So Badly Spoiled!
Thews nothing like a threes
week vacation, at home to re-
veal the laiecy of those who
claim American Women are lezy
end spoiled.
The housewife may be the only
non-specialist left in this, world
of epeeiallseationo She Must be all
things to a considerable number
of people.
She le responsible for the phys
sisal, mental and spiritual wel-
rare of anywhere from one :to a
dozen children and adults. She
superintends growing-up in the
fastest-growing era man has ever,
known. She must know and have
faith — indeed, must BE an ar
title of faith — in a faithless age.
In a time of doubt and tear, she,
must betray no bewilderment or
insecurity. She must be an island
of calm in a frantic world,
If a woman in a Chinese com-
munity works in a rice paddy,
someone minds her children and
keeps house, If a European wo-
man • must discharge high social
obligations, some one else cooks.
If an Eskimo wife must cook and
keeps house and mind the chil-
dren, her man does the shopping
with his gun.
The American woman must
rear a model family, shop, cook,
keep house inside and out, enter-
tain and keep a man happy To
help her, she has gadgets; and
because these theoretically give
her leisure time, she is expected
to participate in great numbers
of activities for church and
school, country and community
and family and neighbor.
She must be the intellectual
academic and artistic equal of,
both husband and children so she
doesn't bring shame to them, but
she must never overshadow
them. She must dream with man
and child and at the same time
be terribly practical. She must
know more rules than a lawyer
and more truth than the great-
est philosopher, and be always
more just than justice. She must
be strong and weak, somber and
gay, sympathetic and tough, de-
vious and direct.
She has to work before a man's
day begins and long after his day
has ended, but always be fresh
ands beautiful. And if she finds
time to open a magazine, she is
sure to find there an article tell-
ing her how lazy and selfiish and
inadequate she is.
She must give infinitely and
receive infinitesimally — and be
happy with it.
No thanks. Make mine the salt
mine.— Bremerton (Wash.) Sun.

On this journey Chaffey took
thousands of feet of eine film,
and 5,000 colour photographs. He
painted enough for six-one man
exhibitions in different cities.
When they arrived back their
children — Susan, ten, and
Charles, seven — had probably
travelled farther and seen more
of the world than any children
of their age anywhere.
At one point their train had
to creep along rails dented and
mishapen by a cyclone. Their
bus journeys and car-lifts were
sometimes over roads strewn
with boulders or thick mud,
skirting mountain chasms.
In their Land Rover, they had
to cross swollen rivers, through
darkness and torrential rain,
scarcely knowing land from wa-
ter, before ,reaching the Peru-
vian frontier.
Near Lanquin, Guatemala, he
saw one river, the Semuc, car-
ried across another, the Calla-
bon, by a natural bridge, the
only one of its kind -in the
world. Nearly eight hundred
yards long, over one hundred
yards wide, it had been formed
by calcium carbonate deposits
and petrified vegetation grade-
; ally thrusting outwards through,
the centuries.
At Nicaragua's oldest city,
Granada, they s t o o d on the
shore of a great lake which has"
three hundred and ten small
islands and probably . the only
fresh-water sharks in the world.
While they were crossing Cols
lembia news came, of a terrible
disaster at Cali. Four army lor-
ries laden with nitro-glycerine
had blown up in the barracks
square, demolishing thousands
of houses, buses, cars and trains.
Chaffey flew there, to photo-
graph the ruins, and in the blaz-
ing heat wandered for hours
among the rubble, smoke and
dust and mangled bodies.
Three thousand were buried
in a common grave in the main
cemetery, which had been tom
Up itself.
In Quitos, Ecuador, he met Dr.
Fergusson, an authority on the
Jivaro head=shrinkers. He told
him that after 'the fierce Indi-
ans had attacked a Spanieh
colonial• outpost General: Sand-
seben, commanding the Peruvi-
an!. Amazon area, sent Out a pu-
nitive force of three hundred
Men and officers armed with
rifles and machine guns.
None returned, but almost a
year later he found sone morn-
ing, in front of the door of his
office,, the dried and shrunken
heads of all he had sent on the
eXpeditiant
Chaffey went into ehe jungle
Villages' and saw some shrun-
ken heads, .but never penetrated
the secret of how they Were
treated. The Jivaros he found in
Sucoa had traded with ,white
visitors and exchanged monkey-
teeth bracelets and Monkey-skin
bags for old clothes, arid these
they never removed, even to
sleep.
The Chief, Quinindo, wore an
old Air Force cap. which he had
not terrieved for over two years:

ing, that everyone was down-
stairs, she tiptoed into the room,
grabbed seine of the dresses
and jewels shich were there
and darted away. Returnirag, or
a second load she was spotted
by Mrs. Von Schellenberg, who
caught her before she could es-
Cape.
Next day Sarah Wilson ape
peered before Lord Talbot, the
Lord High Steward, who sen-
tenced her to life transportation,
Within a month she was on her
way to America, where she was
sold to an employer who put
her to work in his, kitchens, But
somehow she managed to smug-
gle with her a couple of gowns
and some of the jewels which
she had stolen and hidden in
her room.
Having spent many weary
months in Maryland, she decid-
ed to make a dash for freedom,
She knew all about Court life
from gossip in the servants'
quarters, She knew, too, how
great ladies dressed and, behav-
ed. Wrapping her stolen tros
phies in a bundle, she fled on
f o o t to another state. There,
with an accomplice, she let it
be known that a sister of the
Queen Charlotte of England
was soon to visit the district.
The rich landowners were all
agog to be the first to entertain
the "princess," and Sarah Wil-
son soon had a long list of in-
vitations, With great skill she
contrived to "arrive" at night,
with one maidservant, This may
sound strange t o d a y, but in
those days the people in the
remoter parts of America knew
very little of royal etiquette.
For quite a while the "prin-
cess" duped the district, living
free at all the best houses.
Then came the tell-tale slip of
paper, and once more she was
on the run. She was eventually
caught at Charleston, South.
Carolina, and was taken back
to where she belonged.
But once again this amazing
young woman escaped, though
this time she did not pretend
to bd a princess. She simply
told people that she was an
English lady. For a while she
managed to live by her wits and
then, with a stroke of luck, she
found herself sin a town garri-
soned by a crack English regi-
ment.
Among the officers of that
regiment was William Talbot, a
kinsman of the nobleman who
had sentenced her to be trans-
ported. Wearing her best gown,
Sarah Wilson was introduced to
the young officer. At that point
she dramatically disappears from
histerer. Allaredords of her ,cease

she married William-• Talbot !

Can any family rival the re-
cord of the painter F. W. Hay-
man Chaffey for world travel?
In 1949 he and his wife, Patri-
cia, sold all they possessed and
left their old Sussex farmhouse
on the Rother, intending to
roam-Europe with their year-
old daughter, Susan, in a carry-
cot. In fact, they roamed the
world.
They earned their keep paint-
ing, typing, guarding embassies,
guiding tourists, holding exhi-
bitions and selling Chaffey's
paintings. They bought an old
Moorish house on the island of
Majorca and arranged an exhi-
' bition In Madrid.
Chaffey gives a graphic ac-
count of their adventures in
"The Road Grew No Moss," il-
lustrated with his own photo-
graphs and drawings.
In 1955, while in Mexico City,
Chaffey received a cable from.
London offering him a one-man
show at the Hanover Gallery in
February, 1958. So they set out
to cross Central and South Am-
erica to Rio de. Janeiro and re-
turn to England by way of Afri-
ca, earning their keep 'en route
just as they had in Europe.
They travelled 10,000 miles by
bus, car, train and 'plane from
Mexico to Caracas, Venezuela,
'drove another 100,000 miles
south in a Land-Rover present-
ed to them there by a ear firm,
sailed 4,000 miles to Cape
Town, drove 7,000 miles in
South Africa, then sailed an-
Slave Posed As
Queen's Sister
The wealthy guests laughed
and talked excitedly as they
awaited the arrival of the royal
princess — s i s t e r of Queen
Charlotte of England — who
was touring the state of Mary-
land, U.S.
The princess's host had spar-
ed no expense to• make the oc-
casion memorable, and every
landowner for miles around
envied his good fortune in en-
tertaining a royal visitor.
Three trumpets sounded, and
the master of ceremonies cried:
"Her Royal Highness, the Prin-
cess Susanna Caroline Matilda,"
Men bowed and woman curtsied
as a slim, beautifully gowned
young girl entered the room.
With great dignity the lovely
princess received the salutations
of the excited guests. Then, on
the arm of her host, a wealthy
planter, she moved to her place
of Honour at the head of the
decorated table.
Outside, newspaper reporters
were busy scribbling notes of
the ' splendid scene. A n d the-
princess was so gay and charm-
ing that nobddy bothered to
wonder why she should be tour-
ing the smaller towns of-Ameri-
ca. After all, it was 'known that
several other rich planters had
been honoured by her presence
during the last few weeks, and
every hostess was angling to
have the royal visitor for her
own guest.
Then one of the reporters
passed a •slip of paper to a ser-
vant. On it were the words:
"She is a maid named Sarah
Wilson, but has changed her
name to Princess Susanna Caro-
line Matilda."
The "princess," in fact, was a
runaway slave and at last events,
were catching up with her. In
the meantime, she smiled and
joked, oblivious of what was
to happen. „
How did this amazing adven-
ture begin? Sarah Wilson was
born at a sleepy Staffordshire
village in 1750, A smart girl,
she attracted the notice of a
local lady, Caroline. Vernon, a
Maid of Hemour to the Queen.
While still in her teens, Sarah
went to. London with her new
employer, as maidservant at the
Queen's House, on the site of
the present Buckingham Palace.
One night in 1771, Sarah no-
ticed that one of the Queen's
rooms was unguarded. Know-
