the modern face of Toronto's
Bay Street, one of Canada's
most important thoroughfares
and 'heart of the big city's fin-
ancial district. Toromtonians
are hopeful that this will lead
to another improvement, the
elimination of poles and over-
head wires by placing wiring
underground.
His First Sight
Of Hudson's Bay
Hudson's Bay ks far as the
eye could see, the beach sloped
gently into the somber forest. The
gray sea and the gray covering of
high clouds domed together to the
horizon. The tide had turned and
was being sucked rapidly from
where they stood, silent and mo-
tionless. A mysterious force drove
the water outwards. Each wave,
raising its endless, oily head and
runing the length of the shore, fell
a foot or more below the previous
one. In half an hour a mile of dark,
uneasy bottom was laid bare. Be-
fore it turned again, and with the
same mysterious force, started
climbing toward the forest, the lip
of the sea would have retreated
twenty miles into itself.
The mud quivered faintly, tiny
hubbies rose and remained, small
holes opened and gaped. Curious
shellfish materialized and scurried
meaninglessly across the mud.
Gulls came and hunted then
down....
There was nothing Paul wanted
to say to anyone; he felt only an
urge to detach himself from the
others, whose exclmnations seemed
forced and filled with distaste. He
wandered from the group until he
could not hear them.
There was nothing but the dis-
tant wind in the treetops on one
side of him and the distant waves
on the other. Between the two he
moved alone. If he stayed forever,
only the sea would roll itself to his
feet and slip away again, over and
over in a terrifying vision of cos-
mic life. There. were the sun, the
moon, spects of stars. All the water
of the world was united in a com-
mon fate, swaying to the motion
of the earth, responsive to the
heavenly bodies. He, a man, was
unnoticed by the smallest creature,
scaly and forgotten by time, that
ran over his naked toes. . .
He had dreamed of standing on
this sho're with the expedition clus-
tered about him, contemplating a
land whose greatest beauty would
be in the inexplicable signs that
.they were the first to build a fire,
the first to catch its innocent game,
the first to see its own peculiar
constellations. He would be wiser
and stronger for the discovery by
so much as the Bay was vaster than
a lake. There would be something
in its virgin air that had never been
breathed by humatl lungs before
that would change his pulse. .
And now the beckoning song he
had heard had fallen silent, the
vision was an unimaginable waste-
land, devoid of all qualities that
the human mind could grasp..—

BREAKING IT GENTLY
Ginsberg had a remarkable run
of luck in a dice game one day and
piled up $3,000 in winnings. He
went to the well once too often,
however, shot the whole $3,000,
and lost. The shock was so great
that he promptly died of heart
failure, His friend Solomon was
designated to break the sad tidings
to Mrs. Ginsberg. He found her
baking a strudel in the kitchen.
"Your husband was in a little
crap game this afternoon, Mrs.
Ginsberg," he said diffidently by
way of a start.
"The loafer:" said Mrs, Ginsberg,
continuing with her batting.
"He was ahead $3,000," continued
Solomon, "but he bet it all at one
dine and got cleaned out,"
"Three thousand dollars,"
screamed Mrs: Ginsberg, now thor-
oughly aroused. "He should drop
(lead."
Solomon nodded gravely. "He
did. Good day, Mrs. Ginsberg."

It might be appropriate I£ I start-
ed today's column with a little story
that has been going the rounds, and
causing many a laugh:

"My first turkey!" exclaimed
the bride proudly. "It looks swell,
darling," said her husband. "What
did you stuff it wits h"nuc wa nit
t
with? Why, honey,
hollow."
* * *
If you want to start an argument
—the friendly sort, of crouse—just
ask a group of folies what is the
PERFECT stuffing for turkey. For
more than a hundred years folks
have been disagreeing as to the sort
of herbs and seasoning that should
be used, or whether the mixture
should be moist or dry.

If you expect me to try and settle
such a controversy, you're in for
a disappointment. I'm much too old
a hand at the game to get caught
that way. However, this week I'm
going to give you a basic recipe
for a mildly -flavoured bread crumb
stuffing. Following that a few
variations on the sante theme,

The quantities given are for a
"small family" bird—five pounds
dressed weight; but it's easy for
you to increase them to suit what-
ever size you want to cook. As
to the roasting—just one hint. I
think you'll find it more satis-
factory to have the bird BREAST
DOWN until about three-fourths
clone, then right-side-up till the
job is done.

Tips About Sewing
On Plastics
Plastics need their own sewing
rules.
Machines ]teed definitely to be
regulated for stitching plastic fail-
rics, says Miss Edna Gray, clothing
specialist.
Use a fine needle and a long
stitch, Miss Gray advises, adjusting
the stitch regulator to the length
used for machine basting—about 7
of S stitches per inch—and using
a loose tension.
No basting is possible when
working with plastics, Miss Gray
points out, so work roust be right
the first time, Ripping will. leave
a line of holes, which is not only
unattractive but also weakens the
fabric.
Pins also must be eliminated
since they, too, make holes in the
fabric. For narking, use chalk,
crayon or colored pencil, she says.
Because plastic fabrics are very
smooth, they mai slip as they go
through the sewing machine. Ad-
just the pressure on the presser
foot until the fabric will feed
through smoothly without leaving
an imprint of the feed on the seam
line. Sew slowly. Do not pull or
push the work; the machine should
be so well adjusted that the fabric
will 1110ve through with little as-
hi0ta11ir.
Fasten thread ends by bringing
both ends to the wrong side and
tying.
Hems are not necessary, as
plastic fabrics will not fray at
the edges, Edges may be ]r
strai5,ht or pinked.
MISUNDERSTOOD
Standing at the gangway of a
ship the steward kept shouting for
the benefit of arriving passengers:
"First-class to the right! Second-
class to tate left!"
A young woman stepped daintily
aboard with a baby in her arms.
As she hesitated before the steward,
he bent over her and said: "First
or second!"
"Oh," said the girl, blushing
vividly, "it's not mine."
WELL-KNOWN FEELING
Neighbor John says: "While I'm
carrying the first 50 l ushels of
leaves to my compost heap I can
be fiercely intolerant of the man
who wantonly wastes nature's
bounty by burning them, but after
that—well, there is something nice
about leaf smoke.
