KEEPS PERSONAL TOUCH
Indeed this Il was that made
an unqualified triumph Of her
project For, unlike the situation
in so many Of our preSent-day
ventures. she didn't let the per-
Sonal and the sympathetic die out
of IL in proportion as achievement
expanded. Her venture organ

but she saw 70 IL that the apple
pies and the biscuits did not lose
their individual palatal appeal.
She insisted she must have only
the freshest OF eggs for her girl
boarders. and sunlight in every
room. with preferably a window
view. As a result, they came TO
her from all over the United
while they pursued their
studies in art and literature and
other active subjects. Talented
men came, too. with the result
that the place got celebrated, not
only in this country but abroad.
Justine Ellwood was especially
dear 10 the old Scottish woman
because she was so kind 10 her
father. who came on East with
her. while she studied designing
Mother MacNish saw that Justine
had a room with Just the right
kind Of light in il. and the proper
amount and quality OF bread and
meat and potatoes. as well as that
the old father had comfort, too.
In return for such human serv-
ice, Justine helped the old woman
in suggestions for identifying her
hotel When il was redecorated.
the girl suggested she put tapes
tries on the wall spaces, which
were paneled off like huge frames.
And YOU know so many paintings
are good. even II not done by cele-
brated artists. I'll select one or
two II you would like"
"Oh, l wish you would" the
old woman sighed. in relief.

commented "to help make a
place that has some Of the per-
sonal elements. of a home for me
and any family ! might leave.
You know what frightened me
about this town IL It's 10 heart

"Oh. not any hotel Of mine"
the old woman protested. IF
YOU work for the personal and
the spiritual. the business side
IN sure to succeed. That's what
i have in mind. To make a place
for all the girls and the children
of my girls who will come after
me-"
In the midst of her growing
world recognition and with so
much 10 live for, this old woman
died. And her eldest son, having
his youth punctuated with dish
washing, avoided the business with
an adherence which did not in
terfere with its getting organized
into a project which Is hotels

cellence of the apple pies and the
biscuits diminished a little. but
were adequately compensated for
by the newly developed cooling
system and the gay bar.

she would have had do il over, but
to Miss Selma she made no crltl-

was SO absorbing and here was
some one with whom 10 talk about

see her often and always no doubt
a little late. She even brought
her work a little better in char
acter and Miss Selma did IL little
worse. Instead Of the interna-
tional situation. she talked about
how handsomely she was getting

GOES on VACATION
Justine went on a vacation and
they gave the foreigner her room,
which she never did get back, but
for only 81 more A week, they
gave her another, and gradually
the SeamstresS fixed hers up 10 be
so homclike that Justine appre-
ciated the privilege Of sitting IN It
although she would have liked
TO have IT, indeed.
In the Summer work must have

begged Justine to bring any little

Jobs she might have. That coat
she had fixed had never been right.
Justine brought IL once again. But
evidently il was still too small a
task 10 warrant trying on. This
time when finished. the skirt was
too short and the sleeves too long.
But, oh. a button was sewed on
so magnificently in Just the right
place at the neCkline. For the
first time in years, Justine was
comfortable at the throat and free
from cold.
But il came off. Never before
had she known such comfort! She
would get her 10 sew it on again
right away. She asked her. Yes.
In ID minutes, when she came
back she would do so. Later JUS
tine knocked at her door. She
opened it a little. No. she would
not do it. She had said TO come
in Is minutes. Now it was half
an hour. Justine was disappointed,
but laughingly turned away. For
days her coat was open at the
throat. And then the button also
came off at the waistllne. One
evening Miss Selma passed as JUS
tine sat in the foyer She asked
her if she would not sew both but
tons on.

She turned towards her son and
smiled. Hello, and how is the
army?" She spotted his wings. "Con-
gratulations! When did you get
down, and how"
Philip enveloped the slight, gray
haired woman his bear-like embrace
and kissed her. "a few minutes ago

The stiffening of the mothers body,
the crisping of her hands, as the
meaning of these words came home to
her; were imperceptible; and her face,
thin and slightly faded but still bear
ing traces of beauty, remained calm
and without expression to show that
inwardly she was suffering.

was no catch in her voice to give
away her emotion. proud that you

greatest difficulty that she hid her
feelings. "Dear God, please, no." she
said to herself. David seemed so
young and brave, so alive. 1t was not
possible that he should die. But then

"Then I give up. Pm poor at

Wendy found it difficult to be cas-

wering lightly, "David Hutchinson"
What was this madness? Philip
took a sidelong glance at his sister.

the squadron at once. Chap shot

take his place."
There was a CLINT of pride in the
elder mans eyes as he listened to
what his son was saying. There was
no doubt about it, the boy had the
stuff. Chip off the old block, Lord
Harrowsdale thought, but did not ex-
press this opinion aloud. He had
fought in the World War from 1914
until he was so badly wounded in
1918, and now he would fight this
one through his offspring and heir.
Rarely had a generation of the fam
lily failed to offer their blood for
King and Country. His father had
been twice wounded in the Boer
War, and his grandfather had served
as young officer in the Crimea,
and so back into history. And now
the boy was going off to fight in the
gallant cause of liberty against the
unspeakable Adolf Hitler.
"Give them my compliments" the
father said, referring to the Germans.
"My very best compliments, punctua-
ted with a few rounds Of machine
gun bullets. Good luck and God
bless you'll"
'Thank you, father"
Philip drove the two-seater around
to the front of the house to where
Wendy was still chopping at the golf
ball. She saw him coming and walk
ed over to the car. "I'll go to the sta
tion with you and bring the car
back"
"Good grill" She jumped in beside
him and they started off.
"Phil," she said, before they had
gone very far.
eyes, my love-" There was some
thing in his sisters voice, certain
anxiety to which he was not accus-
toned, that made him cast a side
long glance at her lovely, serious
face.
"Will you do something for me 2"
Anything that is humanity pos
sible, my sweet"
"Will you try and get a telephone
call through to me as soon as you
know who was killed this morning 2"
"Can't mention names over the
phone, you know. Strictly against
orders"
"You won't have to, Phil. 1 want
to know if is was David Hutchinson.
Just say 1T was or 1T wasn't You
can, can't you?"
"That's sort of getting around it,
you know, old girl. But for you
yes"
Wendy put her hand on his knee

and squeezed it, conveying her CRATE
fulness without speaking. "I'll be
waiting" she said in a low voice.
The train was pulling in when
Wendy and Philip arrived. The sta
ton platform was very animated, sew
eral groups of soldiers, surrounded
by friends and families, standing a
bout with full kits, waiting to return
to their regiments. Most of the peo-
pie chatted gaily and made jokes.
England was certainly not down.

AS the young R. A. F. officer pass
ed amongst them, the soldiers salut-
ed stiffly, and he returned their sa-
lutes. The train was also crowded
with military men, khaki-clad figures
standing at every window, smiling
and waving and shouting. "Thumbs
up for England! Thumbs up!"
Women canteen workers were pass
ing briskly up and down, distributing
tobacco, cigarettes, tea, biscuits and
chocolate bars. Any one witnessing
this scene, the same which was being
enacted daily in thousands of other
places throughout the land, felt in
stinctively that no power, however
strong, would ever crush the spirit
of the British Empire.
Philip found seat in first-class
coach with some other officers, two
of whom were also aviators and old
friends of his. Wendy waited on the
platform, walking up and down,
watching the scene about her, until
the train left. There were no fearful
farewells, even from mothers or wives
or sweethearts, but only gay good
byes. Even last minute advice was
on the humorous said. "Don't come
back", an old man yelled to his son,
without Herr Hitler's moustache in
your pocket" This brought laughter
and more jokes. Then there was
much handkerchief waving and shout
ing until the train swung around a
corner and was lost to sight.

PRINCESS ANNE'S NEW

ceremonies at. the school auditorium
on Friday evening of last week.
The school was burned after being
struck by lightning in July, 1888; the
rebuilding, as WPA assisted pro-

Harrowsdale went back to her
peonies and continued to plant.
The old gentleman was in the
stables, watching groom rub down
his favorite bay hunter, Pucka Boy,
on which he had just returned from
hard ride across the meadows. He
was a handsome man, much taller
than Philip, with iron gray hair and
a well-cared-for mustache. His bear
ing was military, and he looked par
tcularly well in his riding clothes.
Despite his other occupations, he
found time for his daily rides across
country, believing that it was neces-
sary for morale to keep up the old
customs and pastimes as much as pos
sible. "God!" he would say to the
country people, with whom he often
stopped and chatted. Hitler and all
his murderers can't stop my morning

Had the strain been too much? Were
her nerves cracking? Of course, she
had seen some of the worst bombings
in the Midlands thus far, but the
family prided itself on the fact that
Bruces never cracked. Yet what was
she saying could be interpreted as
nothing short of madness.
David Hutchinson on the golf links!
Ridiculous! He, Philip Bruce, knew
that David was active with the squad
ron, was even now on duty. He fol-
lowed the movements of the Hornets
as closely as an American boy fol-
lows the World Series each autumn.
Wendy saw her brothers glance, and
smiled. "You don't believe me?"
you're pulling my leg, old girl"
Quickly and simply she told the
story of their encounter, and he lis
tened with keen interest. When he
heard how David had started off to
help his fellow pilot, Philip could not
suppress an exclamation in which
were mingled admiration and a GER
tain amount of awe. "The fellows
a wizard! I wish I'd been there. 1
wonder Who"
The ringing of the telephone from
the house caught their ear and inter-
rupted this sentence. Philip ran up
the steps to answer it, and Wendy
waited outside, aimlessly knocking
her gold ball about the lawn.
When he came out, the boyish face
was flushed with suppressed excite
ment and his pipe gave off even more
smoke than usual. Wendy could see
that he was trying, with all the bud
ding manhood within him, to keep
calm.
"Orders," he said, his voice catch
ing slightly with emotion. "Orders
to join the squadron Immediately.

from here, but not before two Me.
109's had come down in flames. They
wouldn't tell me our fellows name.
I'll get the two scatter ready and say
goodbye to mother and father"
Wendy continued to knock the ball
aimlessly about the lawn, although
most of the time she could hardly
see it through her tears.
Philip found his mother in the
flower garden on the far side of the
house from the golf links. In her
spare moments, and they were be-
coming rarer and rarer as work with
sick and wounded officers at the hos
pital absorbed more and more of
her time, Lady Harrowsdale was fond
of what Wendy had long dubbed the
three P's-pruning, planting and put
tering. At the moment her gloved
hands were covered with England's
good earth. She was putting in her
peonies, and basket of bulbs stood
nearby. In her left hand she held a
trowel.

North was right and South was
wrong It's true that South's hand
