the Inter -European Payments Scheme, between June, 1948, and
June, 1949, gave some of her neighbors the equivalent of $244,000,-

Holland and Denmark. In the last three years Britain has export-

it to Europe. -

In the following story Mr. Slo-
man has made reference to the
Seatorth Lions Park and has com-
mented on the excellent work of
the club:
Once upon a time, on the 20th
of last month to be. exact, there
was a beautiful princess who lived
in a great house with thirty-nine
rooms and maids, all dressed in
spotless white, clothes, to come at
beck and call and to carry silver
trays with dainty tea -cups, or vas-
es of cut flowers, to set in windows
where sunlight would make the
hues. seem to change.
She -,vasn't a Princess of royal
blood, but she was very beautiful.
She wore a gaudy ribbon on her
hair,- which was blonde 'almost to
snowy ' whiteness. Her deep-set
brown eyes looked almost black,
for her complexion was a sort of
lustreless platinum.
Her divan was a clever piece of
furniture wrought by some genius,
name unkown, in the world of as-
sembly lines. It was of intricate
construction, and so wonderfully
devised that a maid could manipu-
late a little lever and without the
slightest effort on the part of the
Princess, the head would come up
a bit and the feet go down a bit
and the Princess would be almost
in a sitting position. Then the
whole divan and the Princess could
be wheeled to the window where
she could see the baker boy in his
cart passing, and sometimes see a.
child with a ball, and sometimes
see a carriage with white ribbons
tint] laughing •people, and some-
times see a funeral passing slowly
ani quietly 00 its way to Mo'int
Pleasant. Cemeter
The Princess d she was the
Lady of Shallot, odern version,
and streamlined, for she had a
wonderful bed -with levers and
wheels. 34
She could turn her head ,just a
little bit without help of a maid,
and reclining there in the luxury
of idleness. she could weave pat-
terns in a web of memory with the
baker's wagon, and the child with
a ball, and .carriage and the fua-
eral as a motif and fancifully dec-
orated with the real child who died
in France in 1916, and the Lwo
stepsons who have not been hack
since the last.war-
She could probably weave in pat-
terns too of the stepson in Buffalo
who did not write to her, even
once, since she gave him the pro-
ceeds of her insurance money to
start. -Inc little business, which now
has grown so that he is very busy
directing the labours of several
hundred workmen.
From the great house, with its
thirty-nine rooms, the Princess can,
