Confessions Of A ' Debutante

(Continued from page l)

_ Larry was such a sane sort, “wast because she loved Larry, who it seemed to me was little worth loving, she had cancelled her win- ter's engagement and intended re- mining at home. That, she told me on the day of our drive to her coun- g-y place-which seem! Real‘! 58° pow-is why she was in her apart» ment the night I went there instead cl out on the road as Larry $111196‘-

That was her jud ent of values!

Was mine wrong wondered? I was te ed to believe that it W115i it seem that with the very thought oi that strange dark eyed youth my puLses quickened. while the thought of Jonathan brought only a chilling constraint.

If I had known where to find him than I think I should have rushed to m; arms of My Stranger and begged him to take me, to let me share with him anything the future might bring—good or ill! I wanted him withthe same kind of an aching that I used to want candy or toys when I was a little girl. The candy and toys were a simple matter. But My Stranger!

I had to move quietly along the park walk as if my heart was not beating triple time and my senses longing to recall a man I had cast aside!

Inthe living room at home I found Mama. She was alone. Tea was being served.

She looked up rather critically as fcame in, it seemed to me.

“Your wrap is a bit shabby-isn't it?" she said at length and then I understood the appraising look; L! cl you really haven't any gowns

"l-lavc you and Jonathan. talked of dates, yet?" she asked.

"Dales?" I nibbled a cake before I answered. “No-think I'd better nus- tio it up before spring clothes time?"

Ii I had kept my eyes on my cup, Mama would probably never have understood because my tone was 1n- aocent enough.

"There you are again! Most girls would be tickled to death with your Dffllpects but you act like a little fool! Ungrateful! You've never ap- iireciated the efforts I've made for You! I've sacrificed my whole life to live you and your sister the things I alwayy, longed for but never could nave and now this is what I get for

"You're —- you're a disappoint- ment to me! You aren't the girl I ii°i>¢d you'd be at all!" Her- voice rolse to a high wail.

‘I think I've done about as well as Iaub-You married a poor man and “Vent been a howling—"

I was going to say "success as a viie and mother." but she interrupt- ed and saved me the memory of that unkindness.

‘Not another word of that!" Moth- Ors voice was cruel and thin. "I lever has the chance you null 1 ‘film’! in the position you're in! If 1d been able to support myself I 6°“ lilPboshe I'd —" she stopped ‘him. evidently realizing sud- denly the import of what she was caving.

Taken By Sena

The following recommendation respecting cur ferry service between Prince Edward Island and the mainland appears in the report of the special Senate committee 0n Tourist Traffic-and i: significant as being the only reference to a particular Province in the whole report:

“Serious in its effects on tourist travel is the incidence of ferry rates. particularly those on motor cars. This was impressed upon the Com- mittee; cnd the case of the Prince Edward Island carferry rates on motor vehiclm was urged as an example. Smallest of all the Prov- inces. Prince Edward Island is the one Province of Canada that must be reached across water, and it is not difllcult to appreciate the im- portance 01 this matter as affect- ing that part fo the Dominion.

I Moreover, as was pointed out, it is

in the essence of the Canadian partnership that ferry rates and services to and from that Prov- ince should be such as to relieve it. insofar as possible, of the disad- vantages of its island position; and anything short of this makes for insularity.

“Similarly, and viewing the Can- adian situation as a whole. it is axiomatic that the greatest pos- sible faclllty should be afforded the movement of motor cars by ferry and otherwise, since the motor car plays such an enormous part in tourist travel today."

The Senate committee opened its sittings at Ottawa on May 2 under the chairmanship o! senator Den- nis. of Halifax, Prince Edward Is- land's representative on the com- mittee belng Senator MacArthur. Its report was submitted to the Senate on May 22, and was adopted unanimously. In addition to many witnesses who were heard. briefs were presented and considered by the committee, including one from Prince Edward Island, prepared by Premier MacMllla-n and Mr. Justice Arsenault. president of the Tourist Association. In addition to present- ing this brief. Senator MacArthur, verbally and in a written communi- cation to the chairman, supported the arguments advanced for consideration of the claims of this Province as a. tourist centre. Extracts from the evidence be- fore the committee of special inter- est to Island readers appeared re- cently in The Guardian. The fol- lowing additional extracts are from reports of subsequent sittings:

Auto Ferry Rate:

Mr. T. Ft. Enderby, general man- ager, Canada Steamship Lines, Lim- ited, in the course of his evidence before the committee on May l6, was questioned by Senator MacAr- thur regarding the carrying of automobiles on his company's boats. Witness replied that this traffic is increasing. Q-For what distance? A-From Montreal to Quebec, from Montreal to Murray Bay. Q-What is the charge for taking a ca: from Montreal to Quebec? A—'I‘he charge is $6.00 single. Q-Have you any short trips?

Car Ferry Rates Under Discussion

At SenaE Inquiry

Further Extracts From Evidence

te Committee On

Tourist Traffic.-

A-From ‘Toronto toNisgara River ports.

Q-What is the distance?

A—-Forty miles.

Q-What is the rats for auto- mobiles?

A-The rate is $2.50. There have been very substantial reductions made in those rates, and credits are given to the occupants of the car.

Q-qou have not any steamers on short runs. say. of ten miles?

A—N0.

Q—W'hat do you think the rate should be on a. ten-mile trip?

A—-Possibly twenty-five cents.

Q-For a ten-mile ferry crossing?

A-Yes. It all depends on how many passengers accompany the car.

Q-The passengers, would pay their fares.

A-Yes; but our policy, Senator, is to give a discount on the rate for the car in proportion to the num- ber of passengers travelling with it.

Q-You give the motorist a lower rate on his car to increase your passenger traffic?

A-Yes. The car does not cost anything except to put it aboard and put it ofl.

q-Fbr the ferry crossing between ‘rormentine and Borden, nine miles, the automobile rate is $4.00.

A—That discourages tourist traf- fic. We have to make our rates so the motorist will look at the rate for the automobile and figure out what it will cost him to drive, if he can drive.

Q-‘Phe low automobile rate will encourage passenger traffic?

A—Yes. We have to put it to him in such a way that he will place his car aboard the boat and pay the rate rather than travel by road.

Q-Would you say that a. $4 charge is pretty excessive for a nine- mile run?

A-—I should think it would be a detriment to tourist traffic.

Q-Especially when the ferry is Government-owned and operated?

A-I was not viewing it from that point; but the automobile man can travel a long way nowadays on

of course,

Q-Rather than pay a high ferry rate for his automobile he will keep on the road?

A-Yes, if there are alternative trips, a $4 or $5 charge for an auto- mobile woud be a. distinct deterrent to that movement.

Q-I agree with you.

Q—I think you said that from Toronto across the lake to Niagara Falls is about forty miles and the automobile rate is $2.50.

A—Yes. If with the automobile there is one man he pays $2.50; if

of 25 per cent on his automobile fare.

Q—I notice that on some of the St. Lawrence River ferry crossings, for instance, that between Kings- ton and Clayton-which is consid-
