“Jerry dear," said, Aunt Lou mildly. "if she were too young. would your uncle approve of her going?"

Jerry and his uncle confronted each other. For a second, the boy glanced at Etienne. But Eti- enne. for all the notice he took of those in the room, might have been a mechanical figure.

"Remember." said Uncle Dick. ‘it rests entirely with you."

Jerry spoke at last. "Yes. I think I'd like to see Wanderslay. I'd like in go." he said

"Now. I do think that's so sen- sible of you," said Aunt Lou, with happy cheer.

And Glnnie's heart rose.

Etienne went abruptly to a small table On it lo-y a plaque with three buttons. It was marked Waiter, Valet Maid. He pressed one of the buttons.

"What do You want. Etienne?” asked Aunt Lou.

"A drink.” said Etienne.

Two regulations for women's em- ployment still obtain — but as it turns out they are not only sens-. le but also helpful to each wo- man who wants work. The first is that any woman capable of em- plo ment who wants a job must reg r at the employment office within seven days after she is un-f employed: the second that if a woman finds her own lob she must report that to the office within three days.

"It may be of interest to know that at present we have many jobs for women listed to be filled and we hope the women will help us build first-class Employment Serv- ice in Canada by using National Selective Service and telling oth- ers about it.
