"Walt until summer then you can

his answer to my request. -

I think Ile sensed something of m

“One would think I was an infant

If there had been any other wo-

men ol' my age ill tho set to which Everett belonged I wouldll’t have been so noticeably young. But most of them had duugllters my ago wllo were still in scllool, or considered too young to be “out."

I had hoard people say they hated

to grow old. 'l was constantly wish- ing I were older; lnorc like the scif- containell, poised woman with whonl Everett, and consequently I, asso- ciated. It seemed to me that wheth- er onc could bc llltppy about olle’s ago or not depended on one’s cllvi- ronmcnt.

we selected a soft clillging stuff for my dinner gown. 'I`o my disgust Everett turned to the dcsigllernllll said:

“Bc sure you nluke Mrs. G1‘al\aln’s

"ll/'itat did you tell hcl' that for?"

“Tell hor wlult'!" I-lc hall alreud

As usual his tollc and manner pre-

vented lnc from saying more, but it did noi. prcvcllt mc pointing.

Everett seldom joked, but when llc llili llc was so comical I coullin't llclp laughing evcll if I felt cross.

I had wonllcred all the lnorning if

I was to Ilavc Lcola`s sapphires. I soon follnli out that he hall no sucll intention. llc bought mc a darling hlappllirc and diamond bl‘ucclot, and u wonderful sapphire penlillnt.

Tlley cost as llluch us i`u.lllcr splcnt in a your for the entire family. ut I had become accustonlcll to Ever- ctt's iilllrruiity by this tilllc. At ilrst I had tllougllt of it as extravugallce

onos like Everett, often made quick turns ill till: stock lllarket which brought them in ll great liolll of money; llnll which they spent as ell:-lily ns it value.

I was lleligllloli with my lovely

sapphlrl~s. What girl wollllill‘t bc? I really hull lllwllys lovcll ibut sllllllll of blue. it was'sinlply my fooling that Ilcolu had worn it that nllldll lllc object to wullrillg it.

Everett had me set him

"Mr, Graham loves this color," I

said after a while in hopes that I might draw them out to say some- thing ubout those other sapphires, 'file always wants me to wear it." ‘

Neither ' said ,,anythlng, and I

caught a fleeting glance of a look Mrs. Gray bent on Iietty. llid it moan that she, Ilctty, wus to say nothing of her about Leola’s things? I-lad Everett told Mrs. Gray that was not to be enlightened? Ifow

wished I knew.

I put the sapphires away withou again looking at them. Someway I always resented the fact that I was never to kllow about this other wo- man; the wife whom ` Everett had loved.

EMPLOYERS,

EMPLOYMENT SERVICE I

` ' or CANADA -

The PROFESSIONAL and BUSINESS ‘SECTION

has been established to assist professional, business and technical men and women. .

Many officers, soldiers, sailors and war workers, who

sacrificed their positions during the war, now desire to secure employment in the occupations for which they have been specially trained. _

Employers should not wait until increasing business

forces them to employ anybody they can obtain, but should look ahead and aoail themselves of this unusual opportunity to enlist the services of highly trained workers, ordinarily secured only with difficulty. On application there can be referred to you, for example :-

ENGINEERS ARCHITECTS

BUSINESS EXBCUTIVFS

ACCOUNTANTS

‘ SECRETARIFS .

TEACHERS YOUNG COLLEGE GRADUATES

These workers are retuming to civil occupations with

increased initiative, a broader view of life, and a greater capacity for work.
