" » (Continued from Page Two) “Wfrar do yd come frae?” she then queried. Thinking to completely befuddle her I said, .“Wingham, Ontario, Canada.” Wfifh these words her countenace glowed, a smile parted her lips and the characteristic dimple showed which looked familiar to me. “Aye, my suspicions are verified,” the dancing teacher exclaimed. an. old student friend o’ mine, that’n 'I’m sure o’.” Oh! it can’t be, I thought, but — Isabel Darling. .“Come awa’ into my parlour chat a. wee while,” she asked, looking quite elated about my visit. - I myself, quite happy and excited, followed hey" into her little parlour where we talked over tea and scones. “First enlighten me, Isabel,” I ask­ ed “by explaining, the why and the wherefore of your living in Scotland and hoW the Scotch dialect ever got such complete control over your ton­ gue.” “Well, it’s a long story, but I’ll make it as brief as I kin,” she replied. “You ken I signed up in 1946 as an ambulance driver in the War and I must tell ye I had some ver-ry thrill­ ing experiences. I would n’ ha’ done it except o’ course that Ed was still at the front — sich a brave lad. Well, peace being signed twa years later — an’ Ed and I both still alive, although Ed wasna ver-ry weel, we took the ovws of matrimony.. ' Instead o’ goin’ back to Canada we sought this wee re­ treat which was the blacksmith’s shop of Ed’s grandfather, old Andrew Mac­ Farlane. “Ed’s health was failin’” and taking (out her handkerchief, Isabel continued, “he breathed his last breath poor mon, at breakfast one mon^five years ago* I was sae upset that 1 did- n’a ken whar to look, Finally I de­ cided to tear down the blacksmith ship and built a little place where I could teach the Highland Fling. And Ed used to play the bagpipe^ so well,” she sighed. “As for my Scotch dia­ lect, it "just came natural to me. I didn’a keri how I’d git along without it,” “I gather then that you’ve had a very lonely life these past few years, Isabel,” J interrupted, "Well, it wad ha’ been but I start­ ed this wee business which occupies most o’ my time, And also there are several old friends around here too,” I roused myself in my chair in eag­ erness. “Oh, do tell me, Isabel.” “Well, there’s the McCammons, you remember, Frances and Malcolm. They have a little cottage and a big chicken ranch a few miles from here. Frances was telling me that Malcolm was trying a new experiment with his chickens. He’s feeding them heather to” see if they’ll lay eggs wi’ flower designs on thejn.” “The McCallums, that is Julie and Mae, live way back in the Highland but I dinna see them very often be­ cause they spend a’ their time watch­ ing the sheep on their farm.” “And the McLaughlins^ well they’re the nobility of Glasgow. Why, Muir is mayor of -the city and I do believe that it has kinda’ gone to hisa head. Muir struts around here in his kilts and hardly ever recognizes' me. But Keith and Meta lead the Glasgow Kil­ ty Band. Meta is one o’ my best danc­ ing pupils and Keith took a few les­ sons before he learned to play the bagpipes.” Looking at my watch I knew it was time that I got back/to the airport, so I.-bade adieu to my old friend and started back to the Clipper. All passengers aboard, the big ship soared up into the sky again and in half an hour we were «in' gay Paris. These modern planes sure go fast! It was night As soon as I had hcecked in a L’Hotel de France, I tax­ ied to a night-club “Les Belles' Gan- adiennes”, which sounded very inter­ esting to me. Upon entering I checked my wraps and was about to walk away when I glanced again at the hat-check girl — a tall ravishing blonde. She spoke and I knew at once it was Margaret Marsh. I told her of my previous ad­ venture and asked her if she knew! 1 the Bargain. . all the way from camp!

Hull Asks Copy of Cromwell Speech Washington — State Secretary Cor­ dell Hull directed James H. R. Crom­ well, the United 'States minister to Canada, to send him at once an offic­ ial version of. Cromwell’s Toronto speech priaising Anglo-French war aims and criticizing Germany. Hull’s request for copies of the speech, made before two Canadian Service clubs, Was of, some significance since the' state department usually waits for the envoy, who makes- a speech to send it im man, from his accent to his little black myself at a table in the corner.

Donald Ross and Evelyn Edgar were there— the liveliest jitter-bugs on the floor. Donald had got a job in France and ‘talizing music filled the air. It had the same beat as that famous old Am­ erican band of Artie Shaw’s once had. Gazing closely at the tall orchestra leader, I recognized the person of Cull Roberts, but, instead of stretching up in height, Dick was now spreading out in width. What a peculiarity! And who was that sweet little songstress wailing into the “mike.” None other than Isabel Lamb. She and Dick had combined their talents and were now leading the smartest swing band in. Europe. Dick explained to me after the show how that he just couldn’t make a go of it with his band in Am­ erica so he decided to go somewhere where people wouldn’t know him so well. Thus, he and Isabel wound up in Paris where they are meeting great success.
