been a day of odd jobs rsfun com- plaints exchanges evwrjlwnxrbsrd- been relatively unimportant and yet everything demanded instant etten tlon had bill kemp been ten years older than he was he would not have taken it so seriously and conse quently would have been nearly as fresh at the end of the day as he wss early in the morning i want said a pair of violet eyes at least bui kemp would have sworn that it was the eyes that spoke so timidly and questionably did they regard htm i want to know it i could do something about my lace hat bill kemp sighed they were such marvelous eyes and then to be mundanely interested in a hat a lluy lace hat well he said gruffly what did you contemplate doing about this lace hat if its been worn it can not possibly be accepted for ex- change or refund the latter words issued mechan ically from his mouth and he won- dered subconsciously how many hundreds of times he had uttered that same sentence sometimes about gloves sometimes about hair goods sometimes about shoes oh it hasnt been worn i came the soft voice again the voice sounded as though it were full of tears and he looked at the violet eyes again sure enough there were large tears there bui kemp steeled himself all woman used tears as a means to an end and he determined that he would not be taken in well go on go on he said as testily as he could yoftfesee i decided last saturday that i could take it its a beau tiful hat oh it was really the most beautiful hat in the whole world i think she said wistfully i looked and looked at it before you know and on saturday i paid a deposit on it a deposit of a dollar i was to take it this saturday but the lips that were soft and pink closed firmly i i believe that i shan t need ii after all and so you want the dollar back again i take it he said tapping his pencil against the desk and re gardlng it coolly oh my no she said softly of course they wouldnt give back the dollar but i went to the millinery department and the clerk said that i had agreed to take it and i would have to finish paying for it- i 1 ihave the money but i will you sit down said bui i kemp rising suddenly wondering why it was that he had not thought of it before i havent been head of i the department long and i am at a loss to understand one thing why do women buy a thing take it home and then run right back here to re turn it the violet eyes crinkled at the corners and the soft pink bps twitched i dont know she con leased u never do myself its not that i probably wouldnt tf i had iy hut i work an so ii alton farmers in 1 urgent nerd of kelt oontlnued from page one up in each of the are unban centres of the county toe keyman tor oeorge- itorwn la clare wilson and his telephone number 1s day phone 195 we join wjth the local committee in urging everyone who can possibly spare the odd day half day or a few hours after supper to phone 186 and register iwith tbe commando brigade statins when he will be avaeble we realb that most local residents are already a muub hea load than normal but nevertheless the most of i the men folk can give a few hours occasionally to h out in a critical situation which is so closely allied with our war effort an eminent german authority stat ed following the war of uq418 that they lost that conflict because they were unable to feed their m livestock population and at the same i time wnoiwtjiip their people let us make sure we do not find ourselves in a similar position this time we have every prospect for excellent crops this yearthey must be saved and in this our urban and rural people have an equal responswhty every urban dweller can play some part in the task at hand if you are not physically able to pitch hay you can perhaps drive the horses for the hay loader the bay fork the hay rake handle a hoe or stook grain for a few hours and thus relieve the farm operator tor xieavter jobs last year we understand from mr whltelock he secured tbe equiva lent of 518 days work from toronto oornmandos these men came from offices factories stores etc and for the most part helped in haying with few exceptions they did an excellent job and the 56 farmers who received thlb help were loud m their praise of the service rendered surely we in georgetown are not going to leave it all to the toronto commandos the painting job on the house the cutting of the lawn the hoeing of our victory garden can be left for a more oppor tune time so lets go local oornman dos back up the boys on the beaches of france by phoning now to 195 and volunteering our services for farm commando work in the district the local bowling green and the golf course can no doubt get along without our i efforts for the time being 124tb anniversary sertioxs heu at boston church on bunday last june 36th

hands he ex- postulated oh no not flower 1 she ex claimed in horrified tones its lace and besides i dont want to leave it on your hands id love to keep it myself only i heard about this mrs benzinger whose husband is in the hospital and whose children are all so small that she cant work it wouldn t be right to wear a lovely hat when they might be hungry if you say i dont have to take the hat i m going to take a basket out there tonight she looked at her watch it s way way out in you run along and get the basket and ill see about the dollar refund then when you get the basket filled come back here and get the dollar and 1 11 take the basket out for you wherever it is you cant be run i ping all over town a girl like you he listened to her words of thanks with an air of abstraction we ought to get a bit of supper at a restaurant first maybe he said nonchalantly quite as though he were in the habit of asking strange girls to eat with him he sent the call boy for the dollar and pulling a card from his pocket wrote down she d like a hat lace later and the violeteyed mrs bill kemp with her stillshiny wedding ring was happily surprised on her birthday a few months later with a round
