Gladys descended from" her
omnibus at Sloane Square and
walked up Sloane Street.
At No. 500 many changes had
taken plaee since Gladys and Thea
had seen each other for the first
time.
Nettie Barnet's venture had pros-
pered i beyond her hopes, and it
had bebome necessary again to en-
large the ' premises, This after
much consideration had been
achieved by the sale of Henry
Burne decorating .business to his
foreman, who had moved to a shop,
a little further up the street, while
the three ground -floor rooms? of
No. 500 were transferred into
showrooins and a couple of cubi-
cles for fitting.
Henry, haying saved a consider-.
able sum of money, •felt that now'
in his seventy-aixth Year he had
earned a leisured old age, and his
wife and stepdaughter were unani-
mous in persuading him tce retire.
The old man had become a profes-
sor follower of Christian Science,
and in this faith with its refusal
to acknowledge the necessity of
sin and suffering, he lived content,
emanating radiations of kindliness
and peace.
Never for a moment had Nettie
regretted her marriage. Associa-
tion with a beautiful nature had
softened and mellowed her. "Three
friends together, we might make
a happy home," Henry had said
when he asked Nettie to join her
lot with .his, and happy indeed
their home had been.
Gladys, always keenly interested
in the development of her mother's •
business, joined in the consulta-
'
tions anent the new arrangements.
"With the clientele you have,
Mumsie, it would pay you to make
a splash. People think far more
of their dresses when they come
from smart -looking places. Par-
quet boors and gilt chairs and, the
general look of things impresses
them. It wouldn't matter how well
you made if you'd a little house in
Fulham and an apprentice in a
pinafore to open the d=oor. Nobody
would believe in you or pay you
decent prices either. When 1 was
at Celestin's, I've seen people pay
fifteen guineas for a ready-made,

Ann general factotuI --.,observed
"reel cines,"
tlladys was of the 'ware opinion,
though she iiid'' $t clothe her
*OUghte in be same WOO*,
To -days she paused and looked
critically at the arra igeatent , of
the window. The facia was of light
,grayish brown wotid with rained
,gift lettering, and in thewindow,.
with its parquet flodring, G110ys:
had, ordained 'that one old, galtearm-
chair sheath! stand. Over this wake
thrown negligently= a droop of
flame colored brocade edged with
fud. A large azalea bloomed in.
ivory satin, worked in dull gold
and ailver thread, . and framed is
carved wood, obscured the view
of the room Inside !rem. the cur-
ious eye. The showrooms them-
eeives, .parquet -floored and panel-
led in the greyish brown wood,.
ivere lighted by gilt eand'elabra,
and sparsely, furnished with a
table and two or three chairs of
Louis XIV period. A wood fixe
burned on the hearth, and the
vivid flame -coloured blooms of an-
other
nother azalea gleamed- from a far
corner.
Nettie still controlled the busi-
ness, though the number of her
custonpters made it 'necessary to
employ a second' titter and a sales-
woman.
Mrs. Barnet did not always take.
the orders of new customers, leav-
ing this duty to Miss Heath, an
elegant, competent young woman,
with a, coiffure that made her head
resemble a. cocoanut.
Gladys opened the door softly.
One of the showroom apprentic-
es, in her pretty uniform of soft
green cashmere, came forward.
"Miss Vavasour's in the other
showroom, Miss Barnet," she whis-
pered.
"Oh, then I'll go in."
Gladys moved towards the inner
room, and drew aside the heavy
velvet curtain which had been
drawn to give this important cue..
tomer more privacy.
Miss Vavasour sat in one of the
gilt arm -chairs in a regal pose.
She was a tall worn -looking wo-
man, rather untidy, with a deep
and somewhat husky voice. Gladys
had already designed several
dresses for her for stage and pri-
vate wear.
As the girl approached, Miss
Vavasour's heavy face lit up and
she smiled, showing beautiful
white teeth.
"Ole I'm so .glad you've come,
Miss Barnet. Your mother sug-
gests that for the dinner scene in
'Her Hated Foe' I wear this pale
green brocade. I want something
that expresses suspense -dread."
She stood' up, and suddenly the
three women who were watching
seemed to feel with her a terror
that approached nearer—nearer.
Then este laughed. The appren-
tiee holding a length of satin gave
a gasp of relief.
Gladys' face was intent.
"I see—yes—I know. That soft
green and silver brocade, Miss
Vavasour, your hair dark and
wound round your head, and a
great chain of cabochon emeralds
set in silver—all soft and myster-
ious."
Clever girl," said the actress,
"that's just what I mean. I •be-
lieve you'd act yourself, you're so
quick at understanding."
"Act?" laughed Gladys. "A. wax-
work would act better than I." She
turned to her mother. "I will do
you a sketch for Miss Vavasour,
Mumsie."
"Thank goodness, that'a off my
mind! My other gowns are tail-
ors."
"May I do a sketch of you in
the green dress for my new
paper?" asked the girl.
The actress turned quickly, the
keenness of the professional for
any advertisement at once excited.
"Your paper?"
"Yes, the 'Princess'."
"Oh, certainly. With pleasure.
Would you care to see the first
night? I'll send you tickets."
She gathered together her huge
gold bag with its jingling attach-
ments, her gloves and muff, and
fixed a great bunch of carnations
more firmly in her coat.
Gladys watched the actress as
she entered,the taxi, her face tired
and haggard, no longer young.
"Oh, dear," thought the girl,
"what a pity she has to grow old."
She moved back into the inner
showroom.
"I'd better ask Miss • Evans' to
telephone at once," Miss Heath
was saying. "It will be just our
luck if Deberi7nam's have sold out."
"Send up one of the little girls
now if you like," said Nettie, and
Miss Heath departed.
"That woman is a pleasure to
dress," said Gladys. "The water -
green brocade will be just right for
her—and for the part too. Mumns.fe,
I've settled that contract. Have
you any more fittings for this af-
ternoon?"

BRUSSELS
J. Alex Ross, for 40 yearn as-
sociated with the Civil Service, re-
tiring in 1940 as chief treasury of-
ficer of the Department of Nation-
al Revenue, died early Thursday
morning of last week in the •ot-
tawa Civic Hospital. He had been
in failing health for some time and
confined to hospital since May 18
of this year. Death came in his
76th year. Mr. Ross, a native of
Huron County, born in the village
of Brussels, entered, the service of
What was then the Department of
Customs, at the port of Toronto,
early in June, 1900. From this ap-
prenticeship he graduated in. turn
by a series of well-earned promo-
tions to the accounts branch and
finally to chief treasury officer. He
was a prominent member of Chal-
mers United' Church, and was a
past District Deputy Grand>,,M,as-
ter of the Ottawa Masonic disCrict.
On the occasion of his retirement
in 1940, Mr. Ross was honored by
presentations from the 'Customs.
and Excise Divisions, presided ov-
er by Dormer Commissioners H. D.
Scully! and David Sim, and the ac-
counts
scounts bra,4ch under J. J. Megill,
During his term of office Mr. Rosa
had :served under 14 departmental
ministers. Hishome in Ottawa
was at 430 Cooper St., where his
widow, the former Jean Cram, re-
sides.
"No, I don't think so. Oh, Gladys,
I am pleased, my dear.
"Sit down and talk to me for a
bit. Lucy, ask Miss Evans to let
us have some tea now. Then you
and Burnsie could come and see
that studio, Mumsie"
Mrs. Barnet at !ortytive was a.
striking -looking woman. Her tail
figure had. filled out and She mov-
ed with dignity.
Her hair was now a beautiful
silver grey, and Gladys., who al-
ways declared .that her Mumsie
was the most beautiful woman of
her .acquaintance, insiated that it
should be artistically dressed. She
designed her mother's• gowns, and
the black- crepe de Chine with its
long graceful lines and relief of
filmy tulle,, relieved by a great
string of jade beads,, suited its
wearer perfectly.
Nettie's face was not that of a
woman .who struggles to keep her
youth, it was sad and rather worn,
but with the peaceful sadness of
troubles endured, remembered but
not resented. There was some-
thing extraordinarily attractive,
gentle yet forceful, about this
middle-aged woman.
Nettie sat down on one of the
gilt chairs, while Gladys stood in
front of a large glass and made a
low curtsy to her reflection.
"I congratulate you, you've done
very well for yourself, my dear,"
she remarked. Turning from the
mirror, she came and sat down on
the arm of her mother's chair.
"£500 a year, Mumsie! What a
rich daughter you'll have! There's
no doubt that I must have my own
studio now. It will pay me weld -to
take pupils, and I shall do a lot
of catalogue work, d• shall often
have to work late at night. It
would be impoesibie here."
"We shall miss you, ehiid."
"I don't think I shall give you
time to miss me, Mumsie, I shall
be here continually. Oh Mum, you
know I told you about the nice
Princess young man—the sub -edi-
tor, Mr. Warren—she does amuse
me so. I shall have to ask him to
tea one Sunday when I know him
better. Now I am going to find
Burnsie and tell him we're all ;go -
ale to loots for 'studios,. B think
the one in Pembroke Place will
do."

CANADIAN INDUSTRIES LIMITED
HANDS , IN TRAINING ... FOR ONTARIO
Learning Business Practice
TN Ontario the wheels of industry turn for the benefit of every single
I one of us. Our lathes, dynamos, drill presses, farm combines, tractors,
business machines, etc. are producing goods and services which earn
dollars. These dollars provide food, clothing, medical care and other
necessities which contribute to our security and high standard of living.
Every single one of us, therefore, has a very personal in in the flow
of a steady supply of trained workers to industrial plants. These workers
will operate machines which are important to our way of life.
We should appreciate, then, the co-operative efforts of government,
industry and labour in the field of employee training. In schools and in
factories our workers, young and old, are given the opportunity to develop
new and specific skills in every field of business and industrial activity.
For instance, every effort on the part of office workers to become pro-
ficient in typing, filing, shorthand and secretarial work, will mean
'greater business efficiency—will help to make Ontario a finer place in
which to live and work. ,•
