Because of the laborious life after marriage, early wedlock among Solomon Island women is rare. As an encouragement to marry, the Chiefs occasionally arrange betrothal dances. The plan is to stand 30 or 40 females in a row. Each male has an object (some species of native fruit) which he rolls toward a female. Should she lift the object she must marry the male. Frequently not a single object is lifted-Pulganbar." Trousers.

Miss Rebecca West writes to her friends in London that she is hav ing an uncommonly good time in America. She has large audiences at her lectures, and she is meeting all the interesting people. Where- ver she goes she is interviewed, and nobody can, to use American word, make an interview more "snappy". Some interviewer asked her whether polygamy would not solve the fact that England has two million surplus women.
"No man," Rebecca answered, "is sufficiently interesting to keep more than one woman amused." Conservation.
A young woman who was reared in an Eastern Kansas town read in a poultry journal that poultry- raising was remunerative, so she decided to try it. She purchased a hen and set her on thirteen eggs. She wrote to a, poultry journal that, poultry raising was much to her liking and wondered how long the
lien should remain on the eggs,
The paper wrote, back, Threc weeks for chickens and four weeks for ducks." Later she wrote to the poultry journal as follows: "Many thanks for your advice about the setting her. She remained on the hest three weeks and at the end of that time there were no chickens hatched. As I did not care for ducks, I took her off the nest and :sold the eggs."
