M, MacDon- gked by students in hether or not it is janada, my native juates go out in the and take unto themselves jobs. When I reply that it is true, amagsement and consternation are usually registered. But the . pre- dominant question is: 'What in the id do you do?' It is a perfect- od al question for an English- man to ask, for when he surveys' the fleld in his own country he sees little opportunity for work in the vacations, With the exception of tutoring there is practically nothing to which he can turn his hand. Why is. 1t that ere are so many more > - "Even the girls are now finding obs in considerable numbers. What known in England as the woman undergraduate, and in Canada as the 'co-ed,' for a long time had dif- fleulty in discovering openings. Now, however, in addition to manv who get stenographi¢ posts, quite a . few are taken as waitresses by sum- mer hotels. That is the statement that most takes aback the average Englishman. As a rule, however, the hotel agrees to take in no help other than university girls, =o that a very pleasant atmosphere is creat- 'ed. An institution that uses a great many girls is the Chautauqua ircuit, a system of travelling shows at include in their programmes musie, plays, and so forth. Many under- graduates of both sexes secure parts fn the plays that are taken about the country, and the positions of | superintendents of the Chautauqua companies are always reserved for girls. They are responsible for se- curing financial guaranteés from the district, selling and collecting tickets, seeing that the 'talent' ar- rives and departs as it should, and, in general, seeing that everything goes off smoothly. Their most try- ing moments are wheu, for one rea- son or another, the 'talent' fails to turn up, and they have to shoulder the task of keeping the audience amused. I think it is in view ot these unfortunate occurrences that girls are chosen for the job rather than men; even in these modern days a @isappointed audience is far less likely to heckle a girl, and cspecially a pretty one, than a mere man." In the woman's department -of the same magaziné the editor says: "In spite of all we hear of the diffi- culties to-day of migrating, there is a steady, it slow, increase in the number of professional women who are seeking their fortunes outside the British Isles. The Society for the Overseas Settlement of British Women made a survey recently of the posftion in Canada, and their considered opinion is that 'any young woman fully qualified in business or professional work can, if she is willing to begin at the bot- tom, quickly find herself in a well paid and useful occupation.' "The struggle for existence is certainly not going to become any easier in the future in these islands; an increasing number of women will' be forced, therefore, to push out into the new world where they are needed. But, as the Society points out, the women who go must be 'fully qualified' There are openings for social workers, nur- sory governesses, secretaries, agri- culturists and others who have proved their ability te- earn their own living, and who are prepared to adapt themselves to new and dif- terent conditions. Two health vis- itors have recently been sent to Tanganylka by the Colonial Office. est Africa provides the greatest scope for the woman doctor. It is said that the native women prefer women doctors, and they have prov- ed themselves 'particularly skilful in combating the wiles of the witch doctor."

Yes, one pair. Twins are never separated when they arg placed in foster homes by official child placing agencies... A second often follows a first ray of sunshine into an ertswhile childless home, and three is not an uncommon re- sponsibility, What percent. of adop- ted children are returned to tfie department, for any reason a prov- incial government official in charge of the work in thé province, was asked. "Not a single one in the case of the babies under two years," was the reply. "If the prospective parent takes a child home, even on trial, the matter is practically set- tled." In the Alberta Government plan a child that is not possessed of a sound physical and mental history is not available for adoption. The prospective foster parent is given all the information he desires and is left to make his own decision. It is not alone childless families who are keen on adopting children, In many cases Where the natural fam- ily is made up of either all girls or boys, a little foster brother or sister is sought and becomes the idol of the household. "Are people much concerned with nationality when they adopt a baby?" "Nationality doesn't mean a thing in the majority of cases," was the official's answer. "When & man or woman sces a child that appeals to them, nothing else mat- ters." And it is a curious thing that in spite of depressing financial conditions during the past year more babies have been adopted than in any previous year in Alberta. Places for baby girls were sought and found, and baby boys were just 48 popular in securing foster homes. 'n all classes of society a demand lor adopted children heretofore un- known has eropped up, and officials of the government are wondering how long it will be before this de- mand becomes greater than the supply. For prospective foster parents things are really made very easy. If they cannot come to the eity to choose a baby themselves, photo- graphs are sent, and the child fol- lows when asked for.

Commissioner, Othe, members of the party included Mr. Fox, Mr, L. Christian, Mr. H. Torre, Mr. R. J. Baker, Mr. R. Woodgate, Mr. N. P. Daly, and Maj- or M, Cairns. : The tour commenced with an in. spection of the exterior ot "Hampton Court," work on which has been practically completed. Involuntary expressions of admiration were heard as the party turned the corner and the building first came into view. The imitation brickwork, which, as has been explained before has been made from moulds taken from genu- ine old English buildings which have withstood the ravages of weather and time for over a century, appeared so realistic that, were it not a sheer physical impossibility, one might be excussed for thinking the building had been transported Bodily trom the Cotswolds, . "Hampton Court" was designed in miniature to represent the genuine building with as much detail as pos- sible and so well have the artists suc- ceeded that, looking at it from the front, and taking into consideration the reduced size, the imitation is life- like. Sir Ronald was very mich im- pressed and did not hesitate to give expression to his thoughts, To the right of "Hampton Court" a street of typical old English houses is being constructed which will form the facade of the heavy machinery pavilion, Work on this section was also well under way and gangs of workmen werg busily employed in putting the finishing touches to parts already. At the back of "Hampton Court" are the railway buildings, also' con- structed in keeping with the period in which the whole exhibition is be- ine carried out. From there a move was made to the Canadian Government pavilion which is one of the largest in the show. Nothing now remains unerec- ted of the jig-saw puzzle -- all the parts have been nailed together in their proper places and the process of filling in the blank spaces between the scaffolding has been commenced In the interior a great deal of work has been oir oe in a .compara- tively short space of time. Some- thing in the nature of a novelty will be provided by the series of illumina- ted pictures which will be let into panels lining the arches of the aisles. There will be 120 of these pictures, all of which were specially painted for the occasion to depict lite and customs in Argentina's great com- petitor of the north. Major McColl, the Canadian Commissioner," showed Sir over the building. The arena, or prize ring, is to be used for the band and open-air con- certs, and will undergo little in the way or transformation. However, at the far enf, the boxes under the main grand-stand have been taken down to make room for an open-air bar and restaurant, The last pavilion to be visited was that of the British Government which Trade Ronald has taken the whole of the Pabellon de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Up to the present no move has been made towards its redecoration or preparation, although, it is under. stood, the Government agent is ex- pected within the nex few days and that work will be cothmenced under his supervision. Four royal coats of arms in plaster hav. arrived, and part of the huge map of the world which is to be installed in the centre of the room and illuminated with special lighting effects. A large number of cultural exhib- its will be on view in this pavilion, to- gether with several up-to-date aero- plares and other attractive exhibits. | Titania's Palace will be housed alone in the small round house beside the latter paviion and a small sum will be charged for admission, Sir Ronald expressed very great satisfaction at all he had seen and toasted the success of the venture in champagne before departing.
