XI Laceee Is On The Spot "1 didn't tell you before," Lance went on, "because I didn't see any reaatln for burdening you with business details. Of course you can't be expected to understand such matters. But I—well, you see, I bought the three lots on the hillside beyond ours as an invest- ment. Sometime I'm going to sell them with Barstow -designed hon- ses on them. I put all my sav- ings into them, and I'm still pay - i, -g. If it hadn't been for that, of course, this salary cut wouldn't tuatter so much." So 'tat was it! Even though Janet "couldn't be expected to un- derstand such matters," she had vaguely: wondered why, after sev- eral years as Hollowell and Ben - ton's most highly paid designer of. private homes; Lance's salary, cut had left hireso eempietely'with- out funds for financing their own home. . But just how had he expected to pay for all this in the, beginning? ' She almost asked him, but caught, heise7f. tip. 1n'"time 'to . say very quietly, "Then. Lance, if ` my suggestion seems .toxo impractical, perhaps you will tell me what _you think we ought to do." Lance rumpled his -blond hair in his boyish way she loved, and leaned his elbows en the table, his face slowly flushing. "Well, I—this has all caught me so suddenly. I'll have to have time to see what'I can arrange. It's damnable, Janet, that it;. _ EE': OUTSIDE' SDE' CLOSETS 11 it ry!

Janet said steadily, hardly be- lieving. that it was her own voice speaking the words, "I suppose the invitations could be recalled—and everything." He was silent so long, his eyes still bent on the fork, now motion- less in his hand. that she thought she had hurt hire beyond speech. Thea he said incredibly, • s'ti11 without .lifting his eyes. "You mean you'd—be winning to post- pone the wedding for a while?" Relief There was such inescapable re- lief in his tone that Janet had to clench her hands in her lap. to Steady her own voice before she answered, "Of course, Lance,—if that's what you want." "What I want? Janet; you know that isn't fair. If I let myself do what I want we'd be married at once—tonight. - 'What I'm asking myself is whether I have a right to let you in for marriage with things as they are. It's—surely you see what a. risk we'd be tak- ing. And the . responsibility would be all mine." . : , ' "Oh, yes," Janet said gently. "I'm beginning to see." "But, darling, you doft't see. I can tell that from your face... Really, Janet, don't you think you're being rather unreasonable about this?" "I have told you that I will have Aunt Mary reeall.the invitations," Janet said. She even managed to smile. "What else do you want me to do throw up My hat it?" • "Oh, `let's• get out of here," Lance cried, getting abruptly: to his feet. As they went out into the -crisp 'Sepfenrber air, Janet could:not be» lieve, that it had all actually hap pened, . She wished :Lance Would- n't go home with her But that was being unreasonable: After all, they hadn't actually quarrelled: They had only poste poned their wedding as, no doubt, two sensible people ought to do under the circumstances.... But argue with herself as she might, her sense of hurt and humiliation persisted.. On the way home they talked about everything but their own af- fairs—about the European situa- tion, about Sylvia Grant's lunch- eon, and finally about Cynthia and Timothy Benton. "A swell time for him to be rushing off on a honeymoon—with things the way they are at the office," Lance said. "At his age, •too." Describing Timothy Benton . Janet asked, "How old is Ite really, Lance, and what is he like?. I've never met him, you know." "Well, he's a big bruiser, dark and well set up—so ugly he's al- most handsome. About 48,, I should say; but he seems to have crowded enough into 43 years to last some men 100 — mining in Peru, drilling oil wells in Mexico, construction work in South Africa,. and the war. Works like the devil. Swell company, except occasion- ally when he drinks too much— that is, he always seems sure of himself with men, and gets on with them. But I've seen him at a dinner party with nice women —you've heard what his first two wives were like—when I've been almost sorry for him. He seemed scared to death of them, and try- ing to cover up by wise -cracking. Not at all the type I'd expect to appeal to Cynthia. What did —" he broke off and lighted a cig- aret with elaborate care -"just what did she say about him?" "She said"—Janet smiled a lit- tle wanly—"that, he had his points." At the dent of the apartment, Janet said swiftly. "Don't come in, Lance—not tonight, please. 1 want to talk to Aunt Mary alone." She knew be would be relieved at not having to face. Aunt Mary just now; and he obviously was. He took Janet swiftly- into his arms, and said into her hair, "Tell her it's only fora short time, Jan. Maybe only a .few, months if I'm lucky." "I'll tell her," Janet said, and went slowly 'into the apartment, Aunt 'Mary Likes Timothy Telling Aunt Mary was not so hard as she had imagined. The old Indy had already learned from the evening papers the news about; the dividend out in the A and S stooks. When anet told her,thet she and Lance' had decided ira postpone the wedding, she seemed ii, no way disturbed, •and to Ja- net's elewildexrneiit, not even sur-. prised. . "Well," she said practically, "it's lucky I hadn't ordered the food. The flowers and everything else can: be cancelled with a word, And I haven't any doubt that young McKnight will be rushing around dere as soon as he hears with a few well-chosen words to explain everything to the world." But under her matter-of-fact briskness Janet felt pity. and for the first time in that ghastly day, her eyes filled with tears, so 'that site had to turn away to steady herself, "Cynthia e.nme in this morning after.' you left,"•'the old lady Vvent •en. "Such a pother you never saw. She wanted' 'sone of her clothes to take :with her—and of course she couldn't find anything. She only took a few. It seems that Mr, Benton is buying her a co•rrr- plete new. outfit in New York." "How did she—seem, Aunt Mary?" "I couldn't make her out. She made neither an entrance nor an exit—not even a single effective speech. .. Oh, did I tell you he came with her?" "Timothy .Benton?" "In person . . And what's more," Aunt Mary folded her hands and looked up at her niece defiantly, "I like him—and that in spite of having heard very little good of him. He strikes me as one. of those persons whose faults are so spectacular that you hear very little 'about their virtues. . By the way, Janet, I have a piece of news, myself." Janet thought, If I have to lis- ten to another bit of new of the kind I've been hearing all day, I shall burst into peals of maniacal laughter.

E. In the Theatre of the Na- tional Industries Builcling— Magnificert Collared Movies, Never Shown Before, Cap- . tura Full Romance of King and Queen's Toa r Pefore the royal tour last May and June was half over, The To- ronto Star real:zed that here was a song that .would not end, a story that would bear much retelling. So out of the immense welter of pictorial material, romantic, dra- matic, beautiful and historic, The Toronto Star began to amass a rare collection of royal photo- graphs. The Canadian National Bxhibi- tion presented itself as the logical occasion for the first great show- ing. So The Toronto Star secured the theatre in tee old government building (now the National Indus- tries building) and began to look for a motion picture of the royal tour to serve as an added attrac- tion. And it found a sensational thing. It found thousands and thousands of feet of. magnificent color film. It belonged to dozens of different sources. Some of it Canadian, some from the 'United States, some professional, some non-professional. And none of it had beeu publicly shown. The Star had a world premiere of the royal tour on its hands. The Tour Entire Out of the collection, The Star bas selected a half-hour to three- quarter -hour royal tour picture that will recapture for the million visitors to the C. N. E. the full'ro- mance of the visit. Out of that million, few, if any, got more than a fleeting glimpse of their majes- ties. Here will be seen the tour entire from the stately moment at Quebec where the white ship floats in all across the dominion; the scenes at Ottawa, rich with his- tory;' the splendor of the trooping of the colors; scores of little in- cidents,, homely, human and de- lightful; close-ups of their majes- ties; quaint shots of out-of-the-way places where plain folk made their • bows; personalities in all parts of Canada and the United States, and all. in color and all moving and es citing. The 'pt:blic are being given the chance to be witnesses to the dawn of still newer miracles, the movies and radio: teleyision, face simile and wirephoto. Because these three new inven- tionsi are associated with the gath- •:wring and spreading of the news and news pictures, The Toronto Star is including them in its great eight -feature show at the Exhibi- tion, in the same building. In association with R.C.A.-Victor and the. C.N.E. The Toronto Star will present a demonstration of television. In squads of 100, at six- minute ixminute intervals, the public will be admitted into the north gallery, where television is being demon- strated. Two of each 100 will be _chosen to be televised. You will see the whole process, from start to finish, and will see all the ma- chinery, and the process will be explained by a lecturer. Maybe you will he . Iucky enough to be tele- vised. In association with R.C.A.-Victor again, The Toronto Star will dem• oustrate facsimile, This is the sending of pictures and printed words by electrical impulses. Both the sending and receiving appar- atus will be in the same display to allow you to see and understand the process clearly. ' "Before and After" You will see the picture or sheet of printed words put into tate send- ing apparatus. And in a machine nearby yott will see that identical picture or words, photographically accurate, coming out of the receiv- ing set on n sheet oe paper. It is the dawn of a great service to hu- nlanity. The fifth feature al The To- ronto Star show is wirephoto. The Toronto Star is moving its whole wirephoto plant down to the Ex, hibition, Yott will actually see plc - tures -being received by telephone wire from all over the United .States or by cable from Europe to New York and thence by telephone, , and as they are received, rushed by ruesaenger from the Exhibition grounds to The, Toronto Star of-. flee to appear in that day's Star. Another big show which is al- ways popular is the children's zoo. immediately east of the Art Gale levy, It is. bigger and better than ever this year. The Fresh Air Pund will also sitars in receipts from this display, Also, under the sponsorship of .The Toronto Star is a display in , the etrtrtlnce lobby of the 'Or'aphic Arte building. The Toronto Star will show a number of the famous photographs of the royal family. including hrinccss , F lixabcth and Prineess Margaret 'hose.
