To Broadédst Tomorrow Evening HER ROYAL HICHNESS PIUNCESS ELIZABETH Patroness of the Canadian Junior message to the Juniors over the Broadcast tam RR Cross, will broadcast a special Trans-Canada network of the Canadian g Corp day evening, Sept. 29, from 6.38 to 6.45 p.m., to mark the beginning of the Canadian Junior Red Cross Enrolment Week, This World (By the Woman's Editor) We Live In It's rather humiliating to find that the consistency upon which one prides oneself is a very uncer- tain quality. For instance, only the - other day, we said very emphatically that the plot of a certain story was "absolutely improbable"--the queen of some little European kingdom fell in love with an American real es- tate man and ultimately marri him. Of course, a revolution de- ved her of her crown but even en-- Then we came across a true story --not in a True Story magazine, either--in which a Nebraska farm- er's daughter became a $12-a-week stenographer, later a $250,000-a- year executive and finally the wife of an lish lord, Evelyn Brod- stone Vestey's story reads like a novel and it was recalled only be- cause recently her ashes were brought from England to be put on her mother's grave at Superior, Ne- a. It is stories of this kind which make America still the wonderful land of opportunity and miracle to its own youth and the people of other countries. Becomes Stenographer Evelyn Brodstone, the youngest gradudte of the high school in Superior, at 14 went to business college to help support her widowed mother, Her first job was as sten- pher with the Vestey Packing Company in Chicago, and the sal- ~ 8ry, $12 a week, One day when the regular secre- tary of the owner and manager, William Vestey, a wealthy English- man, took ill, Evelyn was called to take her place. The following in- Struetions then went to the offce "Hereafter send that new girl from Nebraska when I call for a stenographer. + 8he knows her busi- ness, Mr, Vestey proved right in his Judgment for in course of time she was called into business councils, Was made a director of the Packing Company and when Mr, Vestey was in England, she would take charge of the Chicago plant. After a few years, she moved to London where she established a great empire meat corporation and 'a steamship line for carrying Vestey meat, Her sal- ary was $250,000. She travelled all over the world, learned 12 languages and set up her Company's meat plants in almost every country she visited. Goes to Australia When World War 1 broke out, she was living at home in Superior with her mother, but, giving up her re- tirement, she went to Australia to organize a meat industry there. Her life was miraculously saved in Moscow during the Red Revolu- tion. The hotel in which she tried in vain to get accommodation was blown up by the Reds the day after her arrival. With the end of the war, she re- tired again to Superior and among her activities--such a woman as she couldn't help bejng active--was the management of "the local baseball team. Romance came and, true to ro- mantic novels, it was her former employer, who had now become Lord Estey, who married her in 1924 in New York City. Although she lived once more in London, she never forgot her home town. The Brodstone Hospital, the museum, a park and scholarships for the stu- dents of her old high school, all these remind the townspeople of the girl "who knew her business." When she was dying in 1041, five months after her husband's death, she asked that her ashes be taken back to the old home town. And 80, when the World War II was over, her wish was fulfilled. Why have we told this story? To point out a moral? It is so plain that that doesn't need to be pointed out. It is simply to show that real life is so entertaining and instruc- tive that if we substituted biography for fiction we might find our read- ing more satisfying. Venture Blocked By Sugar Lack London, Ont., Sept. 23.--(CP) -- Two hundred preserving "sealers" left today for Baton Rouge, La.--a inted housewife and a scowl- ing husband in tow, The Niagara peninsula's bumper frult crop and Canadian sugar ra- ganged up on them, The Louisiana woman scoured most of Baton Rouge to collect the sealers and arrived in Canada only to learn if she didn't bring her own sugar she was out of luck, She had NO sugar, Hubby says two long motor trips of sitting on empty sealers, sleeping on empty sealers, living with empty sealers--are two trips too many, 'Gives Talks On Marriage Six rules for a happy ma e have been outlined by Dr. Ho Sy.

These two points struck me forcibly, because, naturally I was at a disadvantage at any meet- ing in not being able to know who was a Girl Guide( and therefore a friend already) and who was not, 'Possibly these may sound immater- ial and mundane matters to you, but personally I attach quite a lot of im- ance to both. The wearing of uni- orm, is after all, a sign of our sister. hood and service in which we should take a rightful pride, and the more we wear it the more the general public sees what we are, and we are thus a "walking advertisement" for Guiding and what our movement stands for. "The same applies to the badge worn in mufti (a 'pin" they' call t), and that too has a further value, as being the finest. passport for finding new friends anywhere and everywhere as you go about. 1 would no more fore. f° wearing my Guide badge daily than would miss brushing my teeth." Oshawa Guides and Guiders are not very remiss about wearing their uni- forms, but the Tenderfoof badge is seldom seen on everyday clothes. Why not start wearing it now! 18T BROWNIE PACK The Pack opened last week with a small attendance because there were seven of last year's Brownles who transferred to the Compfiny in a lovely arden ceremony at the end of August. hers were absent.

English Schoolgirls Allowed No Make-Up "I don't see much difference in the way of living here and in Eng- land except that we don't have strikes all the time," was the state. ment made by Mrs, William Dionne, the former Kathleen Joyce Gale of Royal Leamington Spa, England, | who arrived here recently on the Aquitania, which shows that this young bride is too young to remem- ber the strikes and disputes that led to the general strike of 1926. Mrs, Dionne was living in Coven- try when the blitz started in that city, and during one severe raid a bomb fell in the garden causing great damage to her home, Fortun- ately, no one was hurt as she and her parents were in their shelter, but they were all frightened, "The noise was terrifying, she recalled. As a result, the Gale family moved to Royal Leamington Spa in War- wickshire, Royal has been added top the town's name since the present Queen Elizabeth went there to con- valesce and take the mineral wa- ters, for which the spa is famous. Leamington, pronounced Lemming. ton, by the way, is one of England's show places. Lying in the Pennine Chain, it is ever green and sheltered, with a mild year-round climate. There one can see an enormous oak tree called the Round Tree which is cal- culated to be in the very centre of England. It was at Leamington that Mrs. Di met and married W.0.
