I\ST.ALLMENT VII.
The Unexpected Happens.

~ HE young man who wanted to
marry Celia was Kirilenko, q
Russian sculptor, and friend
of Hilary. Laura thought him
delightful though his work,
She confessed, was quite beyond her.
Why does he make all his peoples
heads like eggs, and their legs and
arms pulled out to immense lengths,
like yards of sugar candy she had
asked Hilary, in her first bewiider-
ment, on visiting kirilenko's studio.
Hilary had replied frivolously: Ask
me another,
He. too. liked Kirilenko. and he,
too, didn't understand his work.
But there must he a reason"
Laura had persisted. Look at that
statue. for instance, with a hollow for
Il stomach and two holes for breasts.
What does he mean by it,
Why don't YOU ask him. said
Hilary.
Laura had asked him. and he had
replied. that the human breasts and
stomach were too obvious, and that by
suppressing them he had meant to
distract the observers attention from
these details"
When Laura had reported this in
an amazed whisper TO Hilary, he had
replied gravely:
We'll, he hasn't succeeded in dis
tracing my attention. Has he
yours?"
MOI" Laura had whispered back We
hemently. But he's succeeded in dis
tracing me-
Then Hilary had taken her away,
because he saw that she was about to
break into a fit of nervous giegling.
kirilenko himself was quite differ
ent from his works. In fact. he looked
as Laura said. perfectly normal; had a
sensitive, accurately modelled face,
and Il handsome nose, in no way rem
iniscent of the wedge shaped blocks
that did duty as noses in his sculpture.
His character was extremely re
served, and as a consequence he was
very shy. He had come to Laura, in
stead of going to Hilary, because his
shyness as we'll as his foreign train
ing made him prefer to speak with
one of them, rather than direct to
Celia: and he had chosen Laura be
cause he felt somehow as if she would
be more sympathetic than her brother.
Laura was sympathetic: she was
more she was almost en-
1husisastic. If she had let herself
go she would have been entirely en-
thuSiaStic. Had not St. Anne sent
him? Was he not, in some sort, a
messenger direct from heaven?
Her dismay can he magined when
after speaking with kirilenko, she
went to Celia-almost ran up the
stairs to her room, and arrived pant
inG with excitement and physical ex-
ertion-only to see the girls face grow
paler and paler as she told her delight
full news: paused, to hear Celia's low
est voice saying:
Il am sorry. Please tell him I am
sorry, Mrs. Eversham, but l don't
want to marry any one. And please
don't be angry with me-"
My dear child. why don't you want
to marry him? What more do you
want? He is distinguished, charm

If he gave Celia an establishment of

of S250,000 were established.
Commercial activity has been in
creased, particularly in the building
industry which is a new industry.
This was due almost entirely to Jew
ish capital and the entry of an i'm
migrant class with money. Thirty
three thousand eight hundred and one
Jewish immigrants entered the coun-
try during the year, number nearly
three times as great as the number
which entered during 1924. While
this immigration unquestionably con-
fers benefits on the country, It intro
duced new problems. The ready abb
sorption into the economic life of a
small and unproductive country, Of
men and women of various types and
capacities is a diffftult matter, which
required all the energy and resources
of the Zionist Organization to deal
with satisfactorily. Many immi-
grants are desirous of becoming
farmers, but agricultural settlement
is a slow and costly process. AL
though Jewish agencies and individ-
uals have acquired, during the year
1924, 1896 dunams of land, the
government has been unable to put
state and waste lands at the disposal
Of new settlements and consequently
large proportion of immigrants
gravitate to the towns. Most of the
new industries find development re-
tarded by the high cost of living and
costly production. The government
has granted custom facilities on raw
materials and is assisting the devel-
opment of the export trade, utilizing
local products. In connection with the
industrial developments, labor ques-
tions are becoming important. The
Jewish workmen are well organized
and are demanding conditions SIM
liar to those in modern states, the
report declares.

The complexion of the audience was
revealed when the demands that the
Ku Kluy Klan, whose proposed parade
in September Mayor Kendrick can
celled should parade anyway, with or
without permit, was loudly cheered.
At the same time the directors of the
SesQui-C Centennial have remained firm
in their decision on the subject of open
Sunday and Klan parade. While the
meeting in South Philadelphia was TAX
ing place, the directors issued an an
nouncement that the Exposition will he
wide open on Sunday in spite of pro.
tests.

Year of Peace
The past year in Palestine has
been one Of tranquility, of admins
trative consolidation and increased
prosperity. Public security has been
maintained, despite the disturbed con-
ditions on the northern frontier and
the entry of thousands Of refugees
from Syria. Public health conditions
were good throughout the year. The
Anti-Malarial Commission of the
League of Nations, which visited
Palestine during the year, was favor
ably impressed, the report states.
Because of the problem of public
security and the preoccupation of the
government due to the Syrian events,
the political organization of the coun.
try did not advance. The legislative
council cannot be revived as long as
the Arab leaders are maintaining an
opposition to the fundamental prin-
ciple of the Palestine mandate. The
communities ordinance will open an
avenue for discharging many cultural
functions of the local government and
enable the Moslems, Christians and
Jews to conduct separately their own
communal affairs, leaving to the mu-
inequalities those enterprises where
Arabs and Jews can profitably COM
bine on the basis of common inter
ests. On the extension of this prin-
ciple politically and economically, the
realization of the peaceful, prosper
GUS Palestinian state depends, the re-
port declares.
The improved finances of the coun-
try, as consequence of greater
prosperity of the inhabitants, was
shown by the increased receipts of
the revenue department. The surplus
of the year totalled $1,069,576 which
were used to finance works of a cap
ital nature in anticipation of the
raising of the Palestine government
loan, the report continues.
