I’m just in tlie mood.” “Up to your old tricks, Eve?” Eve’s'voice was creamy with beâ€" wilderment. “Is having tea with me being up to old tricks, honey?” “IO’h, she’s crazy about him.

The brown ones fell. “What’s the use." Cynthia falter- ed. “Where you shop, your friends shop. I suppose, and I can’t af- fordâ€"” “You’re awfully clever, Cyn. I a)- ways tell people so,” Eve relaxed her gaze. “And now I’m crazy to see the new things.” Cynthia rose and stared in a queer wa-y at the open boxes. She threw the tissue off and when she saw the White satin, she plaled. “The Mainbocher! Oh, Eve, this is my heart’s joyâ€"or rather it was. I was going to take it for myself that day you walked in and bought it. ALd you’ve ruined: it!” “1~ 1w?"

Sh“ said that she saw you and Raga" M every party she went to since I left. Is that true, Eve?" this Cynthia smiled faintly. Her black hair sprang away from her white forehead in a deep wave. Every. thing- about‘ her seemed electrically alive. She crushed cut her cigarette. “Guess what, Miss Padget. Cyn- thia’s back from Paris. Came yesâ€" terday most unexpectedly â€" looking marvellous.

Let me look at you again. Gracious. Paris must have agreed with you.” Eve found Cynthia at. her desk telephone. Eve raptm‘ously engulfed her cousin in a hug. Miss Nadine, who modelled the evâ€" ening things, whispered excitedly. The chaste gray hangings of Cynâ€" thia, Inc., fluttered in the gale of Eve Padget’s entrance. Eve was used to causing flurries in exclusive shops, especially her cousin Cynthia’s. “Send me this -â€"â€" and this â€"â€" and this,” she would say, never looking at the price tags. Her rapacious eyes and hands encompassed the most expensive worthwhile things in the shop. But later she would fall a prey to an attack of economy or the frocks seemed different some how, and back they would go. But while she was buying, every one was in a gale of joy.

Eve-Jim, and I were married in Paris just before I sail- ed.” Eve’s small eyes brimmed' slowly, while her hands- tensed. “BM you played around while he was gone and now you want me to get you out of the mess. Well, I won’t take your leavings now or ever again! I might have some re. spect for you if you loved Roger, bub you didn’t have the decency.” Her dark eyes wandered around the room until they rested on a man’s face, framed' in silver. The deep pictured eyes seemed amused at the world‘ they saw through glass. “No credits?” repeated Eve, her mouth remaining open. “No credits," repeated Cynthia, “either in bargaim frocks. or in men. You took him, now you can’t dump him back in my lap, my fickle an- gel.” “Jim,” began ‘Eve, “will ’be hOme at the end of the month if his orig- in'al plans hold.

THE MILL MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO I)" Mill 139 (Royal Commissions) Some of the provinces wanted royal commissions to study their problems and recommend changes. One premier broadened out the pro. Ottawa. Dec. 22â€"The financial confennce at Ottawa has been de- scribed in some quarters as a bad flop; in others as a moderate sucâ€" cess. It all depends on how you look at it. Confusion crept in because a lot of people thought it was a Do- minion-ProvinciaI cor‘orence along the lines of that a year ago. Actu- ally it was nothing 0" the sort, al- though a last minute attempt was made to broaden it out into one. It was a meeting of the National Fin- ance Committee, which consists of nine provincial treasurers and the Minister of Finance. Eight of the provinces sent their premiers, and other cabinet ministers as well. Of course they were welcome. But the test of the conference depends on whether one thinks about the original agenda, drafted months before, or the more ambitious program which the premiers brought with them. So far as the first was concerned, while there was no spectacular success, a very useful start was made. In re- gard to the demands of the provin- cial premiers, very little came of it. (Two Objectives) There were two major objectives of the National Finance Committee, and‘ something was accomplished to- ward both of them. For the first time since confederation an effort is going to be made to corâ€"ordinate the public borrowings of Canada. In- formation is to be exchanged be- tween provinces and the Dominions so that loans can be floated at sens- ible intervals, and. at such times- as the market is best able to absorb the offerings. Some progress was made also, though not notable, in simplifying the tax structure of Can- ada. At present the field of corpâ€" oration taxing is almost inconceiv- ably involved and cumbersome. Many firms have to pay taxes to ten diff- erent authorities (9 provinces and the Dominion), on ten different bases and ten different rates. Some of them have to keep a staff of book- keepers to fill up their tax returns. Some degree of simplification and uniformity between» the provinces and the Dominion is desirable. There is no intention at the moment of decreasing the tax burden of corn. orations, but if some of the costs of filling and preparing information could be eliminated, it would be a step forward. ngmézmw§m§a§§a§ééz§a§§a§fi§$m Wawa Spotlight i EWW’gté erry Christmas§ rid Eggleston Pontiac McLaughlin-Buick G-M.C.

White to study subsidy increases. The royal commissions set up to take care of payments in compensa- tion for natural resources to the prairie provinces also failed in two cases out of three to render awards to the provincas. The broader commission, to exam- ine the whole basis of confederation, would be agreed to by the Dominion government, it is believed, if there were unanimity among the provinces. So far there is no such thing. The central provinces and B. C. oppose the idea; the western provinces ap- prove, but the Maritimes are only lukewarm. powers, sponsibili ploye (A Marketing Policy) Then the nine provinces met in an agricultural conference. Same of them came here enthusiastic about Marketing Acts, and planned pro- duction and distribution. They did not find in Hon. J. G. Gardiner a warm adherent of those views. The Minister of Agriculture holds simple and what are now regarded as oldâ€" fashioned views about ,markets. In brief, his policy is this: cut producâ€" tion costs, reduce distribution costs, stress quality, study the needs of the market, maintain continuity of supply. He does not think of marâ€" kets as fixed static things. Within reasonable limits he thinks they can be enlarged. It is, of course, the traditional Liberal theory. Many peo- ple, of the ‘planned economy’ school, think that such policies may have been sound once, but are not now. Mr. Gardiner thinks they are like the multiplication table, as sound now as they were years ago. It looks as though we have escap- ed the threat of British tariffs on our farm products, but we shall have to put up with quotas, it w0uld ap- pear, certainly on some lines.
