Darling!” she whisp ered, because it was not difficult to .say sentimental words when Tony was asleep. “I love you so! I love yon so*” Yet when she told Tony about her father’s last illness and what a dreadful time .she had, meeting all the responsibility alone, it was she whom Tony treated as a little girl, holding her close in his arms, smoothing back her tumbled hair, kissing her quivering lips. ‘/No wonder you have a serious streak,” he said. “Think of your going through all that by yourself. You have got backing from here on, su gar, I may not he so good at it, but I’ll fight your, battles after this.” It was queer how it pleased Tony when she betrayed any character istic of the clinging vine, He was like that when they went into the ocean the second morning, Bar- learned to swim at the pool at home. She swam as she did everything she efficiently, but she was to the surf and it was around half stammered suddenly you were complete. Oh, Tpny, we jnusu’t ever let anything spoil it! I mean that what we feel for each, other is so couldn't bear tp have bloom rubbed off.” “No,” said Tony, his • than she had ever seen “So many married couples seem to have let all the glory slip away from them,” faltered Barbara, “We won't!” cried Tony, He kissed her, “We won’t let •anything go wrong for us, sugar.” They told each other things they had never told anyone else. “Yep,” said Tony, staring hard at a little mound of sand which he had scopp ed up while' they were sunning on the beach, "I’m writing a play, I don’t suppose it’s any good. Any- body can write a play. It’s getting .somebody to produce it that tells <the tale. At that, I think I’ve got a . good idea if, I can only get it across.” Tony kept glancing sheepishly- at :her from time to time to,see if she was interested. After a while he 4 forgot and carried away by enthus iasm, let the words tumble out, his eyes shining his face flushed. “And so everthing works out at the last curtain,” he said at the end, took a long breath. Barbara's heart was racing, a gorgeous idea!” she cried. •“You wouldn’t kid your old would you, Mrs. Blake?” he stam mered, squeezing liey hand. “Oh, Tony,” whispered Barbara, •‘"some day you’ll be a rich and fa- mous playwright.” Tony’s eyes were blazing. “If I can put it over, we’ll have the world at oui‘ feet. We’ll travel and see everything and meet every body.” Barbara winced. -She did not want to meet any more people, but she wanted their marriage to be perfect. She lay there beside him on the beach, his head pillowed on her arm, and dreamed the dreams beautiful, I any of the face graver it. i * and “It’S man suite at the of the mpst resort, Bar- what it was bara had Y.W.C.A. well, just attempted not used very rough that day. She lost her footing, floundered, went under, and. came up choking and terrified. Tony laughed until he hurt, Nev ertheless, he kept a firm clutch on her after that and he was careful not to let her‘have another mishap. “Hang on to me, Skeezicks,” he advised. “I’ll see that you don’t drown, s’help me.” He teased &her about the encounter,jyet he liked it when she kept a grip o:_ _ m his arm. From Barbara’s viewpoint there was only one cloud on the horizon of her honeymoon and that was To ny's carelessness with money. “But, Tony,” she protested when he brought her an exquisite pair of blue bedroom slippers with tall sil ver heels, “I don’t need them. I have a new pair, bought for the oc casion.” Tony’s eager face fell. “Don’t you like them?” > “They are perfectly beautiful,” she stammered. “I’m crazy about them. Only—only ’ I’m afraid they were terribly expensive.”, Tony grinned and chuckled her under the efiin, “So that’s what’s worrying you,” he said indulgent ly. “Eor.get it, auger, expenses don’t bother me,” Tony had taken a hotel and it was one expensive hotels at the bara hated to think of costing and she was afraid to ask. It was true that the rooms were beautiful, and it was nice having most of ,their meals upstairs. She loved the little table in the living reaching across kiss her, “But can we ing up here?” she asked Tony. “I mean, isn’t there an extra charge for room service?” “Sure,” said Tony, rumpling her hair, “but what the heck? This is our one and only honeymoon, sug ar. So far as I’m concerned, the sky's the limit.” It was a gorgeous day, The sun was warm, but there was a brisk breeze off the water, No one came near them on the beach, Tony was dossing his head in her lap.' “If only we can hold our happiness, Tony,” whispered Barbara. “If only it doesn’t fly away!” He took her hand, kissed the palm, and closed her fingers tight ly upon the Jkiss. “And they lived happily ever afterward,” he said. afraid I’m a little posses- faltered Barbara-. “X°u sort of jealous of—of other But I’ll try to get over it, room every afford set Tor two with Tony so often to to keep eat- HAND-—this right hand of yours and mine, of millions of Canadians —- gives answer once again.

Now the great day has come and gone, with only a brief press notice to mark its passing. There are more important things to do just now. Besides, we won’t be really happy until we can take care of every one of the more than 70,000 further applicants who today are waiting for telephones It may surprise you that 215,000 more Bell telephones are in service now than when war began. With telephone manufacturers practically 100% on war orders, how was it done ? First, by using up all our reserve stock. And second, by making maximum use of recon ditioned equipment. We have thus been able to meet—fully and on time—every essential war demand for telephone service. Only materials left over after these needs are met can be used to look after our “waiting list”. These unfilled orders are our constant ■concern. They involve much more than • installing telephone sets. The job calls for additional wire, and cable, and intricate exchange apparatus, and all the other elements of a complete telephone system. ■ And this, in turn, is just one part of the whole construction program we will under take once men and materials are available. It means lots of work ahead not only for every present Bell employee, whether at home or in the services, but for additional workers, too. ■> > i. eyes on him ,again.” “Atta girl!” murmured Tony. “That fellow could get in my hair without half trying.” Barbara rested her cheek againsl his. “Don’t worry,” she whispered. “On our golden wedding anniver sary I suspect I’ll be as madly in love with you as I am today.” “Me too,” said Tony. It was a little past the dinner hour when, they returned to the ho tel. Twilight had fallen and, cling ing to Tony’s arm Barbara thought the world was a beautiful place, more beautiful than she had dreamed. Then they stepped into the lobby and a group of people who were having cocktails in the lounge spied them and descended, upon them like a swarm of locusts. “Tony! Where on earth have you been?”, .they shouted A "We’ve been waiting hours for you and the bride to put in an appearance.” Hank Woods looked at Barbara and shook his head. “I guess you’d as soon see us as a case of small pox,” he said, "but the gang would come and I thought I might as well sign up with the rest.” “Well, what do you know about this?” Tony exclaimed, herding them all into the elevator. “Come up to the suite, bless your hearts!” He ushered them in with a beaming smile. He went to the telephone and ordered cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. He clapped Hank on .the back and when Wan da -insisted on kissing him Tony did not appear to mind. Corine was there, too, and another woman whom Barbara had not met before, but Tony acted terribly pleased to see her.- “Where in the world did you come from, Gloria?” he de manded. "And how did you get in with this bunch of cutthroats?” Gloria Havener smiled. She had a superb figure, as Barbara noted instantly, gorgeous red hair and creamy skin. She was exquisitely dressed. She definitely looked as if she had arrived at her goal. “Hadn’t you heard, Tony?” she asked in a luscious voice. “I’m recuperating in the old home town from a divorce.” ■ “Another?” asked Tony with a chuckle. “How you do go on.” He turned to Barbara. “You haven’t met Miss Havener, have you, Bab? My wife, Gloria.” Barbara caught her breath, Glo ria Havener was the local girl who had made good in a big way. Born of a very good family in West haven, Gloria had defied conven tion and gone to New York when very young determined to make an actress of herself. She did not get any place in the theater until she married Berry Carewe, the mati nee idol. He was she and i downhill name was office and when he made Gloria his leading woman she took Broad way by storm. In three seasons she was an outstanding star. She divorced Carewe shortly afterward. His fortunes descended aS rapidly as hers climbed. Everyone was astonished when she married El wood Peale, a society man, ’"and quit the threaten He too Was con siderably older than She, and al though lie was a millionaire no body1 expected Gloria Havener to abandon her career. Tony appeared to know her quite well which surprised Barbara until he explained that Gloria sand his sister Lily had gone to school to gether, “Oh!” exclaimed Barba ra, drawing a breath of relief, “Then she must be nearly forty.” (To bo continued) twenty years older than already beginning to go professionally, but .his f still magic at the box Ontario Election Act, 1937, R.S.O., Chapter 8 and Ontario Voters’ Lists Act, 1937, Chapter 7 THE ONTARIO ELECTION, JUNE 4th, 1945 Notice of Sittings of Revising Officers take NOTICE that the sittings of the Revising Officers for the purpose of hearing complaints or appeals with regard to the Voters’ Lists to be used at the pending Election of a member of the Legislative Assembly for each of the Electoral Districts of Huron-Bruce, and Huron, will be held for the respective muni cipalities in said Districts, at the following times and plates, mentioned in the schedule below, with the names of the Clerk of the Revising Officer for Each Municipality, and the last date for making complaints or appeals to the said -Clerk. } Municipality Grey Township Howick Township Wingham Town. .
