Nettle's face softened- into one

grave again. The look of,calm dig-

Your respect and your trust
will be safe with me," she replied
proudly, :"and I'll do my best to

Sheheld out her hand, and tak-

in her own rink of life, would have

How many times,, have you
said : "I must do ...;" "I feel
terrible about not writing to
•" "One of these days I'm
going to see . f."?
Suchremarks show we all
realize that procrastination
is a bad habit — but that we
are resigned to it. We're not
really convinced that it pays
to "do it now".
Yet the more we put off
doing something- because it
is distasteful or difficult, the
larger the task looms. It
weighs on our' minds, handi-
capping the performance of
immediate duties and be-
clouding our pleasures. Obvi-
ously the sooner we do it, the.
happier we'll be.
Even trivial matters should
be dealt with promptly in
order to develop the action -
habit. Is there someone you
should write? If so, don't de-
bate with yourself whether
you'll write now or later.
Reach for your pen!
Such spontaneous actions
help to develop an efficiency
that makes for success.
If it were not for life insur-
ance agents, many people
would put off -taking the
vitally important step of pro-
tecting their familie§ against
financial emergencies and
providing an income for
their own old age.

been a woman of fine character,
but it had needed the influence of
passionate enduring love, of deso-
lating sorrow and later of the at-
mosphere of peace and affection in
which Henry Burns enwrapt his
household to develop all the line
and beautiful- qualities latent in
her nature.
During . her married life Nettie
only once spoke to Henry of the
time prior to Gladys' birth. It was.
on a hot summer evening, sitting
out in the park overlooking the
Serpentine.
"Gladys is getting a big girl,
Henry," she said. "I've never told
her anything about—her father
since she was eight years old. You
remember?"
Henry nodded. "Yes, I remem-
ber."
"She's never asked since. I must
tell her some time—it's right that
she should know?"
"Yes, it's right she should know.
Though there's no need that she
or I should know who her father
was, Nettie girl. It would unset-
tle the child perhaps. I've never
wished to her his name, and as
things are there's no need we
should."
"It's a hard thing to tell a child,
Henry."
"Why not let me speak to her?
Perhaps it would be easier for her,
and it.would save you, Nettie."
"I don't want to save myself if
it's right that I should tell her."
The old man looked at her fond-
ly.
"You're never one to spare your-
self.
ourself. But it's a choice that ,should
be left to Gladys. Let it come in
its -own time; and, if it should be
for me to tell her, I don't doubt
that the story will fare better by
my telling than by yours, my girl."
Nettie laid her hand on that of
the speaker.
"You're the truest friend a wo-
man ever had, Henry."
It -was the eve of Gladys' fif-
teenth birthday, and she and Hen-
ry were waiting for Nettie to come
to supper.
A careless tvorkgirl, pressing a
seam with an overhot iron, had
necessitated the partial unpicking,
and remaking of a dress promised
for delivery that night, and Nettie
and Alice were working late.
Gladys, who was sitting by the
fire sketching, suddenly put down

Wouldn't you tell me, Burnsle?"
She put her head down on her
hands, which were clasped across
Henry's knee.
"Yes, Gladys, I'l1 tell you. Your
mother an.d I spoke Of this but a
few months ago, and I told her
then, that if you were content it
should be so, Id tell you, what
there was to tell.
"It's no new story, child, and no
less sad for that. It's the story, of
a girl who loved, who loved, too.

er. Who your father was, Gladys,
I've never asked, but this I know:.
he was a gentleman, and to do bitn
justice he .told your mother from
the first that he couldn't marry her
—the couldn't marry, out of his own
station, so he thought.. It doesn't
come to all to love as your mother
loved. When you opine to think
about it after, look at what she
is, Gladys—a woman such as there
are few like, not a mean or cheap
thought in her --nothing but what's
great and good and kind.
"It was all over between her and
him before you were born. Can you
be content to leave it? It concerns
none but we three—unless .perhaps
the man you'll marry, and he'd be
but a poor rat if it made aught of
difference to him. You've but to
look et your mother's face to know
what she's suffered. My poor Net-
tie—my poor girl."
Gladys had buried her face in
her hands. After a few minutes
she looked up, her eyes full of
tears, her face flushed.
"Don't tell me any more. I don't
want to know. I hate my father!
Why shbuld he have .had all that
love and not cared a bit? It makes
me feel as if I' hated every man in
the world."
She got up hurriedly and dash-
ed out of the room, banging the
door behind her.
Gladys never again mentioned
her father, but an added tender-
ness was to •be observed in her
manner to her mother.
After this interview, life flowed
Peacefully on again, its tenor brok-

Henry had long planned to `'take
Nettie and Gladys for a day's plea-
suring on the river to see his old
home at Wallington, and had fix-
ed upon a Sunday in late July for
the excursion.
But when the day came, Nettie,
worn out by the season's rush, was
laid up with an unusually severe
headache.
"Don't disappoint the child," she
said. "The hamper's all packed,
and, indeed, a quiet day in bed will
do me more good than anything.
Alice will see to me."

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 securityand 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 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, as in the pictures shown here, evety effort of Ontario's
newly -skilled plastics workers will mean better plastic products — will
help to make Ontario a finer place in which to live and work.
