The walk to the pond, which gets the circulation going and warns the lungs of frost in the air. The lighting of a fire designed for light as well as heat, The decep- tively easy change from shoes to skates--the change back will be quite a different matter, confoun- ded by chilled fingers and tangled laces. And there's the talk, the discussion of ice and weather, the local chaff, the winter news and gossip. Then the skating itself, the bite of sharp blades on smooth ice, the sense of speed and freedom, And the ice rhythms that never vanish, once acquired, and never date, They are best, of course, with a skating partner, on a moonlit night, one who knows those rhythms and who hag the instinctive grace of a dancer. Blades flash in the moonlight, and the ice sings, and there is music in the heart, The evening deepens, and the hush is borne in upon even the younger skaters, and the night and the moonlight and the ice be- come all of a piece, beauty that touches the quick of understand- ing. You have come for the night as well as the skating, and now you know it; for here is the night around you, And when at last your stiff fingers have untangled the laces and you are on your way home again, arm in arm, the magic is still there, It's more than a country pond; it's ice, and moonlight, and an old, old song.

Elcock presented a SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1947 _THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE'_ This World We Live In (By the Woman's Editor) A woman who, in her first year as president of a Fifth Avenue de- partment store has increased sales by one-third--it you like it in dol- lars, it is just $10,000,000--has show: 2 Her I am tremendously interested ideas--both my own and other people's," Sesake most of us are salesmen of something or other-- whether it is over the counter or not--we thought Dorothy Shaver's story would be of interest. The idea that started her on the way to success was kewpie dolls, She wna hee Sistes had gone to New rom Arkansas, taking with them little but a good education: she specialized in English, and her in art. She helped put on the market "Five Little Shavers," as her sister's products were called. They "sold like wildfire," Dorothy Shaver now recalls. One of the customers, Lord and Taylor of Fifth Avenue, offered her a job. Twenty~ one years later, she became presi~ dent, and last Sunday she complet- | looks ed her first year in that position, Not a Handicap In an interview by 8. J. Woolf in The New York Times Magazine, she expressed many valuable opinions formed in two decades of salesman- ship. Her sex has been not a handicap but an advantage to her as a salesman, she believes. Her reason? "After all, women make up the Jargest proportion of our shop- pers and a woman is better quali~ fied than a man to know what ap- peals to them." Though femininity may help somewhat, Dorothy Shaver never- theless maintains a woman does not reach the top by trusting to her charm. "Success," says she, "de- pends upon hard work and ability." This applies equally to men, she As to combining homemaking and business careers, she says in no un- certain terms, "Those women who cannot have careers without sacri- ficing their homes should stick: to their homes." * Her first job with Lord and Tay- lor was as head of the comparisons department which had to see what other stores sold and what prices they got. She soon convinced the firm that effort could be spent more profitably developing its own busi- ness and she was sent abroad for this purpose. Wonderful, as the things were which she saw abroad, she believed that just as good things could be made in America if the right kind | dre of designers could be got. "Of course, for a time it was an | b; uphill - fight," Appearance "She wore a dark blue suit and a blue blouse relieved by a broad gold band around her neckline, and large earrings in the shape of flow- ers. On her right arm was 'a brace- let from which hung dozens of col- ored charms. "Her brown hair, brushed smoothly at the side of her head, spreads on top into a wavy Dompasen, Tien eves she gestur- trinkets on her bracelet Jingled." ; This president of one of Pifth Avenue's finest department stores into the future of such stores 2] Lord and love ad forecasts service departments such as kindergartens for children of both customers and employees; large auditoriums for meetings (we won- dered if she or Mr. Woolf knew of the fine auditorium one Toronto store has); new types of restaurants and methods of reducing shopping fatigue. "In short," says she, "the stores of the future will combine business with pleasure." Store buildings in the future may have neither windows nor columns; walls may be movable and elevators radar-controlled, she prophesies. Television will likely pay a part in shopping, she ventures to predict. photographer caught her. At a San.--Thanks to Other Students id Pictured above is Margaret Tate, a medical student at Leeds University who was writing to her husband stationed in South Africa when the In her letters she used a full page for a glowing description of the food at the Sanatorium at Leysin, Switzerland, where she and other tubercular students have been brought by the Inter- national Student Service which supports 200 beds at the International Student Sanatorium at Leysin and rest homes at Cambloux and Rocca di Papa. At present the Barrel of Funds campaign is being carried on at the University of Toronto to raise $13,749, an objective which will require an average of one dollar from each student. The Ajax Division of the University will run a separate campaign, If customers do insist on shopping in person, they will have subterran- ean parking places. Encourage Creativeness Department stores should en- courage creative arts, she believes. Twenty years ago she demonstrated this by arranging an exhibition of French decorative art at Lord and Taylor's, a real innovation, Finally she declares, "Great stores which operate in a country of mass production have a responsibility to increase and develop merchandise of style and indiyiduality." She be- lieves she is reaping now the fruits of this policy. "Women are begin- ning to prefer one good dress to three of inferior quality," she de- At the risk of seeming smug, we are tempted to remark that Can- adians for a long time have had the reputation of preferring "the good 88 to three of inferior quality."

One did not re-read such a poem; one remembered sensatious, an excitement, a strangeness, but it had to do rather with boyhood and schoolrooms and little to do with the world and being grown up. 8 KING E.
