I Fresh Fragrance of Blossoms "SALADA GREEK TEA "Fresh from the Gardens" The Meaning of Culture Not many yearn ago I happened to aotlce the review of one of my books In some weekly periodical. The writer sneered at me for travelling round Europe with a portmanteau full of cul- ture on my back. This made me re- flect. What does the reviewer mean by cu'i* ire? What Is It 1 am supposed to staj. ,-r under like a pedler's pack? And then, what do I mean by culture? How do I value the wares I carry on my shoulders? Reflection convinced me that the reviewer and myself held different opinions about what we Doth call culture. It is probable that when people use thli word, nowadays, It signifies for them some knowledge of history and literature. Intelligence refined by con- siderable reading, and a susceptibility to tbe beauties of art and nature. H .t words which have heen overworked. or which have passed Into the jargon of cliques, are apt to acquire a second- ary and degraded meaning with the general public. And this has been tbe ease with culture. All the good things It Implies In common parlance are un- derstood to be alloyed with pedan- try, affectation, aesthotlcal prigglah- ness. It Is believed that the cultured per- son, like the dilettante of a previous century, will rave about the Correg- gloslty of Corregglo, the symbolic depth of Botticelli, the preclousness of Ruskln's insight Into Tintoretto. Or, If he hoes not take that line, he may bo expected to possess a multifarious store of knowledge about all periods of all the arts and literatures, and to b perpetually parading this know- ledge in arid out of season. The last sort of stuff IB, probably, what my reviewer accused me of bawklng ovf-r Kiirope. nut this, I am certain, Is not what I mean when -I talk of culture. Judged by the etymology of the word, culture is not a natural gift. It implies tillage of the soil, artificial im- provement of qualities supplied by na- ture. It Is clearly, then, something acquired, as the lovelinesses of the garden rose are developed from the briar, or the "savage-tasted drupe'' be- comes "the suave plum" by cultivation. In the full width of its meaning, when applied to human beings, culture Is tbe raising of faculties physical, mental. emotional, and moral to their highest excellence by training. In a particular sense, and in order to distinguish cul- ture from education, it implies that this tralulng has been consciously car- ried on by the Individual. Education educes or draws forth faculties. Cul- ture Improves, refines, and enlarges them, when they have been brought out. Finally, although moral and phy- sical qualities are susceptible of both education and culture, yet It Is com- monly understood, when we use these terms, that we are thinking of the In- tellectual faculties. This If specially the case with culture. I will therefore define culture, for tbe purpose of this discussion, as tbe raising of previously educated Intel- lectual faculties to their highest pot- ency by the conscious effort of their possessor!. In its most generalized significance, culture nipy be identified v.lth self-cf- fectuatlon. Men of true culture, as dis- tinguished from that false thing which usurps the name, may posses diverse intellectual temperaments, and reach widely separated points of vantage. Rut they agree In this", that each has acquired freedom from bondage to cliques and schools. From "In the Key of Blue and Other Prose K- lay*." by John AddiiiKtun Syinoml".

Whittle scarcely cared to contem- plate the immediate future. Hogap. was quite capable of cutting Stevens- son's heart out of his body if the man refused to speak. And that Stevens- son held the secret was a certainty. "Do 'e mind if I say somethin', sir?'' It was the Mandiing police con- stable again. "Ye may laugh at w'ot's in me mind, sir," he went on, "but this 'ere affair is very rummy no doubt about that. It reminds me o" one <>' those stories you read about in the papers you know, them there serials. Now, I shouldn't be a bit surprised if there weren't somethin' in this 'ere fireplace that acted as a secret " He broke off. His burolic mind registered some- thing. The man he had been address- ing was craning forward, his eyes fixed on Stevensson's face. Both had betrayed themselves, but Whittle was the first to recover. Ho- gan, who had burst into a laugh at what he considered the village ton- stable's as.<ininity, was surprised 'o hear Whittle remark encouragingly to Johnson: "What was that you were going to say?" P.C. George Johnson drew a deep breath. "Wo't I were goin' to say," he re- peated, "was that I shouldn't be at all surprised if there were not some- thin' in this 'ere fireplace connectin' up with the cellars. A couple o' years ago, when I were at Folkestone, I saw a play called 'The "Ouse of 'Orror,' an' there were a contraption in the fireplace which were kind o" secr.-t like.

But, all the time, his eyes were tixfd on Simon Stevens- goii' face. It was a duel of psychology, of nerve-control, and facial impassivity. Hut he won. lie turned swiftly ajrain; IK had read in Stevcnsson's features' hat he wanted to read.

H was H party of three that sal down to another of Mrs. Hamble's ap- petising meals an hour later. Margery Ferguson was the guest of honor. On her right sat Philip Crane and on h,'. left Charles Whittle. It had been necessary to break i'i news of her father's death, but, a Crano bad anticipated, after the fl> shock, the information had given he roliof. After all, she was young, av. therefore resilient, and, instead of a father who had brought her nothing but grief, H)W had now found a frieml who promised . . . But her though 1 could not go beyond the present. It was not until the meal was ov." that Whittle started on what he call H! "a tour of explanation." "I know what you're dying to ask," he caid to Crane; "you want to know what happened to me in this Inn last night. I was awakened by a funny- sort of noise. I opened the door, jut no sooner had I put my head through than I got a whang on the back of the bean; and although I did my best lv> c:.tch the fellow round the legs, it was no good. When I came to I went to your room. Then I guessed what had happened. They had recognized you from the description which Stcvensson must have given them. And perhaps the fellow who hit me thought he had finished me off. The mistake Stevens- son made was not to send enough ni'.-n for the job; they could cart one away, but not two. "When I realized they'd got you, I nearly went mad," hj continued, "the only thing that saved me, I think, was picking up on the floor of your room the torn part of what must have been a letter. It was only a few inches, but it gave me a clue. "I got away to the station as quick- ly as I could and caught the first train to London All the time the address o\ that bit of paper was burning itself into my brain. Directly I got to Char- ing Cross I got a Post Office directory and found what do you think?" "How should I know?" smiled Crane. "Why," declared Whittle, triumph- antly; "that piece of paper which had evidently dropped from the pocket of one of the gang, was nothing less than the address of a Mrs. Aubyn St. Clalr. I thought it futiny that a woman liv- ing in Curzon Street, May-fair, should be mixed up with crooks, and the least I could do, seemed to me, was to pay this good lady a call. "When I saw the woman I knew that I'd landed right. Thin Mrs. Aubyn St. Clair was a crook I'd come across some- time back, and 1 decided that she must be none other than the chief of the gang." "The Kmpress'.'' 1 "Yes, kid! The Empress." "I gave her to understand that 1 knew her little goings-on, and told her that if she didn't ring up 'The White House' iind order you rt-lensed I should visit a particular kind of hell upon her lovely but corrupt self. She pretend- ed to be indifferent; but it's worked out all right, hasn't it?" It was Margery Ferguson who ra- plied. Her lips were trembling as she said: "I, for erne, will never be able to thank you, Mr. Whittle." "It won't be me you'll have to thank, young lady, I'm thinking," replied the American detective with a broad grin. "Ahem! 1 think I'll go for n little stroll. It seems a fine night. 1 ' With that the two were left alone. "I suppose," started Crane, " I ought to be very cross with you." "Why?" she asked. "Well, didn't you deliberately dis- obey my orders? Why did you leavo the convent?" "I realized suddenly," she repliod, "that I had been selfish- that, in en- deavoring to study my own wishes, I hnd allowed you to go into danger. After that, of course, I couldn't stay in Lot.don I knew you would keep your promise and so I came to Mand- iing in the hope that I could see you before anything very terrible hap- pened."
