East and West could have made
stx hearts with the greatest of ease,
but were helpless to bid any more
when South properly sacrificed at
six spades. A penalty double was
all that was left to them.
West opened the king of clubs
and stopped short when South's
Jack appeared. After little
thought, he shifted to his singleton
diamond.
South won and led the ten of
spades, hoping that West would
make the mistake of holding up his
trump ace. But the attempt was
futile, for West put up the spade
ace at once and then led a low
heart.
East won with the queen of hearts
and had no trouble in understanding
the meaning of his partners plays.
The diamond shift and the under
lead of the heart ace made it clear
that West had started with single
ton diamond. So East returned his
diamond for West to ruff, and the
defense thus netted 500 points. Not
as much as the slam, of course, but
the best they could get against such
determined opposition.

 Only, no one would have ap- proved such Q trip, unless she and Sandy were married at the City Hall or the Little Church Around the Corner before the westward trek began. And that night she had not been sure. Why had she hesitated2 Why had she waved so gaily when Sandy went away? Sine knew now what she wanted, It wouldn't be many more hours until she could tell the daring young aviator she would like a permanent seat in his plane.
 
 Relieved, she fell asleep and did not waken until the liner taXled down the field to a halt, There was a moments delay as 1t prepared to release Its pas sengers. She gathered her pocket book, bag, and the extra coat and hurried down the steps,
 A messenger boy was calling her name, So Phil had caught her signal and relayed her mes- sage. She handed the boy a quar- ter and hurried to the corner Of long coffee counter. Her fingers trembled as she tore the en- velope's flap,
 She read

 Suddenly the other passengers seated at the counter became aware that the girl in the purple suit had gold candles in her violet eyes, that her hair was like fire- light, her eyebrows and her gay red mouth flew upward, She moved as though she belonged to wings and high winds. All this because she had read 0 message on a telegraph blank.
 There was such brief space from grief to Paradise, such . brief space from worlds end to worlds beginning. Sandy hao said, T love you" sped the three words on shining wings so she could smile again and now all skies were bright and every outgoing liner a magic carpet primed for heaven.

Beauty of Guatemala Draws. .Mony Tourists

GUATEMALA, which borders " Mexico on the south, is one of the most picturesque of the Latin American countries. There are Indian villages, ancient churches, relics of the conquistadores, road side shrines and Mayan ruins, It is one of the most popular tour- ist spots In the western hemi- sphere.
 The country is not large, as the 1886 map stamp above clearly in- dicates. It has an area of 45,452 square miles. The country is bor- dered by British Honduras, Hon. duras, Salvador and the Pacific ocean besides Mexico.
 Sixty per cent of the popula- ton is Indian, less than 5 per cent of pure Spanish blood, the re- mainder of mixed ancestry. This mixture of Indian and Spanish affords an unequaled study in the customs and costumes of the peo- pie.
 Agriculture is the most impor- tant industry, especially coffee which accounts for 70 per cent of the exports. Between 30 and 10 per cent of the plantations are owned by Germans and before the war Germany was second only to the United States as a customer.

map of the British Isles. Therein
lie clues to the character of the
British people. and their character
has been an important factor in de-
veloping their colonies.
Because the climate of the British
Isles is cold enough to be invig-
Grating, the people grew into a
hardy race that could stand physical
diScomtorts. Because they were liV-
ing on an island. they acquired an
independent outlook, and because
their homes are close to the sea
and their forests provided timber
for ships, they became good sailors
As a result. the British have done
more exploring than any other ma
ton. Cabot, FrobiSher, Drake. Haw-
kins, Gilbert, Raleigh-those are but
a few OF the early BritonS who won
fame and sometimes fortunes on
strange shores.
The explorers found new lands
and claimed them for their sover-
eign. but it took equally brave men
mentS One key TO the success
of British colonies was the fact
that whole families We're willing
TO leave comfortable homes and
start new lives on the plains of
Canada and Australia or to with
stand hardship of desert or jungle.
Women and children faced unknown
dangers along with the men; their
presence usually insured perma-
nent foundation.

Not all of Britain's colonization
has been peaceful. French inf1u-
ence in Canada and India was
overthrown by force; the Boer War
was fought III South Africa before
British domination became COM
plete. And in the American ReVo-
luton. colonistS of English, Scot
tish and Irish blood fought the
mother country for their independ-
ence.
The divisions of the British Com
monWealth-Canada, South Africa,
India and Australia, and New Zea-
land-are a great distance from the
British Isles. Carrying supplies to
the early settlers meant long sea
Journeys: intermediate ports for re-
fueling the ships were Necessary.
Most of tbs refuling stations,
whether on mainland or islands,
were brought under the British
flag. More colonies were added
when telegraph stations were set
up along the routes of transoceanic
cables.
Trade always has been big fac
tor in the development Of British
territory. AS far back as 1900 the
East India Co. a private business
venture. was chartered TO bring
spices from the Orient. The grow
ing population of the British Isles
has required the importation of
more and more food every year. and
the dominlons and colonies proved
logical sources.
