stewardesses from the Hay Tor bad
been rushed' into hospital for an op -
elution,
"You've no right to speak' like that,
Fay,". Mrs. Lind, said, for once
speaking sharply to her younger
daughter. "If Christine hadn't gone
to sea, where would you be? ' It's
her stoney that's kept the Name to-
•gether 'since I had to give up, as
you know, and it's because I went to
sea, and Christine after me, that
you've had a good education and e7 -
pensive training in beauty culture.
You've no reason to be scornful about'
stewardesses, Fay, for you wouldn't
be going to this fine post in Shang-
hai, if Christine and I had been too
proud to empty slops—though that's
not all we do on board."
"But it'll be too awful to have
Christine on the Hay Tor, when I'm
going to be a passenger on the same
ship," Fay said sulkily. "I can't
cancel my passage at such short
notice, but why can't Christine refuse
to be transferred."
"On what grounds, Fay?" Chris-
tine asked. "They can't get hold
of anyone else on such short notice
as this, for the crew has to sign
on this 'afternoon. l'in the only
stewardess from the Brent Tor who
lives in Liverpool, and there's, no
°Cher Tor liner in port."
"You can say you must have a
holiday—you've only been at home a
;week. Get a certificate from the
doctor saying you need a rest"
"Christine can't play a trick like
that on the Company," Mrs. Lind
insisted. "Although- this transfer's
hard on her, it's what you have to
face when you're at sea. And Chris-
tine's all the more bound to do what
they ask, because the, Company's
been sogood to us, 'allowing her. to
take my place when I couldn't sail
again, though shewas years below;
the right age."
'I wish I could cancel my passage;''
Fay said, ahnost in. tears. "It's go-
ing to spoil everything—and I was
n
so thrilled at getting this Shanghai
post, even though I did get it be-
cause none of the others were keen
to go out there."
Christine, looking at her sister's
flushed, charming little face, sudden-
ly knew that she couldn't bear to let
Fay be unhappy for a moment 1o>Ig.
ex. 'She had been deeply hurt by
Fay's attitude, though she had known
for a Iong time that Fay was ash-
amed of the way, in which she earn-
ed a living for the three of thein,
but she couldn't hold out for long,
when Fay's blue eyes were dim with
tears.
"There's nothing for you to worry
about, Fay," she said with a smile,
"for there's no earthly reason why
anyone on board should know that we
are sisters. Why, we haven't even
got thesame surname, thanks to be-
ing half-sisters and not whole ones."
"Do you mean that we could keep
it secret?" Fay asked eagerly.
"Unless we're very unlucky, Fay.
I'm not going to tell the world that
we're related, and frim sure . you're
not—there niay be someone on board
who !mows us both, but it's so un-
likely that it's hardly worth eonsid-
hundred even when the ship was full,
the barber's shop was the only one
Ion board, and prices there were Inge,.
Like most of her fellows, Christine
always laid in a . stock :of the in-
numerable small necessities which
she needed for the long voyage to
China and back.
4' Stockings, toothpaste, talcum
powder, collar studs, tape," she
wrote, and then paused, : for her
thoughts had drifted to Fay, that
selfish irresponsible young sister of
hers, who hurt her so often and was
always forgiven.
It had been so fatally easy t o
spoil Fay, and Christine was as much
to blame as her mother. George Lind.
had deserted his wife when Fay was
only six months old, and Mrs. Lind
had gone • straight back to sea, be-
cause it was the only way she knew
of earning a living—she had gone
to sea first after the death of
Christine's father, Robert Jordan,
who had been a captain on the Tor
Line, and her marriage to George
had been so brief that she continued
to be known as "Mrs. Jordan" on
board ship.
Christine, five years older than
ray, had mothered her little sister
even in those early days, when the
two little girls were boarded out,
with an elderly ex -stewardess dur-
ing the long months when their
mother was away at sea. She had
never dreamt of being jealous be-
cause Mrs. Lind openly adored the
exquisite, fair -headed baby whomshe
saw so seldom, and could never mar
the happiness of their tinie together
by scolding Fay for anything.
FAY COMES FIRST
Christine at sea, but she had made
no protest at all when Fay applied
for the Shanghai post, without even
consulting her. Even to Christine
site had only said how glad she was
that Fay should have such a chance,
at the very outset of her career, and
she had never hinted that Fay ought
to stay in Ehgland' with her crippled
another..
'Who's Chief Steward on the Hay
Tor—do you happen to know?" she
asked casually.
The knitting fell into Mrs.' Lind's
lay and she gazed at Christine in
di sin ay.
"Perrin!" she exclaimed. "Oh,
Christine, I dohope you're wrong.
I leailed with Perish once -in .the
Torquay that 'was, on _ the Jamaica
irun --and` I was glad enough to be
,transferred at the end of the trip,
for T never bad such a miserable trip
in all my years at : sea."
"Why—What's- the matter with
Perrin?"
"Ire's one of the worst bullies on
the -line, Christine—spends all his
time looking for a speck of dust, and
bellows the ship down when he finds
one."
"I've always managed to satisfy
Mr, Robine, and no one can say that
the Brent'Tor isn't a clean ship."

Showing assets at the highest point
since 1929, the Bank of Montreal's
annual finaneial statement just is-

business, with assets, up by over $44,-

Postal Clerk Father of
Christmas {Seal Idea'
1 Postal employees have a special
interest in Christmas Seals, since it
was a remember of their profession,
Einar Ilolboell, Danish postal clerk,
who invented the idea of selling an
extra stamp to raise funds for anti-
tuberculosis work.
One December night in 1903, Einar
Holboell was :sorting stacks of
Christmas cards and packages in a
Copenhagen post office, As he toiled
his thoughts turned to poor children
with tuberculosis. Suddenly' he had
an inspiration. Why could not the
practical way to a great .movement
to fight the dread disease? Why not
an extra stamp on every Yuletide
message? Out of this vision came
the tuberculosis Christmas Seal, sold
first in Denmark in 1904 and now an
international weapon in the fight
against tuberculosis, The Seal idea
was adopted in this country in 1927.

Accuracy in Newspaper
Work
"The newspapers always get things
wrong", is a remark frequently made
Perhaps the folks who say 'that have
just read 50 items in 0 newspaper,
and have discovered an error in one
of them, They • overlook the 49 that
were right, and aie amused or dis-
gusted by one that was wrong.
Every error the newspaper' makes'
is spread before the public for rid
icult and censure. People usually see
it, and it forums a subject of public
conversation. If some merchant or
clerk with whom you are dealing
makes an error, no one knows ebout
it except he and you. -
Newspaper pepple constantly tra-
vel all over •their home towns and
tramp weary miles to verify doubt -
fel items and avoid errors, Little is
said about that:
Newspaper work is done hurriedly
Few newspapers have forces of ed-
itors and reporters so large that
every item can be verified with the
utmost care. If a reporter has a
dozen assignments to cover in, an
afternoon, he has to do some rushing
from one to the other. Perhaps he
did not take pains enough in some
place, but very likely he was worry-
ing for' fear that someone else he
needed to interview would leave his
shop or home before he could be
Many errors are caused by the
carelessness of people' who give in-
formation, They are told the wrong
name, or have accepted an unverified
rumor as a fact, and passed it on to

a letter patterned after this ex-

little letter expressive of my dove

Those getting such "a letter might

yet deep clown in their hearts would
be approval, for everyl1ady knows
that Christmas is made wretched for
many by the draining of the purse
by excessive gift -making.
The making of gifts at Christmas
to those who have served us is just-
ifiable. Christmas provides the oc-
casion when we can express goodi
will to those who bring us, so faith-
fully, our daily bread, our daily
milk, our :laundry, our newspaper,
our mail; to those who serve us at
restaurants or in our office; to dom-
estic servants, to our. furnace :man.
I like well the idea of invieing
