“That was quite a storm we had last night. Or perhaps you didn't know of it?” a visitor, as it happened a stranger to this farmwife.‘ offered this morning when at the door heinquired as 9 the whereabouts of the men.

“Oh yes’ we replied, “w e heard most of it."

And there a little brook sings a happy young tune as‘ it winds between banks everlasting- liy green and lush, in fields where meadow ~ flowers bloom.

“Waken, Ellen” he said softly “Don't you hear the stonm? There! the lightning. And the thunder didn't waken you? How soundly you sleep! I saw the first flash. . . I'm not fond of thun-

“Who is he?" we queried after the door closed on the stranger.

"I don't know” Granddai ;hter said. “Perhaps” she added with a young giggle “ ‘it’s the man who sells insurance! ‘I read of one yesterday, I thlnlk it was, who tried to sell a policy at a farm —— to the woman, it was.’ Now. I'm not trying to run your affairs or advising you what to do’ he said, ‘but reason it out for yourself. If your husband bought insurance it would offer you security in the event that he died.

“Got your fishing gear readiy,” Gage visiting today asked Mack.

“Uh, huh” Mack nodded, “all ready but to dig the bait."

“Who'll catch the first one, I wonder?” Gage dim-pied.

“Can't ‘retia¢h' for a cell yet, Ellen” James smiled, coming in now from a tour of the stables. “By the signs, the young lad and I have an appointment to keep shortly. Get me a bite to eat, will you?” And make haste, El-len, or I'm afraid I won't be there in time."

“llsual Occupa- tions of Unusual Women” from

several of i.he.memlbers of the Charlottetown Business and Pro fessional Women's Club waswery much enjoyed Monday evening a the dinner meeting held at the Charlottetown Holcl. Apropos of this “Women of India" in the March Caravan of India maga- zine makes for good reading. The article is as follows

“The greatest revolution in a country is one that affects the status and living conditions of its women." says Prime Minister Ja- waharlal Nehru in the course of a toreward to the book entitled “Woman of Indian.‘ which has been published by the Publica- tions Division of the Ministry Information and Broadcasting. The book has bccn brought out under the auspices of the Nation- al Council of Women in India.

Mr. Nehru observes This book had to be written. It may be a forerunner of other and fuller treatments of this subject. But even as it is, it gives us a. broad survey 'which, I think, i.s of great. importance. . . .

For my part. I am partial to women of India and the more I have wandered about. this great country the more I have felt a certain pride in our womenfolk. Women in India have played an important part in our social life and in our history. They have played this part in every bram-h of national activity. from high learning to valour on the battle- field. But it is their unobtrusive work in the household. in the vil- lage or in larger community that has moulded nations.-

They are essentially feminine and that is as it should be. But then I have always felt that In- dia, for all her manly qualities, is especially noted for feminine virtues — gentleness, tenderness, certain patient resignation and quiet and sometimes amazing [courage of a somewhat passive Ekmd. I say this, realizing that I am generalising when I should not do so because there are all.- kmds of men as well as all kinds .of women in this country. But I suppose it is true that the idea ofwctmen in India is chiefly con- nected with these feminine vir- tues as well as. perhaps. with some feminine failings.

Thousands of years have mould- ed and conditioned our race. To- «fiay we pass rapidly through v,-5,!-- inus phases of transition. That is inevitable and not to be regret- ted. But I doubt If all these com- ing changes. hig as they are, will

It was GaIndl1i.ii- that “’°“‘_le1" ful man and ‘a great. revolution- ary, who brought a dramatic ohange among our‘womcn when at his bidding they came out in large numbers from the shelter of their homes to take their part in the struggle for India‘s free- dom. Onge the old shackles were removed,‘ it was no longer possi- ble to replace them in the same way. Asttempls were no doubt made to go back but they were bound to fail.

Now the full impact of modern life is being felt by our women- Ifolk in cities chiefly, and in our schools and colleges. I do not know what the final outcome will be, except that it will be differ- ent; from the past. though per- haps not so different as to at- fect the essential characteristics of»India’s women. This book shows how women are playing their part in the multitude‘ of activities and doing well. There is no doubt in my mind about their capacity, a-nd now~that opportunities are coming their ‘way. an increasing number of them will make good.
