Ills interest in sex snould awake,

which some of his fellows site-

Curious and yet deeply reserved,
he watched. and made his. own de-

other youths his epoken words by
no means always expresaed the
ideals which he cherished in his
romantic, and tender boyish heart.
Even in his aunt, Ivor was in,.
capable of confiding all the diffi-
culties and uncertainties which be-
set him in his late boyhood, While
coul4 he have broken through his
reserve, she, quite ignorant of so
much that under the circumstanc-
es she should have known, would
have found herself unable to help
him by more than vague appeals
to be a good boy, a good man, to
behave as became an officer and a
gentleman.

of her day, still confused ignor-

it was well that good women should
remain as far as possible unac-

"unipleasant eubjects," while, liv-

BUSINESS
by
"How can I gain more confi-
dence?"
Again and again people
ask me this question. So here
is the one suggestion that
will perhaps prove the most
helpful:
Develop outside interests
—especially with other
people.
Invariably those who suf-
fer from shyness live too
much within themselves.
And this is the real cause of
their trouble.
The best cure lies in mix-
ing more with people under
all conditions — especially in
group activities. It matters
little what these activities
may be: political organiza-
tions, church work, service
clubs anything that gets
the individual outside him-
self.
In this way he becomes ab-
sorbed in what'he is doing
while with other people.
'Soon he learns to be at ease
with them — and to forget
himself. His shyness vanishes.

CHAPTER III
As Nettie Burt walked down St.
James's Street one hot June eve-
ning on her way to St, James's
Park, craving as she did a breath
of fresh air before entering an
omnibus at Westminster Bridge,
she was ip, the mood for adventure
—.restless, dissatisfied, questing,
though quite unconeciously, f*
love, life, experience.
The girl was physically tired, for
they had 'been working overtime
at Gilman and Hanover's, the great
dressmakers in Bond Street, where
Nettiee,although but •twenty-three,
was already a head bodice hand.
She was a, refined -looking girl,
well dressed as -befittedher posi-
tion in such a house as Gilraan's,
and, her pretty face drew many
admiring glances. Nettie was pre-
occupied. She- felt worried. Ev-
mything combined to worry her.
The weather had been unusually
hot and the season unusually gay.
Through May and the first half of
June work at Gilman's had been
killing. Now, thank goodness, the
last Aseot gowns were finished.
Soon the workers would be on
three-quarter time; en half-time;
on holiday. Miss Jenner—the per-,
oxide -haired head fitter, middle-ag-
ed •but strenuously and piteously
striving to retain that look of
youth so valuable an asset in a
hard-working world—had suffered
from the rush and strain of the
season, and her underlings had
suffered in their turn.
Nettie was sick of the business.
She dida't know as she wouldn't
leave Gilman's, she pondered, wait-
ing on the edge of the pavement
while a hansom cut past her up
Jermyn Street. But wherever you
went there'd be one thing if 'there.
wasn't another. Everything eeern-
ed to go wrong. Why couldn't she
marry Ernest Sampson? But there
it was,, she just couldn't and now
he'd gone off in a huff. Not that
she cared, not one half -penny, Then
she'd had a row with her mother
only ,that morning, What a life!
Poor Mother! Still, she supposed
she needn't have married again if
,she hadn't wanted to.
A vision of the half house at
Walworth, crowded with small
stepbrothers and sisters, dominat-
ed by the sullen, bullying and of-
ten drunken stepfather, flashed
across her brain. No, she couldn't
stand it and that was a fact. She
earned good money and she'd set
up somewhere for herself. P'raps
she'd lodge with Minnie who'd be
glad of the chance. And then she
could help her mother a bit. P'raps
Ernie would ask her again and
then p'raps she'd think of it. She
didn't know why it was she never
could seem to fall rightly in love
like other girls.
She conjured up a mental pic-
ture of Ernie Sampson's common
face. Even the way he put on his
hat exasperated her, and as for the
silly fashion he had of opening his
mouth!
''Oh, dear! Oh, dear!" sighed
the girl.
Wherever you went, whatever
you did, if it wasn't one thing it
would be another. She seemed
caught and half smothered in a
vast grey net from which she
would neer shake herself free.
Nettie was not apt to be de-
pressed. She wairclever, ambitious
and a hard worker, Silliness of
any kind incensed her. Her out-
look on life was cool, and her judg-
ments a trifle hard.
It's a pity as Providence wasted
such looks on a girl as will make
such little use of 'em," one of the
hands at Gilman's had said, a tall
saucy -looking creature, who re-
garded her womanhood as a sale-
able asset out of which good bar-
gains were to be made. Yet, allied
to the Capable side of Nettie's
character was a passionate if in-
articulate craving for the things
which make life worth living. A
passing youth grinned impudently,
stopped and took off bis hat with
a flourish. Startled from her
gloomy abstraction, she answered,
his grin with a frown, an indig-
nant toss of her head and a has-
tening of her steps. And then it
happened. Something heavy lurch-
ed against her, she fell, recovered,
and found herself held by the
Prince of her dreams.
Pleasure in the shape of As-
cot brought Ivor Selincourt to
town, and Fate threw Nettie Burt
in his way. Ivor jumping out of a
hansom all but knocked the girl
over. Catching her by the arm to
save her &Om falling, he looked
into the prettiest pair of dark eyes
a man could wish to see, and look-
ed again at delicate blushing face,
at curved red lips and waving hair.
Nettie bad the knowledge of
some aspects of life which is in-
evitable in a girl brought up In a
crowded home; she also knew
something of the pitfalls which He
in wait for pretty young women.
Harsh moralistS may hold that
-She walked into her lavishly 'bait-
ed trap with her eyes open, and
therefore deserved all that atter-
Wards befell her, Circumstance
smoothed, the path for Nettie and
Ivor. Her quarrel with her bar -
Used, nagging and indifferent
mother furnished an eXeuse for
leaving houte. Ernie, finally dis-
coaraged; did not taut* 'Work
was slack at Gilman', meetings
With this vroxiderfut lover of (hers
were easy to arrange.
Possibly from the Bret Nettie
knew that the pride must 'he pact.

Later she realized it was only too
well, and, paying to the uttermost
farthing, made no protest.
It must be said for Ivor Senn, -
court that in the early days of the
affair he had no wish to harm the
girl, and throughout he played the
game honestly and according to
the rules as he knew them. All
along Nettie understood, that he
would not marry her, and that in
a few months' time he must leave
her, for his regiment was ordered
to India.
Perhaps in her soul she also
knew that on one side was fancy,
passion, and on the other a love
which counted the world well lost
so that it should come to It fulfil-
ment.
There are none too many great
lovers, but to Nettie it was given
to love, with soul, heart and body.
And Fate gave this gift of love
into the hands ,of Ivor Selincourt,
who held it loosely and in the end
let It fall as a thing of small ac-
count.
. . . . .
Five months after the meeting
of Nettie Burt and Ivor Selincourt
the two were together in the taw-
dry drawing -room of a &t. John's
Wood lodging.
The girl lay on the sofa, her face
pressed into a faded satin cushion.
The man stood in the window,
and turned now and again to look
at the figure of the girl. His hand-
some face wasworn and troubled.
His thoughts swirled disconnected-
ly. Almost unconsciously he tried
to harmonize his inner feelings
with his worldly code.
After all what had he done? No
more than many another fellow.
He'd given the little girl a jelly
good time, he was going jolly short
to provide fo her in the months
to' come. When that was done and
over she'd marry. Of course she'd,
marry and be happy in her own
class. Rotten thing to do, marry
out of your own class. Not fair on
your people and those to come af-
ter. Couldn't be done. It was hard
on women though. Still, that was.
not his fault. A fellow couldn't
help nature. Never meant things
to come to thig: Wish he wasn't
so damned short of cash. Still,
lots, of girls get. left, and lucky to
have a ten -pound. note, poor little
beggars. Oh, hang it all! It was
beastly rough luck on a woman,
and there was no saying it wasn't
—sorry before God that he ever
began it.
Ivor Selincourt, at twenty-five,
knew again the odd miserable in-
terior feelings of the little boy who
kissed his Aunt Anthea, was lifted
by Prosper, the dignified butler,
into the high dogcart and was driv-
en off on his way to a preparatory
school for the sons of, gentlemen.
It was November now and the
light was already dying. Ivor's kit
bag was packed. His other world
awaited him—a seemingly difini-
fied world. The drunken seedy
man, who yet retained some sem-
blance of the gentleman's serVant,
paused discreetly at,the dooti.
"Hansom's waiting, sir."
"Ml right. I'm coming. Put the
things in,"
He flung •out his left band—the
fingers wide apart in a little ner-
vous gesture habitual to him..
The man's uncertain steps were
heard on the stairs-.
Taking a case from his pocket,
Ivor counted snote after note. One
hundred pounds. With •that Nettie
said she would have all she want-
ed to see her through; to Start her
in a dressmaking business of her
own, after—
"Axe you sure It will be enough,
Nettie?" he asked, and his voice
broke as oddly as did the voice of
the little boy Who bid, his aunt
good-bye while the dogcart waited.
And now as,then his arms were
round a woman's neck and his
tears were on her cheek, and now
as then it Was ,the vtlinian whose

Later on, when it .was dark, the
curtains were still. undraven, the
fire had died out in the hideous
pretentious grate, and the girl still
lay, her face hidden in the shabby
yellow' cushion, While from her
hand the rustling notes had, fallen.

41, Anther year of re6ord expaa,
aim The gen, Tele0911:e CorniPa"
of Canada added 149,000 telepbonee
to it SYstera n Ceatario and, Qtle-
bee,. an ittereaee of 11 per cent
over the 1917 'figure, according to
the company's annual report for
1048.
The increase was reflected in
rural areas by the higher percent-
age of rural households now with
telephone service — 60 per cent,
comihared to 5,5 per cent at the end
of 1047, and 39 per cent in 1945.
Throughout the, cOmpanY's terri-
tory there were 1,456-090 tele-
Phenes in service at December 31,
1948, which is nearly double the
1937 total, Nevertheless, demand
was still beary, and at the year's
end, 85,000 applicatiop,s for service
remained unfilled. At the -elbse of
1947, there were on hand 94,000
applications .for service and 78,000
of these were cleared' during 1948,
The report notes that in spite of
record demand and growth, and the
resulting strain on expanding facil-
ities, progress was made towards
improved standards of service.
Expansion and improvement of
facilities were accelerated, with
new construction expenditures tot-
alling $75,000,000-40 per cent more
than in 1947. Total plant invest-
ment reached $397,000,000 at the
end of the year.
Telephone traffic was handled in
record volume with local calls in-
creasing by 247,000,000, or nine per
cent over 1947, and long distance
messages by 7500,000, or 13 per
cent.
Total payroll increased from
$45,000,000 to $52,000,000, an in-
crease of 16 per cent above 1947.
The number or employees totalled
25 721 at the year's end, more than
double the figure at the end of
1943.
A new high level was reached
in total revenue which amounted
to $97.198,652, which is $11,052,552,
or 13 per cent more than the pre-
vious year. but operating expenaes
increased to $73,261 208, a rise of
16 per cent over 1947. Taxes tot-
alled 39,239,000, equivalent to 31.81
for each share of capital stock, or
$6.69 for each telephone in service.
Net income was 310,576,574, or
$2.08 per share of $25 par value,
as compared to $9,701,652, or $2.20
per $25 par value share in 1947.
The number of shareholders in-
creased in 1948 by 4,450, of whom
2,374 have been added since the
subdivision of the stock from
shares of $100 par value to shares
of $25 par value in October, and
now shareholders total 38,889,
largest on record. Ganadians com-
prise 96.1 per cent of this number,
and own 80.7 per cent of the shares.

HANDS IN TRAINING ... FOR ONTARIO
Learning to Make Plastics
IN Ontario the wheels of industry turn for the benefit of every single
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 interest in the flow
of a steady supply of trained workers td 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, arc given the opportunity to develop
new and specific skills in every field of business and induStrial activity.
For instance, as in the pictures shown here, every effort of Ontario's
newly -skilled plastics workers will mean better plastic products — will
