Very few women in moderate circumstances could afford a week end house party for ten or eleven guests and yet there are many women whose seaside bungalows or mountain shacks would in a tight pinch accommodate that many guests. The way to go about the Dutch treat house party is this : The hostess with the room to accommodate a number of guests simply sets her house In order and invites the guests, who come bringing sheets, towels and possibly blankets If the hostess supply is not adequate.

Mountains of the Moon. Is believed to have arisen from a mistaken translation from Arabic; but It has fitted well Into the atmosphere of mystery that surrounded Ruwenzorl for centuries; and It bas a figurative Justification because of the weird appearance of the mountain slopes. The relatively few white men who have made the arduous climb have all noted the Impression that they had blundered Into same alien world. The combination of excessive moisture, altitude and equatorial sun has produced a unique vegetation that In many ways is utterly fantastic. Vegetation Is Extraordinary. After emerging from the dense tropical forests of the lower slopes, a climber feels like a Lillputian visiting the meadows of Brobdlngnag. He walks among parsley plants three nine feet high, bird-seetimes his height, and heather plants, relatives of the low Scottish shrub, that have expanded Into great trees 70 and 80 feet tall. To add to the weirdness, colored mosses brown, yellow, green, white and red are all about under and overhead. They grow In huge cushions that encircle the limbs of the heath trees like giant mushrooms Impaled on a skewer. The unearthly appearance Is heightened usually by fog, through which the strange growths loom dimly; and there Is a continual drip of water from limbs and moss clumps. The way often leads through swamps and muck up to one's knees. Above the heath forests, on less swampy ground, giant lobedlas cover large areas sending their spikes np to twenty feet or more. All about are a variety of weeds, grown almost to the magnitude of trees. Further up are thickets of bamboo through which progress Is The highest extremely difficult. slopes, just below the snow line, are covered with a thick growth of everlasting flowers. Except on its lowest slopes Ruwenzorl Is uninhabited, and above the tropical forests there Is not much animal life. The soggy heath forests are almost devoid of animals, birds and Insects. On other parts of the slopes, where sparse animal life Is found, It forms a queer assortment; a few small mountain antelopes; leopards that prey on them; hyraxes, which are bats harelike conies; of two feet; with a and a few birds and insects.

Egypts The portion of Ruwenzorl lying north of Mounts Emin and Gesal has never been climbed. In addition to making a survey of the western slopes of the entire range, the Belgian expedition plans to climb the peaks of this northern region. Odd Facts About tha Equator. snow has While Ruwenzorl been a popular hard to believe subject, there are other facta about the world's hot line that are, perhaps, equally strange. For example: The equator crosses no deserts. The equator does not touch con-- , tlnenta) Asia. of the equaLess than tor traverses land. The equator cuts Africa nearly In half, traversing the middle section of Kenya, severing the northern third from the Belgian Congo and bisecting the tongue of French equatorial Africa which, with Angola, nearly squeezes the Belgian Congo off the Atlantic coast. In the 2,300 miles across equatorial Africa there are no deserts but torrid jungles, some parts of which are so canopied by trees Interlaced by vines that only pencll-lik- e rays of sunshine penetrate. In this region the traveler meets with tribesnaked, black, men, and such unfriendly beasts as wild elephants, lions and hippopotamuses. Just below Ruwenzorls western slope Is the bailiwick of the Bam-bupygmies, shy, diminutive folk of the Jungles, and beyond Is the domain of Bantu tribes, some of whom relish human flesh. The Masai, among the world's fiercest natives, inhabit the regions to the east of the mountain. Between the western coast of Africa and the coast of South America, the equator crosses no land. In the mouth of the Amazon it traverses Mexlana Island and then plunges Into 2,000 miles of jungle land, almost as Impenetrable la places as the Jungles of Africa. South Americas Jungle. Equatorial South America is the land of Indians of yellowish and reddish hues with straight hair which is cut as though soup bowls had been applied to the natives heads as guides for barbers scissors. The largest animal Is the tapir, and ant eaters are abundant At the eastern base of the Andes, the equatorial traveler meets the natives who are proud of their art In shrinking human heads to the size of an orange, with the hair and skin intact. From their hot Jungle homes, the Jivaros can see the Andes of Ecuador and western Brazil. Quito, capital of Ecuador, nestles In the Andean hills, about fifteen miles south of the equator. The equator begins Its trans Pacific flight, by crossing the Galapagos islands and then makes a long Jump to the East Indies, where It traverses Celebes, Dutch Borneo and Sumatra, missing Singapore, the nearest point of continental Asia, by only 90 miles. These d regions are Inhabited by natives, some of whom show traces of Mongolian, Hindu and Malayan blood. From Sumatra westward, the equator touches no land until It strikes Kenya, East Africa.
