They met secretly in an unused roof of a law library on Broadway to discuss the situation, then prepared to leave. The doors were locked, the building desarted. While trying to make their escape they encountered two omen, bootleg- ger gangster who (for reasons of their own) kidnapped them, taking thein to a deserted farmhouse where they spent the night. When they were released two days later, Sheila's fam- ily doubted her story. Her !bro- ther Joe produced a telegram, sent from Boston, not New York, which read: "Peter and 1 married here. Sheila. "She had asked the gang- sters to assure her family of her safety and this telegram was the re- sult. When she denied they were married, her family was shocked, and she became very angry. She had just declared she would leave home forever when Frank McCann, Peter's oldest brother, appeared. He quiet- ed Sheila, explaining that he and Joe had given a marriage announcement to the newspapers as the best way out of a difficult situation, The next day which was St. Patrick's Day, Judge and Mrs. McCann proposed that Sheila and Peter marry. "And admit we were lying!" Sheila ex- claimed angrily, hurrying from the McCann home. As she was passing an employment bureau, she ,topped to read of the positions offered. "I've got their order! All I have to do is add two more to it. L IVIr. Benny tore up the order him- self and smiled at Sheila. "Now go back and get the whole order," he said, "and next time don't lose your head about it!" "I didn't lose my head. The two boys came in late— "That'll be about enough," said Mr. Benny, lighting a cigarette and glancing up over the match at Sheila. "I tell you to go get the order again, and not to lose your head about it!"

But in fact they were from almost any early hour until after ten o'clock at night. At half -past six in the morning, at six even, fishermen were rattling the dining -room doors, and nurses with fretful and wakeful babies were clamoring for admittance and at half -past nine at night tre- mendous good-natured and apolo- getic persons were arriving for din- ner. This was all very well for Miss Watts, the gracious and capable and spectacled head waitress, who got the big tips, but it told heavily on Sheila and the other girls. They had to take on extra tables, to hunt for tablecloths and napkins not original- ly provided, to apologize for food that had been used up, and to make additional trips for substitutes. They worked in an enormous pantry served from the kitchen below by dumb -waiters. The order slips, with Mr. Benny's O.K. on them, went down on the empty elevators; each tray had a slip on it when it came up. Sometimes when a big party re- quired more than one tray a bus boy was summoned to assiet. But the girls were not allowed to ask for help; Mr. Benny decided that, and if he did not like a girl, he would smile a teasing smile and observe that she could make two trips of it, just as well. The girls, except perhaps for the favorite of the moment, detested him; when they were especially tired or nervous he could make things hard for them, and they wasted needed energy in despising hien. They ran to and fro breathlessly; their collars wilted, their little but- terfly aprons wilted; the girls them- selves wilted. Sheila never had had much color, but she developed a pal- lor that was new. Her film of copper hair stuek to her wet forehead,- her clothes adhered to her soaked body. She flung aside crumpled tablecloths and napkins, piled dirty plates, checked penciled orders feverishly. She talked so little and worked so hard that Miss Watts soon singled her out for special impositions. "Mary, there's a party just down from New York; I'm sorry. You'll have to start the order anyway—I took it." "At twenty-two minutes of ten, mindja," Nelly might say pityingly. Sheila would eye the slip. "Four mock turtle, three supreme of grapefruit, seven oyster cocktail, four bouillon, two cream of let- tuce—" The salads and desserts did not conte from downstairs. They were were made in a special room off the pantry, and the girls went in and selected them themselves. It was icy cold in this room; it was very hot in the big dining -room; the pantry was drafty. Everyone was sniffling, and the girls noses were always wet and pink. When Nell, in the beginning," had told her that in the quiet hours, say between eleven and twelve each morning, and three and five each afternoon, she would be free to come up to the dormitory loft and lie down. Sheila had secretly laughed. Lie down—with Atlantic City's winter boardwalk, and the glorious ocean at her.. otm - •door—not she!

There has been considerable elis- cussion about rearranging the high school curriculum to do away with subjects that will be of little value to the student inlater life, and sub- stitute others which will prove more beneficial, observes Alice Ross in the Sault Star. Yet one of the most important teachings of all has been forgotten —the teaching of manners. Each year hundreds of students graduate from our secondary schools sadly lacking poise and a nice manner with which to meet the public. This, of course, is not the fault of the teachers. They naturally ex- pect the child's parents will see °tie its manners. Unfortunately too many parents are apt to neglect this all, important item beyond the rudi- ments of politeness. Lack of child training is evident when we see the number of cases of juvenile delin- quency. ' If the continuation schools had a, class wherein the student, who lecke- such training at home, could learn; how to act in public and in general develop a pleasing manner, they Would do more • towards giving that student a-et.ixt in life than all the teachings of languages and other such subjects, often forgotten once the student graduates. When a girl or boy is interviewed by a prospective employer, that em- ployer takes note of the applicant's planner above all things, and his ap- pearance. Naturally ability counts, but it is unfortunate that more do not realize what a major art man- ilas and appearance play.

She was not rested by, an hour or two; flat and exhausted, on her back; she could not even be, gin resting in so short a time. She ached all over, her nerves throbbed and quivered, her head was dizzy with confused thoughts, her breath was short and her mouth dry. "It's a great life!" she said to- Nelly. oNelly. "It's a great life if you have an infected corn, let me tell you," Nelly said. "Sometimes I wonder why I ever left my home. My mother runs a boarding-house; lots of the railroad fellers conte over for meals. But my stepfather done it, reely. He was ten years older than Mamma, and what he put over on her you wouldn't believe, He knew I was onto him!" Much of the talk Sheila heard nowadays was coarse, but most of the girls were good girls. • Once she heard her own name. Four of the six girls in the rather small room were lying on their beds one winter afternoon when one af. them said suddenly: "That Carscadden girl we were talking about is 1,1,1:1":.,1;_.11 t'i i . sta.y- isarisian 1 Pansies Send ,15c in stamps and you will recoive a package of parisian pansies No. 2540, and our magnificent seed catalogue, fully shut- titrated, 172' pages, several in natural colours - the finest and most complete in Canada, .0 - For. your SEE and.

The McCanns have scads of money, and they hushed the whole thing' up." - Sheila- lay perfectly still, her heart stopped. But when a girl idly' spoke again, it was on a different topic. She had left a note for her mother on that dreadful last afternoon of packing, and tears and flight. "Dear Ma, I am safe and well; I will be good. Sheila,' she had written. And every few days since she had seized sortie -opportunity to send further re- assurance. Once she had gone into Philadelphia for an hour or two and mailed a post -card picture of a church from there. On this side she had written, "I am praying for you. Pray for - Sheila." Almost every night she cried her- self to sleep, longing for her mother. But no matter how hard the work in the dining -room was and no matter how lonely and homesick her free hour's, she would not give in. The loneliness of life --Sheila had never known it— never suspected it before. How lonely they were, these Trish -born and Russian -born girls, who were Herded like sheep in the top rooms of great hotels; these Maids , and nurse -girls and chauffeurs and valets who stayed at the hotel, They gave their lives to others, for sixty and ;seventy and eighty dollars a month.

Less than one-seventh of her life hers—for she had to serve breakfast on her "day out," and she must be back in her cell of a room by midnight, (To be eontineed) The one Corner By ELEANOR DALE amazes war eaWalr. aleMePar Escape From Monotony Perhaps it's about time you gave your family a real break and served a dish which is not only unusual, but very tasty. This is a delightful com- bination of some of our favourite foods --tomatoes, cheese and olives, Though they say that the taste for olives has to be acquired, we have noticed that the majority acquire it with surprising speed, and no won- der! Most people can only afford to serve olives on special occasions so the olives in this dish make it quite gala, to say nothing of how they add to the flavour. Perhaps. you haven't yet tried us- ing tapioca as a binder for dishes such as this, but once tried, you'll never want to use anything else. It gives just the right consistency and texture where a binder is needed and does not affect the flavour of the main ingredients. There is no guess work about it either when quick - cooking tapioca is used. If the directions are followed, perfection will be achieved, and that is quite a promise when you recall the number of times in the past that dishes have been either too watery or too dry. This escalloped combination is ideal for either lunch or supper and pro- vides a definite change from routine dishes. Escalloped Cheese and Olives 2 Tablespoons onion, finely chop- ped, 1 tablespoon butter, 23 cups strained canned tomatoes (juice and pulp), 5 tablespoons quick -cooking •.tapioca, 1/ teaspoon sugar, ee tea- spoon salt„ 1-8 teaspoon paprika, 1 cup grated cheese, 3-4 cup stuffed olives—sliced, %s cup buttered crumbs. Brown onion in butter. Place to- m::';oes in top of double boiler and bring to a boil over direct heat. Combine dry ingredients; add grad- ually to tomatoes and bring to a brisk boil, stirring constantly. Place immediately over rapidly boiling water and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add onion. Place layer of tapioca mixture in greased bak- ing dish, cover with cheese, add lay- er of olives, then remaining tapioca. Cover with crumbs. Bake in moder- ate oven (350 degrees F.) 20 min- utes.

For Use In New Ships AILSA CRAIG.—There has been considerable activity in the Iumber- ing industry lately. During the past week one carload of logs was shipped from Alviston and two carloads from Ailsa Craig. Of these, one was con- signed to Glasgow and two to Liver- pool This lumber is rock elm and is to be used for ship building. There re- mains to be shipped out one carload for Bermuda, two cars for Liver- pool and one for Belfast. The price is higher at present than for the pat ten years. In all, there have been about 40 cars of export timber ship- ped during the past year, At present the men are taking out square timber, two cars of which are consigned to Glasgow. Also con- siderable white ash is being cut. This Iatter is used for tennis rackets, handle for forks, spades, etc. George Keen is busy with his men cutting wood in Hugh McKenzie's bush, south of Ailsa Craig, and it is estimated he will possibly take out 4,000 cords of wood.
