^' = Siuality Is Superb WJM TEA ^â- Â£ti»A. ^* ..^LEBBEUS MITCHELL SYNOPSIS Charles Edward Chipping, a mattrr at Brookfield School for 20 year», hai never been able to make friends with the boys due to having fallen out with them early in his first term. The Ger- man master persuades him to ac- company him on a walking (our of the Tyrol one summer. He is caught in a mist on the mountain and in the fog climbs up to "res- cue" an English girl, Kathie Ellis. They are both greatly attracted to each other and meet again in Vienna where Kathie persuades him to dance with her. CHAPTER Vll "You Kissed Me!" DanciiiK "ith Kathie did .-iiriinge ihinf^s to Cliippinp: his heart beat faster than it had for ajjes; a feeling of contentment, of happi- ness, flowed through hi.s veins; even hi.s muscles, unaccustomed to the movements of the dance, lim- bered; almost it was as if he were Moating about in the mists of a mountain top â€" alone with Kathie. "Like it?" he asked, with a tentative smile of tondci'ness. "Love it!" ".A.s much as you hoped '.V' ".And more. You're doing splendidly." Many eyes followed thcni about the ballroom, for Katherino Ellis was a strikingly beautiful girl, and Chipping cut a fine (i;<ure in hLs rented evening clothes, for he had never put on excess weight and he was half a head taller than Kathie. ."Ma.x and Flora turn- ed amazed eyes upon them every time they whirled past. "Kvening dress is very becom- ing to you, .Mr. Chipping," Kathie said. He pieened a little at the com- pliment. "You approve?" "Jleartily." "Then I suppose I shall liavc to buy it." A.S time went on the da^nccrs thinned, but Cliipj)ing wu.s on the Hoor with Kathie for every num- ber. The last waltz, .Strauss's Ur^amy, half melancholy "Wiener-' blut," was drawing towards its end. Their faces had become graver, and they wei'e silent. "A Penny For Your Thoughts" Chipping looked down at the face so close to him, at the long, curved eyelashes.

(;hipi)ing and Ma.\ were at the station to see Kathie and Flora off for their return to Landon. In the bustle and confu.sion of the platform, Chipping and Xathie had paired off, and approached her comi)artment, tense and self-con- sciou.s, liiding their feelings in the stiff commonplaces of an Kng- lish farewell. "1 â€" er â€" do hope you have a comfortable journey," said Chip- ping. "I hope so, too." "What time do you get to Ixm- don? . . . Oh, I asked you that be- fore, didn't 1?" "Yes .. . Lsn't saying goodbye awful?" "K â€" yes, it's awful." "You know what I mean, it's so . . . " "It is, very. l{ather a crowded train, i.sn't it?" Kathie laughed. "You said that before, too!" "Did r? It's saying goodbye, you know." "I know. It's awful." •'.Miss Kathie ..." "Yes'."' "1 wanted to say something )) The toot of a horn, and the con- ductor calling: "Kitte, Platze neh- man!" brought him to a stop. "Oh, deal-, it's time for you to get aboard!" The Most Wonderful Holiday .Max and Flora overtook them. "Conic along, Kathie," called Flo- ra. "Goodbye, .Mr. Chipping." They shook hands uU around. Kathie stood still, looking up at Chipping. "Can't you remember?" "1 wanted to .say that you've made this the most wonderful holiday of my life, and â€" " Again the horn tooled, and the voices of iMax and Flora called from the compartment: "Kathie!" "Miss Kathie!" "Yon must go," said ('hipping forlornly. "(Joodbye, Miss Kathie." Kathie took his hand. "Good- bye .Mr. Chips!" She had invented :i nickname for him. A sudden warmth of ten- derness, and ache of loneliness to come, swept over Chips. .And then, suddenly, Kathie arose on her tiptoes and kissed him lightly on the lips, turned and jumped ha.stily into the train. Chips stood in an utter daze of amazement and delight, unable to believe his senses. A woman, an adorable, beautiful young woman, had kissed him â€" Chips, the old bachelor schoolmaster! 'J'lien a whistle shrieked and the train began to move and Max jum|)ed down to the platform, ('hips awoke from his daze. "Miss Kathie! Kathie" he cried and ran after the moving train. Kalliie's fac(! appeared at the window of her compartment. He ran, laiil his hand on the sill, and. Iocs Not Harm the Heart â- 'i'.

Look here," he cried, his sense of humor com- ing to hi.s aid; "You'll have to marry me now, you know I" -And then suddenly Kathie smil- ed with tears in her eyes. "Do you want to?"

He canii' to a standstill, staring after Kathie's window, .stark trag- edy on his face. .And then Max Staefel laid u hand on his arm. Chips turned to him. "She's tr-.-ne! I don't know where she's gone ! 1 may never see her again !" "1 should not worry, Chipping," said Max comfoitingly. "Miss Flora has selected the church al- ready â€" and I am to be best man." -At Chip's bewildered look. Max laughed with amused, affectionate sympathy. "My good fellow, do you imaRine that we were both blind and deaf? Come along. We are going to open a bottle of cham- pagne at the first cafe that we come to!" In the masters' common room at Brooktield, the instructors had gathered about Raven at his sud- den shout. He looked up from the newspaper he had been read- ing. "Just listen to this item, will you? 'Chipping-Ellis â€" On Sept. 22, at St. James's Church, Blooms- bury, Katherine Mary, only daugh- ter of the late Henry Forbes El- lis, to Charles Edward Chipping of Brookfield School!" There was a buzz of amazed comment. "What, old Chipping!" "It can't be !" "Must be some mis- take!" "It's fanta.stic !" "Here's Staefel now," said Ra- ven. "He ought to know. .Staefel, you sly dog, did you know about this?" He waved the newspaper. "Of course I know. They met in a fog." "What? In London?" asked Mc('ulloch. "No, no! In .Austria â€" a moun- tain mist !" "Some mist!" laughed Hilders- ley, smiling at his fellow masters. "I've got it!" cried Raven. "He proposed to the lady before the I'og had cleared! Bright old Chip- ping! ... 1 suppose she's elderly, .Staefel?" "Well," Jlax appeared to con- sider, "I would hardly call her that." The Bride Enters "Is she in the .scholastic line?" Max, after hesitating, replied: "Yes." "I thought so! Plain as a pos.t, 1 suppose?" "My dear fellow, i)lease!" bog- ged Max. "She i.s Chipping's choice." "Is it as bad as that?" asked Mildersley in dismay. ".\o, no!" exclaimed Max eager- ly. "Do I give a wrong impres- sion? She is a good creature. Her nose is perhaps a little red â€" " "Good Gad!" cried McCulloch. "Does she drink?" "No, no â€" it's only indigestion. She--" Unveil jnniiied to his feet. "I'm ofl'!" ".No, please," said Staefel. "I told Chipping to bring her in to meet you this afternoon. They will be here any minute. You inu.st be kind to her for ('hipjiing's sake!" "He's brin;;ing her here!" Mas- ters, who had remained silent dur- ing llu! clamour, got U|), his eyes staring at Max as though they mfght pop out. "He might at lea.st have had the good sense to keep the woman to himself!" said Hildersley. "Women aren't allowed in this room in »nv case!" said Mct^ul- loch. "Hush!" warnec' .Max. "I hear them coming!" "This is a nice start for the new term!" said Raven gloomily. The door opened, and Chips ap- peared shyly ill it and stood hesi- tating. (To l!e Continued) Should Brush Hard For Sound Teeth The soft, highly-relined food we i-at is one of the main reasons for the necessity of regular tooth- iltfaiiing. Sweet, sticky, starch; foods cling rounil the teeth; hard, librou.i ones do not. Urushing re- moves stiny particles and gives the gums the regular ma.ssage they re- <iuire, but the bristles .if the toothhrii.-ih should be only com- fortably slilT, in other words, it is better to brush hard with u soft- isl brush than to s'cimp your bru.shing becauft* a hard brush ' urta you. £ L:IH J S By BADIE B. CHAMBERS CHRISTMAS CAKES With the late .Autumn days and their delightful crisp air, there is wafted to us in the breezes the suggestion that Christmas is just aroi:iid the* Corner. (Jne of the first things to be decided in this early preparation is the making of the Christmas cake. To those int- erested in the culinary art falls the decision of the recipe for this tra- ditional cake. To help solve your problems I am otTcring to you three recipes. The first is (luite a rich cake originating in England. It has been many times tested and is quite the favorite. The second one is for the light fruit cake and to those who have found trouble with this type of cake becoming dry, I recommend trying the ad- dition of the syrup. I am sure you will be very enthusiastic about the discovery. The last recipe is also very old, but very reliable and does fill the requirement for those who wish a cheaper and simpler cake and one which must be made within a week or so before the holiday season.

Pack Soldiers' Gifts Carefully Mrs. Vincent Massey Reminds Of Penetrating Perfume of Soap in Parcels Mrs. Vincent .Massey, wife of (he Canadian high commissiouer, to London, tells a story of a parcel of candies sent to a Canadian sol- dier during the last war. A ci^te of soap was carefully packed in the same box and penetrated the candies so much that even boiling them didn't remove the t.isie of soap Bottled Fruit Always Welcome Mrs. Massey added that might- be take^n as a word of warning to those intending to send similar packages 10 friends over here, not to include soap in the same par- eel. She also suggested it would be a good idea for Canadian wouien when bottling fruit this tall to do an extra half-dozen or so.
