RAREB REYKJAVIK iContinued from page 385 mine had the indiscretion to go inland over one to see a lake of boiling mud. He rode in a hired Ford and he afterwards told me that there is no pain like the pain of regret. The houses are mainly of wood and corru- gated iron. Some of the older ones have flat roofs covered with live green grass. None of them fare pretentious, although some are trimmed with wooden dragons. The com- mercial and public buildings are very mo- destly builtg in fact, they aren't even inter- esting. After I had explored the naval sta- tion and the Catholic church I began to look into the shop windows. Some of them held pastries that looked as if they might have murderous propensities. I entered one shop and tried to make the shopkeeper under- stand. After exhausting xall the signs in the Indian language and the deaf and dumb code, and adding some of my own, I finally told him what I wanted. Then horror of horrors! All that labour was in vain, for he refused Canadian money! So QI went forth and mourned and would not be comforted. By this time most of the town was awake. The men seem to dress about twenty years out of date, but the women have a national costume. It consists of a black satin dress over which is worn a black shawl and a black apron. The shoes are ordinary black lea- ther. That much is very dull, but to offset it every Icelandic woman wears la 'little lace skull-cap with a highly decorative tassel of gold, and around her waist she wears a broad belt of gold. It is in several sections, each highly embossed and ornamented with fili- gree,-truly a masterpiece of the goldsmith's art. The women themselves are usually very beautiful and graceful. Their complexions are very fineg their hair which is nearly uni- versally bright blonde is dressed in four long braids, two tied at the base of the skull. Personally, I 'think it would look exceedingly beautiful and fascinating :if it were combed out instead of being tied up like tyres. After a little further search, I found a de- partment store that Jwould take my money, so I bought some souvenirs, and then made my way back to the dock where quite a large number of passengers had assembled, and were talking about rtheir numerous experi- ences of the morning. At ten o'clock the first boarding party left for the ship, and, being rather tired, I went along with it. At noon we steamed out of the bay. By four o'clock in the afternoon the last sandy peak had sunk like the setting sun below the sea. And thus ended the adventure-another and more romantic name for experience- experience which is the greatest of all tea- chers. For we may read, we may be told, we may be shown, but we do not know until we have experienced,-until we have had the adventure. HE DID Jack said he'd kiss me or die in the at- tempt. Gracious! And did you let him! Well, you haven't seen any funeral no- tices have you? ITS 71 'llIllllllHl'lllIl llllllllllll I w.

MANNING, IIIA The month of winds has passed away, And no one minds that showers now Come tapping down, for we'll be gay When merrily round, comes the month of May. The air is warm. The waking soil Begins to swarm and ants to toil. The hot sun beats upon the plain, We taste the joy of summer again. The waking flowers are here at last, The lush green grass is growing fast. The April showers have done their share And star-lined bowers beauty ensnare. v .f. v, v. 4- R- R Scott Day- I found my hat on the stove. I wonder on what ridiculous thing I'll find it next.

Customer- Then ask them to play bridge. Tramp- I have no trade but when I ind Work, I do itf' Judge- To judge by your hands you have not worked for a long time. They are just as well-kept as mine. I can't understand why I didn't accept the old dear the very Iirst time he proposed. That's easily understood, darling 3 you probably weren't born at the time! Worry is interest paid on trouble before it falls due. I If a woman arrives late, she always has a reason. If a man arrives late, he always has an argument. A clear conscience is a trump card in the game of life. Q U ' When a man breaks a date he generally has to. When a girl breaks a date she gen- erally has two. A man's best friends are his ten fingers. Lots of people are like flsh. They open their mouths but they never say anything.
