Old White always set about its Sabbath morning summons with a ther's study ready discord. Until the hempen bell rope, writhing through various floor openings, furnished impetus needed for the stately cadence of mellow boom- , ings that followed. oday there appeared to be an unusual outpouring of Locust Hill's faithful bent upon worshiping within the austere walls of Old White church. Before the bell finished its reminder, a growing stream of arrivals was converging on the front of the edifice. Singly and in groups they made their way up the footworn treads serving the two entrance doors. The atmosphere held a noticeable air of expectancy. It was reflected in the vigilance of ushers prowling along the carpeted aisles and darting harried glances into the black walnut pews. Ushering at Old White was a function demanding nice perception. Particularly if there chanced to be a liberal sprinkling of strangers, as on this October afternoon. Conspicuous among their number was a personable young man who arrived early and appropriated a choice seat on the center aisle, where he remained apparently insensible to the polite censure of the ushers' regard. The youth's roving blue eyes, against the deep tan of his face, scanned the growing congregation with unflagging interest. The alertness of the eyes was in decided contrast to the well-kni- t figure relaxed comfortably in the pew corner. To the gray tweeds and carelessly knotted scarf of blue silk. And to the wavy hair, a warm chestnut brown. Only once did the young man stir om his languid pose. That was a trio of elderly women, all in He might have been black silk, hesitated reprovingly at the entrance to the pew.

Had Abbie Brown carried her investigations farther, a pair of twinkling blue eyes directly behind her would have furnished the desired Dale's brief sight of their new home town convinced him that the place was reserved, set in its ways. It was more than possible that these people would resent a progressive minister even if the causes he championed were just Jonathan Farwell s coming to Lo cust Hill was the result of a coincidence. It began with an invitation to deliver the baccalaureate sermon at the university where his son was receiving a degree. After the services. Doctor Far- well found himself accosted by a man with keen tall smooth-shave- n d eyes peering through glasses set astride his thin nose and tethered to a black ribbon. The eyes, thinning hair and immaculate clothing combined to produce a cool grayness. "I am Cassius Brady of Lo cust Hill, New Jersey," the new comer announced crisply. "And this is my daughter Lenora." He indicated a slender dark-eye- d girl standing at his side. "I was greatly impressed by your sermon. Doctor Farwell. Very much so. In short" he added bluntly, "it set me wondering if you would consider a call from our church." "This is a trifle sudden, Mr. Brady," Farwell returned with a slight smile. "I suppose It is. I dropped off here yesterday on my way from the coast to meet my daughter and take her home. I am glad I did. Now, I want very much to have a talk with you." This brief encounter was followed by an invitation to dinner at Brady's hotel and a meeting between Dale Farwell and Lenora Brady. If the lawyer was impressed by the minister, the latter's son was attracted to the lawyer's daughter to a degree that rendered him almost incoherent during their introduction.

Although closely allied, it is distinct from mimicry, in which an entirely different end is achieved and, of course, is a decided step ahead of the commoner protective coloration. Protective coloration can be seen everywhere,, from the white winter fox of the Arctic regions to the brown hares of the plains and it was probably an early step in the evolution of the wild creatures we know today, writes H.

The most perfect instance of protective resemblance I know of in Saskatchewan is provided by the moth Lithomoia solidaginis. It is an insect of weathered or neutral colors that would harmonize with almost any natural object or surface upon which it might alight. In a collection it is uninteresting and hardly worth noticing. During life, however, this moth is more interesting, for in its normal resting position it so closely resem bles the stub of a broken branch that even an experienced entomolo gist might pass hundreds without suspecting their presence. In re pose, the rather long narrow wings are closely wrapped around the body, and a little depression in a stick, such as that left when a branch is broken off, often is chosen as a resting place. In such a spot the moth places its head and then, with its back to the ground, holds its body out from the support at an angle of approximately 30 degrees, with the normal angle at which disability make their appearance many branches leave the main as a result of faulty nutrition.

To provide adequate amounts or the seven food essentials at every meal to avoid the mistake of serving too much of one type of food and too little of another should be the worthy aim of every homemaker. You will find the task considerably easier if you send for the Homemaker's Chart. Tack it up in your kitchen or in the room where you plan your menus, and use it to check the nutritional balance of every meal you prepare. If you faithfully follow the food program outlined in the chart, you will help to assure your family of correct nutrition. This is the most priceless gift you could bestow upon them. For nutrition is the architect that draws the plans of human destiny. In providing the right foods, you lay a firm foundation for health on which to rear a life of happiness and success.
