the first time she has had opportunity
to do any sight seeing. l had a few
minutes chat with her last night just
after her return from Pasadena and
visit to the ostrich farm. Il had seen
ostriches before, lots of them, in South
Africa, but | really hoped that this
time / might have a picture taken upon
one They looked too fierce and Wrig-
gly, however, so | decided not to try,
said she, and then laughingly related
one experience in South Africa when
she had seen a whole carload of the big
birds ready for shipment. The sides
of the car shut off the view Of their
bodies and nothing but those long legs
and quaint, humerOus-looking heads
were to be seen, land them the
speaker continued, "cvery time the car
moved or anything disturbed them,
they would wink that queer sideways
wink at us, Just as though they were
enjoying the experience tremendously
Speaking of Africa reminded me that
Mr.. and Mrs. ID. G. McCan were taking
their trip around the world; they met
the Count Anton Sigray who is soon
to marry Miss Harriet DAILY. They
Travelled in the same steamship from
Bombay to Port said, and the young
man spent much of his time in their
society," He was eager to learn OF the
doings of American men of affairs ana
constantly regretted his position, which
forbade any such ambitions as those
which animate young men Of TINS
hemisphere. Mrs. MCCan described his
appearance as that Of Il quiet, we'll
bred Young man, reserved and decld-
| edly averse to the attentions Whlch
many of the passengers on the snip
forced upon him. He showed no m
| clinatiOn toward those eNcesseS Oh
drink or gaming which many men ma
| |, Ia xtrI,a on a long NOyd2G, ana
appeared to be the sort of man any
| girl. American or otherwise, might be
proud to mardy. and not all the base
man-of-the- world type with which
many titled foreigners have made US
familiar.
