Sunday school and preaching Sunday morning. “The Lil Wife In Africa” (Editor’s Note: Because so many people have suggested we write some of our African experiences; and because so much is written of bis* game. ami so little of housekeeping near the Equator, the editor’s wife is writing, from the diary she kept, about “The Li’l Wife in Africa.”) After a few days in the main post, we were sent out into the field. “The field’’ meant various mines, located several miles apart, forming a 50 mile circle about the main post. The husband was to install machinery for new mines ,to open up new diamond diggings in the company's concession. The machinery had been ordered three years befor§ ,to be sent in from Europe, and he had returned here a, second term to. install it. After three years on the way, and on sand bars, enough of the machinery meant for five mines, had arrived, so that it might be possible to fit it together to make one new mine, at this frist place we had been sent. Packed on another flivver truck.l we left the main post, crossed some more river ferries, stopped to visit awhile with the whites in outlying posts ,and arrived at last at the new Concession. Where a white man had been sent out a few weeks before our arrival, to dircet native workmen in building a grass house for us to live in while the mine milling machinery was being installed. The area they’d cleared of its tall grass and sparse scattering of trees, -was perhaps 100 yards square. It was located a mile or so from the mine to be, which was on a creek. The house was supposedly removed from the area of mosquitos and tsetses. We didn’t get to see the actual construction of this grass house, but other such houses, to which we moved every three months, we built ourselves, so I learned in time how this one had come into being. Niggers had been sent out to cut down trees, and bring back long, thick logs over their shoulders. These were put in holes in the ground —the way telephone poles are treated m this country, but with less equipment. Then dirt was packed around the poles, which were set in lines which formed the skeleton of the houee. Smaller brauchea, and

vines were interwoven to join these poles together in a network frame of a house. A similar network formed the skeleton of the roof. Then niggers were sent to cut the tall green grass, tie it in bundles, and bripg it to the house. Other niggers tied these bundles to the network of the walls and roof, and, pretty soon, there was a haystack, with rooms in it, with hay walls, and a«roof of more hay. The bed room in this first was large enough to accomodate two camp beds. It was separated from a small room behind it to be used as a dressing room and the place the natives carried the green tin bath tub full of hot water for each evening’s clean up. This side of the house was separated from two similar rooms on the other side, by a space which left the center of the house open from front to rear. Here was pur living-din-ing room and veranda. The two small rooms on the other side we used to store trunks; books and food. Once we were installed, the husband went to the creek to clear ground for the new diamond inine, taking the natives with him with the exception of the houseboys. We had our meals, smoke-flavor-ed, cooked outdoors where wind continually blew the open fire. But two workmen were building a cookhouse out back. Instead of its network of branches being tied with grass .they formed a mud by mixing the red clay soil of.the country with water, and slapped this on the walls. Where it dried and fell off pretty regularly in chunk* But what do you expect of a built-in kitchen? By the time the beds were in the Haystack’s room, a table- such as would be used for a sewing table in this country was placed on the veranda, together with our folding canip chairs, and folding deck chairs. Even before these were in place, ants and crickets and things had moved into our new roof and were busily eating grass seeds and dropping crumbs ,to any spot beneath. Deciding this would inake~ awfully sprinkled meals, not to mention prick!) beds, dusty tooth brushes and my powder puff—l had the sentry rush to the native village and buy mails, woven by niggers to be used as their beds. ' These strips, ' (each mat about three feet long and r 8 inches wide, the sentry sewed together for me and climbed on the dining room table, to put these in as our ceiling. we were doing this the house boys were building a small house for (themselves, way bn the edge of our Clearing, near the sentry’s house, theirs was a round house, d fthe same material as ours. There we were, luxuriating-among the hayseeds, and thanking goodness we hadn’t any tendencies toward hayfever. It being so near the equator, the days lasted from about 6:00 o'clock a. m.’s to 6p. m. The rest of the time it was dark. We had an oil ■ lamp but Seldom had oil to fil'' lit. So we burned candles. The husband would get up at sunrise, go to the mine to get his men started to work, and have breakfast

UsWjmon Ruth <Slones WELL-FITTED BELT MAKES FOR COMFORT There is one rather intimate article in a woman’s wardrobe tri which she should follow no set style or fashion, but use her own judgment and taste entirely, and that is in the matter of selecting a sanitary belt Every woman should select the style that she finds gives her the most comfort, most freedom of movement. Doctors and nurses alike will tell you it is of great Importance that the belt worn at this time should not be binding or restricting in any way. Perfect rest at night as well as comfort during the day de l>ends on this. No one belt will afford this for every woman. Each must select the type 1 suitable for her particular figure. For this reason there is a Hickory sanitary belt to suit every type, each with its taped-on safety pins which cannot be mislaid. There is the all elastic belt, the belt with the deep or narrow shield and elastic Inserts, and the mesh belt. Then, too, there Is the dainty little i*etite belt, a scant half-inch circlet of-silk elastic for the M I i !I / \. debutante, and which wins favor be cause It comes in a minute Dresden silk bag al) Its own, ready to be dropped in the handbag for use in an emergency.- This belt should be worn low -on the hips and fairly snug.

Select whatever style belt affords the .most comfort but own at least two, as daintiness suggests a change during the week’s wear, to say nothing of having an extra one on hand for emergency. carried to him there, by the house boys. - -His noon meal was also taken to him at the mine. The stove in the cook house consisted of a mud wall built inside the cook house, about table height. Sections of this had been hollowed out to make fireplaces. In these, Wood was put to burn. Anything boiled or fried was placed on top of these burners. Anything to be baked, was baked after the fire in one of these burners had heated its mud container for quite a. while. Then the Burning coals were removed and the loaf of, sour dough bread, say, was put in the place formerly occupied by the

fire. If the heat disappeared before the bread lost its doughy state, the loaf woqld be removed and more fire put in, to be removed again. Meals meant* to be served at the mine were first cooked at home, with all these conveniences, and re-heat-ed near the engine of the big boiler at the mine. —_—» o- — See the new oak breakfast sets in Beckman’s window. —adv.
