But it was the Persian custom to retire immediately afiter the meal, and in a moment the old Persian would be bowing and exâ€" cusing himself.

She combed her hair, using the comb and mirror in the little case she had pushed into the pocket of her slacks that morning. Then she lay down on the broad divan and remained staring into the shadows in a kind of dream. And, indeed, everything did seem like a dream; all this was so far from home, and so unexpected. Guthrie, tco, was like a person whom one met in a dream; so abruptly had she been thrown into close contact with his personality. This seemed to be the land of nightingales, Lynne splashed ccol water on her face, and stood up, dryâ€" ing. with the clean, rough towel. She looked out at the dim fragrant night beyond the grating. What a strange, enchanting place! He went out; Lynne set the bowl of water down on the sill of the winâ€" dow. She was confused by his manâ€" ner, with puzzling mixture of hostility and an obvious desire to be on more familiar terms with her. Outside a nightingale began to sing Nightingales!

Only a few days ago we read that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had recommended to the Department of Justice the banning of the sale of air guns to boys under 16 years of age.

The Biological Survey of the United States has announced that one of its waterfowl cbservers may attempt the solution of this last waterfowl mysâ€" ‘ery of the continent, and others are known to be interested in solving the mystery. One of the least widely known of he wild geese of Canada is Ross‘s Goose. It is a small white goose no larger than a wild Mallard duck. It winters in California and in migration travels along a narrow line which takes it @zross the Rockies to Montana. northward through Alberta, and then somehow beyond Great â€"Slave Lake or Great Bear Lake it flies off into the unknown to nest no one knows where.

He said afterward, when describing the incident, "I knew at once she could cook." Margaret‘s plain little face was still pink with excitement and pleasure at being chosen above all that roomful by such a masterful gentleman.
