The little Inc with the roses overhead seems created after designs by Birket Foster. From out- side, I confess, to a casual observer the first glimpse of East Anglian scenery is by no means reassuring." They strolled up slowly together to the Hall door, where the senior branches were fleeted on'the lawn, under the shade of the one big spreading lime -tree, enjoying the clelicions eoolnese of the breeze as it blew in fresh from the open ocean. Elsie wondered how Hugh and the Squire would get on together ; but her wonder indeed. was little needed; for Hugla, as she had said, always got on admirably with everybody every- where; Be had a way of attacking people It was not till the close of the afternoon, however, that he coteld snatch, few seconds alone with Elsie. They wandered eff by thennolves then, near the water's edge, among the thick shrubbery; and 'Hugh, sitting down 'in a retired spot under the lee of a sheltering geoup of guider -roses, took his pretty renam's hande for a. moment in his cern, and looking down into her great lie& eyes witb. it fond look, erica laughing- ly " 0 Elsie, Elsie, this le juat what Vve been tonging for all day long.

And all the:time, while the good old soul was moaning and droning his drowned land, there was I, just sighing and groaning to get away to a convenient corner with whom I had urgent private affairs to settle. —My own dear Elsie, Suffolk agrees with yon. You're looking this moment simply charming." ,g it's your own fault, Hugh," Elsie an- swered with a blush, never heeding overtly his last strictly personal observation. "You shouldn't make yourself so universally de- lightful. I'm sure I thought, by the way you talked with him, you were absolutely absorbed in the wasting of the cliff, and per. oneily affronted by the aggressive east wind, I was jast beginning to get quite. jealous of the encroachments—For youknow Hugh, it's finch a real pleasure to me always to see you."

The real opposition to opening Thibet to travel and trade is thought to come from Pekin, since Thibat is an integral part of the Chinese Empire, and China watches with suspicion all efforts to gain access tlarmigh this "back door" of her provine.e.s, whose trade and resources she wishes to completely control.
