When she started on the journey some of the veteran for- eign traders here scoffed at the idea. A woman in foreign trade? The mere suggestion, wag rather absurd. But Miss Bridges has re- turned important orders, and several new ideas, with the result that Vancouver will be sending additional cargoes to the West Indies this fall and winter. "I went there chiefly to sell hay," said Miss Bridges. "Well, I sold it. Some of the ultra-con- servative British buyers were a bit stand:offish at first, but they eventually came to the conclusion that there was no reason why wo- men should not sell hay from a foreign country as well as ribbon at a bargain counter. I got along with them very well. "If Canada wants to win the maximum trade from the West Indies she must send more repre- sentatives there. The personal contact is the thing that counts. 1 saw many American salesmen there, but few Canadians. Canada should be more aggressive, for logically the West Indies are our market, "The sugar industry has been hard hit by the depression, but the outlook is optimistic. The West Indies should continue to expand an outlet for Canadian goods."

For women especially it is a good stroke, as it is not necessary to submerge the face and only part of the hair, My general advice to women is that if they wish to become proficient swimmers the matter of wetting the hair 'should be disregarded entirely. Wear a good, tight rubber cap to prevent the hair straying, and then forget about it. In attempt- ing to keep the hair dry by holding the head out of the water the body is thrown into an entirely false position, and definite harm to stroking will result. Choose either side, according to natural inclination. The lower arm, right or left as the case may be, shoots straight out under the water, slightly above the level of the shoulder, to its farthest reach, then brought down to the side with elbow bent. the hand is always slightly cupped for the downward stroke and the fingers are, of course, kept together. starting is shot The stroke is completed when the arm reaches the Joint near the right or left side of the body.

Flip the Terrier seldom reflects, and so often rushes headlong in- to trouble, and wishes afterward that he hadn't. But this. time Flip paused to reflect. He had discovered a small stranger big- ger than Happy Jack Squirrel and wearing the prettiest white and black coat he had ever seen. He was harmless-looking. There seemed no reason why Flip should not seize and shake him to death as he often had shaken a Rat to death. . Indeed, this dainty, small person didn't look half so dangerous as Robber the Brown Rat, There was just one thing about him that was rather upsetting--he wasn't afraid, Any- , if he was afraid, he didn't appear to be. It was this more than 'anything else that made Flip pause and reflect. ..,'He.ought to be afraid and:he Flip. "Now why somo must that I.can shake him to death in a wink, yet he Isn't afraid. It was the same way with Jimmy Skunk, and I found out why Jimmy wasn't afraid. I'll never forget it. No, sir, as long as I live I'll never forget it.

"You're not a skunk?" he ven. tured in an inquiring tone. "Who says I'm not?" demand- ed the little stranger, beginning to lose patience. "I've seen Jimmy Skunk and Mrs. Jimmy and they don't look like you," replied Flip. "Did I say they did?" snapped the little stranger. "So, of course you can't be a Skunk," continued Flip. "I've seen their children when they were just about you're size, but they looked quite different from you," "I hope 80," replied the little stranger. "So of course, you can't he a Skunk," repeated Flip, trying to convince himself. "You seem to know a lot about t,"" retorted the little stranger. "tll, for all that it happens, it Just happens that I am a Skunk." Flip, somewhat hastily and in # most undignified manper, back- od off a short distance. "Are you sure?" he asked rather foolishly. "Are you sure you are a Dog?" asked the little fellow testily. "You don't look like any of the H dogs around here." ; "What has that got to do with it?" barked Flip. 'Of course I'm a Dog. I guess I know what 1 am." . "Then why should you think I dont know what I am?" retert- od the little stranger. "I am just as much a Skunk as Siktmy Skunk is. If you don't believe it, just come a little nearer and I'll let you try a little of my scent." 4 Flip hastily backed off a little more, "I--I'll take your word. for it. I wouldn't have been so impo- lite if I had known who you are," said he. ; "Not knowing who a is is no excuse for being id rebuked the little Skunk. | are times when t u ¥ 3 ally ou may call Te Spot if you want to.

Jessie GIRL GUIDE CAMPERS RETURN FROM HOLIDAYS With healthy coats of tan om their brightly smiling faces, thir- ty-two Oshawa Girl Guides, hap- py to be returning home and yet disg@WVing some regret at leaving the site of the camp which will hold so many pleasant memories for them in the future, arrived at the dock in Toronto yesterday af- ternoon from Niagara -on -the- Lake, and disembarked from the "good ship Cayuga," to be met by a truck from the Phillips' Glass Company which brought them back to Oshawa. Piled high with dunnage and overburdened with passengers the truck arrived in Oshawa shortly after six o'- clock. Camping days were over for this summer for these Guides, but there is no doubt but that each one in her own mind deter mined that she would get to camp again next year, Everyone had a wonderful time, There was fun and play and just enough work to make the less serious hours more enjoyable. The Guides learned many new and useful things, while away, especially in the line of handicraft. Those who re- mained at home are eagerly look. ing forward to the stories of camp they will hear when Guide meetings are resumed in the fall. Former Oshawa Girl . To Be Married The engagement of Edith Olive, daughter of Mre. Martha Downey, of Orlando, Florida, to Mr. William Hayward Champion, of Fort Valley, Georgia, and Or- lando, has been announced.

The wedding & will take place on August 15th. A Shakespearean Play Seldom Acted (By The Canadian Press) London, Aug. 1. -- "The gods themselves, visiting the stage, could not make this play persua- sive or advance a better reason for performing it than the pe- dant's reason--that it is seldom performed," says The TIMES theatre critic about Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure,"' recently produced at the Fortune Theatre. "The whole dramatic structure is flawed by the tricky contrivance of the Duke's pretended depart- ure and by the extravagant arti- ficiality of Angelo's enforcement of the law," the critic continues. "A piece so begun could but proceed from falseness to false. ness, floundering through woo- ings by compulsion, disguises that could deceive no ome, and that sorriest of stage-conventions --the assumption a lover does not recognize his own hed-fellow. And a play so long dependent on these things could but end as this play ends--with a 'discovery scene' so crude fhat one gasps at the careless effrontery of the man who wrote it, '"The common objection to the story--that Isabella's reference of her own chastity to her bro- ther's life is against nature and a condemnation of her--seems to us invalid. Isabella's choice is consistent with the tradition or her age, her calling, and her faith, and certainly Miss Forbes- Robertson's austere presentment of it establishes it as part of the character. This has evidently been her central purpose, and for its- sake she has turned away from the freworks of 'Fie. Fie. Fie.' and 'Juatice. Justice." upon which other actresses might have relied to give a theatrical brilli- ance to the part. What she has cared for is to make Isabella credible; in this she has succeed. ed as far as one may succeed; bur nothing can ultimately save a novice who, at the bidding of a Duke whom she has known for five minutes, abandons the re- ligious calling that has hither- to been the basis of her action and enters into marriage as easi- ly as other women pass through a drawing-room door when it is opened to them. "Baliol Holloway plays Angelo as well as we hope to see him played; the detail is careful, the action vigorous, the thought live- ly----but what a man. The Duke, who will seem to many more dis- mal because more given to mor- alizing, has the advantage of nev. er seriously pretending to he more than a decoration, and Henfy Oscar makes the decoration an elegant one. John Garside, bles- sed with opportunities for rea- son and good sense, takes them discreetly, and makes of Escalus an island of likeable sanity, Bry- an Powley is another island or the same sort, and = Sebastian Shaw has monients even as Claudio, But the principal re- liefs of the evening are the hus morous gentlemen, Arthur Ches- rey's Pompey is genuinely good sport, and James Dale gives a sharp edge to Lucio's arrogant and entertaining tongue."
