Avis was in her element, the fg- ure of attention’in the small. roont filled with guests, eager to see Peter's “entry for the exhibit. Peter stood beside her, handsome. and. debonair, happy that his work was finished and well done. Camilla was a spec-| tator; in fact, she stood the farthest from the centre of interest, which was the velled statue. Avis ‘spoke brilliantly, tmpressive- ly; of her pride in Peter and his work, her hopes for his success, and vouchsafed for the good wishes of thesé friends of his ‘who were hon- ored to be present at the christening of his first. great: work. Camilla's eyes traveled from her illumined face to the modeled group in the window alcove which had been Peter's first gift to her. Nothirig he ever might produce cotild be more precious to her, and she doubted if anything could be much better. She actually believed that it was a bet- ter plece of work than the new “‘In- spiration; but conceded. that the lat- ter would probably qualify better as an exhibit entry. Peter had caught the spirit of the ‘thing so admirably in that group, perhaps because it*had been’ inspired by his new love for her and-her staunch defense of’ bis “ancestry. Avis concluded, “And it has been my' great privilege and honor to give the name to the marvelous piece of art, which I have called ‘Inspira- tion’.”| With a dramatic’ gesture she drew the veil from the’ figure and stood aside.

No: one cared particularly about the merits of the sculptured figure, the pertinence of its title or the success of its creator. They were much more intent upon the hilarity which this occasion afforded them and the liquid refreshments which awaited them across the hall. There was no time lost when they arrived here. Cocktails were passed immediately. Toasts were drunk to the sculptor and to‘his work, to his success, tothe one who had named the statue, to every possible subject —except Camilla. She was as-uscless as the veil which had shrouded the figure and was cast aside. She had inspired Peter, loved him, urged him to do the work, shielded him from obligations to .her, humored his moods, forgiven him harsh “and un- ioe words, sacrificed her personal appiness—and this was her reward. ~ Avis had intruded where she had no right, had insidiously command ed Peter's favor, usurped the priv- ileges of another—and now shared Peter's: momentary triumph as if she belonged to him. It was Avis with whom he danced first, out of duty and gratitude; Avis who clung to his arm possessively and discovered any number of rea- sons to prevent his dancing with the other girls. : ‘Though the rooms were _compara- tively small, Camilla was not near enough even to speak td ‘him for | ®98TY an hour. She: observed, wistfully, that his obsequious attentions . to Avis did not appear to be at all re- luctant.. But she chided herself for her jealousy and tried to be gay. When she finally did speak to Peter, desirous of one dance with him, he, exclaimed, “It’s too warm and crowded in here to dance. I’ve had enough of it, Gosh! I’m tired, anyway Here, Terry, take my wife, she wants to dance.” Terry was most obliging, while he made a few calculations ‘of his own. Give the Ansons another year, and he would have another chance to win Camilla. But he said casually, “Peter looks doné out, Guess he's been close at the grind all summer. It would have been more considerate of Avis to let him rest instead of giving this party.. I should think it would have been better to, wait to celebrate when the prize. is award < “But Peter may not win, then she couldn't give a’ party,” Camilla’ de- fended her, for effect. “That's right. Well, any party that’ gives me a chance to dance with you is okay, anyway. And do-we miss| you in our crowd! I'm not the only one who does, but I'm at the top of the list.” She laughed with indifference. “It is nice to be missed, but I am’mugh happier now than I ever was, much| as I like you all.” “Sure about, that?” quizzically. “Why, of course.” “and what will you do if Peter goes to Paris?” “Til wait to decide that when he goes,” she laughed, “but. I shan't have much time for gayety, I'm sure. I shall be very busy with my own work. Just then Peter danced ‘by with Avis, ostensibly enjoying himself. His head was inclined close to Avis’ lips, intent upon ‘what she was say- ing.. He laughed, and their eyes met with an intimate alr. of -understand- ing.” sae Camilla’s heart stood still for a moment,-and she-felt like ‘a wax fig- ure moving about the room propelled by Terry's arm. He said something that she did not hear. “Ym sorry,” she’ apologized. said, how Js your work going?” yh, splendidly.” “What do you do,. anyway? I know you work for an advertising agency, but what do you do?” “Just ad copy,” evasively. “Like it?” “Immensely.” _ She was beside peter again, for a moment, but. his eyes watched some- one across the room. It was Avis, who wore cloth of silver molded to her “figure as if she were a model cast in metal. Camilla yentured, “Avis looks lovely,, doesn’t she?” He nodded quickly then brought his gaze back to her as if he were seeing her for the first time. “Why didn’t you get a new dress for the party?” His-tone criticized her black lace of last season. “Why, I—didn't think it was so im- portant, Besides, I haven't had much time for shopping.” “So you don’t think the celebration of the finish of my first real work is very important?” he repeated, coolly. “Oh, of course—I didn’t mean it that way, dear, It's the party that Isn't important,” she smiled into his eyes, but there was no response. He seemed to be pre-occupied, lighting a ie '| cigarette. ‘Avis hurried up to bim, “Give it to me,” she requested. “I haven't time to light one. ‘And come in the other room with me. a, minute. I “MAKE-YOUR FALSE TEETH HOLD FAST shout and never ‘teeth have something to tell you that I just heard from Uncle John about the exhibit. Excuse us please,” she smiled, with saccharin sweetness, at Camilla, and took his arm posses- sively, as he transferred the lighted cigarette from his lips to her heavily rouged ones. The room blurred for Camilla, whirled dizzily. It must be the heat, or the portion of a coctail she had drunk—she must get outside. With- out notice, she slipped along the wall to the door and into the hall outside, glanced about her and quietly opened the door into Peter's studio. She would not be missed if, she went in here for a while, where “it was cool and dark and—she might cry a little to dissolve that horrible aching lump in her throat which threatened to choke her. She could not imagine what was the matter with Peter tonight. He was not him- self, and she wouldn't let herself be with him. She only wanted to be alone for a while to adjust her- self and somehow Iet the evening pass. After that, everything would be all right again. Peter was only tired and anxious and baffied with an exaggerated sense of obligation to Avis, who -had mad him believe she had done a great deal for him. He would see every- thing straight again after: this: ex- citement was over and they had had a little time together. She closed. the door and crossed the room to the armchair beside the window, where the immigrant group made a sharp silhouette against the dim light outside. She would not turn on the lights and attract: at- tention from across thé hall. With her aching head pressed on her hand, she began to plan for the week ahead all the time she could:give to Peter. She would take care of him 3 and let him rest and relax. ‘There were sounds at the door and it apened presently. Camilla looked us quickly. Avis was whispering to Peter, who ‘stood behind her in the square of light from the hall. Camilla rose from-her chair instantly, not trying to overhear what Avis was saying, and just as Peter reached over and turned on’ the lamp near the door. As.the light illumined the room, | each of them exclaimed incoherently when they. saw Camilla—and instant- ly, all three cried out at what the lamplight revealed to them. The bronzed figure, “Inspiration,” lay in shattered fragments on the floor. around the pedestal where they had left it standing so proudly’ an hour before.

It is a reminder of the days, which seem far-off, when we had a bar of our own up on Par- Nament Hin. It wasn’t much of a bar in size, and didn’t have a rail for one's feet, but what it lacked in spaciousness it more than made up in other ways. One might get anything there, from a mint julep to Guinness's stout, and get it at any time from three o'clock in the afternoon until one hour after the rising of the House, which, in those days, might be three o'clock in the morning. 'Twas a great aid to parliamentary. eloquence. Many an otherwise mute and inglorious De- mosthenes turned out a fair maiden speech under its inspiration, and many an obstructionist was produc- ed who would have delighted the heart of Parnell. The well known handwriting on the wall came for it with the. Speakership of Dr. Sproule. That most lovable of Speakers, a ‘strong temperance man, objected to the conviviality of the parliamentary Bohemians being carried on so far into the night, especially as the bar was directly over the apartments where he slept, and he suffering from insomnia. So an edict went forth that the bar must close with ¢ | the rising of the House, which, truth to tell, was a late enough closing for a Bae at any place. it wasn't. Mr. Speaker Aint most popular ruling. And we remember how some of the legis- lators,- resenting this onslaught on their personal lberty, used to get up processions and march up and down before the good Speaker’s apart- ments singing the “Wearing of the Green,” they knowing he was a grand Orangeman. A few years later, and there came prohibition. And the bar never came back.—Ottawa Journal. Moving Reindeer By Motor Seven Being Taken From’ Sweden To French ees Seven reindeer are being trans- ferred from Sweden’ to the French Pyrenees, and it 1s expected that they will not reach their destination un- til summer. They ‘are in charge of two Swedes and a Lapp, who will care for them after their arrival until the experiment of transplant- ing 1s completed. The journey is being made in a motor truck, and long stops are made on the way to accustom the animals to the changes of climate. How they will thrive in the land of starlit summer nights instead of the silvery twilight of Sweden, is a conjecture. Reindeer once lived in the French Pyrences, and the experiment is to get them to settle there and multiply. A similar trial was made some years ago, but the. long trip was made by boat and train, and the animals died. Using Small Potatoes English Firm Proposes To Make Substitute For Flour A company is being formed at Ely, England, for the manufacture of farina, and dextrine from ‘potatoes. In the past one of:.the. problems of the potato grower has been to find a market for his undersized vegetables, or “small.” This new factory pro- poses to utilize them. They will screen the potatoes over a 1 inch riddle, ‘The new industry will cosume 75,- 000 tons of this year’s crop, and after ‘two years will materially in- crease that figure. Farina, du) the war, was used as a substitute for flour. -It is still extensively used in the manufacture of foodstuffs.

(MADE IN CANADA, Does Not Harm the Heart ~~ Canadian Stamps Auctioned Exceedingly Rare Specimens For Seven Thousand Dollars Seven thousand. dollars for two Uttle pieces of gummed paper; to- gether less than two inches square.

True, the little pieces of paper are dignified by the name of stamps. ‘They were two of the 1851 issue of Canada, valued 24 cents ,and bearing a charming portrait of Queen Vic- toria in her early womanhood ‘These stamps, described as “superb in every respect and exceedingly rare,” were items in the collection Sold of the late Arthur Hind, of the United States. The renown of the collection brought buyers and issions from all parts of the world, and in the saleroom were people those names are familiar wherever stamp collecting is discussed—Messrs. Stan- ley Gibbons, F. B, Smith, T. Allen, R. Roberts, L. Aarons, H. Nissen, L. Gill, Josling. Experienced men of the world though they are, and doubtless act- ing on commission for clients, they were as excited as a pack of school- boys about the treasures displayed before their eyes. Bidding was lively. That for a block of four Newfoundland stamps started at $1,250, and rose to double that sum. Then there was what was describ- ed as.“an immaculate pair” of cold violet Nova Scotia stamps, used on an envelope to India with a yellow green. This fetched $2,300, but a prominent expert said afterwards that many collectors would not con- sider themselves robbed.if they were asked '$2,500 for this lot, because “there is hardly any doubt that an- other such pair does not, ae in the world.” THE RHYMING ~ OPTIMIST By Aline Michaelis —— CHIMING CLOCK Have sou aise where a clock strikes So tons oa no more heard Its chime?
