"It isn't as if it was a regular part;, aud she'll understand, of course, that our asking tier to an affair of this sort doesn't put her or us under Mny Sort of future social obligation." 1 "Well, all right," quoth the other Emmett. "And she'll probably be so flattered to be asked that she'll buy a lot of the pans and kettles. I Imagine she has quite a little money," ' jbo that la why Miss Emmett No. 1 telephoned to Mary Wynn that night, something unprecedented Is the six months that Mary Wynn had come to live in Farnhaia. •*I thought perhaps you'd be Interacted in coming around to our house Wednesday," said she, taking pains not to let her voice carry too much cordiality. "There Is a young man who is agent for the Gold Star Kitchen Wear who is coming for a demontitration. He asked me to get together Mtue of the ladles In the neighborhood. And he says," emphasized Miss Emmett, "that If it will be any indxj^eeient there will be refreshments and that you're not to bring your purse. He doesn't want to sell auything now. He came to me naturally as president of the Farnham Woman's club and, wishby to help any young man working lata way through college, I told him be could have his demonstration at onr bouse." Miss Emmett did not add that she had consented moat willingly as the young man In question had agreed to give Miss Emmett 5 per cent of any Bales that resulted from her demonstration party, and that he was, moreover, going to prepare and provide materials for the refreshments served. Miss Wynn tried to hide her exdteflffent and happiness from Miss Emntett an the telephone. She had come to Farnham six months ago to live In a house that had been willed to her an uncle who had lately died. But ao far Farnham had not received her very warmly. They eyed her with suspicion. Old Mr. Wynn was something of an eccentric. There were tales of Mary Wynn's high-flown notions. She bad lived abroad, she could talk French as well as she could English and she came to Farnham with rather shabby clothes. Therefore Farnham eyed her with suspicion. Now It seemed to Mary Wynn as If the Ice was broken, as if at last Farnham were opening its arms. * It was an odd enough party at the • Burnetts' that Wednesday afternoon. Twenty chairs or more bad been carried into the kitchen to accommodate tbe guests and late comers sat in open doorways to the dining room or perched upon the drain board of the kitchen sink. Mary Wynn, who had arrived early In a crisp summer frock, ant close to the stove, where -nothing that the young man from Hilton col- ' lege said or did could escape her. To the others seated farther back he may have seemed self-possessed and perfectly at ease, but to Mary Wynn It obvious that at times he felt the awkwardness of his position--he a novice in the art of cooking, a greenborn in the kitchen. Telling these sea soned housewives how to make better Omelets than they had ever made before, assuring them that coffee as they bad made it before could never equal ' coffee as be was jnaking it in one of the new Gold Star coffee pots, and Mary Wynn thought once or twice as be stirred the eggs for the omelet or measured the coffee to pnt in the coffee pot that the boyish hands trembled with confusion. « Apparently he was not entirely fa- •Uliar with his sales talk for he consulted from time to time the notes that he had before him neatly written on pages from a university note- Ibook. Once or twice when there was an awkward pause in his sales talk his ayes Inadvertently met those of Mary Wynn and then a boyish smile came Into his eyes and Mary Wynn flashed back a look of encouragement that . Reared the air. Mary was thinking that It would be « very great thing for any woman to bave a son so bent on getting his education that he was willing to spend ills summers as an agent demonstrating in women's kitchens. For Mary Wynn, though not more than twentyflve, usually thought of herself as very •rach older. Her own youth seemed tery far away. Then an end came to the demonstration and the amber-clear coffee was |H>ured in Miss Emmett's second best tea cups and the feather-light omelet was cut in sample pieces and passed .ground. Assurance came Into the face •'.•J* the demonstrator when he saw and heard the praise of the women. "Now,' and a pencil. Wilt your name and artdMSt OB 6 tIN)" Having collected tbe Cards md fievlng looked them over with some interest, he went on, "Now, I want to call on each one of you personally--" this was all, of course, only part of the selling plan laid out at the headquat* tens of the Gold Star office. "Mrs. Brown, when may 1 call on you? I want to answer all your questions, I want you to tell me your problems in cooking equipment and then I want to help you solve them." There was a sort of personal appeal In the words that made Mrs. Brown giggle and say, "Any time." And so on. Robert Grandage went the rounds, making definite appoint- j ments to call on each of the guests present, with the object, of course, of in:)king sales of the kltchenware for which he was agent. Have I arranged with everyone?" he asked. There was s pause and then Mary Wyun looked up. "You haven't arranged with me," she said, then blushed unaccountably. Robert Grandage showed confusion too. "You are Mlaa Wynn--I didn't really forget," he said. "I didn't have the card with the rest." He apparently put her card away from the others for safe keeping in his waistcoat pocket and that was why he bad not called her name. "When Jo you want me to come? I'm not going to let yon out of It, you see. Shall I comev In the morning, afternoon or would yon like an evening appointment?" Why, if you could come in the evening," suggested Mary Wynn. "You. could come any evening. I'm always1: home." How about this evening?" be suggested and he . laughed with boyish amusement at something In Mary Wynn's face when she told him that that time would do. Then tbe ladies withdrew to Miss Emmett's spacious porch while Robert; Grandage was left to clean up In the kitchen. "I could have had one of the maids do it," suggested Miss Emmett, "but I just told them they could both go out for the afternoon. No more than right that he should clean up his own mesa." Really, he's a dear boy,* said one of the women. - "Isn't he cute?" sighed another. "Really, I was quite fussed when he asked to call. Wouldn't be put off, either." "And he came near forgetting poor little Mary Wynn--" But that night when Robert Grandage called at Mary Wynn's house he made It clear that this was exactly what he hadn't done. I didn't call your name this afternoon," he said, "because I had put tbe card you gave me in my pocket, where I'd know which one it was. I wanted to come to see you before I left town, but 1 didn't want to come to talk about selling pans and kettles." "Why did you want to come to see me?" asked Mary Wyna with wide eyes and shy smile. "Because I thought I'd like to know you. It seems, somehow, as if you and I would have a lot of Interests and sympathies in common." "I suppose we might," agreed Mary Wynn, "I always admired young men who worked their way through college immensely. I was thinking this afternoon that If I ever had a son and he should want an education enough to work for It, I'd be tbe proudest mother living." Robert Grandage laughed. 'Tm not a poor student working his way--I'm a poor instructor. I Intended to get a Job in an office this summer, but it fell through; meantime one of tbe students who arranged to work as an agent for tbe Gold Star company defaulted and 1 had a chance to take the work. It is fairly well paying, for these days, and I am anxious to earn what I can, because next summer I am going to go abroad. I want to travel a little and then I want to spend a few months studying before 1 come back to take my doctor of philosophy examinations." They talked of many things that evening, but never once of Gold Star Kitchen Utensils. As he arose to depart Mary Wynn reminded him of it. "1 forgot all about It," he said. "I must come again tomorrow night. I shall be here only two days mOre." So the next evening Robert Grandage again called at the Wynn cottage. "Miss Wynn," he said, "I am leaving tomorrow. I have done very well here and I want to do the whole county In three weeks. But before I go I want to get you to promise something. Will you answer my letters? And when the time comes for me to take that trip to Europe will you go with me as my wife?" And Mary must have said yes, for when Robert Grandage went back to college that autumn he took with him a wife. The old Wynn house was sold and when the next summer vacation came plans were all made for an entire year to be spent In European travel and study.

'Windfall* Good Ludb Tbe. origin of "windfall," bi tbe sense of "good luck," dates from tbe time of William the Conqueror. It was then a criminal offense to cut timber In the forests. Only such could be gathered as the wind had blown down. Hence, a heavy windstorm was hailed by the peasants as so much good luck, and from this comes its modern applteatloa. . •••$1 . *v>-v^|Eyeel9ht Was »a4.B;^fV' ^ He--For tbe last hour I bave been New York.--After a ten months' intensive study of the hygienic, economic, social and religious condition of the native African, an international commission of experts in educational and missionary work has reached the conclusion that Africa is the "Continent of Great Misunderstandings" rather than the "Dark Continent," and that tbe country's vast potential strength in raw materials and the development of its native peoples should be emphasized Instead of Its jungles and savagery. The report of tbe commission has been published by the Phelps-Stokes fund. More than 26,000 miles through west, south and equatorial Africa were traversed by the commission during the fall of 1920 and following winter, scores of schools and missions supported by churches of America and Europe visited, Colonial officials and European traders consulted and native chiefs Interviewed In tbe first effort ever made to secure a comprehensive survey. The personnel of the commission iih eluded Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, chairman, WHter of the official report, who Is director of education of the Phelps- Stokes fund; James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey, member of the Fantl tribe of the Gold Coast; Dr. Henry Stanley Hollenbeck of Wisconsin, for twelve years a medical missionary; Mr. and Mrs. Arthur W. Wllkie of Scotland, missionaries of the United Free Church of Scotland, and the Rev. John T. Tucker of the Canadian Congregational Board In Aagola. Leo A. Roy of New York City, an expert in Industrial education, served as secretary. The report says: "Of the many misconceptions that still tend to limit the Investment of capital In African industry and agriculture, to hamper the ifforts of colonial governments and discourage the support of missions, there •re four of such importance as to- require consideration in any effort to evaluate the educational possibilities. The first of these misunderstandings relates to the wealth of resources and natural scenery; the second Is concerned with the healthfulness of the continent and the promising possibilities of sanitary Improvement; the third has to do with the 'mprovabillty of the African people; the fourth with European and American influences." Wonderful Physical Resources, Dr. Jones points out that the Immense and varied physical resources of Africa are practically unknown to the civilized world, largely because the researches so far made have been for private or government use and the results have not been published. "There is sufficient evidence of potential wealth," he says, "to convince the most skeptical tbat Africa Is the undeveloped treasure house of the world." The diamond fields of Klmberly, the gold ridge of Johannesburg, tbe coal mines of Rhodesia, the Katsnga copper plateaus of Belgian Congo are cited as specific instances of the country's natural wealth. Every colony Is said to have some of the precious metals In forms and quantities profitable for commerce. A number of colonies, also the Republic of Liberia, have immense quantities of water power. The forest and agricultural possibilities have scarcely been touched and animal husbandry is even less developed. "Africa's reputation for unbealthfulness was the result of tbe tragic experience of those who entered the continent without knowledge of conditions or Indifferent to tbe hardships always attending the entrance of pioneers tnto a new field," the report sets forth. "A fair comparison of Africa with other parts of the world will undoubtedly ehow that Africa will respond to modern methods of sanitation in exactly the same way as continents of similar climate; economic and social conditions." In further discussion on the healthfulness olji Africa, Doctor Jones makes the following comment: "Even in the lower levels where mosquitoes and tsetse flies have beeft a menace to health and life missionaries, merchants and government officials are living with considerable safety and comfort. Members of the education commission were repeatedly Impressed by the sight of Europeans and Americans who have lived In these regions for many years. ' "In one American mission station, just where the Congo river crosses the equator, the commission saw four American families with seven children, all In good health. In another station on the lower Congo were two American missionaries and their wives who have served an average of forty years In that region which'Is notorious for malaria and sleeping sickness. Nearby was also a station of Jesuit Fathers and Brothers who had lived In tbe region for over twenty-five years. "The health experience of the commission is most reassuring to travelers In Africa. This party of Americans and Europeans, with one native African, traveled 25,000' miles for ten months In coast and interior regions absolutely without illness from ^ any African cause. The only precautions required were helmets In the tropics, dally quinine tn malarial regions and boiled drinking water where tbe supply was not supervised." "The Unprovability of the African people is clearly shown by their response to the efforts of missions, governments and commerlcal organizations. Africans occupy positions of Importance in every colony visited. There are physicians, lawyers and ministers who have completed the requirements of European universities. While the number is small, it Is sufficient to prove the capacity of the people. The clerical tasks of government, Industry and commerce are very largely entrusted to young African men. The mechanical operations on railroads and in construction are more and more being taken over by African workmen. Every mission gives emphatic testimony to the value of the native teachers and ministers.

Regard bsr' caretelly, tbis bepalftted, bspowdefed, besuustinired product of oar beetle age, as she circles the ballroom. She dances emotionally, but her emotions are for the rhythm and the music, not for the mere male, her partner. Even In a man's arms she is as nearly sexless as the ladles of tbe Lyslstrata, Gilbert Frankau writes In the Forum. Regarding her tjius, one cannot help answering the question which stands at the head of this article in the most emphatic negative. No! Give her all her good qualities, her poise, her efficiency, her intelligence and ypu will still be forced to admit that--judging her superficially--the modern girl Is not capable of a great and toduring love. To begin with, she Is too selfish, too self-centered, too set on the pursuit of what she considers pleasure, to abandon herself to that self-sacrifice which is love at Its best. And then, perhaps, she Is toe wise. Myself, I am and have always been, « strong supporter of the civil con- jg ^00|t|n-, - tract in matrimony. Matrimony, after all, is--however much sentimental, middle-aged fogeys like myself may like to regard it as a pure love affair--a legal undertaking. And think that It is high time for the young man of today to understand that his legal undertaking when he marries a self-supporting or an independent young woman is not confined purely and simply to housing her. The modern woman, you see, Is something more than a mere. domesticated pet. She requires her leisures, her pleasures and, more perhaps even than these, her full partnership rlghti. •s :-P^ FIGURES IN HALL CASE Mrs. Nellie Leo Russell, colored, wbo Uves near tbe scene of tbe double murder of Rev. Dr. Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills, choir singer, In New Jersey, attacks the story of Mrs. Gibson by stating that Mrs. Gibson was In her (Mrs. Russell's) presence at the very hour that Mrs. Gibson asserts she was on her mule and witnessing tbe events leading to the murder. of the inadequacy and lack of adaptation of educational facilities it Is greatly to the credit of the native African that he has been able to achieve the success observed In every colony. "Nor are the possibilities of the Africans to be judged only by those who have entered the ranks of civilisation, whether in Africa, Europe ot America. An adequate study of those who are still In barbaric and primitive stages will more and more reveal the fact that the present condition of the masses of the African people is normal and comparable with other peoples at the same stage of development. Their folk-lore, their handicrafts, theli native music, their forms of government, their linguistic powers, all are substantial evidences of their capacity to respond to the wise approaches of civilisation so that they may share In the development of the African continent." . The progress of all peoples Is dependent upon co-operative relationships with other peoples, and the Influence of the white race on Africa has sr far been, on the whole, good, are opinions of the commission expressed in the report in discussion of "European and American influences." Extracts on the subject follow: r ! White Influence. • : : "Some have thought that influences of Europeans and Americans have been more for evil than for good. Some have thought that It would have been better to leave the African in his natural, condition. Few have realized the Importance of the movements that have been started and the changes that have been wrought. It must be stated that many mistakes have been made and many injustices have been perpetrated. In some sections the Africans have suffered tragically at the hands of selfish white exploiters. Evil influences originated by white people still persist in too many parts of Africa. It Is, however, the emphatic conviction of the education commission that the gains that have come to Africa through the white man are far greater than the losses. "Among the most convincing evidences of this conviction are those obtained from a study of the porttons of i Africa now ruled by European nations. ! The elements of life that reflect the | changes Introduced by the white groups have been the Improvement of physical well-being. Including the decrease of sickness and death and the attendant suffering; the decrease and often the elimination of the power Qf witchcraft, a form of oppression exceedingly general and cruel; the overthrow of lnter-trlbal slavery, Ihe development of friendly relations among tribes formerly hostile; the extension of the economic benefits of the country to all tribes and the opening of the doors of civilization to those who were formerly limited to the narrow compass of their tribes. "Africa Is overwhelmingly rural and the great mass of her people will always live close to the soli and derive their sustenance from the products ot the soil; but they require more than Instruction In agriculture and animal husbandry. Personal hygiene and community sanitation, the simple handicrafts of the kraal or tribal village, an appreciation of privacy la home life and decency In dress, leadership tn developlnagraitable recreation for the use of lelirore time, an appreciation of their own history, folk-lore and music." Such Is the curriculum of an "adapted" edocatlon which the ie> port proposes. STARLIGHT HEAT SPECTRUM Scientist of Smithsonian InstltHjjjtm Sxplains How it May X Determined. By measuring a hundred millionth degree of temperature and a trllllonth of an ampere of electric current, Dr. C. G. Abbot of the Smithsonian Institution has determined for the first time the heat spectrum of starlight, as he announced In an address at the Carnegie institution of Washington. Working with the 100-inch telescope at Mount Wilson observatory this fall, Doctor Abbot measured the heat at different parts of the spectrum of ten stars and the sun. The rays were dlfr persed by a spectroscope In a band similar to tbe rainbow. The bright star Capella, which Is very similar to our own sun In Its spectrum, wss found to furnish the equivalent of one horsepower to an area on tbe earth approximately equal to the state of Minnesota.. But this prominent star is feeble compared with our sufl, which Is equal to a hundred billion Chpellas and sends down on twenty square feet heat equal to a horsepower. On the whole earth Cfipella's heat equals 000 horsepower, and as all the stars together equal 500 Capellas, this would amount to one-quarter million horsepower over tbe whole earth from the stars alone. Scottish Estates Being Sold. Enormous estates In Scotland are going under the hammer, due in many cases to" the taxes that have followed the war. As many ss 810 square miles of forests, grouse moors and farms, with salmon and trout fishing, whole rivers and lochs, Islands and mountains, and comfortable houses are offered for sale at the present time, Including a large part of the Caledonian forest. Yacht anchoragss and sea fishing are plentiful. The briefest statement of the game bags on some of the properties, and of the average takes of trout and salmon, brings into strong relief the fact tbat, like Scott's "Finnan haddock," the sporting thus Indicated "has a relish of a very pecullsr and delicate flavor," Inimitable elsewhere. watching for a chance to steal a from you.
