MMMM 'if Promenade Deck . . by Islibel Ross CUAl'TKK XXlll Joan was dead, but things did nut end there. He must rouse Dick Cbarlton, whu was obviously the person to handle this. A liuock on ^ bl8 door brought Diclt out, his boolt â- till in his hand. "Come quiclt. Charlton," said Macduff, "Joan Foster is dead. She Jumped into the pool. It was drain- ed, for laniiing tomorrow." For once in his life, words tumbl- ed from Macduff's lips without de- liberation. His eyes were bloodshot behind the impersonal glare of his â- pcctaclcs. Uicic went white and caught at his ariu. Without a word he followed Macduff across the cor- ridor and pa.ssed from brilliant light into tlie darliness of the pool. Briefly he hung over the edge, then covered his face with his hand. Macduff stretched out an arm and gripped him round the shoulders. '"It's all right, old man," he said, realizing that the girl had meant something in Charlton's life. "It would have been hell for her, had she lived." "She came to my room tonight. 1 shut the door in her face." The words were squeezed through the 'closed teeth of Dick. He pulled him- self together. He was the chief of- ficer. "I mu.st report at once to Cap- tain Baring," he said, automatical- 17. Once more Dick lookoil at Joan, whose pale booUy was moving very softly with llie rise and fall of the boat. Her rhlnestones shone like a cats' eyes through the green gloom.

Macduff went down tu his cabin, which was as austere as when he had sailed. Ho had spurned the spears of Borneo, the leopard skins of Darjeeling, the mandaiin robes of China, and was landing empty- handed. He turned on the lights, to shake off the feeling that he had been staring for hours into a dark- ened cave. The sea rolled smoothly under the porthole, but the night was black and moonless. With an effort he forced the dead girl out of his thoughts. In a few liours now he would be back in Gramercy Park and Angela would bo on her way to Kngland as he was reaching home. Would her heart stand the strain of her meeting with Wynant? And would the cad consider her health in his anxiety to shake her off, now that he had met a seventeen-year- old whom he wanted to marryV Strange, strange, strange, thought Macduff for the hundredth time, that a woman like Angela should love a man like Wynant! And Jen- ny wild about llumford, and wild enough to have squeezed herself out through the porthole for love of him. Macduff got up and examin- ed the brass ring. How in hell had she managed to do it? That was something he never would be able to understand. He'd see how far he could push himself through, and what the water was like from a porthole at night. Catching the rim, he pulled himself up by his arms. His head went out, and he saw the water below, smooth as black marble, but he could get no farther. Ills shoulders balked him at once. "Thin as she was," he thought, ''I still don't see how she did It. She must have had nerve, and also the strength of desperation." With a sharp reeoil he thought of Joan again, and wondered it her body were still being rocked on the tiles. He be.^an to undress, hanging liis tie on the rack, folding his trousers carefully, putting his coat on a hanger. Every move took time. At last he donned his striped pyja- mas and pulled down the covers of his brass bed. Climbing between tlie sheets, he lay on his side, think- ing and smoking. Tomorrow they would land. Damned nuisance, eus- lonis and all that bother! Angela wouldn't be there, but on her way lo Kngland. How strangely Joan's l)eads bad flashe ' iji the green light! The only thing about her that bad seemed alive. Macduff reached out for bis bottle, and then poured himself a wee doch-andor- rach. He downed it straight and put out the lights, but his pipe still glowed in the dark. Angela was an exceptional woni.in. She made him feel at limes Unit life was superb, and that he could write much bel- ter if she wer(! iilways near bini. Witliout any talk, she inspired a man lo effort. The glow of his pipe grew feebler. At last he banged it out on the waslistand, siglii'd and settled himself for sleep, lie could hear a grinding below that crunch- ing sound of tlie anchor ciiain be li.id heard so often lately, and al- ways for new ports, new scLMies, ni'W faces. The engines were in re- verse; the boat «as swinging light Mionnd. They must be at Qii;iran- line! That meiint home. They would lie there for the rest of Ihe iiiglil. Macduff lulled over to the w;ill. The lliiobbing ceased at last, uiid stillness descended on the slii|) lirolari by Ihe laughter and cries of Ihe last niglil revellers. Their viiircs, <lrowned before by ilie pounding sound of ihe boat in mo- lion, were slrangely strident now. The flying steps of excited girls could be heard along the coiTidors. ICvoiylhlng seemed extraoiiliiKirily cleiir, now that Ihe ship had anch- ored. .Macduff felt !is If he had just emerged from Ihe t!ave nf llie Winds. At last he fell aslei'p. Angela's name was on his lips wlien he wakened five hours later, looking as hard as a rock, sol)."r anil fresh. His first Ihoiigbt was, 'I'll soon be saying goodbye." Tl'.en he remembered Joan, with a catch of his breath, (ihaslly! He was sor- ry for Charllon. When his sleward canu! with his coffee, he cursed him because it was cold. Dressing him- self with care, he selected n dark green tie that .-Xngela had helped him to buy in Manila. He walked along tlio conidor and out on deck, to find that they were moving slow- ly up the bay in Ihe haze of the early inonilng. Thj sj^^e :^»d the water lePmelT deadly dull after the sharp contrasts of the tropics. And there was nothing to Ihe neutral landscape to excite the eye. nntil the skyaori'Tiers came Into tIpw. The pasApngem tlld not look like themselves this morning, for they were all togged out in their city clothes. The celebrants of the night before were slowly coining to life, feeling sick and depressed. Couples who would soon be parted huug to. gether at the rail, watching the en- croaching shore line with dismay. One youth was fumblingly trying to say good-bye to a girl whom he now adored. Soon he would be meeting his bride of a year, and their baby, born a mouth ago. His hand was plucking nervously at his compan- ion's coat. Their glances were tel- ling their story, but nobody cared. Angela was there â€" cool, composed in a black tailored costume and a small black hat. with a fur around her shoulders. Her face was drain- ed of colour. As usual, she had dreamed through the night of Jen- ny's face and her thin, pale hands clutching at that water. It dawned on Macduff' that none of them knew about Joan, not even Angela. He moved over towards her. (Concluded Next W'eek) Pleasant Voice Radiates Charm How You Say It Is Most Impor- tant â€" Reading Aloud Good Practice It's a mistake for any girl to work hard to improve her figure, hair, skin and her taste In clothes but ignore completely the fact that she has an Improperly placed, un- pleasant voice. Because, no mat- ter how attractive she is, unless her voice has a fairly soothing ef- fect on others, they just aren't go- ing to listen to her â€" not for long, anyway. Unless the cells in the lower part of the lungs are made to do their work, the voice will lack quality of tone. Proper Breathing Necessary Therefore, one good way to begin a voice-improvement campaign Is to do a breathing exercise regular- ly until you breathe correctly all of the time without thinking about it. Simply press your palms against your sides just above your waist- line. Now take a breath so deep that hands are forced wider apart. In other words try to expand your chest at the sides instead of In front. Exhale vigorously, pressing hands into your body as the air leaves your lungs. Do practice speaking slowly and enunciating correctly. Just read aloud tor 15 minutes every day. Go lo your room, close the door, then read. Listen lo yourself and try to decide whether yoti have a habit of raising your voice at the end of every sentence or just what you do that probably annoys others.

Let It taelp YUUl Most Northerly White Wedding In Dominion Picturesque Ceremony at Arctic Bay, Hudson's Bay Company Post. Probably the most northerly white wedding ever celebrated in the Dominion, took place at Arctic Bay on the northern shores of Baf- fin Island last week, when Allan Robertson Scott, Hudson's Bay Company post manager married Eileen Christina Wallace. The bridegroom was formerly of Forgue, Scotland, and the hride Is the daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Wallace of Peterhead, Scotland. The ceremony was held In the sa- loon of the Government supply ship Nascopie, now on its annual Arc- tic tour. Flowers, Arctic Poppies Flags and Arctic poppies, picked by Eskimo children, decorated the saloon. The ceremony was per- formed by Rev. A. Fleming, Angli- can bishop of the Arctic. Passengers of the Nascopie, ships officers and six red coated Royal Canadian Mounted Police attended the wedding for which the bride travelled more than 7,000 miles. The wedding was held about 4UU miles north of the Arctic Circle and 1,100 miles from the North Pole. Canada's First Woman Pilot Mr: Daphne Shelfoon of Ham- ilton, Ontario, Passes All Tests of Civil Aviation Mrs. Daphne Shelfoon, member of the Hamilton Aero Club, is be- lieved to be the first woman in Canada to qualify for a public transport airplane pilot's certifi- cate. It was announced she had passed successfully all tests of the department of civil aviation and that she shortly would receive her certificate. Possession of the certificate will entitle Mrs. Shelfoon to pilot passenger planes, but she said she does not expect to take over the controls of an air liner. Her hus- band is one of 73 Canadians hold- ing a transport pilot's license and the couple is believed to be the first in Canada to receive such a certificate. Native of New Brunswick, Mrs. Shelfoon went to Hamilton a few months ago. To qualify for the license she had to fly "blind" over a cross-country course, with only instruments to guide her. Last July 1 Mrs. Shelfoon escaped death when a plane in which she was riding was struck in mid-air by a plane piloted by Homer Chappie, killed in the accident. ^^jp PREMIUM and I SODA FRESHl CRACKERS as you like them best Chrisdies Biscuits y/iere's a Christie Biscuit for every taste" Daytime Dresses For Fall Stress Youthful Lines Skirts Are Short, Necklines High â€" Plenty of Styles To Choose From NEW YORK.â€" New fall daytime dresses dramatize natural feminine curves and are, for the most part, essentially youthful. Daytime skirts are quite short (14 to 16 inches from the floor, de- pending on the shap:' of your legs). The majority are liared, although straight, slim versions and those with spaced pleats are featured, too. Bodices are fitted tr accentu- ate the bosom, make the waistline tiny and hips slim.

Chocolate lontains a cunsideralile amount of starch as well as cocoa butter and it cannot be added successfully to a plain cake recipe without chang- ing the amounts of some of the other ingredients. Cocoa should never be substituted in any recipe whitb calls for chocolate because chocolate is so much richer in cocoa butler than cocoa, it inakes a richer, more tender cake and one which remains moist longer. For the best results, the ingred- ients s|)ecifiod In each recipe should bo used. S20p For Any Old or Lantern!

College Clothes Remain Simple Sweaters and Skirts Are Still The Most Popular A Boston story held a ''college clinic" recently and obtained some surprising information. After a tea party, lovely clothes were brought out â€" with not a twinkle of inter- est. The guests admitted, in a body, that sweaters and skirts were all they wanted. Cardigans and pull- overs might be of different shades, several skirts are essential, but with the exception of ''gadgets" to enliven the outfit, it was a uniform that they had no desire to change. "Gadgets" include costume jewelry, charm bracelets, tricky lapel orna- ments and scarves. Sensible Slippers Lounging pyjamas might as well not be packed for these students who study in flannel robes, zipper- ed down in the front. Nor should you send your daughter off with cunning mules, ostrich?betrimmed. They all wear flat-heeled, soft slip- pers. College rules demand quiet in the dormitories. As far as lingerie goes they want pyjamas copied from their brothers, a few holding out for nighties.
