She has lost servants In the draft; her daughter, Patricia, has married Sergeant Michael Fitz- patrick against her mother's wishes: her son, Ted, has been shunted into active service by El- liott Fulton, oldest and closest friend of the family and even her closest friend, Cecilia Talbot, has deserted Mrs. Hadley to do war work.

"Now why doe? she need a cake this si/t- for just her and Dr. Meet lima ii '." *\w, grumpcd. "I call it d(iwiirii;li[ wasteful." "Mrs. Hndlev is determined ev- erything should be just as It al- ways was," Rennet t said disapprov- ingly. "It's ii>ooky, that's what it is," said the cook. "As I recall tlie old days," Ben- nett reminded her coldly, "you were constantly complaining." "What's fating him?" Millie In- quired as Bennett left the ser- Tant's quartern to answer a bull. "The old faker he misses the old limes more than either of us but he'd be caught dead In-fore he'd let on." In her bedroom, Stella Hadley was reading a telegram. "Con- gratulations on Ted's birthday. We wish we could be. with you. Love," the telegram read. It was signed "I'at asi.l Mike." Henm-ti announced Dr. Meoeh- sjn. Sti-lla lose wearily, went out Into the hall. As she passed the telephone, Dennett, put his hand over HIP rere ivt-r. "Who is it, Bennett?" she asked the butler. "MiHs (Vi-ilia Tiilbot, Madam," Bennett said almost pleadingly. "She - -)! wants to congratulate you." Stella hesitated but a moment. "Tell her I in not in," she said firmly after the slight delibera- tion. Stella greeted Dr. Meet-ham in the driiwiiiK room. "Any word from the birthda? boy?" be asked with forced jovial- ity. "Yes. I had a letter from him yesterday," "Splendid! How Is he?" "Be says h*'g well." Bennett appeared carrying n telephone on an extension wire. "There's a fall for you, Dr. M*echam." he Haiti, handing the phone to (he doctor. "Hello. Yes. Ml be right over," said the doctor. He hung; up and looked apologetically at Mrs. Had- ley. "I'm sorry, Stella, I'll have to JPO." "Can't you even stay for lunch- eon ?" "I'm afraid not.

She read and re-read the letter from Ted. Particularly that para- graph which read: "Tony Winters is In our company. I know how you Nil about his mother, but Tony's a real gent I beg pardon gentleman and we've become great friends. In fact, knowing him has been the swellest thing that's happened to me in the Army." Her eyes wandered to the clos- ing paragraph: "Don't worry about me, I'm in the pink. The only thing that bothers me is the thought that you may be lonely." A few mornings later, Bennett answered a ring to find a ' mes- senger boy at the door. "Telegram for Mrs. Nathaueal Hadley," the boy said, holding out a pad to be signed. "Here's your fliaji.'r," he added, picking up a paper and handing it to the butler. As Bennett went to a side, table to pick up a silver tray for the telegram, he opened the paper. Sud- denly, his eyes opened wide with excitement. He dropped the tele- gram on the table, grabbed the paper and hurried toward the liv- ing room. "Mrs. Hadley! Mrs. Hadley I" he cried excitedly as he threw open the door of the living room. "Mrs. Hadley, It's Mr. Theodore! He's a hero! It says so in the paper!" * * He handed her the paper. She tried to look at it, but her hands were shaking with excilome.nt and her eyes refused to focus. "I I'm so nervous I can't," she admitted. "Read it to me, Ben- nett." " 'Washington boy cited for hero- ism!' " he read. "Theodore. Had- ley receives D.S.C.' That's (he Distinguished Service f'ross," he added proudly. "Yes, Yes. 1 know. t;o on! Is he all right?" "'Corporal Theodore Hadley was cited for conspicuous bravery un- der fire in an official ( ommiinlque Just received. Hailley, according to the dispatch, had been Instructed to seek out. the local inn of an enemy machine gun emplacement After tin- other four men in his unit had been shot down by Jap snipers, Corporal Hadley continued alone, locating the machine gun nest and wiping it out with a hand grenade, killing fifteen Jap soldiers. He returned unharmed to his com- pany. Corporal Hadley is the soil of the late Nathaueal Hadley, onto owner of the Washington Chronicle, and of Mrs. Hadley, the former Stella Livingston.' " "Hinnett, I want you to go out and get all the papers," Mrs. Had- ley instructed excitedly. "Right away." "Even - even the; Wa^hingln Chronicle?" askexl the lunler. wor- riedly. "I want them all," Mrs. Hailley said impatiently. "Hurry." In the nbHt-nce of Rennet!, who was buying up all lln- newspapers available, Millie answered Mrs. Kitz- patrlck'K ring at the ilonr. Mrs. Hadley rame Into the hall as the caller was identifying herself. For a moment she did not sen Mrs. Fitzpatrick. "How are you?" asked Michael's mother in a friendy tone. "Won't you come in?" Stflla invited her hesitantly. They entered the living room. "I suppose you've read the good news?" asked Mrs. Fitzpalrick hap- pily. "Yes I've Just read it in the papers." "In the paper, I B it?" Mrs. Fitz- patrick exclaimed, horrified. "Is nothing sacred to those gossip- mongers?" "I'm afraid I don't understand," Ste.plla replied In bewilderment. "I was speaking of my son." "Young Tedd? What's happened to him?" "He's been awarded the D.S.C.," Stella said with pride. "That's the Distinguished Service Cross." "It's proud you should be having a hero for a son. Think of the flue stories we'll be able to tell our grandchild about his uncle." "Grandchild?" exclaimed Stella.

"No, not a word," Stella admitted bitterly. "That isn't like Pat. No matter what may have happened between you, it's still your grandchild she's bearing." "When when did you hear?" Mrs. Hadley asked hesitantly. "Just a short while back. I drop- ped everything to come over and compare notes with you on how it felt to become a grandmother." "I'm afraid I can't tell," said Stella coldly, "not having been in- formed officially." As Mrs. Fitzgerald was looking at her sympathetically, lienuett appeared at the door. "I beg yur pardon, Mrs. Hadley," he apoloziged. "In the excitement about Mr. Theodore I forgot to give you this telegram." "I knew it!" exclaimed Mrs. Fitz- pat.rlck Jubilantly. Stella tore open the telegram with trembling- fingei'8. "You are going to be a firandmother in Octo- ber," she read. "We love you and miss you very much. Pat and Mike." "I do hope Paticia will take care of herself," Stella worried. "If he doesn't, my Michael will beat the living daylights out of her," Mrs. Fitzpatrick promised Just as Bennett entered the room In a state of great consternation. "Madam, it's the reporters," be reported almost beathlessly. "Reporters?" "Yes. Mi's. Hadley six of them. They insist upon seeing you about Mr. Theodore." "I have nothing to say to them." "Of course you have," interrupt- ed Mrs. Fitzpatrick. Bennett stopped at the door. Mrs. Hadley seemed amazed. "You're forgetting you're the mother of a hero," Mrs. Fitzpatrick reminded her. "I don't see how my private life is any concern of the press." "There's a war going ou, Mrs. Hadley," Mrs. Kitzp:,trick reminded her, "and there's hundreds of thou- Hands of wives and mothers need- Ing all the courage they can get.

"Come in, boys!" she called. Before Stella could utter a word of protest, into the room came live male reporters and a photog- ftpher. Mrs. Kitzpatrick pointed to Stella. The reporter* surrounded Mrs. Hadley and started liring questions, tumbling them together. Stella HiiK'lied under the assault. "Wait a minute," Mrs. Kitzpatrick bellowrd.

Bixby's Dilemma Case Histories of a Number Of Large Advertisers I>oes it pay a manufacturer or distributor to keep the name of his product before the public when demand exceeds supply? The answer as set out lit Bix- by's Dilemma, a brochure released currently by the K. 13. Eddy Com- pany. Hull, Quebec, is very def- initely VES. Blxby is a go-getter who starts a business on a shoe sir ug and by personal effort the production of a good product and with the aid ol advertising rapidly builds up a business vastly larger than any of his competitors and finally reaches the stupendous total of $2, 000,000 in sales annually. The public is always clamoring for more and yet more llixby Pro- ducts. The end Is not in sight when the world goes to war and the demand is so great for Bixby IVo- dusts that though production is doubled and trebled it is so much greater than supply that the as- tute Mr. Bixby decides to cut down on advertising. He does tills little thing, compliments his bus- iness acumen by the important savings effected and sits back as it were to take stock in increasing dividends. As In all good stories there conies an end the war is victor- iously won and a shattered world staggers back into a peace time groove. Business for a period re- mains good but in the end col- lapses. Bixby in alarm reorganizes his sales force, makes new adver- tising connections but learns too late that the market so carefully wooed and won has been lost for- ever. The case of Bixby's Dilemma prepared and released by the ad- vertising department of the E. B. Eddy Company Is quite elaborate. It is illustrated by Gluyas Wil- liams, well known cartoonist, and as a sample of modern typography Is a work of art, In a pocket at the back of the book the rulings of the Federal Government on bud- getging advertising is effectively Included. Copies will be mailed ad- vertisers on request. No advertiser should fail to read and digest the lessons of this summary of the experience of many advertisers who failed to learn the lesson' un- til too late. Canadians Serve On All Seven Seas Speaking officially at the open- ing of the Canadian Naval War Exhibition in Toronto the other day, tile Hon. Angus L. Macdouald, Navy Minister, said that Canadian sailors undergo terrible hardships, are beset by dangers from above and below, are fighting the enemy and the weather simultaneously. He termed the sailors of the Em- pire "as deserving and valiant a breed as ever engaged in a noble task." It was on behalf of these men shortly after Trafalgar that a few business men in Old London creat- ed the atmosphere that made it possible and desirable to launch the British Sailors' Society an organization that will within a few weeks celebrate its 125 natal day, and which has, without a break, operated for the Men of the Sea. Through all these years the Soc- iety has moved with the times and has built up a world-wide chain of service, by which (to use the words of His Majesty the King when Duke of York) "it touches the Sailor at every point of his life. It trains him. houses him, gives him recreation, tends him in his old age and helps his depend- ents. In short, it labours cease- lessly and devotedly for all that magnificent body of men upon whom the prosperity of the Bri- tish Empire so largely depends." Hostels round the coasts of the British Isles and away in the ports of the seven seas have been es- tablished over 100 hostels, sta- tions and agencies through which the sailor is served in the man- ner described by His Majesty. It is to our hostels that many survivors of sea tragedies are brought and ft is in our hostels that they find comfort, entertain- ment and hospitality while ar- rangements are made for them to be re-clothed and sent to their homes, or, in the case of Allied or Foreign seamen, to be handed Into the care of their own repre- sentatives. The Hon. Angus L. Macdouald, In honouring this the oldest Sailor Society In the world by accepting the Dominion Vice-Presidency, said: "1 am very pleased, indeed, to accept this honour and to assoc- iate myself iu some small measure with the excellent work which the British Sailors' Society is doing in all parts of the World at this time. "Perhaps never before has the lot of British sailors been a more difficult and arduous one, and the good work of the Society on their behalf so vitally necessary and so much appreciated."
