Now Thursday was not Mrs. Ayers usual wash day.

A picnic, perhaps, was coming the Ayers way when the sky cleared, or an eveinng at the theater If the moon broke up doudland. $ . Oh, no! Mrs. Ayers plans were as gloomy as the morning. She was preparing to leave Andrew forever, and to make her way alone in the world. She had arrived at this decision the night before as she lay sleepless, listening to the . angry shuffling of leaves as Andrew progressed with the boek he was pretending to read, and to the tower clock nearby which thunIn all) dered Its strokes (forty-eigdirectly at her aching head.

And Mrs. Andrew lay with a great big hurt on her heart and pondered ways and means for living without Andrew. .. Morning came early In the Ayer household that Thursday, for neither of ' its members had had a night of rest, but only horrible, black waking hours. ; . ; Mr. Ayer descended to the kitchen ih and, starting the gas, prepared his light breakfast. Mrs. Ayer followed, and found her husband seated sternly at the bare dining table, eating toast and drinking strong s, ht semi-darknes- s, coffee.

Mrs. Ayer was busy cleaning up the mess that her husband had left on the kitchen table when he . s made his toast. She came and stood In the dining room door. Mr. Ayer stood In the hallway, hat In hand. They looked at each other for a moment. It was too dreadfuj, parting this way Mrs. Ayer Impulsively held out her arms. Her husband crossed the little room In two strides, and she put her arms around his neck. They kissed each other, though not so warmly as usual, and the door banged after Mr. Ayer.

Now her world had turned upside She had fallen hopelessly down. among her broken plans, and the only way out of the mass of troubles had a gloomy, forbidding appearance. She turned resolutely from the window and, opening the kitchen door, gave the yellow cat his breakfast.

At last she found one that seemed to meet her needs. It stated that the family was small, the wages large and no references required. Of course Mrs. Ayer did not Intend to be a domestic indefinitely. But In this way she might earn some money tm her once beloved studio work could again be located. She shuddered at the thought of being alone In a strange city without money or work. She shuddered still more at the thought of making her escape from 'Andrew and home. The telephone bell called Impatiently. Tes, she replied forlornly. Hello, Flo!

The fisher folk of the east coast of Scotland have habits and customs different from those of any other section of the working classes. Except In selling their fish or purchasing the actual necessities, or occasionally borrowing from the bank when assistance Is required In the buying of an old or the building of a new boat, they have next to no traffic with the outside world. It Is seldom that a fisherman marries other than a fisher lass, and even should she allow her affections to wander, the line Is firmly drawn at a with the cooper or other codling bleed, which means that he belongs to a fisher family. There is a distrust of the fremt as outsiders are termed almost amounting to a racial distinction, and this is emphasized In the implicit confidence one fisherman will place In another, although they may be utter strangers to each other. It is safe to say that the majority of the Scottish fisher folk are teetotalers. An odd fisherman may be met in most of the villages who Is teetotal until asked to have something. Then It is: Well, Im a teetotaler in a kind o a way. Nae bigoted, ye ken; I never took ony pledge. A mans aye best that can templar hlmsel Oh, Ill drink yer health no that I care a preen Na, thank ye, I never pnt for tak water. And half a gill of mountain dew that could peel the bark off a granite monu, ment vanishes. The fisherman Is emphatically of a religious .turn. As a preacher 'he Is a marvel. With fewer opportunities than most men for the cultivation of correct speaking, he can go out Into the square at Stornoway or Fraserburgh, where thousands of his fellows have gathered for the summer herring-fishinand discourse on a text for twenty minutes or so with an eloquence and grip of his subject which might be envied by many members of the cloth, - says a writer in Mac Matters. . The fisherman has his share of weaknesses, and not the least of these are the superstitions, long discarded by others, and some peculiarly his own, to which he still clings. fish-work- 1 t .

Warsaw is forever being compared to Paris, and rightly. The somberness and heaviness and often found In the great cities of Germany, and Russia and England have always been lacking In Warsaw. Even a century of oppression could not entirely break the Polish spirit of gayety and optimism nor alter greatly the results this spirit had wrought in fashioning the Polish capital. To carry the comparison further, the Parisians are lovers of beauty, and so are the people of Warsaw. It is significant that the Polish President who recently was assassinated was attacked at an art exhibition. The presence of the Polish chief executive on such an occasion makes as true a picture as a French' president at a new theater, a British king at a board of trade or a financial congress, or a President of the United States dedicat, ing a great engineering work. Finally Warsaw may. be compared to Paris In some ways upon the score of physical arrangement and appearance. The City Is filled with Impressive old cathedrals, churches and palaces, and, has numerous stately public d boulevards buildings. Wide, radiate from the old city center, some leading to beautiful and most elaborately developed parks. But Warsaw is not wholly a city of wide avenues and open spaces. It has Its ancient portion of narrow, tortuous streets, whose darkness and quietness take one back to the Middle ages. Warsaws history. Is both long and turbulent. It had Its beginnings in the Ninth century; and Its start, like that of many other great cities of Europe, was around the castle of a feudal lord. In 1550 It became the capital of the then powerful Polish kingdom, and has since played a role of Importance in European history. Inevitably It grew to be a great city and Inevitably It felt the hand of numerous conquerors. For geographical position marked It as one of the greatest of European centers. Has Strategic Trade Position. One feels that, like the lines of force about a magnet, Warsaw's lines of trade must have existed from the Now they first, though Invisible. have taken shape In steel and wood; railroads extending from the city like spokes of a great wheel, off toward Petrograd, Moscow, Odessa, Vienna, Prague, Berlin and Danzig. In a Europe at peace it would occupy much the position of St Louis in the United States, though reversed as to directions, lying In a strategic position, between the raw materials and foodstuffs of the East and the factories and consumers of the West; and at the same time helping to exchange products between the North and the South. In addition Warsaw is Itself an Important manufacturing center. Its trade and Industry and politics together have built up a population close to the million mark, making It one of the half dozen greatest cities of the European mainland. The country of which Warsaw Is the cfipltal must not be looked upon as one of the little lands that sprang Into existence after the World war. It Is more than half as large as Texas, and has a population six times as great. To put It more emphatically, Polands population is practically a quarter that of the United States. between PetroSituated half-wa- y grad, which may be taken as representing the north, and Venice on the warm Mediterranean, Warsaw is probably thought of usually as in temperate latitudes. It Is In reality as far north as the southern shore of Hudson- bay or the northern coast of Newfoundland. Its winter, however, Is not so severe ' as the location might suggest, but It Is more nearly comparable to that of New England. j, He who wanders about the streets of Warsaw cannot remain In Ignorance of the glorious past of Poland or the matter-of-factne- Its ODD STMIILFEELS tree-line- . : Bridge in Warsaw. parts her sons have played In the world drama. He will encounter pal-- . ace after palace a large enough num- ber to entitle Warsaw to dispute with Genoa the nickname, city of palaces. They were built mostly during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries, when Warsaw was without a peer In Europe, save Paris. Not Broken by Oppression. No other people In all the worlds history has borne oppression so bravely and gloriously as the Poles, except the Jews. It was said of Warsaw before 1914 that the Russians had to keep a garrison of 200,000 troops to overawe a city of 900,000 people. But the vivacity, the gayety, and the quick wit of Warsaws people survived oppression and even the most gruesome tragedies. As recently as the years of our own Civil war the Russian army mowed down thousands of men and women as they knelt In the snow, singing their national anthem. Deportations are an old story In Warsaw, every effort at nationalization was followed by slaughter, and hundreds marched the long trail to Siberian exile. x Polands spirit, meanwhile, became a synonym for the indomitable. The success of .the Russification of Poland has been described as the process of keeping 12,000,000 Poles pinned to Russia by bayonets. Politically nonexistent; for even Polands name was expunged from all official Russian records, the prewar Warsaw vied with world capitals In science, particularly medicine, In manufacturing, In trade, and In literature and art. Although Warsaw fell to the Germans In the World war, it fell only after months of siege by guns such as had not been known before. It was without doubt, and still Is, one of the best defended cities of eastern Europe. Its Immediate line of forts is .thrown before It at a radius of about 16 miles from the heart of the city. In the immediate line of fortified towns beyond the Warsaw forts, varying from 25 to 40 miles In distance from the city, are Garwolln In the southeast, Grojec In the south, Sklerniewlce In the southwest, Blonle in the west, Novogeorgievsk In the northwest, Pultusk and Segrje In the north, and Praga across the Vistula to the east. The most powerful of these fortresses Is Novogeorgievsk. Stands High Above the Vistula. The country around Warsaw Is a plain, Nlow and flat. Intensely cultivated, and dotted with many Industrial villages. This plain stretches away to the Prussian frontier. To the south there are hill clusters, while In the north, throughout the region adjoining the confluence of the Narew and the Bug with the Vistula, there are considerable stretches of tangled and treacherous marsh land. During the spring and autumn rains, this region frequently suffers from disastrous floods. The floods now and then prove destructive. Novoto be terribly georgievsk fortress lies upon the confluence of the Bug and Vistula, and the swampy stretches near It are part of Its scheme of defense. The Vistula cleaves through this district, through fortresses before Warsaw, through the heart of the and through fortresses metropolis, toward the German frontier, In a broad expanse of between a quarter and a third of a mile In width. Parts of the rivers banks are high, and Warsaw stands overthe Vistula on a steep terrace, lying between 100 and - feet above the river. All the country before Warsaw is an open way of farm and factory. While the soils are not very fertile, being chiefly clay and sand deposits, large crops are raised upon them, crops that have, been forced higher and higher to r meet the needs of the great market. Then, too, the Warsaw district is the most modem and progressive district In Poland, progressive In Its agricultural as In Its manufacture and trade. The Industry of the metropolis spreads out over the city, through the neighboring villages and towns. For 20 years before the World War the Poles turned their energies to Industry with all the seriousness which they formerly displayed In political and with better organization. 140 next-doo- UKEIIEOUAN By Gustjav Wilster, Associate Professor of Dairy Husbandry, Utah Agricultural College Portland Citizen Declares Tan-la- c Completely Overcame ' Stomach Troubles. Practically everyone will agree that of all deserts, ice cream is one of the most popular. Whether summer or winter, a delicious dish of ice cream topping off a regular dinner makes a person feel that the meal is complete in every detail. There is something fascinating about this refreshing and paltable food, whether ' it be plain, snow-whit- e vanilla, or strawberry Ice cream. Most people do not think of ice cream as a food, but it not only adds pleasure to our diet as a dessert or as a cooling factor on a hot day, but it contains approximately 36 to 40 of total solids. These solids are chiefly fat, sugar, and protein and are present in an easily digestible form. Ica cream should not be looked upon as an expensive food, because many other foods cost a great deal more per 100 calories of energy. The per capita consumption of ice cream In Utah Is only approximately 4 lbs. per year as compared with W2 lbs. and 15 lbs. in Wisconsin In and Pennsylvania' respectively. other words each person In Utah consumed only a dish of ice cream a day for 30 days out of the 365 days in the year, figuring a dish of Ice cream weighing 2.5 ounces.

Magnificent MAKING III THE NOME train. The afternoon was spent In sorting out clothing and preparing a wardrobe for the strgnge new work. Then she made the rooms neat and went' out to' find something especially appetizing for the last dinner she was to prepare for Andrew. The mist had scattered and a bright strip of blue sky fringed with golden shone beautifully above the chimney tops. It looked like a good omen In a weary world. Mrs. Ayer stopped at the florists and bought a pot of mauve tulips. The greeting between Mr. and Mrs. Ayer that evening was Just a trifle warmer than the mornings farewell. The dinner was eaten In almost continual silence, but It certainly was a good dinner, and seemed at last to warm Mr. Ayers thoughts Into speech. What would you like to do this evening? Take a walk, eh? The weather Is clear again. Oh, yes, do lets walk somewhere so we can see the'sky and river. . They strolled out on the busy street and turned across the Common. The fields were clothed In pale green, and In the western sky were golden clouds which marked the close of a dark day.
