Here and there a chair had been recov- ered, otherwise the room was as Ivor had known 'it since his baby- hood. Electric. light, gas, motor- cars and the telephone were un- known at the River House at that time, though Ivor often talked of the improvements which he intend- ed 'to make. "Yes, my dear," Aunt Anthea would agree, "when you marry all these things must 'be done. The two bathrooms were put in when your dear mother was a bride, and the west- bedrooms were redecorat- ed and the new brougham bought. It was. my •dear mother who chose the Chinese paper. Wall -papers were expensive in those days, and this one is all put on in squares— not ih lengths like the papers now." "Jolly old pawsaid` Ivor.

This good soul's appearat„Mte mir- rored her•.•:teinperaMent, width al`aa was gay and haphazard. The do- mestic arrangements of the Vicar- age were 'a never -failing source of inxerest,in the neighborhood. When conversation languished some one would ask, "Oh! have you seen Mrs. Blankhasset?" The Wallington vicar's wife was, as a topic, simply invaluable. To Mr..GrIntiel-Thorpe, an elder- ly bachelor with • a sense of humor, she was a mine of amusement and an object of respect and affection, and as he.was a local magnate his marked •predilection for'her society mitigated the effects of the surpris- ed disapproval with which most of the dowagers regarded this "odd" person. Lady Carlton, at any time like a plump toad, when in the society of Mrs. Blankhasset be- came more toad -like than ever, sit- ting staring with protruding eyes, following :ponderously the agile conversational leaps of the lively Blankhasset- Lady Carlton. was slowly adopt- ing dopt ing her most toad -like expression when the door opened and Lady Hanover, cheerful and bustling, •in petunia satin with a. few good diamonds and a bertha of old lace, followed. ,by her daughter and Mr. Grindel-Thorpe, caused her to be- come more human again. Lady Hanover was a popular person, full of cheerful common sense and practically expressed sympathy for the woes of other people. Ivor welcomed this good lady, and then as she turned' aside he saw Jean, and seeing knew that his time had come, and that his Princess and the. woman who must be his' wife stood before him. At nineteen, Jean Fordham was• a very lovely girl. Tall, slight, with dark-browed, dark -lashed grey eyes, and a curved red mouth, her purely pale face was framed' in hair of the ' softest flaxen Dressed exquisitely .in white, a string of pearls round her soft neck, she was, a vision of beauti- ful untroubled, youth. Dinner was announced. In a dream Ivor gave his arm to Lady Hanover, and the procession made its way into the dining -room, From his place Ivor could feast his eyes on Jean, and. his wander-, ing attention was cloaked by the' cheerful stream of conversation which emanated from Lady Han- over's lips. Lady Carlton, on his. other side, required but little attention, for the 'dinner was good and she ate her way through it with steady ap- preciation.

OV trip 1s over and we are 'back. •in Canada with .n wknowied e of c •d itions the of l an in oldland‘ We 'have also gained, a stiO greater appreciation .of our own country and the standard, of living we enjoy here.

Whether this is true or not, we are not in.a Peattion to jedge. ,Our general impression of conditions in Britain are, on the whole, quite favorable. it is true that they are passing through strenuous` and un. certain times and that the cur- rency situation is bad. But on the other hand, despite privations., they remain cheerful and calm' and seem Ito feel that their present din ficulties are only temporary. We didn't'find the same worrying about the future and about the possibili- ty of war as there is in this coun- try and certainly not, nearly as much as in the United States. British Farms Highly Mechanized The farms we visited were not only mechanized but employed the most modern and efficient meth- ods and had higher crop yields than Ontario farms. ave were quite amazed at the advanced stage of mechanization of farms in Britain. The stables were spotless and' the milk was handled so carefully that it was not exposedto the air be- fore it reached the consumer. During our travels we came in contact with the farmer, the in- dustrialist and• the ordinary busi- ness man. Strange to say, no one appears to be in accord with the present labour government, yet all seem to feel that their program is the right one to pull the country together. Most of the people 'we talked to expressed the opinion that in the event of an election the government would be re-elected be- cause its policy has been to im- prove conditions for the labour class which holds the balance of power. It is quite evident that the average citizen feels that the Lab- our Government has come to stay, for a while at least If this is true, I believe one can expect to see the old governmental policies that have been adhered to for genera- tions, greatly 'revolutionized. We were interested to learn the average Britisher's reaction 'to the cancellation of the government's food contract with Canada. Every- one we met, particularly the farm- ers, seemedto regret and even re- sent the government's decision in this matter. The people expressed sympathy for Canada and said the action was a poor return for the part Canada 'had played in the war and post-war years in providing men, money, and supplies to help them through( However, they did feel that it was probably the only course open to the government in ents she discoursed with the vicar upon the difficulty of finding cooks, a subject which int^*P"ted him strangely little, as fortunately for himself he preferred 'to live on pat- ent foods out of tins, a special kind of meat lozenge and unappetizing - looking grey biscuits, while Mrs. Blankhasset ate when food was there, and shared the grey biscuits when nothing else offered. The vagaries of the Vicarage cooks therefore, though of thrilling inter- est to the . village, passed almost unnoticed by their employers. (Continued Next Week) Don't suffer airy loner.

Need International 'Pl.awing Rules This is the third year 'that Cana- dian anadian plowmen have visited Britain arid I 'believe it has been profitable both for us and for the British farmers. However, there is an urg- ent need for greater uniformity in regulations, type of plows usedYand standards of judging at the match- es. As things stand, the Canadians are at a disadvantage when com- peting in Britain ' and the same thing applies when the British compete in Canada. British plowmen are anxious' to participate in Canadian matchies and plans are under way to make this possible. It is hoped that the English teams will be able to get sponsors who will take care of their expenses on the same basis as the firms who sponsored us. A trust fund has been established for this purpose and Mr. L. A. Greene,' of Port Arthur, Ont., is trying to i interest Canadian business men in subscribing to this fund. Mr. Greene came from Workington, England, and is a vice-president and Canadian representative of the' Workington Agricultural Society.
