WHAT can woman do? We believe
this question has already been asked
several times, and been answered quite
as often. The present respones involves
a romantic story of the second wife of
Lord Ellenborough. the prominent En-
glish politician, whose death has just
been announced by cable. This lady
who was the only daughter of Admiral
Sir Henry Digby, was married in 1924
to Lord Peterborough, and, having been
divorced from him in 1928, wcs married
to Baron Venningen of Bavaria in 1892.
Subsequently she disappeared, sna sfter
many years it was discovered shat she
had become the wife of the .hfef a tribe
of Bedoaiu Arabs, and. being woman
of great ability, was treated with high
con-idera,icn by the wild rovers of the
desert. According to the last accounts
che commanded large band of Arabs.

countrymen through dangerous part of
the Nubian desert, which was infested
with rowing gangs of hostile natives
She is described as being fully equipped
in the dress Of an Arab chief, and as
armed with gun and spear.

Their religious hopes are turned to Je-

are very indistinct.
They are wholly unacquainted with

They have a religious literature written
in the style of Midrath, They keep the
Sundays rigidly; fast on Mondays and

they wash before and say grace after
