shoulders, "You don't think----"
Her voice rose.
"No, of course not," he aeenred
her hastily and smiled as he patted
her hand affectionately, "I didn't
mean to imply a thing, my dear.
Please forgive me,"
Honey dropped bask against tate
cushions and relaxed, but she knew
well enough that he would ask
Sonny what tittle she had returned
from town. That, however, was
taken care of.
She smiled to show that he was '
forgiveit. and then with a deep con-
cern in her voice, asked: "What
is your next move, Joe?"
""To find out all the police know
about the cast."
"But mightn't they start inves-
tigating you if you become too
curious:" site inquired, astonished
at the chance he would be taking
if he talked with the police. "They
would want to know what interest
you had in the stone."
"That is where you come in,
Motley" * " t:
She sat up with a start, eyes
electrified with surprise-. "What do
you mean?" and she was not put-
ting on an act this time. She was
really frightened.
"Your reputation is clear, Honey.
You are above suspicion. So you
are going to pump the police for
me." He gave her a charming smile
of encouragement and she relaxed,
her fear receding to the back-
ground. "When you get a fair de-
scription of who stole the diamond,
then we will get to work on that
angle. Remember, we haven't any
time to lose. Once Sophpia Sylves-
ted gets it back, there will never
be another chance at that jewel.'
"How am I going to pump the
law?" she asked very curiously. "I
wouldn't know how to start to ask
questions."
"Socially," he told her. "You
know the district attorney. He's a
friend of yours, isn't he? Well,
drop by tomorrow and see hint at
Itis office—just a friendly call since
you are in the vicinity of the court-
house. He'll talk to a beautiful girl
like you."
"I see," She smiled more to her-
self than to him and there was
a mischevious gleam in her eyes that
made theta dance. "I am to be
a ::ren, only I am not a brunette,"
His eyes blared instantly with
jealousy.
"Just remember that I am the
one who is in love with you. And
don't forget that you are going to
:"ar•ry ale when this job is fin-
ished." There was no mistaking
the warning in his words.
"I haven't forgotten," she an-
swered languidly,
"Good." e * *
"It is nice I know Daniel Brew-
ster.' she mused. At the thought of
the attractive young lawyer color
leaped into her cheeks and Bent her
heart racing. She liked the district
attorney awfully well, but Joe did
Lett ::new that.
:one rang sharply at
that :tomtit. Joe jumped; his
nerves seemed to be on edge. 'With
an unhurried movement Honey
readied for the phone.
"Miss Monroe speaking. Ohl"
There was real surprise in her voice
and sive was instantly all attention
to the voice at the other end,
"Hearing your voice is a real treat,
Dan Brewster," There was another
Ior.g ;rause at her end of the line
while Joe sat on the edge of the di-
van, his bands clinching tightly.
Finally. she said: 2101, yes, I'll
be delighted, Dan, Good -by."
She replaced the receiver and
ey;d Joe with an amused grin, en-
joying the stew he was in to know
what the district attorney had said.
"I ant sorry I have to break our
date t _lli llt," and she lay a hand
on his arta to soften the blow.
"But 1 male) Brewster is calling to

('1'o be Continued)
THE PURPOSE of this column is
not to find positions for unemployed
people. But I am deeply concerned
over youngsters wlto are seeking
their first job,
and the difficul-
ties that face
them after
they've landed it.
T11eir experf-
enees are often
discouraging to
the point of
heartbreak.
This fall the usual letters have
been pouring in, telling of their
efforts, dwelling on their disappoint-
ments. One 17 -year-old girl com-
plains:
"I was to go to college, but things
happened at home which made me
grateful that I could go out to work.
I got a job all right, but the other
girls in the office aren't friendly.
I do 111y work well, I know, but
I'm really Miserable!"
And a lad of the same age writes:
"I've been trying to get a job since
Easter! Every time I answer an ad,
the people say the job is filled, or
they want somebody with experi-
ence. I'd like to know how I am
to get experience if I can't get a
job!"
Courage and Tact
If a young man has trouble find-
ing work in the field he prefers,
sometimes it is smart to apply to
one of the public service utilities or
large industrial organizations. They
are always on the lookout for bright
young people who are willing to
start at the bottom and keep an
eye out for larger opportunities.
They employ thousands of people
in dozens of departments, so if a
new employee isn't happy in his
first connection he often can be
transferred to another department
which attracts him more.
Even if one stays only a couple
of years with the company, if he
is industrious and ambitious he can
learn a great deal. Meantime, he
has accumulated the experience that
his next employer demands.
Friendly, Not Forward
A new employee who is not wel-
comed by her co-workers must
examine herself frankly. Often the
others there are afraid she may be
casting longing glances at their own
desks, and they freeze accordingly.
If she watches her manner toward
them, is friendly but not forward,
keeps her mind on business and
doesn't try to interfere, they break
down and accept her.
She should remember that a busi-
ness office is not a social group,
and not expect any special, favors.
She should avoid gossip as she
would the plague, and never dis-
cuss business affairs outside the
office. She should offer to help
others out when they're buried
under a pile of work, yet not expect
the same courtesy in return. Her
clothes should be simple and modest,
she should wear a little makeup,
and keep her opinions to herself
until they are asked for.
* To "A Job Hunter": If you are
* not trained for special work, take
* what you can get, not only what
* you think you'll like, Any ex-
* perience is counted as experience,
* you know, and you can learn
* something from every position
* you hold.
* To "Discouraged Betty": Girls
* often seem brusque when really
* they're only busy, Don't take
* offense easily. Stick to your job,
* and don't expect every new ac-
* quaintance to become a close
* friend. Watch the girls work, so
* you can learn from them, and be
* pleasant but casual. They'll come
* through.
* * *
The first few years in business
take all the aptitude, determina-
tion and energy a youngster has.
If you are puzzled by any speci-
fic problem, tell Anne Hirst
about it — write to her at 128-
18th Street, New Toronto.
First American steel plow was
made by screwing pieces of steel

frame.
First of Its Kind—It looks tame enough, but it's actually a
wild Hungarian partridge, held by GraceMound, daughter of
the manager of the Ontario Government's bird farm at Nor-
mandale. It is one of the first lot of these patridges captured
in the Ottawa district, and they will become breeding stock in
a plan much similar to our pheasant re -stocking plan.

Drama In The Bible
Job. 1:1; 2:1-0; 42:1-6, loa
Golden Text: --H knt,weth the way
that 1 talc(; Whet; lie hath tried me,
I shall 101110 forth as gold.—Job.
23:i-
Jot1b, mere than any other book
in the Bible may be called a drama.
The most dramatic part tells of the
series of disasters which suddenly
sweep away everything that Job
had (1:13-10). There is nothing
else in Scripture 10111111 can corn -
pare with this in dramatic effect
except perhaps the tense scene
where Esther plead for her life
and tie• 1!v es of her si(ng)e.
The prologue and epilogue of the
book of Job are in prose; The bulk
of the book — Chapters 4-31 — is
poetry. The changes to be observed
are internal and mental, consisting of
Job's changing m00110 and of the
increasing boldnes w :1h which Job
is wrongfully accused.
Job was the world's greatest suf-
ferer with the exception of Jesus
Christ who bore our 'sins. There
were then no Holy Scriptures from
which he plight derive comfort.
Nor did he know that his faithful-
ness would be forever a lesson
to all mankind, He was unaware
that Satan had secured God's per-
mission to test him to the point
of death. God had described Job as
"a perfect, and an upright man,
one that feareth God," Satan pur-
posed to make job curse God to
his face,
The plot failed. Job maintained
his integrity. He did not know why
he must suffer so. He did not need
to know. He knew God knew and
that it all must work for his good.
Such faith!
A friend suffered a stroke and
was confined to bed for months.
He le very feeble and his financial
support is small. Speaking of his
illness he said, "I never realized
the Bible was so wonderful. I
wouldn't have had this illness left
out of my life for a million dollars.
It has drawn use so touch nearer
to God." Suffering can be a bless-
ing to us and fit us to be a greater
blessing to others.

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. in 'what way can one tliscrim•
Mate between the people to whom
wedding invitations are to be sent
and those to whom aattouureutents
are halted?
A. Invitations are sent to the
close friends whorxt one really wish-
es to attend the wedding. Announce..
meats are mailed only to those not
considered sufficiently close to be in-
vited to the wedding. But do not
send an invitation and an announce-
ment to the same person.
Q. Is It permissible to interrupt a
conversation between two persons
In order to introduce another per-
son?
erson?
A, No; one should always wait
until there is a pause in the con-
versation.
Q. Should two different kinds of
food be placed at once on the fork?
A. Only one morsel of but one
kind of food should be placed on a
fork at one time,
Q. Is it all right for a man to
talk with a woman when meeting
her on the street, with a cigar or
cigarette in 111s mouth?
A. No; it would be ill-bred to
talk with either a woman or a man
with a cigarette or cigar dangling
from the lips.
Q. When passing your plate for
a second helping, should you leave
your knife and fork o11 it?
A. Yes, Be sure the handles aro
far enough on the plate to keep
your knife and fork from toppling
off.
