There, is one characteristic of Viscountess Jellicoe that will be lost to the people of the Dominion on her departure, and that is a pronounced gift of optimism (says an exchange). Her happy faculty of accommodating herself to immediate environment and atmosphere has won her champions in every social sphere.

A beautiful Sunday afternoon induced her Excellency to ride further south in the bush. Eventually a lonely roadman's hut was reached. Its occupier readily recognised his guest, and boiled the billy. Later in the day Lady Jellicoe returned and coaxingly inquired if she might boil the billy, explaining the while that it would be late when tea time at the iiotel arrived. “Yep!” grunted her Excellency’s host, “and you’ll be lucky if you get it then, missus!” This crude observance all but convulsed Lhdy Jellicoe, who, by way of appreciating the hospitality extended, advised her host to interest himself in her horse, which was racing at Trentham the following week. He did—with interest. A junior two-year-old heifer. “Fair Maid qf Greenbank,” under Government semi-official test, and owned by Mr. W. Moore, Ayrshire breeder, Homebnsh.

For the month of Aupust this champion heifer produced 55.131bs of butter-fat.
