F. McFadyen, Alice street," left India 'about four months ago and has since spent some time in China and Japan, crossing the Pacific Ocean in March and landing in San Francisco. She has, since her arrival on-this contin- ent, been travelling in the United | states, visiting Los Angeles, the Grand Canyon, Chicago, New York, Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Her hus- band, Sir Bertram Staden, who was for some years senior member of the Council of the Central Provinces, India, Commissioner at Berar, and Director of Agriculture with the portfolio of revenue, is retiring and has gone to England. Lady Staden, who loves travelling, and is greatly interested in industrial and agricul- tural conditions, is going home by the longest route and seeing some- | thing more of the world as well. She knew Dr. and Mrs. McFadyen and their daughters in Nagpur, where Dr. |McFadyen was a professor in the {Scotch' Mission College. Lady Staden has studied conditions in India and says the natives of the Céntral Pro- vinces are clever, intellectual Hin-| {doos.

Lady Staden spoke of the hum- dreds of motors used in India and said that the old bullock carts and almost .. entirely disappeared.

Prof. Roy of Queen's University, took Lady Staden and a party for a motor drive on when she saw something of the farms in the neighborhood of Kingston, Loughboro Lake and Sydenham. She admired the country, our open spaces, early spring in Canada and the old stone farm houses along the road. The mail boxes, which she was sur- prised to find gave and received mail daily, and the stands for milk cans were to her objects of interest. I-- -- Wide Choice.
