MOTORISTS AND HEDGE ROWS

English hedge rows form one Of the charac-
teristic beauties of English country, and here
is a cool proposal that they should all be
Topped down to a minimum level in order that
motor car drivers who insist on going at a
dangerous pace should be able to see each
other better! We should not advise motor car
owners in their own interests, to commence
any such attempt. If they do they will raise

ably rather astonish them.-Bulder.

How envy you! Yes, you are right.
Get away from this country, where
the only Incentive to work is dollars.
Go where there are still some ideals,
where you can breathe the atmos-
phere of culture and art"
Forgetting momentarily her own
troubles. Shirley chatted on about life
in the art centres of Europe, advised
Jefferson where to go, with whom to
study. She knew people in Paris, Rome
and Munich and she would give him
letters to them. Only, il he wanted to
perfect himself in the languages, he
ought to avoid Americans and cultivate
the natives. Then, who could tell? if
he worked hard and was lucky, he
might have something exhibited at the
Salon and return to America a famous
painter.
"If / do" smiled Jefferson, "you
shall be The first to congratulate me.
shall come and ask you to be my
wife. May I?' he added.
Shirley smiled gravely.
Get famous first. You may not
want me then"
II shall always want YOU" he whis-
pered hoarsely, bending over her In
the dim light of the porch he saw that
her rear-stained face was drawn and
pale. He rose and held out his hand.
Goodbye" he said simply.
Goodbye. Jefferson" She rose and
put her hand in his. Eve shall always
be friends. |. too, am going away"
"You going away-where TOT" he
asked surprised.
II have work to do in connection
with my fathers case" she said.
"You?" said Jefferson puzzled. "You
have work to do what work?"
II can't say what it is, Jefferson
There are good reasons why can't
You must take my word for it that it
| is urgent and important work" Then
she added: "You go your way, Jeffer
son; will go mine. 1t was not our
destiny to belong to each other. You
will become famous as an artist. And
T."
| "And you" echoed Jefferson.
| I'll shall devote my life to my
father. It's no use Jefferson really
I've thought it all out. You must not
come back to me- you understand
We must be alone with our grief

Goodbye, Shirley. Don't forget me
