They { ) Miss Carroway heard the sentence ihsently, and ticketed three hoges of nose before its full, cruel meaning yie 10 her. Then she started and tured dully after the two smartly dressed young girls walking down the aisle of the depariment store One bad brown hair and a blue velvet haf. The other wore cvpensive black ynx furs snd an aig etted Gains- horough. "Did you ever notice how very old ame of the women clerking in this tore are?" the one gicl had gueried, "Poor things!" Across from the hosiery section was the neckwear, and there a round: 'ounter mirror was tilted. Miss Car roway dazedly giretched herself till the could see her fice, which had ore than gpe furrow, and her hair, shich had more gray than brown. then she went on ticketing hose And as she ticketed, her sure fingers nechanieally doing the work to which they were long accustomed, he thougnt. Old! Why, so she was! She had always been so husy that he never had stoppel to think about the matter before. It seemed now that the days had slipped by in one busy round ever since that memor- able day when she was seven years old and her father had been brought home dead--the resuli of a street car accident, she remembeged dimly. She remembered vividly though, her mother's perplexity over being left with herself and the four vounger children And then she had com- menced to be busy, taking care of the four while her mother worked. She had watched her wiother grow old, and then die. She nad watched the four grow. Two had died before ever having a chance to grow old. The other two had married. She herself had gone to work at: 12 and. had never been able to quit. From 12 to 20 it had been hard, poorly paid work. 'She * hadn't minded. Always under the daily monotony lay the dormant expectation that some day things would be different. Some- how, some time, she had settled into the rut. Monday slipp+i to Saturday, week after week. The years were dotted only by the meager brightness of Sundays, when she could stay at home and neadn't get up till 8 o'clock and needn't fix her Lair trim. And now home was only a room in a dingy old rooming house. She had known the landlady almost since she was 12. Her mother, before she grew old and died, had known her. Until now she had thought herself for- tunate to have a plac so nearly a real home. Some girls at the store 'omplained of landiadies who 'were disobliging. At the thought a slow red came over her cheeks. Giris! What a mockery to use the word, gyen though it had been from .forca of habit that she #0 inclnded hersel' and not from any silly claim to youth. She never could call herself a gir!.-- she had never really been a girl. She always had been waiting to be one! And work ---steady, unceasing work --ex- cept on Sundays had aid the gray cerement of old age over what should have been girlhood. Why, she had been old when she was 12! Then she remembered that the commenting girl had said "old wo- men," She looked around at the ad- jacent sections. There was Miss: Aadley in the lace department. She was 35. Her hair was gray, too But it was a brisker, smarter gray. No, the girl hadn't meant Miss Had- ley Her gaze went from Section to sec- tion. In the notions wes Mrs, Frend. She was old; oh, there was no doubt of it. Why, she herself had pitied her. Once she had said. "It must be hard, Mrs. Frend--" = And she could remember yet the old lady's proud stiffening and tart rejoinder. "Hard? Not a bit of it! I ain't 50 old!" ; Well, it was a-shoek-to-learn that she impressed other people as Mrs. Frend had impressed ner. But she went on ticketing stock, pausing now and then to wait on a custemer. Old Daueon, the floor manager; strolled by. He was a gray-moustached, taciturn man. Edith Carroway had always feit for him a certain awe that was almost dislike, but now she looked at him differently. He, too, was old. She vaguely remembered hearing 'that he lived with his old mother. She wondered it he, too, felt a sickening sense of inefficiency at reflected by the water itself. that same curiosity. She flushed and tried to forget him. But at the close of {hie day, when the store was almost empty and she was putting away the heaps of hose disarranged by the day's selling, he approached her again. "Business fair 10-day?" he asked perfumetorily: "Fair," she replied briefly. He stood" there, watching her ab sently. She flushed under' the seru tiny Most salespeop's were uneasy while old Danson stood near. He had a snappy way of seeing and commenting upon mistakes. of course, that was his business. But it was irritating just the same. Pres- ently Miss Carroway wondered un- easily if he, too, were thinking that she was too old to be working. Well, she .could get something Discoura- gement dreadened fear. She hardly cared at the moment what happened "Miss Carroway," said 6ld Danson "I--weuld you think it impertinent it I asked you to go to the theater this evening I haves two tickets, and it is not enjoyable going aloe." Miss Carroway let a bundle of hose fall to the floor. Her face, furrow kd 'and tired, flughed "If," stiffly, "you ao not eare to go, please say so. I thought that. You might enjoy a play: You you looked rather blue after- noon--"' "I'd like it," said Miss Carroway. She looked at "old Dznson'" and he ldoked back at her. In both eves lay the wistfulness which comes from long deferred hope and long denied expectation. ] "And I feel blue,' he added. Un- der the habitual snappiness of tone. which could not be thrown off, quav- ered a certain plaintiveness. "I've wanted to ask you before, he added, His hair might be zray, his face lin- ed, but his voice was boyishly doubt: ful. "But you were so self-absorb- ed, till this afternoon, when you looked at'me as though you didn't dislike me." Miss Carroway's fingers trempled as she stooped to pick up the fallen hose, Dislike him. Why, she now knew that there always had been a latent liking for him in her heart And later in the evening she told him of the overheard comment. 2 He had bought her a box of candy --~the first that any cng had ever baught for her. It was easy to con- fess to being old when as she munch- ed it she felt extremely young -- younger than she had ever felt be- fore. He laughed. His laugh had a happy sound, like his voice. "Oh," he said comfortably, "I guess we're not so old. At any rate, we're enjoying life right now. . And as long as you can do. that you're not aged." this THE SPORT REVIEW.

Water being transparent, rays of light pass through it without being When drops of water are partially frozen into snowflakes they are transformed into a crystal substance with a great many reflecting surfaces, which the rays of light are semt back, just asa mirror reflects a great deal of the light or color thrown against it. A mass of snow is whiter than a single flake, because of the countless number of crystals that are compart- ly grouped, thereby greatly increas- igg the reflective power. Like a mir- ror snow will reflect the color of any light thrown upon it. JOHN TORRANCE HEADS THE WHITE STAR-DOMINION LINE PV, G. Mitchell is Assistant Manag. er-- Portland and Montreal Office Are Merged -- Couipauy's Tribute To Late James Thom. Montreal Gazette, The announcement was made yes- terday by the White Star-Dgminion line that it has been decided to mer- ge the management of their Portland and Montreal offices, with John Tor- rance, as manager, and P. V. G, Mit- chell as assistant Mhanager, the ap- pointments becoming effective Janu- ary 1st, 1915. The headquarters or the company will remain at Montreal. This reorganization, following the death of James Thom, sets at rest the speculations ingaiged in by ship- pers and members the shipping fraternity as to who would be his successor, and the appointment of men so well and favorably known in Montreal will meet with approval ev- erywhere. Mr. Torrance will remain in Portland, Me., during the winter season, coming to Montreal in time for the opening of the summer navi- gation, Mr. Mitchell received yester- day the congratulations of such of his friends as had learned of his ap- pointment. John Torrance is a son of the late John Torrance, who was widely known in Montreal as general agent of the Dominion line from its incep- tion until his retirement in Décem- ber, 1908. The present John Tor- rance was formerly associated with his father in the Montreal general agency until he was appvin'aed gener- al manager agent for the company at Portland, Ms., in 1902, Since that time he has filled that position continuously, both under the Domin- ion line and after the subsequent merger of the Dominjon line with the White Star lihe, resulting in the organization now widely known as the White Star-Dominion line. Throughoug his whole business life Mr. Torrance has been identified with Canadian steamship interests, and his appointment is a subject for congratulation from a wide circle of friends in the transpertation busi- ness. = P. V. G. Mitchell has beer' connect- ed with the White Star line interests since 1893, when he entered the em- ploy of that company on completing his education. He has served in various capacities in both the freight and passenger departments of the New York office, and in 1908 was ap- pointed manager of the company's tourist and cruising department. In 1910 Mr. Mitchell was sent to Mon- treal as assistant to the late James Thom, manager of the White Star: Dominion line, He has filled that position ever since, but after Janu- ary 1st he will be assistant general manager of the company's large in- terests in Camada. He is widely known among shipping men on both sides of the line. The White Star-Dominion line is- sued the following tribute on a black bordered obituary card: "We deeply regret to announce the death of James Thom, the com- pany's manager at Montreal, which occurred on Thursday, November 26th, after an illness of several mon- ths' duration. | "Mr. Thom has long been a highly esteemed and honored representative of the company in the conduct of its Canadian business, and his loss will be greatly lamented by all who knew him. "It is fitting at this time that we record our appreeiation of his long and faithful services during which the company's interests under his charge have shown remarkable de- velopment and proégress,-and we are sure that all who knew Mr. Thom share the respect and esteem in which we held him, and our sense of the loss we have all sustained."

Problem Discussed By Writer November Number of Mothers Magazine, Shall 1 give my children "an © &1 lowance? Shall 1 pay them for work? Shall 1 allow them to spend money as they wish? O shall | keép them as far as possible from knowledge and responsibility re- garding money? If the latter question is answer- ed affirmatively, (he others need .no answer, writes Edwin A. Kirkpat- rick in the November number of the Mother's Magazine. It is true that children will inevitably learn something regarding the uses of mo- ney by seeing others buy things, but they will learn really to appre- ciate 'those uses only by buying themselves. It is a wonderful ex- perience when a lttle three-year old finds that he ean exchange .a penny for a stick of candy, and in- terest grows as he finds that two pennies will buy two sticks and that other productd than eandy can be bought with pennies, each requiring certain amount of money . To see other people 'tall . for something and put down some mo- ney. in payment for-it, means little more to him at first than any cere- mony, such as bowing or shaking hands. If your ch'ld never buys things himself he will, of course, be kept in ignorance of the real nature of money, so if you wish that con- dition, it is only necessary to let him have none to spend. The next most effective means of keeping him ignorant of financial matters is to give or refuse him money as you see fit and to direct hm just how and when to spend it. Almost equally dangerous is it to let him have money whenever he asks for it, feeling that he may spend it freely with the certainty that he can get more when that is Bone. By any of these means the child may be kept more or less in ignor ance of finapeial matters until he is grown and begins to do business fot himself; and he is furtunate indeed if he does not suffer severely then for his lack of knowledge, ---------------- THOUSANDS PAID FOR DEATHS. In Insurance Company Operating in Paris Has Big Claims. Paris, Jan. 7--One of the Ameri- can life' insurance companies has paid. out. about $400,000 on policies held gy soldiers who were killed in the war. The last policies issued which cover the war risk were dated July 25th. After that date Ameri- can policies were so modified as to exclude all risks connected with the war, . . A captain of artillery who paid his first premium on a $5,000 policy on July 26th was killed in one of the early engagements. Annuities and claims in. case of death 'rom natural eauses are being paid premptly by American compan- les, Others in accordance with the provigjens of the moratorium, are paying no annuities in excess of $240 per year and no death claims. There were six German and Aus- trian life insurance companies doing business in France before the war. They eome under the measures taken against Germans doing business in France, and their reserves deposited with the 'national consignation de. partment will be used for the bene fit of the policy holders other than those of German or Austrian nation ality.
