It. was Donald who greeted his
father with the announcement
that he had lost his mummy. And
so while Mrs. Thoriipson searched
frantically for her son, Dad and
Donald tried to locate her.
Here's' what happened. Donald
was spending 15 minutes giving ---.••- M-.
the toys the once over.r in a large
Department store. His ..mother
was .to meet him .there as the
store Closed at, one o'clock.
As the hour approached a clergy,
said ".sonny. you'll have to "go,.,
-we close now". Stalling for time,'
Donald moved ,to another counter
to get the sariie salute, and al-
though he .advised. . the clerk he
Was, waiting ' oxo' his, mother, he •
still . was' 'literally: told to scram.
Donald must have been leaving:
as. his mother arrived for they 1' --
both heard the bell go.
Reaching the main floornd
the. -street, Donald did a• searc at,
the Queen and Yonge car _er,._
in the meantime' hiss mother and
store employees were searching
all the floors in the big building
which . was now, vacated. Every
minute must have seemed like
ten to Donald :so he decided Rs.
act.
He . knew ' the address of his -
Grandma Campbell in the East -
End of the city, but he also knew
.his father was at the Royal York
and decided to try Wand' find him.
He. asked 'the direction of the
Union Station, knowing the hotel
was opposite it, and boarded a
street car, having car fare , with.
him. He hadn't sPent all his,
money in .the toy department,.
But, he didn't take a t 'ficin "Sta-
tion car and had, to transfer. at.
Yonge.' and Front for • a 'two -stop.
trip to the station. Reaching the•.
Royal York, Donald entered the
lobby, found the elevators and.
told the elevator • clerk'his story.
and that bis Daddy was at a 'con-
vention.
He' was hustled; tothe conven-
tion hall flOor, and was snort
puring forth his story to his'
Dad. The problem then was to-
find his mother. It took some
scurrying .around by taxi and
several phone calls; including one.
to the police station, before the-
party was reunited. All told Don-
ald .and his mother • were' separ-
ated one :hour, but it seemed like
an age to Mrs. Thompson.
