The natty short coat of blue serge

from the shoulders to the chest and
from the bust, running at the waist

This trimming scheme is repeated
across the hips on the jackets back

black satin collar, turned high about

Mrs. Sheldon was worshipped through
the interior of Africa as a goddess, and
she is still regarded as the greatest
white fetch who ever appeared in that
country. She spoke the different dia-
lects Of the black people, md she be-
came we'll acquainted with the women
of different tribes. The fact that
many of them were cannibal tribes, and
that other solitary white travellers had
never returned from the country did
not deter this determined little woman.

The war is proving to us that we can
no longer take sanctimonious atti-
tude toward the 'barbarous' tribes OF
Africa. They can commit no atrocities
worse than those the men Of our own
race are committing every day."
Mrs. Sheldon started OF on her
travels with no fixed point of view. She
had no theories to prove. and no ideas
for their betterment. Thus it was that

she gained the confidence of the people
and was able to obtain from them in
formation and objects concealed from
other white travellers. Her descent to
Lake Chala and her visit TO Kilims-
Marc was the dangerous and difficult
part of her journey. She returned
with many valuable anthropological
studies, and was the first woman to be
made fellow Of the Royal Geogrsphi-
cal Society of England.
At present Mrs. Sheldon is intensely
interested in the woman movement. In
spe at the Suffrage Shop she told
her audience, "The hour Of woman has
struck. There was never such phe-
nomenal opportunity offered to women
as this war has given US. We must
take advantage Of this opportunity and
prepare for the great work that women
will have to do after the war. we
must make ready for our new life IN

must prepare for the matriarchate.
