Through Jimmy Janet has met Mildred Warren, his sister, and is sitting to her for a portrait. Mil- dred has a beautiful apartment, furnished for her by her million- aire father, and Janet cannot help contrasting Adelaide's ornate ishings with the quiet good taste of Mildred's. Janet also wonders whether Adelaide knows that Butch earns his money from bootlegging. Butch is to be away during Janet's vacation and Ade- laide tells Janet she must look in on the Blue Butterfly, a night club, from time to time to see that all is going well. A New Acquaintance Janet packed a small bag a few ev mings later and moved over to Ade jaide's apartment. She felt rather guilty because she had not told Jinuny of her plans, and resolved to telephone him the next day and tell him where she would be. When she arrived she found Adelaide's eyes red from weep- ing. % can't help it," Adelaide mourned, "1 always cry when Butch goes pway. It makes me so blue to have him gone" Her voice trailed off wind she stood twisting a lacy hand- terchief in her hands, "Never mind," Janet comforted her He'll soon be back, and méantime Barbara Webb ; Copyright by Public Ledger you and I--a bachelor girl and a widow=~will have a big time." "Don't," Adelaide shuddered, "don't talk that way. I can't bear the idea of being a widow." The two friends exchanged a long look and Janet knew then that Adelaide 'was fully cognizant of Butch's occupation, ut they did not speak of it, Janet ut her arm around Adelaide and ey walked together into the room Janet was to occupy during her vaca- tion. 'Later, rested and dressed in thin clothing, they sat talking in the living room, "Let's go some place," Adelaide proposed, "I'll get Bates to bring the car around. We might stop in at the Blue Butterfly for a cool drink. I know Tony, the manager there, you know, and Butch told him I'd be looking out for things while he was away." 4 Janet agreed, and presently, wear. ing a thin black chiffon dress that she had made for herself, she sat with Adelaide in the car, slipping noise. | lessly through the summer night to- ward the Blue Butterfly, Adelaide looked admiringly at her friend. "I don't know how you do it, Janet. 1 wag with you when you bought that remnant of chiffon, remember? And there wasn't enough for a dress and you hunted around until you found that short length of black to'go with it. It surely does look lovely on you." Janet stretched out a slender arm showing dimly through the thin sleeve and watched the rufile of lace at her waist fall into place. "I think it looks nice," she observed. "It ought to. I made it all by hand and bound each seam with silk seam bipdi it took me nights and nights to finish it." "I wish you'd let me give you some pearls to wear with it," Adelaide said, wistfully. "Not a big string, just some small even ones to wear arotind your throat, They'd be stunning with that dress and that hat with a drooping brim." Janet shook her head. "Never a pearl," she said, squeezing Adelaide's hand. John Westlake | They went slowly up the steps of | the Blue Butterfly, and Janet was in- i troduced to Tony, thé club's mana. ger. He escorted them to a small table and ordered drinks for the three of them, "It's pretty quict tonight," he said while they were waiting for the drinks. "Two of our hostesses are away, sick, and we've got a rich old bird coming in later who likes to be entertained." "Oh, they're the girls wé pay a salary to, so that when some man from out of town comes in and wants a prétty girl at his table, they can entertain him.

'Well, she was a swell little Cuban girl who used to work for us. Some rich old daddy from Akron came in here one night and fell hard for her. Gave her presents, took her around and so on, and then right out of a clear sky he married her. Took her back to Al to live. They say she's crazy about him too, Butch had a letter from her the other day." "Who's the old boy who wants to be entertained this evening?" Ade- laide asked curiously. "Some fellow from way out West, Wisconsin or some place ~-- he's a funny guy. He told me last night he'd like to meet a quiet girl who'd go to dinner and the theatre with him and he'd treat her straight." He made his money in lumber it seems and he's got barrels of ite=name's John West. lake and he looks like a real decent old bird." Adelaide's. eyes sparkled. "Listen, Tony, let's get him'to make a four- e. Janet might like him; she's looking, for a rich husband, aren't you, anet ?" Janet flushed, "Not that kind,' she tried to say lightly, But Tony up, grinning at Adelaide, "Here he is now=-1'll bring him over." He returned in a moment, bringing in tow a big outdoor-looking man with white hair and very bright blue eyes. "I want you to meet Mrs, Krause= she's the wife of the man who owns this place, Mr. Westlake, and a friend of her's, Miss Lane. We thought you might like to join us for a drink." Tony made the ghesentation and Janet found herself shaking hands with Mr, Westlake. "I'd love to join you for a drink," he said, and Janet thought he had the deepest voice she had cver heard a man use. "What are the ladies having 2" "I always drink gin," Adelaide said. "And 1 always drink orangeade or ginger ale," Janet. said demurely. "Plain ginger ale?" Westlake asked in surprise, looking at her glass. "Plain ginger ale," Janet repeated, smiling at his evident surprise at meeting a girl in the Blue Butter. fly who refused anything stronger than soft drinks. "I think I'm going to like you," Westlake sald. "Let's get better ace quainted." *¢ Janet could not resent his words, and prescatly found herself listening with real interest while he told her about his miles and miles of timber lands, the long lonely rides on horse back to his various mills,.. the hard outdoor life he led most of the year, with this one trip to New York in the summer to stand out as a bright spot through the dreary winter. "I'ye often wished I could take some nice little girl back with me," he concluded, "when I was younger I was too busy to marry. Now that I've made some money I can't find the girl I want--I guess I'm hard to suit. I'd like a smart New York gis who knew how to step out and wear her clothes, but I want her fo like her home and be good to me, too. guess that kind of a girl is pretty hard to find." "Oh, 1 don't kmow," Adelaide drawled, "you've described Janet to a T. She's like that and always has been." "I'll bet she is, I'll just bet she is," Westlake said, devouring Janet with his eyes. . The Roof Garden They spent an hour at the Blue Butterfly and then Westlake urged them to be his guests at a roof garden where there was a midnight show, "Not for me," Adelaide declared, "I promised my husband I'd be, oh, so I'm going to catch up with all my back sleep [ these next two weeks. Janet can go, though, if she likes." "Will you, Miss Lane?" he asked gy 4 Th anet hesitated. There was n a h po except this silly feeling that Jiwar wouldn't like it, Jimmy would be hurt. After all, Jimmy had no right to interfere if she wanted t6 go to a roof garden with Westlake -- she smiled brightly and said she would love to go. Adelaide offered to drive them there in her car. "You can get a taxi when You get ready to come home," she sald. Janet felt a queer reluctance at bidding Adelaide ggod-by, and West- lake seemed to realize this. "Don't you be a mite uneasy, Miss Lane," hé said. "I know a nice girl when I meet one, @nd I think I'm a |, lucky old boy to have met you to- night.

He was like a child, long starved for toys, unable to select the gold from the glitter when his playtime came. By the time they ar- rived at Adelaide's apartment Janet was sure of one thing. If she wanted to let him, John Westlake would fall violently in Jove with her, with all the recklessness fd a middle-aged man who covets a bit of youth and beauty for his own. To Be Continued Tomorrow FORMER EXECUTIVE 15 REELECTED (Continued from Page 1) erson, J. C. Young, R. B. Bennett and F, W. Cowan. The executive will meet om Thursday, Feb. 6, to elect the of- ticers for the year. President's Address In & brief address, the presidont, H. P. Schell, reviewed the work of the society for the year, and announced that a new system of financing the society was being considreed. Instead of paying the society at a certain sum per head for children in the shelter, the eity council and county council were to be asked to consider taking the full responsibility for the financial operation of the Institution, in- stead of only partial obligation as fn the past. The society would then not have to depend on the uncer- tainty of public subscription and face a deficit each year ae in the past four years, Mr. Schell said. The county council had lent a "avorabl ear to the society's propos- al, and it was to be placed before city council, with the hope that the finance committees of both bodies would get together and dis- cuss the problem, Mr, Schell inti- mated. The New Shelter The president dwelt at consid- erable length on the new shelter. The ola one had beon overcrowded for two years, lie said, and it was a wise move to proceed with the securing of adequate quarters so that the moral lives of the children 1 [could be cared for, that the build. ing was proceeded With, While not as largé as many other chil dren's shelters, it would accom- modate 25 children, which was more than the shelter should have to take care of for many years to come. Reference was made by the 'speaker to the fact that the new building was absolutely fireproof, and that the isolation hospital wing could be entirely separated from the rest of the institution, provid- fog accommodation for any chil dren suffering from contagious dis- case and also a place where new children could be isolated until all fear of contagion was removed. "There is a danger that chil- dren's shelters in the province may become orphan asylums rather than clearing houses for children, unless the provincial governmont takes speody action," declared Mr. Schell. The shelter was burllened with unplaceable children, and & special institution should' be pro- vided for these by tho province without delay. remair in the shelter more than six months before going into some private home," he said. A resolution of thanks was x0 tended to the shelter building com- mittée, which comprised T. H, Hv- erson, Mayor Mitchell, H. P, Scholl, C. Schofield, A. G, Storie, J. A. Bickell and Dr. T. W. G. McKay. Society Agent's Report The repw t of the superintencent, O. M. Alger, read as follows: "To the President and Board of Management: Ladies and Gentlemen: An aimost continuous stream of in- formation comes t> us from public official Social organizations of varie ous kinds, sympathetic observers, ncighbors, relatives aud [riends Jir- ecting our thought and attention to conditions inimical to the fives of scores of children throughout our county and this etiy.

There 18 a spirit of selfish: ness on the part of the parents we come in contact with, an unwilling: ness on their part to make or even acknowiedge any sacrifice associated with parenth and with the pro- per Teme of [hdren. "I am conyinced that what we need in this country is not so much a lar- ger increase of our population through immigration but ' greater care and supervision by parents gen- erally in their homes and by all the varied orgamzations ¢ d in the teaching, tramni and ership of young Capada. If we fail with the voys and girls that are now mem- vers of our homes and citizens'of out country, how may we hope to survive as a true Canadian people when thou- sands more from lands and countries foreign to ours in:l e, habits, customs," motives, morals and ideals swell our numbers? "l want to say right here, that a very larga number of our very best citizens are giving unstintingly of their time, money and service in ber half of the work of the Children's Aid Societies of the Province and through the. Dominion, but there are so many more, who, I am sure, if they really understood the social and moral conditions in the midst of which they live that they too would ¢ forward and help in a direct and' personal way, in this great un dertaking. The Children's Aid So: ciety is rendering an invaluable ser- vice to this County and City. Its value in the development of charac- ter cannot be estimated in mere money, Grateful for Ald "We are very grateful indeed for the apy ways in which the people of both County and City have extended not only their sympathy dnd moral support but have made generous contributions of money, clothing and food for the carrying on of the work. "Several citizens have provided handsome bequests through their wills and this money has helped very materially in the building of our new and splendid Children's Home. The six acre site for this fine structure was the generous gift of Mr, J. D Storie: and the end is not yet, for we believe, that other generous hearted and far visioned souls will see that all the work thus auspici- cusly started will be carried on to a successful conclusion, The 'men comprising our County and City Councils have not' been de- relict in their duties and obligations | ip this regard and have stood behind ! our work. { Services Freely Given The medical men of both County and City have given freely of their services in connection with the shelter and also in cases brought to their attention throughout the Coun- ty. The dentists and public health nurses have also had a large share in this ministry. 'The various officials of County and City, the magistrates, lawyers and scores of others have also given val- uable assistance making for efficien~ cy in the application and working out of all measures govetning the work of the Society. Crown Attorney J. A, McGibbon has been most generous of his time, counsel, sympathy and practical sup- port, taking a deep personal interest in all departments of our work. We are not unmindful too of the very kindly and sympathetic interest taken in our work by Majer A. F, Hinds, who has been incapacitated from discharging his duties on the bench because of physical disabilities following his patriotic participation in that last great world struggle of horrible, yet immortal memory and we all wish him a speedy return to | home and bench, in completely re- stored health. We have received much assistance | and very helpful counsel! from Mr. | J. J. Kelso, Provintial Superintendent | of our organization and his splendid | staff at the Parliament Buildings, The Shelter Committee Too much praise cannot be accord- our Shelter committee for the splendid work it is doing. This cam- mittee consists of all the ladies of | the Board working under the leader- Sip of Mrs, E. W, Drew. They arc certainly the most active zommittee we have. They give a close and per. sonal supervision ot the shelter ad- ministration. Everything that they can do to make the shelter a real home for the kiddies is done and no visitor can go from that place with. out realizing the wonderful work be- ing done for girls and boys, who have no homes or who have come from very indifferent homes. We cannot complete our, report without Jing a few words for our matron, Miss Colver. The committee with Miss Colver make a wonderfully effective group. Miss Colver knows how to care for and handle children, This is shown in their ready respon siveness to her requests and in the general atmosphere of happiness and fREnesation pervading this Children's ome.
