Sheriey, the ro- vicws 'tomorrow may be on tho good side." "In which blessed event I shall proceed to celebrate the perspicaci- ty of the critic. What did you think of the ‘Girls who“ Aren't Glad‘ number, John?" "The one where they held the false faces? Well, now that you ask me, there was something a little puzzling to me about that. Why were they carrying two faces?" “I told Milton that the entire skit was too ‘precious’ and I'll run from preclousness with the same speed that Kitty falls for it." "But you're precious, darling." "Wall, if I am. it's horse sense preclousness. What about the ‘Mo- ther, I'm a Man’: number?" It was past two o'clock before discussion subsided and Kitty would tolerate the idea of Baldwin's de- parture, following him into the lower hall and ivhlspering there. Charlottenburg declared, "Like a haiisemaid with her cop." To be continued Ellen's lilary Continued from page 2 be-spiccd, and ready for the spell of ripening.
