Now Ill tell you all about It. As John Pendlehaven raised her to her feet, Tonnihel lifted her head and fixed her tearful eyes on Captain MacCauley. You promised you'd never tell anybody, she murmured. Her mind was with the dead Kdlth Devon, and the words of her own serious reverent onlh given In the presence of her wild-eyemother would not allow her to consent that Philip should lift the stigma heaped upon her by the Curtis d women.

Katherine, weve got to get hpr away by some means. She's bewitched John she's brought Paul up from his grave and there's no telling, she may usurp your place in their wills. "And now shes hoodwinked Philip, gulped Katherine. "Cant you think of some plan? Cant we claim she steals or something like that? John wouldn't believe It, especially now that Iteggle Is coming home, was the answer. 'His letter today said hed he here very soon. Everything that happens in this house out of the ordinary Is blamed on my poor troy." And she began again to cry. Great Heavens, mother, don't do that, screamed Katherine. Can't you see weeping doesnt do any good? You make me so nervous I could fly. We've got to make s'ome plan to get her out of here. While you're sniveling all the time, you cant think.

In addition to differences in the official ceremonies by which the presidents of the world are inducted Into office, there are many varlarhms In the festivities and celebrations that accompany these exeurs. In some cases the accompanying observances have become practically a part of the ofllclal procedure. The newly Installed French president almost invariably drives to the Hotel de Vllle, the Paris city hall, after taking office, to attend a luncheon and reception as the guest of the president and members of the municipal council. In Mexico, during the evening preceding the midnight Induction Into office, the president elect usually attends a banquet given In Ills honor by the mayor of the City of Mexico. There Is a public reception at the presidential palace the morning after the inauguration. In Chile the Inauguration day Is often closed by a special concert at the municipal theater, and on the fol lowing evening the new president gives a state banquet for diplomatic representatives, special envoys and high officials of the republic and the prov- stone.

But according to press dispntches the Icelanders made an aptca! during the past winter to Norway, the nearest European country, to ship them Ice in order that they might save their herring harvest from being spoiled by the mild weather. The laud which has come down lu history as Iceland might with more accuracy have been given a diametrically opiHfsIte title, and called The Land of Fire. The surfuee of no other country, perhaps, Is so deeply marked by the withering blasts that well up from time to time ; and In no country of equal areH are to be found so many volcanic peaks and vents. 0 Nearly 5,000 square miles of the of the country's area are covered by lava flows. Icelund Is approximately the size of Ohio and about 8, (UK) square miles larger than Ireland. It Is only a short distance off the Europeward coast of Greenland, and its northernmost cape Just touches the Arctic circle. From there the midnight sun can be seen. In spite of Its position so near the North pole, Iceland, thanks to the Gulf stream, has a relatively mild winter climate. Reykjavik, the capital, Is Id the same latitude as Nome, Alaska, but Las a January temperature milder than that of Munich, Germany, or Milan, Italy. Icelandic summers, however, are cool, due to the large fields of Ice that float down from the North. Grain cannot be grown satisfactorily, and all breadstuffs must be Imported. Though Icelanders, faced by implacable natural forces and conditions, have been unable to achieve any great degree of physical development on their Island, they have made notable advances In less material fields. A truly remarkable literary development sprang up in this far northern island in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, a full hundred years before the Renaissance began to muke Itself felt In sunny Italy. In more recent times the Icelanders have shown themselves to be in advance of many parts of the world In their social and political Ideas.

The custom of women retaining their own names when they marry Is more general In Iceland, perhaps, than in any other modern country. The political status of Iceland Is In some ways peculiar. In effect It might be said to be an autonomous state In partnership with Denmark. It has no army or navy and Is under no obligation to contribute either men or money to the Danish military forces. Denmark recognizes the countrys permanent neutrality. Furthermore, the present arrangement Is only temporary, and after December 31, 1940, either of the associated countries may demand a revision of the "Act of Union which now unites them 40,-00- lava-covere- short-summere- d n ONLY UNITED STATES HAS AL FRESCO INAUGURATION If President Harding had been Inducted Into the chief office In some other republics on March 4, the ceremonies would have varied from a simplicity even greater than that he Insisted upon, to an Investiture of almost regal splendor. If he had followed the customs long observed in France, the ceremony would have taken place In the White House. Instead of taking a formal oath he would have uttered a pledge to consecrate himself to the service of the republic and he would hove ended by kissing the tetlrlug President on both cheeks. If he had been made President according to the practice of the Mexicans, he would have taken the oath In the hall of the house of representatives at midnight. After the administration of the oath he would have received the embrace of his predecessor. In Brazil after being sworn In, he would have hung across hls chest a broad band of the colors of the country, supporting a medal the Insignia of the presidency. , .

THE WINNING OF THE WEST CA-NAD1- Discovery of oil lu northwest Canada toward the Arctic circle has Increased the Importance of the western Canadian provinces near the United States border, which will be the doorway for the new oil treasury. The prairie provinces of Canada Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta were not without their bids to fame before this discovery. For example; The last of the wild buffalo herds of America, survivors of the millions of animals which roamed the plains aud woodlands of the continent, now ranges through northwestern Alberta. This province alone Is estimated to contain 15 per cent of the world's known coal supply. The myriad of wild ducks, geese, and other migratory fowl that fly northward each spring are for the most part bound for the northern parts of the three prulrle provinces, where they build their nests and reur their young. The three provinces are naturally considered at once, for among them they cover all of Cannda which Is In process of being settled, west of the older Great Lakes province of Ontario and east of the Rocky mountains. This Is Canadas "West, where restless pioneer spirits from all lands are carving out an empire as kindred spirits a generation or so ago wrought the wilderness of the Missouri valley and the "great American desert Into the rich states of today. The Canadian ptoDeers have advantages over those who won the American West, In that they have better railroad methods and equipment, telephones and wireless. But they have a relentless new enemy In the bitter cold of the northern regions of the For though the southern provinces. portions are separated from the United States by only an Imaginary line, and are similar to the northern reaches of Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana, of which they are geographically a part, to the north the three provinces sweep to within 500 miles of the Arctic circle. The predominant part of the population and development of the three provinces Is In their southern halves. In this region Winnipeg, capital of Manitoba, with Its population close to 200,000, Is Canadas Chicago of a generation or so ago; while Edmonton, capital of Alberta, Is the St. Paul of a similar period. The northern portion of the provinces Is a region crossed by many rivers and dotted with numberless lakes, a region divided between woodlands and "muskegs," or swampy flats. There the trapper still reigns supreme and life Is primitive.

The real romance and adventure la the statement lies not so much Id the uses to which these imports were put as where they came from. The sunny Isles and lauds along the Mediterranean probably grew aotne of the flowers, others perhaps were plucked by dark Moorish hands In Algeria, and mayhap an animal In the brooding hills of western China gave Its life to furnish one constituent of the perfume. The vegetable kingdom Is necessarily the most fertile source of perfumes. From Kx flowers such as the rose and Jessamine, and from Its seeds, woods and barks, such ns the spices and even the most fastidious connolsseut would be able to select either some simple odor or a complex bouquet.

Tlie lavender flowers In which our grandmothers used to pack the household linen, and their rich old lace grew best In France and England. The rose geranium, which has such an exquisite odor Is also grown and distilled In France, but Spain, Algiers, and the Island of Reunion engage In the Industry. Unlike the lavender, however, the perfume of the rose geranium comes from Its leaves and not from the flowers. But the country that might well be known by Its scent Is Bulgaria, for Its rose crop is second only to Its tobacco. Over 12,500 acres of land In the provinces of 1hlllppopolls and Stara are given to the growth of rose from the petals of which attar of rose Is distilled. In the wonderful garden at Kazanllk, Kariovo, KILsoura and Stara Zagora, the best of the flower are grown. About four thousand pounds of rose are produced on an acre of land, but it takes about two hundred pound of petals to produce an ounce of oil. for an attar which before the war cost alnmt $250 a pound.
