Promenade Deck . . by Ishbel Ross CHAPTER XXII Dick Chavlton took oft his jacket Biid put 0!i his di-essing-sown, he lightoU his pipe and sat down at his desk to read. A knock- at the door. He opened it wide, and found Joan BtandinK outside, the strap of her satin frock slipping down over her arm, and her wild green eyes ablaze with light. Dick grew pale but con- trolled himself. He couldn't forget â- what this devilish girl had done to Mis.s Mudge. 'What do you want?" he de- manded. "I want ^o speak to you, Dick. I want to tell you I'm sorry. I swear I didn't mean to hurt herâ€" or you. I swear I didn't." ''Joan, I hope never to see you again as long as I live," said Dick, in a voice that stung like a lash. "Oh, c!i, Dick, you can't mean it! You can't have forgotten our night together." ''I've forgotten everything except your unkmdnesses." The doer moved in her face. "No, no, Dick, don't do that!" She was looking at the closed door. Ke had meant it, then. It was all over with Dick, who had seemed for a brief space to And her desirable. She knocked at the door again. There was no response. She would go to the bar. An hour later Joan was on her way to the top deck again, with the vague idea of having a plunge to cool herself off. That idiot Mac- duff was standing at the top, star- ing down at her. Now would be as good an occasion as any to tell him what she thought of him. There were times when Joan burned to express her tn:e opinion of some of her follow passengers and here was a g-ood chance. An Empty Tank "Looking for Mrs. Wynant?" she enquired, reeling up against him. He pushed her off. "No," he said. "That's funny." She laughed on a piercing note. .M.Acduff regarded her with disgust. "I don't like your looks," said Joan, "and I don't like the way you're staring at me now. Who do you think you are, anyway? You're scarcely human." She prodded him in the ribs. Macduff (lid not move. "But I like the way you can drink." She grew confidential. "Let's have a brandy together. Come to my room." "No, thanks." ''AH right, big boy. Joan's going to have a swim." She made a gamine gesture and follovi'ed a twisting course to the pool. Macduff watched her, won- dering if she weren't tipsy enough to drown. What an appalling girl I Even before she had reached the door she stooped down, caught her frock at the hem and began to pull it over her head. He could see her long, slim legs. The pool was dark, except for the green light in the far corner. Her dress came off and was Hung to the floor; then she spread her arms for a dive. He caught a slimpse of her gleaming back in the second before she jumped. He waited for the splash, hoping that it would sober her up. It was his duty to see that she did not drown. But no splash came. Only a dull crash that sickened Macduff and hurried his footsteps through the dour that Joan had entered. God in Heaven, the tank was drained! For a moment he shut his eyes, then leaned over the edge to look. The green light spread its sickly suffu- sion, and there, on the tiles, lay Joan.

It was crushed on the tiles. Slowly he realized that the girl must be dead. Through a mist he saw her dress lying on the floor beside him, (lame red, still warm from her body. There was no other trace of her, not a scrap of underwear. She had died as recklessly as she had lived. The ship was heaving gently, rocking her white body. On every deck people were packing for land- ing. No one could know that he was standing here alone, guarding a lifeless form. He must do some- thing about it. He must start the horrible chain of machinery mov- ing. Two girls ilead across his path! Joniiy in the China Sea and • the click of her heel on his wall,, Jouii with her brains dashed out be- fore his eyes. He had sworn to avoid all hitman contact, yet fate had caught him twice in the orbit of death. Was it punishment tor vowing that he would travel alone and apart? Were people not in- tended to avoid one another and the burden of mutual care? Had he been ducking life and had An- gela touched his sensibilities at last? Was there something else that one must heed besides the in- violability of one's solitude and the warmth of a glass of whisky? Mac- duff's strong Highland sense of su- perstition was aroused. Sweat stood on his brow. Thoughts flow- ed through his mind in molten mas- ses. The numbness of forty years was wearing off, and each nerve was a red-hot needle, coming to life and pricking his flesh. (To Be Continued) Guarding Child's Eyes Important See That Your Child Reads In the Right Position, the Right Light; Avoid Strain It is important to remember that these first years of reading, studying or doing any sort of close work at all inay easily be a strain on your child's eyes. Up to the time he is four or five years old, Johnny has used his eyes rather vaguely. He has done a lot of staring at the sky, for instance; he has watched peo- ple and animals and things, but as a whole rather than in detail. Now, when he learns to read, write and do little sums, he is also learning to concentrate both his mind and hi.« eyes. Reit Them Off and On Besides the obvious precautions of seeing that when he is reading or writing he is sitting at the right height, in the right light (which should always come from behind him), and is dealing with a good clear print, you should make a rule that at first the child doesn't work any more than an hour a day. Encourage him to rest his eyes when he is not working. Teaching children to wash their eyes carefully every day is really as important as teaching them to brush their teeth. You can start by bathing them with a piece of cotton wool soaked in eye lotion, but the best way is to use an eye- bath. Even if your child's eyes seem as strong and healthy as you could wish, it's always worth while hav- ing them tested now and again. Birth of Triplets Is Mother's Third CAPETOWN, South Africa. â€" The wife of a railroad employee, named Groenewald, gave birth last week to her third set of trip- lets at Frankfort, Orange Free State, according to dispatches re- ceived here. The couple were married in li>26 and have had 14 children, including twins. Eight are alive. WAITING FOR YOU! in town i> your copy of this week's Toronto Stat v^ Weekly â€" don't forjet it. Tiredness May Be Due To Worrying Often Fatigue Is Not Caused By Organic Trouble At All A patient visited a physician and complained of a tired feeling all the lime. j\fter a careful examination he advised him to visit his dentist and bring a report as to the con- dition of his teeth including an X- ray e.xamination. When the pati- ent returni'ii with a statement from the dentist that there was no in- fection of the teeth or gums, the physician simply turned to the pa- tient and said. "Suppose you tell me the whole story, I And no cause for your tiredness nor does your dentist, so that your tiredness is not due to organic trouble of any kind. You have something on your mind, something that has you think- ing most of the day and part of the night; it is this constant thinking â€" worrying, or puzzling of your brain â€" that is keeping you con- stantly tired. And until you get it settled in some way you will re- tnain tired." Not The Work Itself Tiredness is sometimes said to be due to overwork but it may be the worry about the work, not the work itself that causes the tired- ness. And if the individual cannot adjust himself nicely to his work, then the constant upset state or this lack of adjustment is going to keep him tired. Perseverance Is Always Required If You Want to Be Slim Have Beautiful Hair and A thorough, nightly brushing is just about the best treatment for hair. And this is true wheth- er it is too dry, too oily or just plain .Jifeless looking. One who brushes her hair every single night, using upward and outward strokes, of course, is sure to see an improvement within three months and a great deal of im- provement within six. The simplest, most painless way to lose weight is to take a long, brisk walk and do a few reducing exercises every single day. And to eat smaller portions of every- thing. No fad diets, mind you â€" just smaller portions and, of course, no rich desserts. France is issuing travel cards entitling tourists to cheaper fares and reductions in gasoline prices. The "Plus'' Girl She's Got That Extra Sonne- thing â€" A Capacity for En- joying Life, a Genuine Inter- est In Everyone You Meet Make For Popularity. Some one is always the life of the party, says a writer in the Lon- don Daily Express. In every tennis club, every ofllce, every seaside ho- tel, one or two girls make all the others look uninteresting. Do you ever wonder why? Do you ever wonder what makes a Plus Girl? Let's analyze in detail the points that make them Plus. She's Natural You will find that her charm is based on probably unconscious obedience to a few simple rules. She does not obey all of them al- ways, but she does so more than the other girls. Conform to these rules, and you can be a Plus Girl yourself. 1. She is natural. She doesn't try to be somebody else. 2. She is not afraid of being snubbed or misunderstnod, doesn't waste time thinking of people as possible enemies. ;i. She looks liappy. It is easy to like some one who looks happy. That does not mean put on a non- stop hyena act, but it does mean that you should make a genuine effort to smile a lot. Make your- self look happy and you'll soon be happy. 4. She seems to bo genuinely in- terested in the people she talks to. She really wants to know about their children and their interests. She pays them the compliment of appearing wholeheartedly interest- ed in what they have to say. Hats For Autumn Will Be Practical The hat silhouettes for autumn are largely practical, and with an occasional exception in a tiny hafe for formal wear, are designed for general acceptance. There are pillboxes with bright trimmings or irregular formations, tricornes which are of comfortable propor- tions with bows for height, and many spectator sports hats with brims that expose the hair at one side and with conical, high crowns, the height augmente^l by off-shooting quills. Among the brimless styles are a number of very high fez shapes, made of suede in a combination of two or more colors, striped or in patchwork effect. Also numerous are the visor effects, which com- plement different small silhouettes with or without brims. « Her Cake Won the Prince » By KATHARINE BAKER The honour of being the hos- tess of the first tea room at the Canadian National Exhibition goes to Mrs. Ella Ward, of Toronto, who pioneered in this field in 1907. With a dozen cups and saucers, she opened the first tea room on the grounds and when the number of cups increased to 150 she sold her concession. Mrs. Ward remembers going to the Ex- hibition at the age of 6 when the only means of transportation was a horse ear. Later when she went into the tea room business, open electric cars brought her to the grounds, .\mong Mrs. Ward's first customers was the then Prince of Wales, now Duke of Windsor. She recalls that he ate enormous quantities of her chocolate cake. Though the methods of trans- portation have changed and there are dozens of tea rooms on the grounds today, her chocolate cake is still a royal treat. Here are some of Mrs. Ward's favourite recipes, including the chocolate cake which the Prince of Wales enjoyed.

Bride Makes Home In Mining Camp Finds it Fun, But She Misses Labor-Saving Devices Making a home in a mining town may seem like work to most people, but to Mrs. John Fergu- son, Sachigo River, Ont., it is a "lot of fun". Mrs. Ferguson went to the mining centre as a bride in November. The frontier type of housekeeping doesn't bother Mrs. Ferguson. .Although she misses the labor-saving devices that electric- ity makes possible, she doesn't mind a little e.xtra work "in such pleasant surroundings." "Never Bored" With only three white women at Sachigo Kiver during the win- ter, things might have been rath- er dull. "We knitted and visited and sometimes played bridge, so we were never bored," she ex- plained. "There is a small library at the settlement and v.e rend a great deal." Living in the north is economi- cal, too, according to Mrs. Fer- guson. "Spring hats'? Why, we never . even thought of them. I have only one hat there and I wear it when absolutely neces- sary. In the winter it is too cold, and in the summer I don't need one." Mrs. Ferguson is a graduate of the University of Manitoba. She obtained her Master of .Arts de- gree in in35.
