eff she only knew" lamented the boss,
Eve could sell the information at ten
cents a word"
Believing that he had safely hidden the
candle of Thelma's beauty under bushel
of gum-drops, the manager went at his
correspondence and all was serene until
the middle of afternoon. Then the as
sistant manager interrupted him with bad
news of Thelma again.
"Boss, you forgot that there is some
male help working down in that basement
and they haven't done a lick of work
since you brought her down there"
SIS that so? l can't control customers
behavior but you tell those men from
me that"
'Wait minute boss, the men are only
a few but all the sales girls have gone
crazy too. They keep sneaking down
stairs to ask her how she fixes her hair
and what powders and perfume she uses.
That's a lot of bologna of course, they
know it isn't the powder and stuff and
they are trying to look her over and get
some tips. Meanwhile your customers
aren't getting any service. I've chased
the girls out of there five times but it
doesn't do any good. If you don't get
rid of that little beauty, we're all going
to be out of luck"
1t was then that Thelma was most po-
litely told to drop her gum-drops and
call it a day. She was too good and
sweet and neat and pretty to do in

lovely reference but she must never come

marks of the other girls: Don't you
care, kid, you sure did jazz this place good

1t didn't make sense to Thelma and no
wonder she couldn't explain to her father.
Mr.. Todd found two other positions for
his pretty daughter but her fame had
spread over Lawrence and while she at
tracted crowds of visitors to admire, no
body thought to buy anything. After
these jobs were lost nobody wanted

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.--Can-
ada's order in council naming the
Hen. Vincent Massey her first min
lister to Washington is hailed here
as an event Of prime significance
and a turning point In the history
Of the western world.
AS far back as 1922. following a
conference in Ottawa between Pre-
nier Mackenzie King and the then
British ambassador, Sir Auckland
Geddes, it was understood that Can
ada was DESTROYS of sending her own
diplomatic representative to the
United States.
But London never quite approved
the loss. 1t struck at the unity of
the empire" Thus no one was
named, and later. with the coming
into power Of the Conservatives, the
nomination was lost in the shuttle.
Was First Action
Recently, however, with the Lib
eral landslide, Mackenzie King again
became premier, and one Of the first
acts of his administration was to
name a minister to Washington.
80 What President Coolidge will do
rs now awaited with interest. Will
he send a minister to Ottawa? What
will be London's attitude of he
should? Unofficially the question
has already been raised. And while
some fear Britain might not relish
it, others hold that Canada and her
mother country have definitely set
tied the issue between themselves.
That is, if Ottawa sends a duly &C
credited minister to Washington

"You mean you want to marry Fay?" she asked, and her voice sounded far away and faint in her own ears.
 He gave a short, quick nod
 ''How soon?"
 "In June," he answered, huskily.
 In June!
 Why, June was the month when she, herself, had promised to marry Fanny! She had a cedar chest of linens at home, all monogrammed and laundered! And the bottom drawer of her dresser was half full of soft, bridey-looking things for her honeymoon! A breakfast coat of white silk, a chiffon petticoat, little band of lace and rosebuds to wear around her hair in the mornings before it was done up for the day.
 She had tried them all on before her mirror 20 times at least since she had bought them, trying to see herself with Rannys eyes when he should first be- hold her in those lovely, soft-colored things. And only this very afternoon she had broken the news to Miss Hope, the head librarian, that she expected to be married in June!
