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. In her few spare mom-

•
to'
su 'tan extent tat eYe' 'ad
ually 1oaing some of their rights,
as
democratic citizens.
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.

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. I
sincerely hope Mr. Green's efforts
will be successful because these
exchange visits are helpful in pro-
moting understanding and co-oper
