A Line of Talk.

Two telephone girls were talking over
the wire one afternoon. The subject of
the conversation was lawn party,
which was to take place the next day.
Both were discussing what they should
wear, and after five minutes had come
to no decision.
In the midst of this important CONVEX
sation masculine voice interrupted,
asking humbly what number he had. The
lack of any reply did not squelch the
inquirer, for he asked again for the num-
Der.
One of the girls became indignant, and
scornfully asked:
what line do you think you are on,
anyhow"
"Well." said the man. Il am not sure.

WOMANS TRAVELS IN PERSIA.
Ten Days Ride at Hard Gallop on Gun
Carriage

In times of peril in Persia the medical
missions have proved to be the safest
places not only for Europeans but also
for the Persians themselves. DR.. Emme-
line Stuart, niece of the veteran Bishop
Stuart, had a remarkable story to tell Of
her own experiences when preparing to
leave the country.
The only escort available through the
disturbed country from lspahan to Te-
heran was offered to her by the military
authorities, and she accepted it, to find
that it entaled travelling on gun car
riage harnessed six in hand and that for
ten days double stages were effected at
a hard gallop, while the shelter of the
carriage formed her canopy at night.
DIR. Stuart testified to the unfailing
courtesy and kindness of the officers to
the traveller placed in their charge and
treasured the committee as TO the abso-
lutte safety of the missionaries during
this period of unrest by saying that the
mission compound at Ispahan was one
of the safest places in the city. In fact
members of the families of officers of the
Shah have in the last few months re-
sorted 10 it as an asylum. Mall
