B Clayton, M.C., is to visit the Dominion early In January, will excite the interest of every ex-service man who served in the Ypres salient. For Mr, Clayton is the padre of Toc H., and there can be few of our 8oldier boys who returned from 'that Eelgian inferno who had not at one | time or another mingled with the great family of men and officers who found relief and refreshment in the shell-pitted buildings at Poperingne | and Ypres, known as Talbot House or, for short, Toc H. As Punch has well put it--'Both houses were inthe danger zone; both sbrought a corner of heaven into the hel] of men's lives." Throughout the four and a half years of war the [ tamily of Toc H. grew and waned | Beason after season; and among them Iwart lads with Then the fellows whe came and went the the Maple Leaf on collar war petered out, and came out of the ghastly Salient won- dered if Toe H. had finished its jum Padre Clayton had doubts about 't; and being a mag ¢ person, he infused his ideas into the others. | These ideas were that the spirit of brotherliness and mutual helpful- ness displayed during the war should be transmitted to the peace period, |by means of maintaining a close touch between the men who had fought in the salient, and by linking with them the younger editions at { home and at school of their comrades | who lay sleeping beneath the Flem- | ish soil, | Translated into action this idea {shaped itself in the opening of a Toc H. in Londen as a club centre ana place of residence for the young man A second foliowed and and today all these | from home, then a third; " houses are bustling hives of life and are self-supporting. The leading notion is that these Toc H. centres shall be in the class war of today what the original Toc H. was in the war against Germany. Their aim is to break n class dis- tinctions. ln addition, jobs of social service are found for the leisure. of the members, Thus, when Padre Clayton was in- formed by a blasé youngster that "dancing men were dreadfully short this season," he promptly responded [ages--Dboys' clubs closed down for want of human sheepdogs, Scouts and Church Lads' Brigade similarly paralysed, school missions and col- lege settlements starved for men and jroney; and so on and so forth. | Put in a nutshell the chief objects {at the bank of the Toc H, Movement are: 1.

Susie hoped there would be some real money offerings which she felt her diligence and that of her grandmother | truly deserved, For a month past Mrs. Burton had referred te "a bill and a Judgment." To some persons a calendar fis nothing more or less than a decora- tion to take away the effect of empti- ness in a room, or to cover spots on a wall where the paper is torn. These people never look at the quo- tations printed thereon. The desk calendar, of course, is a true friend. It aids the business man and woman | in keeping up with the times and | their business. Here is a selection | of calendars that may be to the home | what the desk calendar it to the | office--a friend. The owners may model their daily life on calendar precepts, may find inspiration in the reading of one famous quotation a day. Here are the calendars you have been waiting for: "Calendar of Inspiration." Com- piled by Mary Eleanor Kramer.

"Little one," he said, jotting down the town where she lived and covertly wiping away a tear, "we will attend to all this speedily. Get the child some- thing to eat," he directed his wife, and an hour later she was the companion of Susie, homeward bound, after giving directions for the immediate return of old Dobbin. That was not all.
