She described how her father had prepared sheep-dip mixtures in tub and washed his fock in them while she stood by and attended to the lamba. She was able also by her shrewd observations to sell a great deal about the medicine bottles. One, she said, contained a red liquid she denied that it was brown-and the other was milky.

The cruise of the Arctic Amazone starts in June. These Apinzons of 1928 are wealthy women who intend. spending the summer hunting polar tears, seals, and walruses in the Arctic, regions.
Mr. J. C. Bee-Mason, of Burgess Hill, Sussex, who
was with Sir Ernest Shackleton and in the Quest, the Oxford University Are- tic Expedition in 1994, and the British Arctic Expedition to Franz Josel Land in 1925, is organising the expedition, which is to last about three months. Maron hopes to complete the pas enger list with women.
Mr. Bee-
I find that these days it is women who like to do novel, and adventurous things," he said to a Press representative. "That is why I am arranging this new kind of tour.
"Nothing Dangerous.”
"Not that there will be any hardship. Comfortable. cahins have been installed in the boat and a famous firm has the contract for the catering. The boat will be entirely under the control of the captain, and consequently nothing dangerous will be undertaken.
**Our intention is to go to Franz“ Josef Land, and the women passen. gers will be the first women to set foot in this country..
The scenery is magnificent, and there is permanent dayhght. The shooting is first-rate. The captain of the ship took a party of men out there last year, and they shot thirty-five Polar bears. There are blue foxes and white foxes, too, and plenty of birds, and we shall arrange winter sports.
Is is purely a pleasure cruise but of a novel kind: There will be
