Lady Ampthill, chairman of the board of directors. gave a luncheon yesterday to the promoters of the club, and other V.A.D. leaders also had parties, the guests numbering in all over'a hundred.

Collins. One feature of the club will be its comparative freedom from lectures. The only lectures to fee given there will be some on first aid, hygiene, and sanitation to be organized by Lady Ampthill.

The secretary of the club Is Mrs. Howe, formerly commandant of a V.A.D. hospital, and the quarter master is Miss Waller, who acted in a similar capacity at tho Hotel des Anglais, Le Touquct, during the war.

BOOKS OF THE WEEK. MR.

WELLS'S UNIVERSAL HISTORY. When Boscuet wrote hi3 Dlccours rar rilirtoiro Uhivcreelle," ho started with two great advantages. Firct, it was. of' a compact little world with a brief historv that ho had to tell the fall of Troy in 1184 b.c took place only 1,164 years oitor the Flood, while from the Flood to Adam, bom in tho first year of the world's xisten.ee, no mow than 1,656 years, need bo counted and cecondly, ho knew with scholastic procuaon tho purpose of the Creator in making man. Mr.

Wcllo, in writing his Outline of Hktory," of which tho first volumo now appears in book form (Nownes, 45s. not.) could hope to chare neither of these advantagea. For liim tho spinning globe 01 our habitation, vast oa it coems to mere Epeck of matter in tho greater vnstness of cpaco," iu anything from 80 to. 800 million years; old the first men and their progenitors inovo obscurely across a ctaee sat bo mo half million yoaro before our era; and Bossuot's noat scheme of six liistorical empires will no longer clear up tho tangle of civilizations. Nor 13 it as easy for Mr.

Wolls as it waa for Monseignpur do Meaux to roach such a view of tho meaning and purpose of history as will guide him in choosing and shaping his material. iot ho his interpretation of tho drama us, looking at the matter from a standpoint purely historical, the common problem can now be presented in a form that, for the purposes of history. covers win tne Hebrew and ureek way ol putting it. We have seen mankind rising out of the unconscious ness 01 animals to a continuing racial self-consciousness, realizing the unhapplness of its wild diversity of aims, realizing the Incvitabio tragedy of individual Bcn eeniQjj, ana leciing tneir way blindly towards some linking and subordinating idea to save them irom me pains and accidents ol mere Individuality. Now, on in the days when ho wao writing Mankind in tho Making" and his other sociological fantasies, it is with the fate of humanity at large, and not that of individuals and races, that Mr.

Wella is pre occupied. Ho roads history with the oyes of tho scientist, as tho battle of the species with its environ mcnt, in which organization and knowledge give tho It is tho generalities (and abovo all the guesses) of ccionco, not tho particularities of historic fact, that really fire Mr. Wollo'u imagination. With tho camo vividness and majesty of diction as he described tho death agony of tho earth in "The Timo Machine," he hero describes its birth throes, whon life began whoro tho tides of those swift days spread and receded over the steaming beaches 01 mud nnd sand The atmosphere was much denser then, usually freat cloud masses obscured the sun, froquent storms arkened1 the heavens. The.

land of those days, up heaved by violent volcanic forces, was a barren land; without vegetation, without soil. The almost incessant rainstorms swept down upon it, and rivers and torrents carried great loads of sediment out to sea, to become muds that hardened later into slates and shales, and sands that became sandstones. Similarly it is with a pleasure fitting in the creator of tho giant wasps of "Tho Food of the Gods," that ho greets "tho first insects," among which wore numerous dragon flics ono found in the Belgian coal measures had a wing span of twenty nino inches I and shows us ogroish an the. Morlocks, tho Neanderthal men in a ring round their cavern firos. It while considering thoco oerio ancestors of ours that Mr.

Wells gives vent to a reflection that coems to haunt him throughout his history This sort of men may have wandered, squatted about their fires, and died in Europe for a period extending over 100,000 years a period so vast that, all the subsequent history of our race becomes a thing of yesterday. There would bo no harm in dwelling on this thought if Mr. Wells did not show signs of feeling that there is something neces eacily about short period) and small countries. He dwells maliciously on tho" pettiness "of the Jewish Kingdom, on Solomon's subjection to King Hiram of Tyre (wucn renuQai aim oi me relations oi somo Central Africa chief to a European trading tiid on the trifling dimensions of the Temple, wluch hoi the breadth of a small villa residenco." In tho same spirit he emphasizes in ovcry possible way the point that: Upon a one foot globe Greece becomes a speck almost too small to recognize, and In a short history of mankind, all this century and more of dissension between the days of Salamls and Plato and the rise of King Philip shrinks to a little, almost inaudible clash of disputation, to a mere note upon tho swift passing of opportunity for nations as for men. SCIENCE AND THE WORLD STATE.

Tho scientist; looks for quantitative results, and Mr. Wells seeks a republican world state and a world wide scheme of economic righteousness." What fascinates and oxasper at03 him about Alexander and Cesar is tliat they might havo founded this world state, and failed to do so. At Athens, he complains, themodern man of science would nave, had to rig up the simplest apparatus under every disadvantage, while Socrates pointed out the absurdity of seeking truth with pieces of wood and string and metal such as small boys use for fishing. Tho library of Alexandria, with its absurd and cumbrous papyrus rolls, lacked "the ordinary library facilities of an English home."

Aldbourno Chase, which ran in an elevated hollow from Liddington to Aldbourne. long since disafforested, is reputed to have been a favourite hunting ground of King John re, port also says that it was well loved by old John of, Gaunt, who used to visit at Upper TJpham. But it is not these memories that form tho chief attraction, of this delightful corner of tho lltshire Downs nor even Aubrey's assertion that there were not such conies in all England as those that abounded hero. Kabbits are still plentiful enouch on these smooth chalk lands but the district does not depend on kincs or conies for its charm. Aldbourne, lying peacefully cradled in a fold of the hills, can recall other things besides these she can boast, for instance, that her name was formerly written Auburn, and is still so 'pronounced by local tongues; sho can remember that Richard Jcfferies, thus misled, sought to identify her with Goldsmith's Sweet Auburn.

loveliest village of tne plain. But only local patriotism could have dictated such a conclusion Aldbourno cannot well be styled a "village of the plain." and its church certainly doc not "top tho neighbour ing hill'" but onlv recis eracefullv abovo it. And though Aldbourno is ccrtoinfy decayed, in the sense of having known more busy and prosperous days, it is not decayed in tho sense of desertion and desolation. There was a time when the little place, then a town, had a thrivinc wool market but a disastrous fire in 1760: destroyed as many as 72 houses, and the market never recovered. or a wnuo ine neoole continued to make fustians," to nlait willows and weave straw but these industries seem now to liave given way entirely to agriculture, and tho village, with lingering traces of old dignity, is wholly ruraL Tho charming name is pure Saxon, and Aldbourne itcelf chows no cigns of other than a Saxon orison.

But tho district is richly pre hictorio. thickly strewn with relics of British and earlier settlement. A blood older than Celtic may flow in tho veins of theco kindly Wiltshire folk; in remote cpots like this, ctill distant from "railways, long descent may bo expected, and descent whose chief admixtures came in far back times from the znatings of Saxon 'and Colt, or Celt and Ivernian. There may frequently, too, be a trace of other bloods, for Roman soldiers would not have occupied Britain during four centuries, without come result, and the legions wero of mixed European stock, by no moons always Latin. The Roman road that runo close to Baydon, a milo or co distant, in its course to Cricklado and Cirencester, does not touch Aldbourne tho vfllago.

named apparently from tho alderbrook," must have boon a Saxon cottlemont, and its church waa Norman of tho 12th century, from which dato ono arcade in tho nave curviveo. Tho remainder is cliiefly perpendicular, with somo fino Tudor monuments of the Goddards and Wnlrondo. Tho Goddards are an old North "Wiltshire family, whoee history Jeff eries wroto; not only for tho writing of this book, but in other rambungs, Jetienos was oiten at Aldbourno.) Vonr mterectme is tho offigy tomb of Thomas Goddard while another, of tho 17th century, shows a half figure of Edward Walrond, who died aged 96. It is indeed a comoly and well tended church that happily oscapod.tho disastrous fare noDie ana Deaumui within, and with entirely Baticfymg precincts without. Below tho church; stando a very graceful cross.

The village itself has pretty gabled houses, fine barns, and comfortablo inns, with cuch a green and pond as overy country placo ehould pocsoss. But there is another and more grim memory attached to Aldbourno. About a century cinco, when making a rood here, Eomo GO skeletons wore diccoyorod a littlo below the curfaco. This oxhumation brought to ro mombmnei tha covoro. thouch not very de cisive, firiitini? thot took placo around Now b'ury during tho Civil War.

Essex was lying at Hungorf ord, and some of tho Jtoyaust cavalry encountered a body of his London recruits at Aldbourno. Apparently tho Round heads had the better of tho nght. J. no dorp is told that' a Parliamentary officor was loading away a Vonch nobleman, to whom he had granted quarter, whon tno xrenenman cuaaeniy turned and snot mm. js Drams wore immediately dashed out by his woundod captor; and it pocciblo that the ungratoful.

one's bones lay among thoso bo discovered. In cpito of cuch traditions, tho atmocphoro of Aldbourne is now one of so absoluto a peace and go complete a rcctfulno6B that it is not eacy to roalixo that Swindon is only eight miles distant. Tho pageant of cummer paccoo ctill, aa it did briar wind" breathes fragrantly along tho countryeido shoop wander on tho pasture hflls, and the inceccant cohg of the lark thrills abovo.
