Some of the men amused theniseIves tell- ing her the, moat extravagant tales af what she might expect while crossing Canada. "Indians!" they said, and îolled their eyes in horror. "Wild!

One of the passengers, an Ans- trian, had been living i England for a year, wiiting scenarlos far Alexander Karda,' and wusan lits way'ta Hollywaad ta write for has friend Ernst Lubitsch. One night we had a long chat, whlle he tald me ai Austria when Vienna was a gay and happy city. We dlscussed films and plays and I suggeated that the tremendous and dramatic evacuatii . af Lon- don school-children on that Sat- urday before war wasý declared wauld samne day make a gaod, film. He asked me why I dld nat write scenarlas!! "Easy," lie sald. "Very easy!" Sa I asked hlm wliat he thauglit ai the thumbing sit- uation from Taronta ta Holly- wood. He did nat understand; and it toak five minutes ta ex- plain the delicate art af the hitch- hiker. There was na orchestra on board. But ont evening a few ai us danced ta the radia. It was a rather hali-liearted attempt at galety which nane ai us feit; and we soandrappcd ilta odrift back ta aur varlaus, graups in thie lounge, wlicre we sat cxclianging endleua sterlea, and yarns we had heard or af experlences we had knawi.* Every'niglit we listcned to the news braadcasts.

I am sure that lIeir consideration and kindness must have done much ta allay the anx- iety af the AtIienia survivars and of the parents with little children. One morning we woke ta -find the snow-streaked coast of Labra- dar an aur right. We stoad an the frazen deck and ieaned an the snow and ice-caked rail fifling our eyès with the glariaus sight af land. An English girl said, "How cald! But oh, how beauti- full" That night we had a gala din- ner with paper hats, bailoons and naise-makers. The children loved it; and we made a great show af gaiety for them. The dining- room steward taid us that the hats and toys were the last that would appear on that boat until the war was aver. Na mare money wauld- be spent an such happy trifles. By the next mornlng we were in the St. Lawrence River and th~e weather was mild and beau- tiful. Warm sunlight shone an the iavely banks and gleamed an the limte white church af each amail French village as we steam- ed past. I stoad an deck wlth a graup of peaple who were seelng aur country for the first time; and if I, had been responsible my- self for its lavely creatian, in- stead of mereiy belng lucky enaugh ta have been bain ini it, 1 could not have been nearer ta lýursting with pride. That night was thc last an baard. An Englishman, anather Canadian and I stayed up ail niglit tallng an deck. We watdh- cd the clever manaeuvring ai the tiny pilot boat guiding th e luge limer inta the dock at Quebec. We leancd an the rail and peeied at the aid city and pictured again that dark, historlc niglit when Wlfe's' men crept up the stsep hhiside and surprised Montcalm. We saw the river covered, with canoes paddled by rcd-coaa and cnjayed 'ourseives like threechcl- dren wlth a new gamq. We had before us the real stage setting and aur imaginations did the reat. Next day was a bustie of lig4it- liearted packlng; and soan aller lunch the corridors were crawdcd wllh trunki and bags. Instcad ai tea at the usual haur of tour a'clock, an cariy dinner was serv- ed at six.
