A Dictionary Word

J. C. Kirkwood, in Marketing, says
“Tiffany” is a dictionary word, and
it does not mean jewellery or any
such thing. It means a muslin cloth.
I came across this word in one of
Charles Lamb's essays—written well
over 100 years ago, and was greatly
startled. Immediately consulted dic-
tlonaries, and, behold, the word was
there.

The gnu of Africa has a head like
an ox, the body and flowing tail of
a horse, and the limbs of an ante-
lope.

— A NOVEL BY —
GEORGIA GRAIG
CUTTS
CHAPTER XVI.—Continued

That was the only thing she had
not told Michael—about Tut-Amen-
Ra’s curse. She could not bring her-
self to that, thinking of what terror
there would be in his eyes. She had
told him much about herself, though,
of her parentage, and mentioned that
her father was an archeologist who
had taken her to Egypt with him,
but that he was dead now, and she
was alone.

Michael was astonished and pleased.
“Ellison,” he mused. ‘The Professor
Bruno Ellison! Why, he was famous,
Starr, darling.” He laughed exult-
antly. “Wonder what Stephanie and
the rest of them who are living on
the glory 6f ancestors who accom-
plished things in the dim past would
think if they knew you were his
daughter!”

In a way she explained how she
had come to be in the La Luna that
night, told of her loneliness and her
yearning to see a little of life, the
bright lights. Michael said:

“What an idiot of a bounder I
was! I should have seen it the
minute I clapped eyes on you... .
Perhaps I did, but in my stubborn-
ness refused to see! Thank heaven
all that’s forgotten, Starr— I'll spend
the rest of my life making up to you,
if I can.”

But nothing about the curse of
Tut-Amen-Ra! Nothing of the six
months of life that had been given
her!

Safe in the arms of a flesh and
blood lover it was difficult to realize
that she had ever allowed her life to
be dominated by a three-thousand-
year-old curse. This was Twentieth
Century America. A million people
would laugh off the curse of Tut-
Amen-Ra as mere foolishness be-
longing to a forgotten age.

But then, she remembered, a mil-
lion people had not seen her father
and John Lessing die. They had not
seen that ancient priestess, Ama-

even in death, crumble into dust.

Feverishly Starr reasoned with her-
self. Trying to ascribe the deaths of
the two men to natural causes.
Neither of them were young—it had
been a strenuous expedition — the
desert could sap men’s strength and
energy. ... Trying to explain away
her own physical and mental depres-
sion as due to the great natural
curse of modern women—nerves.
She reiterated to herself: “It can’t
hurt me now. It can’t! I won't let
‘it! Tl fight it for Michael's sake!”

Then startlingly came the first
shadow to cut through her happiness.
They had completely lost touch with
city life, with their friends, and with
what everybody was doing, They had
not even troubled to pick up the dally
papers that were left scattered
around the living room and on the
porch, The old farm people noticed
that and-smiled. They knew what it
was to live in a world apart!

Michael had gone down to the vil-
lage alone one morning and Starr,
waiting for him in the living room,
carelessly picked up a week-old paper
that lay on a table in the pile. It
thrust glaring headlines before her
eyes.

“PLAY-GIRL” ELOPES
MARRIED AT MIDIGHT TO
MICHAEL FAIRBOURNE, HER

PUBLICITY AGENT

“Starr Ellison, New York’s famous
‘Play-Girl’ author of the alleged auto-
biographical book of that name, and
whose love affairs have furnished the
smart set with much conversation,
eloped last night with Michael Fair-

bourne, who acted as her a asene

Then it0 laughed, slipping an arm
about her shoulders as he sat down
on the arm of her chair.

“Seriously, Starr, I’m afraid we'll
haye to cut short our stay in Para-
dise. I had no idea work could pile
up as it has, and the old man is get-
ting restless. There is no season of
the year for extended—or unexpect-
ed—vacations. Do you think we can
drag ourselves back to New York to-
morrow?”

Swift alarm leaped into her dark
eyes. She cried, looking up at him
with tensed pleading:

“Oh, Michael, I don't want to go
back! Not tomorrow, nor any other
day!”

Michael bent down and kissed her.
“But darling, we can’t rusticate here
forever. Of course it will be a bit
of an ordeal for us both to face, con-
sidering the way we burned our
bridges behind us. But we'll face the
music, Heads up, honey! Who cares!
We've got each other—that’s all that
counts—really. I have to get back
on the job and make a lot of money,
you know, for you, and for our fam-
ily-to-be.””

It was the first time since their
marriage that he had mentioned chil-
dren. It affected Starr queerly, arous-
ing disturbing recollections of other
occasions when babies had been men-
tioned. And as much as she yearned
for them, babies were among the for-
bidden things of her life. Which
Michael did not know, of course, and
must never know. She had broken
one commandment—‘Thou Shalt Not
Love—” But there still remained—
“Thou and Thy Children And Thy
Children’s Children—’ How could
she bring his children into the
world— Michael's children!—to be
heirs to a terrible inexorable curse!

Suddenly she was overcome with a
wave of her old depression. But her
fear was increased a hundredfold
now, because of the complication of
being Michael's wife,

She felt herself drifting back. As
if it were somebody else’s voice, she
heard herself saying dully:

house of Tarrance. 7

“The elopment was on the eve of
Fairbourne’s proposed marriage to
Stephanie Dale, member of one of
New York’s oldest and most dis-
tinguished families, and the two were
guests at a house party being giyen
by Miss Dale in Fairbourne’s honor
at her beautiful Westchester home—’

A sudden chill struck Starr. In
the headlines again! Both of them!
She hid the paper hastily. She did
not want Michael to see it. It was
too unpleasant a reminder of all they
had run away from.

All in a moment grim fingers were
reaching out from that other life,
trying to draw her back into the
hideous merry-go-round. She shud-
dered. This farmhouse was so filled
with beautiful, vivid memories. And
now. . . Lance—Stephanie—.

She had not got around to being
her new cheerful self when Michael
got back from the village. Just a
little later he came in, He was carry-
ing a pile of letters in his hand. He
announced breezily:

“The honeymoon is definitely. over

“I don’t want to go back. Our love
here is so perfect, Michael. It won't
be the same.”

Michael said, with that cheerful,
careless laugh of his:

“Of course it will be. I'll still
throw you a kiss now and then.”

All the time his eyes were laugh-
ing at her. He did not understand, of
course.

Driving back to New York, they
discussed their living arrangements.
Starr was oddly detached, as though
she had little interest in the matter,
but Michael was enthusiastic about
their own home-to-be. He finally de-
cided that they would stay in the
penthouse with the Egyptian furnish-
ings, for the time being, but their
real home was to be of the most
modern.

“T imagine you'll be more com-
fortable among your own Lares and
Penates, Starr darling,” he insisted,
“than in my own entirely mannish
bachelor domain. But we won't stay
there. We'll come out of Egypt. as
soon as we can. No mushrabiyeh
windows for us! We're going to have
the kind we can throw open wide
and look out on the world!” He
laughed then. “By Jove, I never
thought of it before, but I wonder if
windows like that wouldn’t be just
the thing to keep babies from falling
out!’’

Starr forced herself to smile up at
him. “They use them in Egypt,” she
reminded, “to keep wives in. Youll
not need them for me, Michael-Has-
gan.”

Sapphira was overwhelmingly glad
to see both of them, and fluttered
over them like a comfortably feather-
ed hen who had just found her lost
chickens.

“Lawsy me, Miss Starr!’ she ex-
claimed. “How good you do look!
Wasn't I tellin’ you what you needed
was to git married and stop all your
foolishment?”’

Starr laughed back at her, but it
was happily. ‘I imagine before we're
here very long, Sapphira, that we're
going to discover there are a good

Not A New Science

Plastic Surgery Has Developed
Gradually From Early
Background

The plastic surgeon’s job is for the
most part a grim business. People
Injured in accidents, by burns, and
damage caused by removal of
growths form the bulk of the special-
ist’s patients.

On the surface, plastic surgery
might seem to be the newest of medi-
cal techniques, but it is not, accord-
ing to Dr. Fulton Risdon, one of To-
ronto’s best known specialists. Dur-
ing the war Dr. Risdon worked side
by side with Sir Harold Gillies, noted
English plastic surgeon, whose re-
cent operation to restore the features
of a girl horribly burned was de-
scribed as a “miracle”,

“During the war we thought we
had got hold of something new,” said
Dr. Risdon, “but later when we had
time to go into the matter we found
that there was an early background.
The science had developed gradually.”

But the war did for plastic sur-
gery what it did for many early in-
ventions, like the aeroplane. It lent
an urgent need for “forced develop-
ment” and brought results never be-
fore obtained. Surrounded by men
mutilated by shot and shell, doctors
simply had to “do something.” As
@ result, hundreds of men now are.
able to lead a normal life,

But it was several years after the
war that a Dutch scientist, Dr.
Esser, made the greatest single im-
provement in plastic surgery. “Skin
grafts had a tendency to “float up”
because of accumilated blood and
serum under the new skin,” said Dr.
Risdon, “and then Dr. Esser wrote
an article describing the use of pres-
sure on the grafted area, resulting in
the new skin growing to match the
surrounding skin.” — Toronto Star
Weekly.

the height of my ‘foolishments’.”

“We don’t care, do we?” Michael
asked, and Starr slid into his arms.

“Why should we, darling?” He
kissed her.

Among the first things Starr did
when she was settled in the city
again was to send the diamond and
fire opal bracelet back to Lance
Marlowe by an armed messenger.
Only the terrific monetary value of
the thing had prevented her from
sending it back through the mails be-
fore. But in the country it had been
carefully hidden, kept out of sight.
She enclosed no note with the bauble
when she returned it.

Weeks later she met him at an in-
formal gathering, and he mentioned
the incident of the bracelet, implying
in a rather hurt tone how he had felt
when he saw her wearing it—and
after. Starr tried to laugh it off.

“Oh, you'll find someone else who
will wear it much better than I ever
could, Lance,” she told him.

Lance said quietly: “My tastes
must have changed, Starr, or maybe
I’m getting old. I haven’t been able
to find anyone else yet—or wanted
to.”

But Lance Marlowe had not chang-
ed, as Starr discovered in the next
interchange. He never would change.
She flushed deeply as he added in a
whisper: “My yacht is being renovat-
ed. It may not be the proper season
for it, but I’m sailing soon for
Hawaii, alone.” He looked at her
oddly, and Starr recognized that in
his mind she was still “Play-Girl,”
He could not reconcile any idea of
“Play-Girl” being faithful, even
though married. “I had hoped—”

Operates Motorless Plane

Italian Travels Some Distance Under
His Own Power

Vitorio Bonomi, Milan, Italy, laid
claim to a successful “human flight”
after reporting he had travelled five-
eighths of a mile in a monoplane
operated by his feet and legs. The
ship was designed by Enea Bossi.

(The artist Leonardo da Vinci
spent years in vain attempts to per-
fect such a device.)

The cabin ’plane was operated by
two propellors which received their
power from a type of bicycle mechan-
ism worked by the flier’s feet. Bon-

up” by an arrangement of cogs and
shafts.

First Pp Government Is
Soon To Be Elected

Thirty million electors—of whom
more than 5,000,000 are women—will
shortly vote in British India on the
first stage of responsible govern-
ment. It’s a form of responsible
government rigorously bound about
by limiting safeguards, but it’s a be-
ginning.

It’s the beginning of the great
scheme to create a United States of
India,

The Government of India Act of
1935 contemplated creation of a fed-
erated India including the provinces
of British India and those native
states which bewilderingly dovetail
into the provinces of British India,
states not actually British territory,
who subjects are not British, yet ly-
ing across main arteries of communi-
cation, vital to the welfare of India
as a whole;

The section of the act granting
autonomous government to the prov-
inces of British India does not need
to wait for the wider federal scheme.
It comes into force April 1. Under it,
legislative assemblies will be elected

in 11 provinces of British India. Leg-|

islative councils or upper houses will,
in addition, be chosen in Madras,
Bombay, Bengal and United Prov-
inces, Bihar and Assam.

A True Westerner

First White Child Born In Battleford
Dies In Winnipeg Hospital

Roderick W. McKinnon, 52, chief
engineer of the reclamation branch
of the Manitoba department of public
works, died recently in a Winnipeg
hospital. He had undergone an oper-
ation.

Born in Battleford, then in the
Northwest Territories, in 1884, the
son of a Hudson's Bay Company fac-
tor, he was the first white child born
in that north Saskatchewan city.
Both his parents died a year after he
was born, and Mr. McKinnon was
taken to relatives in Sydney, N.S,
He graduated in engineering from
Dalhousie University.

Coming to the west in 1907, he
joined the staff of the Canadian
Northern Railways in Alberta, en-
tering the Manitoba government ser-
vice in 1912. A widow survives.

Little Helps For This Week

The Lord is my light and my sal-
vation, whom shall I fear? The Lord
is the strength of my life, of whom
shall I be afraid. Psalm 27:1,

Thou hidden source of calm re-

pose,
Thou all-sufficient Love divine,
My Help and Refuge from my

‘es,
Secure I am while Thou art mine.
And lo! from sin and grief and

shame,
I hide myself in Thy dear name.

Whatever troubles come on you of
mind, body or estate, from within or
from without, from friends or foes,
though you be lonely, children of a
heavenly Father be not afraid. What-
ever befalls thee receive it not from
the hand of any creature but from
Him alone, and render back to Him
the purifying and subduing of thy-
self. What can harm thee when all
must first touch God. How He re-
joices over a soul which, although
{t is surrounded on all sides by suf-
fering and misery, does that upon
earth which the angels do in heaven,
namely loves, adores, and praises
Him,

An East Indian Flower

Owned By Chinese Girl Blooms After
105 Years

The delayed bloom of a flower
owned by Miss S, ¥. Chao, daughter
of the manager of a Chinese news-
paper in Shanghal, has just been wit-
nessed after a lapse of 105 years.
Known as the vapour, or, sometimes,
East Indian flower, it is one of three
specimens in the entire Far East, and
has been in the Chao family for many
generations. Some vapour flowers, it
is stated, have been known to live as
long as 300 years without blooming.

With somewhat more money ayvail-

of the plan is that farmers in Al-
berta may exchange ordinary grain
for registered and certified varieties
and, with certain limitations the Do-
minion will bear shipping charges.
