PAGE, SEVEN fish 1 : 1 FiERLRERSE HAL only a clerk in the garage, is fur. ther astonished on arriving home A Beau For Janet . Janet was still staring at her mother when her father came into the room ready for supper. "Tell her about it yourself, oJhn Thomas," Mrs. Lane demanded. "About what?" he asked, his mind on his supper. "About that young fellow, James Warren; coming to supper tomorrow night, of course," Janet's mother re- plied impatiently. 4 "Oh, that. Well, there isn't much to tell--get ready for supper, Janet, and Pll tell you about it while we cat." He seated himself at the table ns he spoke and Janet ran upstairs to wash and brush her hair. When they were seated and the peef stew apportioned, Mr. Lane rfatr another prompting by his wife, began his tale. % ¢ "Tt was after the morning rush this morning, about 10 o'clock, you know, whe neverybody has gone to work rnd we don't get busy until the noon time, that' I got to talking with young Warren. I knew that he'd been out with Addie last night, you sce, so I just asked him if lie had a good time with her. So he said yes, he did, but h& wasn't sure whether she enjoyed herself or not." . Mr. Lane helped himself to more végetables and continued: "So I told him I guessed she did, Addie always had a good time, but she was a pretty high stepper. Then he said he'd like to sec more of you, Janet, and I told him you were a pretty quiet, homey sort of girl and he said that was the kind' of girl he liked. So one thing led to another, and I asked him if he'd like to come over some evening; vou were mostly at home anyway. 'hen he said he'd like to come, and iow about tomorrow. T said that was all right with me, and then I thought since we get through work together end. all, it would: be nice if he'd just come along home with me to cat. He seemed mighty pleased that I asked him, and so he's coming with me to- morrow night." Anticipation . Mr. Lane had told his story with relish, and it flashed through Janet's mind that their existence was cer- tainly dull if the mere fact of a young stranger's coming to supper could create such excitement. "You might say you were pleased, 1 think, Janet," her mother's voice broke into the girl's thoughts. "Oh, 1 am resol" Janet cried. "It was awfully kind of Dad to ask him to supper. I'll try to come home a little early so I can help you, mother." al "I 'don't need any help to get a company supper," Mrs. Lane said tartly. "But I do think you might come home and change your dress. I thought I'd have fried chicken and a custard pie and plenty of mashed po- tatoes and a salad, and there's jelly too, left from last summer, my last glasg of currant jelly. Then I'll have hot biscuits--" She paused,' noting the expression on Janet's face. "What's the matter, Janet? Isn't' that a fine enough meal?" Janet smiled at her mother and reached over to pat the work-worn hand. "I think it's too fine, mother dear, I think it would be better if we just had our regular meal, with maybe one of your lovely custard pies for dessert. I think maybe he'd feel more at home if he didn't see that fad been fussing and fixing for him." Migs. Lane sniffed and Mr. Lane cheered aif the prospect of a good dinner, told her he thought her mother knew best about such: things. So Janet held her. peace, resolving only that she would make no unusual effort to impress the coming guest. She escaped to her room' after she had helped her mother with the dishes. There she took out her pre- cious book and turned its pages. It seemed ta her that the book stood for one 'thing, the important thing, in her life, while her mother's plans, James Warren, Adelaide, were all op- sed to her dreams. She hardened fo thoughts against everything but the achievement of her ideals and went to sleep in a mood that boded a | p: cool welcome for James Warren the next night, When Janet woke early the next morning she heard her mother already stirring in the house and knew that a great cleaning an ning and_usting was going for- he 4 g 0 "Poor mother," she mused to het- self. Then she realized that in such \| stood a little embarrassed behind the | d|and woul 'By Barbara Webb simple things her mother's only leasures lay and she was torn etween sympathy for the older woman and the resolve to treat James Warren coldly, "It will make mother unhappy if 1 am"hot nice to him," she thought. "So perhaps this one time Pll try to be extra nice in every- thing I do and say--and wear." This resolution "heartened her and she went through her dressing and morn- ing preparations cheerfully. After breakfast she stopped for a sleepy. Adelaide, who was applying rouge with one hand and holding a cup of strong coffee in the other. "Good time last night?" Jane asked. "Swell. Butch is the berries--golly but my feet hurt. I wore some new slippers and pretty near danced a py through the toes. I hear you're having company for supper tonight." + Janet flushed a little. "Yes, dad is | 4 bringing your boy iriend home after work." Adelaide put the coffee down and applied herself entirely to her make-up. "Don't call him my boy friend. He's too cold. I'm going out again with Butch tonight; we ound the hottest little night club you ever hope to see last night and we re going back before they close it up. All the way to work Adelaide chat- tered of Butch and the fun they had had. Janet was glad she said nothing more about James. Adelaide had quite sincerely meant that he did not interest her and was too absorbed in her own affairs to give much thought to Janet's. During the day Janet went through her work with" a rising sense of excitement. She had asked permis- sion to leave at 5 instead of 5:30. When she got ready to leave Adelaive waved her hand and called out, "Watch your step; don't do any- thing I wouldn't do," and Janet waved back, aware that she had flushed when other eyes in the office turned toward her. : Home, after a crowded, pushing half hour in the subway to a house that fairly shone with cleanliness and smelled divinely of fried chicken and fresh baking. Janet had stopped at a nearby florist to buy a tiny bunch of violets, which she gave her mother for the dining table. "I declare that's real nice of you, Janet," her. mother said approvingly. "I've been so busy I didn't even think of getting any flowers. Now you run up and change your dress and get fixed up before they come; they ought to be here a little after 6. I guess. 3 Arrival : Janet did as she was told, choosing a very simple dark-blue crepe dress with a flesh-colored vestee and collar and cuffs. She put on black patent leather slippers instead of the oxfords she wore to the office, brushed her hair until it shone, and decided against any rouge. As she was finish- ing her dressing. Mrs. Lane came in. She looked speculatively at her daughter. "I thought maybe you'd put on a party dress," she said. "Not for tonight, mother. I'll have to save some ammunition for the next time--" her smile robbed her words of an ysting, and Mrs. Lane, who realized that Janet really did look very pretty, went on to her room to change her own house dress for her best one of black crepe de chine. Janet started down the stairs hum- ming toherself, and paused halfway down as the front door opened. There was a light at the head of the stairs that threw her hair into soft relief, while - another light in the lower hallway lighted her face and | outlined her slim figure. To the young man entering the doorway she | seemed a lovely vision, lovelier be- cause she was so unconscious of the picture she made. Only a moment's pause, then she was coming quickly down to him, her hand outstretched. "It's awfully nice of you tocome, Mr. Warren," she said, letting her hand rest in his. "Hello, dad. Tired? Busy day?" This for her father, who «| room. young man. | "Feeling fine, Janet. Where's your | mother? T'll just go and find her and | let you young people get acquainted," and be brushed past her up the stair- | way, leaving Janet to guide James | into the living room, with its ugly, | old-fashioned' furniture. Janet chose | a low chair by the window, the only | really comfortable chair in the room, while James found a place on the] sofa, a high, hard affair covered with | plush, { "Dad likes having you with him very much, Mr. Warren," Janet said, feeling a little panicky at having to make conversation. "T like being with him," the young man said heartily, "I appreciate his asking me home to dinner with you immensely. 1 hope I'm not intrud- ing on any of your pals tonight." "I never have any very important plans," Janet told him smilingly. "Mother is coming in--" she. rose to make the .introductions, noticing as she did so James' casy, cordial manner, his lack of embarrassment, his hands, clean and well cared for in spite of the work he did at the filling station. i They got on surprisingly well at | supper. James talked easily and drew her father and mother out, seeming to realize that a guest was a rare treat to them. Janet he left pretty much to herself, and she found her- self pleased at his thoughtfulness in getting her mother and father to talk. But when the meal was over and Janet had offered to help with the dishes and had. her offer reiused there came a scene that sent the hot color to the girl's cheeks, "You go entertain Mr. Warren, Janet," her mother said. "And you John Thomas, come out here and dry the dishes for me." "I'm pretty tired, Marie," he pro- tested, mildly astonished at this un- usual request from his wife, who ordinarily would not let him step into her clean' kitchen. : | 5 "I'm tired, too," she said sharply, and" you ought to kow cough ot to bother Janet when she has com- any," i "I thought we were the ones that had the company," he said, still in a tone of protest. "Why don't you let the dishes sit a while?" "I'll do no such thing," she began would have gone on with her scolding, but James put in a sugges- on. "I'm sure said, "Why 3 are both tired" he on't you cither rest or ' | gone that Janet d Copyright by Public Ledger ge out for a walk or something, and iss Lane and I will do the dishes? I'll promise not to drop anything-- there's a very good movie at the neighborhood house tonight, that is if you don't mind leaving Miss Lane here with me." Janet, too miserable over her mother and father's quarfel to say anything, waited for her mother's answer, Mrs, Lane looked from. one to the other, then her face' relaxed into a smile. "1 don't mind" if we do go, John Thomas," she said, "You'll be care- ful with the china, won't you, Janet?" "Very careful, mother," Janet said, relieved that peace had been restored relieved that peace had been restored. And prsently she heard her father and mother leave, talking amicably of some happening in the house that ay. "Suppose we start playing Darby and Joan and get this job over quickly," James said to her, starting toward the kitchen with a pile of plates. "All right, I'll wash them and you dry them. Then I'll put them away, for 1 know just where everything be- longs," Janet answered. A ous Ev She tied one of her mother's aprons over her dress, rolled her sleeves to the elbows and went to work 'with a will. Soon the task, begun in'em- barrassment on Janet's part, grew into a 'pleasure. The ice was thor- oughly broken by the time the last plate was dried, and Janet found she was really having a good time. They left the kitchen in spotless order and and wandered back to the living "Shall we sit here and talk, go for a walk, or got to 'the movies our- selves?" he asked. 5 "Which would you rather do?" "If you don't mind, I'd like to stay and talk with you," he told her. "I don't mind a bit if you're sure it won't bore you," : "I'm very sure," he told her, and Janet was thankful that he did not add an inane ocpliment to his speech. "Then here we stay. Do you mind if I get some sewing? I'm making a birthday present for my mother and I can work on that while we talk." He waited while' she went to get her work, and there began an hour that both of them remembered for a long time. To the man, the graceful figure of the girl, sitting under the light, taking fine stitches in a "scarf she was embroidering for her mother, was an emblem of home, of all that he admired in women. To the girl, the tan who sat smoking and talking to her created an illusion of home that seemed to illumine the shabby room and turn it into something beautiful, "You really like staying at home?" he asked her when she had returned with her work. "I really like if--only," here she paused and looked at him, wondering if he would understand, "only some- times I wish I had a more beautiful home." He nodded comprehendingly. "I know, something with more room and maybe some fine old furniture, and different curtains, and" -- he stopped himself, not wishing to criti cize her surroundings. But she only flashed a warm smile at him and took up his wolkls, "And flowers and books all around and deep rugs on shiny #loors." She stopped and looked at the ugly brown paint at the edges of the flowered rug. "Mother does all she can, but she 'hasn't very much to work with." They seemed to understand each other and Janet did not want to talk more about her home just then--it was too intimate a sigbject for her to discuss freely, bound up as it was with her dearest dreams. He scemed to sense her withdrawal from they subject. "What do you do?" he asked next. "Pound the type writer in an insur- ance office," she told him. "I like my work. It isn't very exciting, but everybody in the office is nice and get along pretty well, I've been there four years now." "You must have started when you were a mere baby," he said, smiling at her and thinking of how young and sweet she looked. "How do you like what you doing?" she asked. He liked it very much, it seemed, and he talked enthusiastically of her father and his kindness to a green hand. It was not until after he had realized he had talked very little of himself. Jt seemed to Her, too, thinking of it later, that he had learned a great deal about herself, her schooling, her | friendship with, Adelaide, her ideas | about things. They were still talking when they heard Mr. and Mrs, Lane coming up the steps. Janet folded her work quickly. are "It's to be a surprise for mother," she half whispered, and somehow the | sharing of even this little secret seemed to bring them closer together. "See a good show, mother?" Janet | asked, | "Very good," Mrs, Lane replied, "I thought maybe you {wo would go out some place." "No, we've been getting acquainted this evening, They settled on a dafe and farewells were said all around. Janet went to bed with a glow in her | heart. He was a nice young man, there could be no doubt of that. She | liked him--she did not let the] thought go any further, For. his part, James Warren was thinking intently of her. Hardly no- ticing what he did, he boarded a sib- way that took him far uptown in New York and went absently 1p the steps of an old brownstone house. Hardly 'the house in which a filling station clerk could be expected to live, but the young man spoke familiarly to the butler who admitted him and asked, "Is, my father still up; Rol- lins ?" "He's in 'the library, sir." "I think Tll go in for a little chat-- he's alone?" 4 - "Yes, sir." + And James Warren vanished hind a talk wit father.

Roads ubec, ajn, 13--Quebec, since 1919, has derived revenue totalling $260,000,000 from American tour- ists, according to figures. tabled in the Legislative Assembly yesterday afternoon by Hon. J. E. Perrault, Minister .0f Highways and Mines, in presenting the department's re- port for 1929, in which year 635,- 000 automobiles from the United States visited the province and their owners spent $61,000,000. The Government in 1929 main- tained 10,195 miles of highways, directly at its own cost, this being an increase' of 1,957 miles aver the figures for 1928. The report, which is a volumin- ous one, draws attention to the year just closed as the record one for construction: in the depart ment, 1,684 miles having been built, 417 on main highways and 1,167 on second and third class roads. At the close of the season there were also 372 miles of work begun, but 'still uncompleted. The year also marked thé opening of the permanent paving program of the Government for which $17,000 was authorized last session to be expended between 1929 and 1934. 124 Miles Paved The period under review saw 124 miles of highway paved and an- another 94 started, out of the 9500 miles provided- for under the plan.- The now boulevard to link up the Montreal-south Shore bridge with the existing highways of the South Shore is especially men- tioned in the report, it being hoped" that it will be ready for traffic' by the end of 1930. Reference is alsc made to the work of grading and curve-bank- ing which is being carried on to meet the increasing démands of modern automobile traffic on a road system originally planned for the horsedrawn vehicles. The grade-crosaing problem, worked out in conjunction with the Railway Commission and the Federal Government at a cost of $300,000 to the province, was tackled by Quebec in 1929, by the elimination of two crossings and the diversion of over 75 per cent. of the traffic from 14 others, which were Jeft in existence for the ac- commodation of neighboring farm- ers. Thirty more crossings are on the deparfment's list for 1930 and will be eliminated. Winter Roads One hundred and twenty-eight miles of winter roads were kept open during the winter season last year, and announcement is made to follow similar procedure again this year in the districts of Mont- real and Quebec and to bring the total up to 175 miles. It is pointed out, however, that should the work be repeated here- after, municipalities will be called upon for contributions thereto at a rate of $100 per mile, which is less than 50 per cent. of the cost. Dealing with the use of the prov- ince's highways, Iir. Perrault's report refers with regret to the number of accidents in the past year, only level-crossings having shown any diminution. It is in- dicated that strict supervision 15] being maintained of automobile traffic on the road system and! that the department is gradually eliminating all hazards not de- pending on the driver himself, The rest, the report says, can only be cured by process of edu- cation, to which the department has been glving attention for sev- eral years. Special reference is made to the tourist industry, which netted the province $61,000,000 in 1929 from the United States alone, with 635,000 American automobiles visiting the province in the first ten months of that year. Of these, 207,000 remained for less than 24 hours, but 428,000 or some 68 per cent, stayed for periods from two days to two months, giving Que- bec firgst place in the ranks of Canadian provinces for dyration of visits by Americans, Data obtained and verified both by the province and by the United States show that American visitors to Quebec have spent $250,000,- 000 here since 1919. Still on Increase Tourist business is stiH on the Department Report Is Tabled by Perreault and Lake St. John are already vir- Yucrease and is = being aided by publicity and propaganda cam- paigns. Ornamental tree-planting for the embellishing of Quebec's roads Is also pointed out as another of the department's activities, 210,000 trees having been supplied, free of charge, from 1922 to 1929. The Government ig also pursuing its movement to eliminate unsight- ly signs' from the highways and adjacent fields and to this ond supplied farmers who wished to whitewash bufldings within 200 feet of highways 1,812,607 pounds of lime for this purpose. Competition jn beautifying road- sides was also encouraged. There are in the province, 32,864 miles of rural roads. The works performed in 1929 brought to 12,602 miles the length of per- manently improved roads. being 38 per cent. of the total length. The main highways system of the province is composed of 50 different arteries with an aggre- gate length of 5,276 miles, of which 4,874 miles is completed, 223 miles is under construction and 179 miles remain to be im~ proved. The whole mileage should be completed by the end of 1930. The netwerk of main highways serves all the districts of the prov- ince. The districts of Chicoutimi tually connected with Quebec by two roads, one'between St. Simeon and Grande Baie and the other through the Laurentian. Park. Tho system serves the Laurentian dis- trict north and west of the St. Lawrence and extends ite branches wherever colonization has penc- trated. It is at most but a few | years since there were hardly any | improyed roads elsewhere than] along tho river. Today, good roads | have been carried to La Tuque, St. Alexis des Monts, St. Michel des Saints, St. Donat, Mont Laurier, St. Anne du Lac, -Maniwaki and Mont- cerf. The higiways serve the Gat- ineau and La Lievere Valleys and | connect, Lachute with St. Jovite| and St. Agathe. They extend along | the Ottawa as far as Chapeau, op- posite Pembroke. Abitibi Highway Abitibi is traversed from east to west by a highway 140 miles long through Macamic and Rouyn. This. region is linked up with Temiscamingue by a 105-mile ar- tery, entirely improved, which is now being prolonged as far as the town of Temiskamingue, 73 miles farther south. Abitibi and Temis- camingue are at present connected with tho centre of the province only through Ontario. | There are now requests for a| connecting link lying wholly with- in the Province of Quebec, via | Maniwaki or Mont Laurier towards | Senneterre or Amos. | This is a vast project, but the development of the province will necepsitate its execution at a per haps not far distant date, The highways south and east of the St. Lawrence, between Mont- real and Queboc, are the nucleus of the network. This part of the| province. being the most thickly | populated, is wervel not only by main highways, but also by a com- | pact system on secondary goads. | The lower St. Lawrence district, | the colonization parishes of the | gouthern counties, the Temiscouta | distriet and the Mattapedia Val- ley, have had their good roads for many years. The belt-line highway of the Gaspe peginsula, completed and inaugurated last summer, has rendered possible touring of the wonderful 'egion of Gaspe and the Baie des Chaleurs. The Magdalen Islands, Isolated in 'the Gulf 600 miles {rom the centre of the province, have also their system of good roads. The development of mining in the province will sive rise to the opening of new roads. In the Ip- terior of the Gaspe Peninsula, where there already exists a road 40 miles long running along the Cascapedia River, the department has had made the survey for a road to run east and west along the ceri{ral axis of the peninsula, The region of Chibougamau and the mining districts of Abibiti and Temiscouata offer as well, from the point of view of construction of new roads, a wide fleld. | SPANISH DICTATOR BLOCKS NEW MOVE Cabinet Ministers Suggest He Call Election Im: mediately STICKS TO PLANS De Rivera Replies Dictator- ship Will Continue Until Summer Madrid, Spain, Jan. 13~Premier Primo De Rivera squelched the other day another move to hasten the end of the dictatorship: by which he and King Alfonso haeg ruled Spain since Sentember, 1923.
