The exquisite creature wha had made Peter Darow instantly self-conscious forward Quickly, She had discarded her new voice, spoken in the prim, precise tones of the Vera Cameron that her aunt knew. "Vee-Vee's voice!" Flora gasped, 'ateadying herself against Jerry Macklyn's willing arm. "Who are you?" she demanded wildly. "I'm Vee-Vee, of course," Vera laughed, "Have 1 changed so very much, Aunt Flora?" she exulted. "Changed? Good heavens! Peter! Peter! Never mind the ammonia! Peier, do you know who this is?" she demanded, dramatically entirely re.avered from her threatened faint. "Do you recognize her?" Peter Darrow, out of breath, from running, confronted the girl and stared at her blankly for a long mo- iment, then color flooded his boyish face as he stammered, "No, Flora-- but I'd like to meet her!" "That," Flora announced, point- ing a shaking forefinger, "is Vera Victoria Cameron! I can't believe it! I simply can't! Turn around slowly and let me look you over, darnug. Vee-Vee, smiling brilliantly, pi- rovetted on the toe of a smart French pump. But it was at the girl's lovely face that her aunt gazed open-mouthed with incredulous admiration. The heavy eyebrows were gone, and in their place were two narrow brush- strokes of silky, copper-colored Lrows, that enchanted with their failure to match each other, "Take off your hat!" her aunt commanded her breathlessly, Vee-Vee's smile deepened. She lifted, very carefully, the swagger little hat, and revealed a head from which masses of mousy-brown hair had heen cut. Perfect!" Flora Cartwright sigh- ed, clasping her hands ecstatically. "My dear, how did you ever do it? I swear I would never have known you, and I'm still not convinced that it's really Vee-Viee Cameron." "I didn't do it," Vee-Vee laughed. "It was Jerry Macklyn, Pygmalion, take your bow!" "I had good marble to work with, Galatea," Jerry grinned. "We mustn't forget Kitty Proctor and Peach Bloom," Vee-Vee remind- ed him, "Oh, Aunt Flora, it will take hours to tell you all about it, and I don't want to cheat poor Pe- ter out of his evening with you, I'm tired, too. I didn't get my bob and my permanent until this afternoon, and then Kitty and I--she's the Peach Bloom demonstrator with whom I've been living while the transformation was being wrought-- had to dash all up and down Fifth Avenue looking for this engemble, Mr, Macklyn was with us. He insis- ted on helping to choosé the cos- tume.," "This fool girl doesn't know a thing about clothes," Jerry Mack- lyn chuckled. "I guess it's up to you and me, Mrs. Cartwright, to see that she doesn't backslide and get all wound up in one of those black shrouds of hers." "Well," sald Vee-Vee eoolly, set- tling herself on the couch, "you are going to have a bigger job than you'd bargained for. For I may as well tell all of you right now that I'm going to take my vacation the last half of June and that I'm going to Lake Minnetonka--" "Lake Minnetonka?" Flora Cart- wright echoed with amazement. "Are you planning to stay at the Minnetonka Hotel, Vee-Vee Camer- on?" "Nothing else but," Vee-Vee re- plied flippantly. "But, Vee-Vee, do you realize how expensive the Minnetonka Ho- tel is? It's the swankest summer hotel in New York state. And you'll ned a complete outfit of summer resort clothes--"' "Exactly!" Vee-Vee agreed. "That's where youn and Jerry--I mean Mr. Macklyn--come in. As he says, I don't know a thing about ~lothes--" "I'm afraid you don't know how expensive they are, especially the kind you pow require," her aunt sal da little tartly. "It will cost you a fortune, my dear." "I'm going if fit takes every cent I have, and I'm going with a wardrobe that will be entirely ap- propriate, even for the Minnetonka "Now I kmow you're VeeVee," Flora Cartwright laughed.

"I'll do anything you want me to, Vee-Vee," Jerry Nackiyn sald gruffly, but his blue eyes were al- most somber with foreboding. Continued There were quite a number of people who told the writer sometime ago that a returned soldier's organ- ization' was a dead number in Osha- wa. Then again it has aften been proved that quite a number of peo- ple can be wropg in their guess in their quess, as there were some- thing like 15,000 wrong in the guess of how far a car would go in 103 hours in Oshawa last week. There is ample proof each Thursday even- ing that someone was wrong regard- mg returped men, particularly, when new members are initiated ten in one evening! The great pity of the past was that the actions of one or two were taken to be evidence of the returned men of Oshawa in gen- eral. There are ideals of service to their fellow man, which spur some men on to strive in the face of all sorts of opposition, and words of Congratulation from some very un- expected quarters are rays of sun- shine, The splendid tributes paid to our Pipe Band give those inter- ested in the local Legion Post a feel- ing of satisfaction, particularly those of comrades who have not shown the interest expected before, There is something vast about this British Empire Service League, and Oshawa is just a small drop in the bucket, yet the first in Canada to have an organized band under the name of the Canadian Leglon; sure- ly their dress should be as correct as possible under the circumstances. And it can be done so easily, as the fund was started by members of the local Post, and $14.00 was donated in an hour or two. The band will represent Oshawa wherever it goes, it should look like Oshawa, Spick and Span and Prosperous--help us advertise Oshawa. Additional sub- scriptions to the Fund we are pleas- ed to report as follows.--Previously acknowledged, $152.50. Geo. Me- Taggart $10.00; Com. J. A, Mc-Gib- bon $5.00; Com. A. L. Bouckley $5.00; Com.
