To this effect may urge on all those

Cedric Shaw was intently watch
ing the girl across the room. Some
times the swaying dancers in the hO-
tel ballroom came between him and
her; but always his gaze went back
peTsistently to the bright, animated
face Of the young woman who stood
talking with an elderly lady. The
first thing that had attracted him
was the absence of the painted lips
and cheeks, which he saw on almost
all Of the young girls present. Next
to take his attention was the pretty
dancing gown, which unlike the 9TH
eTs covered her back and came above
the shoulders and around in a be-
coming line.
The young man could not have
been called ''straight-laced" or old
fashioned, but a certain fine respect
for wOmanhOOd, which had been
carefully instiIled in him by his
mother, felt a kind of repUlsiOn at
the aTtifcially covered faces and the
too scantIy covered forms of the
girls he met in society everywhere.
He felt that this girl must be differ
ent, and as he watched her face his
conviction grew. He determined to
know her and started out to see if
he could find some one to introduce
him.
Finally he accomplished his OBJ
iect and soon found himself guiding
Miss Burt through the mazes of the
dancers. Yes, decidedly Miss Burt
was different. It was not long be-
fore Shaw's heart began to give curl

condition.

qualm at receiving the stranger in
her humble quarters. He seemed to
her like a man used to good society,
one used to mingling with cultured
people in refined surroundings. In
this suppOsitiOn she was right. The

When the European war broke out,

that Knights who were insured in

in the struggle would be able to col

made because many Canadian men,
