She was very far from London
:suburbs and the srdl'eetle of the :City,
tar away, too, erolu Iiraokom Tor
knell, Lt was extraord1inlary how
much OM could epcperiewee in, a
,hoot time. IF'or yearly she had
lived in a groove, meeting the same
pepple, doing the 'same things every
day. It eeeane'd; a, 'waste, looking
!Oven• when, tkdngs bad happened
to make, her unhappy, it was beau-
tiful to walk through the green
forest ways,. Trees were kind',
comforting Ohdulge.
She had, been warned not to go
teo far and base heitself, but she Was
loth to turn back, and Was getting
thirsty. arr•omr tibe 'end' of a drive
she could+ see a white gate, and it
Looked like. the entrance toe. house.
Going. to-- the gate, she saw an old
Sulm'blons'e and a garden where
;fruit trees and. dowers grew in pro-
fusion. The beds were like great
nosegaee' and a rosy-clteeked old
lady- was, coming down, the path,
pausing to pick off the dead blooms
with Canterbury berms.
She smiled when eke saw Saily,
and the girl was encouraged to
ask—
"Could I have a drink of water,
'please? I have to get back to
Quee'n's Copse, and I'm so thirsty."
',Come in, any dear, and rest
under the tree," said rate old lady
hospitably. ""1'11 get you 'a glass Ot
milk. 'That's better than Water on
a hot day like this.""
"'flow kind of YOU." said Sa11Y
gratefully.
She sat down in the lovely garden,
and behind the house 'she could see
a field, where caws Ivere gt'azing. Pt
was very peaceful.
The old. lady went into the house
Ito reappear with a liars 'tray. On
it twast a glean 01; Mills, cool from the
dairy, and a ellee of cake.
"Hew demlcioum it looks." cried
Sally. Hex appetite, which bad
failed for a few days! had come
back to her in the. fresh fores�t.air.
The crake tasted as good .ea it look

olds lady. "My nephew from Lon-

like mune. My husband, never eats

married and: gone."
"1 used ,to live .In London.," said
Sally. 'Pre never been here be'
fore, and it's, so beanbiful,"
"Weill," said 'the old lady, "I've
lived here for fomtly years—ever
since I was married—and I was born
not far away. I've never travelled
far. and never wanted to."
"That's because you're happy
here," said Sally.
"'Perhaps it is, my dear, though

Forty years since she had come to

how blest were the lives of such

I forgot to notice‘ which drive I came
by to the crony reside. I think i@
was the one' on the left. But they
are all so much alike."
"Not the leen," cried the old taby,
"You must take the middle path for
Queens! 'Copse, The others will

easily miss your 'way just there."
"The middle !path. I'll remem-

"Here's my nelphew coming. He'11

SIally had risen to go. She dropped
back on the garden -chair; over
whelmed, for coming firom the field,
and crosedivg the garden •tows
histo, she saw Frank Hillyer,
Frank, coatless, with the collar of
his sh'int open and his sleeves rolled
up, and a week's tan -on his skin.
Sloe could hardly believe her eyes.

great as ber own.

fantastic.
He opened the garden gate for
h''r, and they went out together into
green shadows. of the beeches.
Sally was remembering what she

CREATING PICTURE CHANCES
A "created" picture—the photographer spilled the milk, and the kitten did
the rest. Develop natural situations to get more interesting shots.
iT'S fun to loop for picture oppor-
tunities—
ppor-
tunities— but it's more fun to
create them. And many of the Brest
picture chances are created dclibel•-
ately by the photographer.
If you wait for things to arrange
themselves for a picture, you're just
trusting to luck, and you play have
a ling wait. But if you take a few
steps to create a situation, you'll
find it
to
get
just the picture
yeti want--wilen you want it.
For example, look at the picture
above. Is there any point in waiting
for sue11 a situation to occur eater -
ally? Not a bit. It's much simpler to
spill the 011115 right whore you want
it—place the kitten where you 11'lslr

In shooting outdoor scenes or

Such a figure adds foreground inter.

scene beyond. In picturing snow
scenes, tramp out a path leading into
the scene where itwill help the com-
position of the picture. Such devices
often add boiler' pictorial quality
t0 your•. shots,.
In taking action shots, don't trust
to chance. If possible, arrange with
your stlbJect to have the desired ac-
tion take place at a 0110se11 spot.
