 That's like Barbara. We nearly missed this ship because at the last moment she discovered that the taxi driver, a terrible looking fellow, was a Russian bolshevik with origi- nal views on most everything
 The Englishman smiled but it was a wintry effort. He did not approve of women who made them selves so notable in public, and he was beginning to realize that an American wife, even with Bar bara's wealth, might have certain disadvantages.
 Still, he reflected, 1t should be easy to check her impulsiveness af- ter the ceremony. A wife, with sev- eral million dollars in her own right and no parents to handicap her in spending it, was not to be lost for a trifle. But he could not resist saying:
 Surely, Mrs. Trenton-Jones, you might suggest to Miss Landon that it hardly seems correct, even to you Americans, tn at she should be standing for so long conversing with one of the ships employees. !"
 But at that the older woman laughed outright.
 "Our girls don't think so much of social distinction as you do, and I'm sure that if what you've been saying were even intimated to Bar bara, her only reaction would be to have a violent love affair with one of the stokers. That's Bar bara."
 Ralph Henderson was silent as he lit a cigarette.

that she had been asked about YER

NEW BANANA LANDS.
Producers Looking Forward to Lo-
cations.

With the exhaustion of the banana
lands in some of the older regions ana
with the destruction of plantations
by the Panama blight, the producing
companies are having to look forward
for new locations Brazil says United
States Commercial Reports, offers un-
limited areas of good soil, both in the
northern Amazona districts and in the
south, the states of Rio de Jeneiro, Sac
Paulo and Panama having excellent soil
along the coast, very little of which has
yet been used for that fruit.
While bananas for home consump-
ton are produced all over Brazil to
the frost line, the Santos district is
the only one thus far producing sub
stantial quantity for export. The
production in Brazil is still relatively
insignificant in comparison with that
in Honduras. Jamaica, Colombia and
Costa Rica, but the exports compare
favorably with those from other coun-
tries. During the last three years more
attention has been given to the. possi-
bility of developing the growing Of
bananas in the state of Sac Paulo.
