In ,Ilasgow kind-hearted Margaret Mlsom, cancelled her honey- noon travel plans and sent her widowed elder sister on a much- leeded holiday instead, Straight from the church, Margaret and her husband drove la the sister's house and began looking after the two babies. "It will help us make up our minds," said Margaret, "whether we're ready yet for bairns of our own."" In the same way a Cobham lirl went straight home after her wedding and her eighty- year-old parents went off in the bridal car to catch a train for their second honeymoon. Youth club leader Angus Mc- Gill faced a honeymoon dilemma when he fell in love with pretty Barbara. Clift. He had promised his club members a coach trip to the Riviera and he didn't want to disappoint the boys and girls, Happily ,his wife` agreed to share the honeymoon with the club members and so thirty- three youngsters went to the South of France with them! Yet undoubtedly the most un- usual honeymoon of the year will be that of blonde Josey Glanville. She and her husband, Tall and handsome John Lowe, will share their bridal suite aboard ship with thirteen other people when they sail later this year. Josey and Johia are to cross the A.tlantic in the replica of the Playflower which has been built In Devon as a goodwill gift to ihe United States. The original Mayflower took the Pilgrim Fathers to America In 1620 and the discomforts of tea travel in the frail 180-ton craft probably have not been re- peated for 300 , years. The ,pas- sengers won't have separate cabins, for the pilgrims didn't To complete the strangeness of the honeymoon atmosphere, Josey will wear typical. Puritan attire—a long woollen gown. NO RIM 'Well," said an insurance agent to newly-wed Angus, "now that you're married I'm sure you'll want to insure your life," "Awa' wi' ye," replied Angus.

"All snug-oh?" asked the man with the shifty eyes, whom Carley 'knew for a go-between representing powerful interests. "Right as rain. Cash down of course?" That was always a part of every such clandestine bargain. Nobody trusted any- body else in this underworld of intrigue. The negotiator had a suspicious bulge under his arm- pit. But Carley carried his gun even handier—up his sleeve; a neat little automatic like a toy that could yet account for seven if it came to a showdown, If a man's hand made a sus- picious movement, that little pistol dropped, like magic into a skilled hand, and blazed forth in a trice. "Sure!" said Mr. Hopolius. The money was tabled down, in U.S. notes of high value. Carley counted.i,them swiftly, All cor- reet.i'd at the handling of th&s,.,:golid.:,:money, he felt the old spixiaV:itrngle that another riot- ons • ifv-enture was afoot. A couple "more runs like this one meant, that Dick could offer a settlement on the girl of his choice, and that ought to clinch the deal, considering how pre- sent high taxation affected her noble sire. "We'll pull out at midnight," Simon Carley promised; and was as good as his word. But the Petrel didn't advertise her departure. Tangier teemed with spies of one sort and another, * * * "Something's likely to hap- pen," laughed. Lt-Comander Itibbertson, R.N., commanding H.M.S. destroyer 'Ultra-rapid'. "Ieep your eyes open, watch- keepers. Regular radar-watch." But there was a radar watch aboard the "Petrel" too. When- ever anything suspicious showed on the screen the skipper made quick calculations, stopping en- gines to do so. It was a kind of ghostly duel between two opposing forces. Better to run away than to risk detection and search! Carley " enjoyed this blind man's buff recklessly; he had a feeling that he was gambling with fate for the small fortune that should put his son on vel- vet, !That roll of American cur- rency was stowed away where even a customs man couldn't find it. .If it cable to a show- down he was quite ready to dump his cargo over the aide— the cases were the size that could he easily handled; and they were ballasted with roeks that would sink them hurriedly.

A Man seated near-by threw down a well-read newspaper; and an outsize headline drew Carley's attention. He reached for the newspaper with a 'bit of a chuckle. "Cyprus Terrists Strike Again," he read. Then one name leaped out at him as if limned in fire, "One British soldier shot and killed, seven Others wounded," he read, his mouth parching, — , Private Richard Quentin Carley. Army Pay Corp., shot from behind while returning to camp. The assassin was fatally wounded by return fire. The weapon was probably part of a cargo landed a short while before...."

Language experts have recently calculated that the average vo- cabulary of a child of that age today is 1,500 *words. But other children of the same age in a less favourable environment can speak only a hundred words. In the first year a child ac- quires a vocabulary of no more than from ten to twenty words, although Mary Christine Dunn, the daughter of a Missouri cou- ple had a vocabulary of 3,600 words before she was three. She was such a marvellous talker that long words over which some of her elders stumbled presented no difficulties for her. -Many .very intelligent chil- dren are able to make use of 1,700 words by the time they are five, say the experts. This figure may seem rather high, in view of the fact that the aver- age vocabulary of an educated grown-up rarely exceeds 6,000 words, unless he is a member of certain professions. Clergyine*, lawyers and doc- tors average about 10,000 words. Some journalists know at least 15,000 words, but few writers have ever claimed to know more than 20,000. Shakespeare's . vocabulary consisted of 24,000.

FERGUS LANDRACE SWINE FARM FERGUS ONTARIO CHRISTMAS 'IS COMING — Jack Richmond trims one of 26,000 trees now on his evergreen plantation. The whole thing started as a '`Christmas tree hob- by" seven years ago, but since has grown out of hand. Though he hasn't sold a single tree yet, Jack hopes to unload a few thousand in November and De- cember. Complete Story by Capt. ,Frank H. Shaw "CALL it agricultural mach- inery," suggested the shifty- eyed man, ' Captain Simon Carley nodded. "Where for?" he asked. Then whistled softly as the port of delivery was mentioned. Twenty years of smuggling had robbed Carley of his con- science. He asked what the suggested fee might be, nodded when the handsome figure was mentioned. The Stormy Petrel was well- named. She was a throw-out of the war: had been a fast mine-layer; and Carley's eng- ineer was a genius. Between them they'd renewed' her, into something phenomenal. Some of the turbulent Cen- tral American republics owed government changes to the corn- ings and goings of the Petrel in the past. It was'a sort of Piracy, but it paid. And Carley was ambitious; not so much for himself, but for his..son, Dick, a lad of whom all who knew him had the highest opinion. "He'll go far—be a credit to you," was the music Carley liked to hear. "Nothing he can't reach out for." And young Dick had had the saucy temerity to fall in love with a girl of whom Simon Carley thoroughly ap- proved. She was an earl's daughter; a fine girl. A man needed-money to keep such a girl in the state to which she had been accustomed. Carley went on making money, stacking it up, with that desirable end in view. Dick was ambitius too. ' that's how he came in contact with. Lady Aileen. He cut quite a• dash in society. Simon Carley oversaw the loading of his ship with a sense of satisfaction. It was a night- time job, naturally. Even in such a free port -as Tangier, men, didn't handle contraband openly.
