The tea exports from Bengal help India to keep Its reputation as the chief tea exporting country In the world.

She had almost despaired of seeing Iiim when she heard a voice at her elbow. "Check me up, please, before yon go. I'm In a rush," he begged.

Be deposited the load on the seat of the lif.le coupe under . the biggest elm by the side door nnd waited, smiling, as always, it seemed, when he looked at her, and Sallie Beth grabbed her courage by the forelock and yielded to a sudden Inspiration to prolong the encounter. "Can I enn't I drop you where you want to go?" He hesitated a moment. "I was going away out to West-have- to the university," he n began slowly. "Let me take you. It's n glorious day. I'd love it." All the enthusiasm of early twenty was In her voice, and she was grateful for the enthusiasm of early thirty that rose to meet hers. "No argument against it that I can think of or would If I could," he said gratefully, and with a quite tinclerlcal grin as he climbed In. "And you needn't take me too seriously about being In a rush," for she was stepping hard on the gas. "this Is quite the most pleasant thing I've done today and you needn't exceed the speed limit unless you're in a frantic hurry yourself." There was silence for a time after that. The little car threaded its way through the congestion of downtown traffic and came finally into the open rolling country. "Do you know," he was saying, "there's a little girl In St. Stephen's choir who looked a little like you. Her hair Isn't bobbed, though, nor nearly as light as yours" hatless Sallie's short locks were blowing In a golden riot around her head "and she has a most fascinating dimple on one cheek that matches a mole on the other the most intriguing mole you ever saw."

In the East business Is more highly organized, and tlie tendency of great numbers of persons is to fit into the organization snugly nnd safely rather than go out and organize for themselves. You cannot join the group of men in the West without hearin? a conversation about empires. They talk, as a matter of course, of this or that district being an empire. The East Is more of nn empire than the West so far as wealth Is concerned, but persons who talk that way In the East are considered mildly nutty. Thus one Is nvcr surprised to find Harvard ami Yale men In remote little Mountain villages, fl'llng small There may have been more wealth and far nore actual opportunity in the East, hut the precious of their individuality Is not so hard to keep In the West.
