side of things. though the governing
motive is still one of conservation and
a fixed disposition to pick the way

good features and fine teeth. It was
not a doll face, but the face of a
woman who had experienced early the
hard knocks of the world. VET in
whom adversely had not succeeded in
wholly suhduing a naturally 5uovant
amiable disposition. There was de-
termination in the lines above her
mouth. 1t was face full of character
the face of a woman who by sheer
dint OF dogged perseverance might ac-
complish any task she cared to set
herself. A smile of welcome cleaned
in her eyes as she inquired eagerly:
Well. dear. anything doing?"

perhaps lay her chief charm. As
Howard stopped to kiss her. she said
reproachfuIly:

The young man made no reply.
With an impatient gesture he passed
on into the fiat and flung himself
down in chair in the dining room.
From the adjoining kitchen came a
welcome odor of cooking.
Dinner ready?" he. demanded. I'm
devilish hungry"
Yes, dear, just a minute" replied
his wife from the kitchen. There's

Practically all the important In
irmaries and hospitals in England
have their own electric generating
stations, and the size of the tnstaIla,
tions would surprise the majority OF
engineers, The equipment has to be
designed with unusual care. owing to
the special conditions which prevail
in hospital work. Even where a pub
lie supply is available. the use of an
independent system is justified on &C
count of the security which 1t gives
against failure Of current at a critical
moment. The installations are used
for lighting. heating. ventilating. tele-
phouing and other purposes. and
many hospitals have laundries op-
Grated electrically One county asylum
has its own private electric railway
for conveying supplies from the near,
est railway station.
