glided into the private salon in a beautiful evening frock of mauve silk, which made her dream of girlish loveliness.
 On settee, attended by Keswick Dell, sat Lady Montrose. Jacque- line promenaded gracefully back wards and forwards in front of the wife of the chairman of the board.
 Her ladyships style of dress was old fashioned, but she was kind- hearted old soul, and the sweetness of Jacqueline's face fascinated her She had had one other child be- sides Teddy-a girl, who had died when she was three years old. She would have been just about the age of this girl now. Perhaps she might have been as beautiful.
 Lady Montrose put down her lorgnette and wiped her eyes. Jac- queline continued her listless trail- ing up and down.
 Dear" said her ladyship, don't keep on walking about. You must be tired. You are tired can see by your eyes. Come and sit down here with me. I should like to talk to you"
 If you please, madam said Jacqueline, T am not allowed to sit down in these dresses"
 Stuff and nonsense" replied her ladyship. MT. Dell. want your young lady to sit down and talk to me, and she says she mustn't. Is it rule that your young ladies are not allowed to sit down?e
 Not in these dresses, your lady ship" replied Dell. Tt would ruin them for showing"
 "yery well, I am buying this dress, MT. Dell. I've got a niece who will adore 1t. Put 1t down to my account. Now, my dear, come and sit down with me. Mir. Dell how are you getting on with that black satin of mine?"
 i."Miss Gibbs" called Dell, bring up that black satin evening gown on order for Lady Montrose."
 "Whats the matter, child?" asked her ladyship- Why don't you come and sit down? You're as white as q sheet"
 Jacqueline was standing in front of her looking at her with a dazed expression, her slender figure sway ing little.

DOUGLAS NEVIS
JUNIOR PLAY
 BIG SUCCESS

With an able cast to support him Frank Pettygrove as Pop" Living ston in Heart O. Pat" Junior play given Saturday night, was easily tn star of the production. AS tht abused and down -trodden husband his speeches brought continua laughter. He gave perfect repre- sentation of the middle-aged travel ling man who stood his wife! crying and nagging for 25 years until, like the proverbial worm, ht turned.
 Josephine Kilburn gave an excel. lent representation of the weeping bawling wife who always broke into spring weather" when there seemed to be some danger that she would not get her own way.
 One of the best bits of acting in the play was performed by Will liam Cashen as Phil Clark, the young lover and business man. He knew just exactly what to do with his hands and they were always expressive of what he was saying His voice was pleasant and there was variety in his tones, His part was not as melodramatic as some of the others and therefore harder to portray but he succeeded in talk ing the role with distinction ta himself.
 Bernice Edwards had one of the spectacular parts in the play-that of Gladys Livingston, the over bearing, quarrelsome sister. Both her gestures and her voice suited the actions she represented. Der nice has a splendid voice, which she used to advantage. changing it as the meaning of her speeches de- manded.
 In the role of Patricia Livingston t he neglected younger daughter Vieno Wahto committed herself very well. She made a very pretty Patsy who triumphed in the end winning Phil, the man she loved in spite of the opposition of hei sister.
 Although cast in a minor part Harry Lundell took the part o1 Billy Marshall with credit to him. self. Ruth Lundell as Peggy Mid. dleton, did a good bit of acting although her short part did not give her much opportunity to dis play her histrionic ability. Angus Gair as the tough taxi driver, TriI Busty, was splendid. Tauno Nie mi, as Francis Patrick O'Flanni gan, portrayed very well "tha common lawyer"
 The stage was very attractivel, decorated as living room. Al upholstered davenport and chai added much to the appearance o the scene. Heavy velvet drape hung at the stairway entrance il the center back.
 l Special mention should be mad of the makeup. Several of tn characters were middle-aged am their makeup made them seem tha even though young boys and girl took the parts.
 After the performance the Juni ors presented Mrs. Elton Engstron who coached the play, with sil yer and pyrex baking dish, in ap preciation for her work in direct ing Heart O. Pat"

 Teddy, this girl came over i'll while she was showing a frock for me. I think she is very i'll indeed, and am going to take her home, and keep her with us for few days if she will stay"
 Good egg" said Teddy, not vast ly surprised.
 Will you carry her out for me, Teddy?"
 Sure, I'll carry her.. said Teddy. He went down on his knees. bent over Jacqueline, lifted her and looked in her still white face.
 And for a moment his heart stood still; and then his heart throbbed like motor.
 "Jacqueline. my dear" he said under his breath. Thank God have found you"
 Then he stood upright, holding Jacqueline in his arms as If she were a child.
 Through the long sale rooms, un- der the curious and excited eyes o1 the girls, he walked slowly anc carefully, carrying her and looking down into her pale still face. Lady ,Montrose followed behind
