And as thev traveled, thev came upon the lands of the vellow-haired people. And b and his vviFe spent a short time among them, drinking a strange new liquid that was made from the grains of the fields. nd the golden brew made Ab and his wife feel light-headed, so that they did things that were strange to them. Then the bid farewell to these people and ventured into the land of the boot. And here the peo- ple were of dark skin and black hair. Thev too had a liquid that was new to Ab and his wife and it was made from the grapes of the vines. And the people told of their descendants, who had come from a far-off land by way of the sea-in-the-middle-of-the-land. They told their story so well that Ab and his wife asked for a boat and set sail to find this ancient place. And the ' came upon the finger lands that streched and pointed into the sea. And those of the land wore long skins and were of an active nature, so that they held man ' competitions of skill and the win- ner was crowned with a wreath of laurel. And the gods of the land sat high upon a mountain, smil- ing down upon the people, and Ab and his wife were welcomed and thri -ed under their eyes. But after man ' da s the ' mo ed on. Dr. Adult 1.

CHcU One day Ab ' s wife came to him and told him she was bored, so she prevailed upon her mate to make a trip. And even though it was against his will, he agreed, and the next dav thev set out. After traveling for a few weeks thev came to a ri -er and in the middle of the ri ' cr was an isle. And there were people living on the isle who rowed across and welcomed Ab and his w ife and brought them to their village. Here there was a rare perfume in the air, and upon further investigation, Ab found that the scent was clinging to all the women. And for the first time Ab noticed that they were all beautiful; he also noticed that there seemed to be a woman behind every tree— and there were many, many trees. Ab ' s wife noticed also— especially she noticed the gleam in her mate ' s eve. And she was jealous so that she went to the market place and there bought many different skins to wear. She was most fond of the rarest skins, as women are wont. And Ab was kept busv for many days working to pay for what his wife had bought. And finally he became so tired that in the middle of one night, he awoke and carried his wife to the ri er. He borrowed a boat, and the rowed across, leaving behind the isle of desirable women and expensive skins. Dr. Douglas H. Orrok Dr. Gladys C. Cook PI DELTA PHI, National French Society Dr. Jean A.

And Ab and his wiFe continued their journey, crossing the range of high mountains and entering the peninsula. And the people of the land were warm and friendly and colorful and the food they served was hot to the tongue and brought tears to the eyes. One day as Ab and his wife were crossing a wide plain they heard the snorting of an animal and turned to see a great black beast with curving horns charging down u|5on them. Ab mo- tioned his wife behind a boulder and tried to hit the beast with his club, but the club struck a rock and was broken in twain. As the great creature snorted and pawed the ground, Ab took off his cloak and waved it before him so that the enraged monster tore it with his pointed horns. At last Ab picked up a pointed stick, and as the beast charged for the third time Ab plunged the stick behind its head. And the animal fell and was dead. Ab ' s wife came from behind the boulder clapping her hands. And she took the rose she was wearing in her hair and threw it at her husband ' s feet. Ab picked it u|i and kissed it, and walked off the plain to the clicking of castanets. A South American custcim a BuckncU custom Miss Beatrice E. Gonzalez Mr. Frank A.
