Alumna to discuss HIV/AIDS crisis, Feb. 4
Posted January 29, 2004; 11:29 a.m.
A lecture on "The Mother of All Missed Opportunities: Human Rights and the Global HIV/AIDS Crisis" will be presented at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 4, in 2 Robertson Hall.
Speaking will be Joanne Csete, a 1977 Princeton graduate who is director of the HIV/AIDS and Human Rights Program at Human Rights Watch . She oversees a program of research and advocacy related to human rights abuses linked to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Previously chief of policy and programs in the regional office of UNICEF in Nairobi, she worked in Africa for about 10 years on public health and nutrition programs.
In December, Human Rights Watch issued a 40-page report compiled by Csete titled "Policy Paralysis: A Call for Action on HIV/AIDS-Related Human Rights Abuses Against Women and Girls in Africa." The report documents human rights abuses that women and girls suffer at each stage of their lives and that increase their risk for HIV infection. Human Rights Watch makes detailed recommendations to African governments, the United Nations and donors -- including the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria -- to take immediate action to address gender-based violence and discrimination.
The lecture is being sponsored by the Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination , Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies , Center for Health and Wellbeing and Princeton AIDS Initiative .

Family: Procellariidae, Shearwaters and Petrels view all from this family
Description ADULT Pale morph has blue-gray upper wings, back, and tail. Head and underparts are white. Note dark smudge around eye. Dark morph is variably dark blue-gray, uniform in color, except for paler primaries. JUVENILE Similar to the adult, once chick's fluffy white down has been lost.
Dimensions Length: 18" (46 cm)
Habitat Common and found year-round in Arctic and sub-Arctic waters. Nests on ledges on sea cliffs and locally forms sizeable colonies on sea cliffs. In winter, range extends south down Atlantic seaboard.
Observation Tips Seen on pelagic trips, but also occasionally from headlands, especially during onshore gales. Many sub-Arctic birds linger in vicinity of nesting colonies throughout year.
Range Southeast, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Mid-Atlantic, Alaska, New England, Western Canada, California
Voice Utters various gurgling cackles and grunts at colonies, but otherwise silent.
Discussion Medium-sized, superficially gull-like sea_bird relative of shearwaters and petrels. Easily distinguished from gulls at close range by its long tubular nostrils and, in flight, by its more stiffly held wings and effortless gliding. Exceptionally buoyant, rides very high on water, and often gathers in groups where feeding is good, for example around fishing boats. Generally sociable and nests in loose colonies on sea cliffs. At nest, may regurgitate oily and smelly crop contents in a projectile fashion if alarmed by an intruder. Sexes are not separable, but different color morphs occur.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 12:19 PM GMT on July 23, 2012
June 2012 was the globe's 4th warmest June on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). NASA rated May 2012 the 3rd warmest on record. June 2012 global land temperatures were the warmest on record; this makes three months in a row--April, May, and June--in which record-high monthly land temperature records were set. Global ocean temperatures were the 10th warmest on record. June 2012 was the 328th consecutive month with global temperatures warmer than the 20th century average; the last time global temperatures were below average was February 1985. We've now had three consecutive top-five warmest months on record; April 2012 was the 5th warmest April on record, and May 2012 was the 2nd warmest May on record. The increase in global temperatures relative to average, compared to March 2012 (16th warmest March on record) is due, in part, to warming waters in the Eastern Pacific, where a La Niña event ended in April, and borderline El Niño conditions now exist. Global satellite-measured temperatures in June for the lowest 8 km of the atmosphere were 4th or 3rd warmest in the 34-year record, according to Remote Sensing Systems and the University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH). Northern Hemisphere snow cover extent during June 2012 was the smallest in the 46-year period of record. Wunderground's weather historian, Christopher C. Burt, has a comprehensive post on the notable weather events of June in his June 2012 Global Weather Extremes Summary. Notably:
- The U.K. suffered through its wettest June since at least 1910, and coolest such since 1991.
- The monsoon season has been especially devastating so far along the banks of the Brahmaputra River in northeast India and Bangladesh. Over 2000 villages have been flooded and at least 190 deaths reported so far. Almost 20 million people in all have been displaced.
- The Korean Peninsula continued to endure its worst drought in at least 105 years.
Figure 1. Departure of temperature from average for June 2012. In the Northern Hemisphere, most areas experienced much higher-than-average monthly temperatures, including most of North America and Eurasia, and northern Africa. Only northern and western Europe, and the northwestern United States were notably cooler than average. Image credit: National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) .
Arctic sea ice has greatest June loss on record
Arctic sea ice saw its greatest-ever decrease during the month of June, and ice extent averaged over the entire month was the 2nd lowest for June in the 35-year satellite record, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). The last three Junes (2010 - 2012) have had the three smallest ice extents for the month, with June 2012 being the 21st consecutive June and the 133rd consecutive month with below-average Arctic sea ice extent. During much of June 2012 and extending into the first half of July, the Arctic Dipole pattern set up. This atmospheric circulation pattern features a surface high pressure system in the Arctic north of Alaska, and a low pressure system on the Eurasian side of the Arctic. This results in winds blowing from south to north over Siberia, pushing warm air into the central Arctic Ocean. The Arctic Dipole pattern occurred in all summer months of 2007 and helped support the record 2007 summer reduction in sea ice extent. The Arctic Dipole pattern has broken down over the past few days, and is expected to be absent through early August. This should slow Arctic sea ice loss, and ice extent may no longer be at record low levels by the first week of August.
Figure 2. Arctic sea ice area in 2012 as of July 22 (yellow line) compared to all the other years since satellite observations began in 1979. Ice area in 2012 during most of June and July has been the lowest on record. The previous record low years were 2007 and 2011. Note that sea ice area (as shown here) and sea ice extent (as measured by the National Snow and Ice Data Center) are not the same thing, but one can use either to quantify sea ice, and both show very similar behavior.

Three new billion-dollar weather disasters in June
The globe experienced three new billion-dollar weather disasters in June, bringing the total for the year to nine, said insurance broker Aon Benfield in their June Catastrophe Report. The most expensive disaster in June occurred in China, where heavy rains between the between June 20 - 29 affected northern, central, eastern and southern sections of the country. The rains left at least 50 people dead in 17 separate provinces, and caused damage estimated at CNY17.4 billion (USD2.73 billion). The U.S. suffered two billion-dollar severe weather events in June, bringing the total number of such events to six for the year. The record for most billion-dollar disasters in a year in the U.S. is fourteen (according to NOAA/NCDC) or seventeen (according to Aon Benfield.) The most costly event in June 2012 came across portions of Texas and New Mexico, where severe thunderstorms pelted areas (including the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan region) with golf ball and baseball-sized hail. The Insurance Council of Texas said that more than 100,000 claims were filed and total insured losses in the state would exceed $1 billion, with total losses near $1.75 billion. A separate hail event in Colorado and Wyoming caused more than $700 million in insured losses, and $1.25 billion in total losses.

Heaviest rains in 60 years deluge Beijing, killing 37
China's latest billion-dollar weather disaster is a torrential rainstorm that hit Beijing Saturday night, dumping the the heaviest rains the city has seen in 60 years, according to Associated Press. The resulting flooding killed 37 people and did $1.6 billion in damage.

Residents of the Great Plains and the Midwest are bracing for another day of severe weather after tornadoes struck the region on Sunday, May 19. The twisters, part of a massive storm system, were reported in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma on Sunday and into early Monday. On Monday morning, the National Weather Service forecasted similar weather in areas stretching from central Missouri to northern Texas. The storms could impact more than 60 million Americans.
Weather forecasters began warning of bad weather last Wednesday. By Sunday, the National Weather Service was strongly advising people in areas along the path of the violent twisters to find shelter. The warnings helped most people get to safety ahead of the tornadoes, which caused the most damage in areas of central Oklahoma and Wichita, Kansas.
Storm Damage
On Sunday, a half-mile wide twister struck near Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Two residents of the nearby town of Shawnee were killed. Across the state, 21 people were injured.
"It seemed like it went on forever. It was a big rumbling for a long time," Shawn Savory told the Associated Press. His Shawnee-based remodeling business was damaged by the storm. "It was close enough that you could feel like you could reach out and touch it," he added.
The tornado also destroyed homes in the Steelman Estates Mobile Home Park near Shawnee. County Sheriff Mike Booth says it's the worst damage he's seen in 25 years of law enforcement in Pottawatomie County. "It looks like there's been heavy equipment in there on a demolition tour," he said. Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin declared an emergency for 16 counties impacted by the severe storms and flooding over the weekend. The declaration will help residents get the supplies and help they need quickly.
In Wichita, a tornado with winds of 110 miles per hour touched down near Mid-Continent Airport on Sunday. It knocked out power to thousands of homes and businesses nearby. Hailstones the size of golf balls slammed into houses. "It was unbelievable how the hail and everything was just coming straight sideways," Wichita resident Jim Raulston said. However, there were no injuries reported in Kansas.
Tornado Season
In the U.S., tornado season typically occurs from April to July. This year, the central U.S. had been experiencing a relatively quiet tornado season until May 15, when an outbreak of 10 twisters struck North-Central Texas. The tornadoes killed six people and injured dozens more.
Tornadoes usually form during giant thunderstorms called supercells. Many tornadoes are black or brown from the dust and dirt they suck up as they move across the land. During a tornado, the National Weather Service advises people to take shelter in a storm cellar, a basement, or the innermost room on the lowest level of a building.
Weather experts are unable to predict when and where tornadoes will strike. But with a couple of months still left in this year's season, they will certainly be keeping a close watch, as residents of Texas, Oklahoma, and other impacted states pick up the pieces after the latest terrible twisters.

First-Step Summer Transition Program
The First Step Transition Program at Muskingum University provides an intensive and comprehensive summer orientation to postsecondary education for students prior to entry into an undergraduate program. The program targets students with learning disabilities, AD/HD and at-risk students choosing to pursue postsecondary education. Primary emphasis is on the application of learning strategies within the context of a University-level expository course. Additional focus include campus familiarity and the social and emotional changes associated with the transition to a University. Overall, the program aims to reduce student anxiety and to improve student success in the postsecondary environment. Students will leave with a better understanding of their learning styles and a concrete plan for improving their chances for academic success.
First Step is administered by professional learning consultants with the assistance of student mentors, who serve as contact persons during the first year, and is coordinated through Muskingum University's Center for the Advancement of Learning, which has been providing academic support to students for over two decades. Some aspects of the program are geared specifically to Muskingum University's liberal arts academic program, but most topics covered during the orientation are applicable to other postsecondary programs.
Based on previous research and existing transition programs at other institutions, the Center for the Advancement of Learning developed a six-pronged approach to facilitating the postsecondary transition for learning-disabled and other students. These components are integrated throughout the orientation period.
Diagnostic assessments of students' learning styles are used to create profiles of students' strengths and weaknesses, to plan appropriate strategies to use during the academic year, to help students better understand their learning disabilities (if applicable), to evaluate students' expectations about a University compared to high school, to assist students in self-advocacy, and to assist students in scheduling courses and in considering career options. The Center's professional staff members demonstrate how learning style assessments may be applied to students' academic programs. Students will be provided with oral and written summaries of learning style assessment results.
One course focuses on writing and speaking. The other is an expository history course that introduces students to the University-level lecture and lab experience. FSTP courses are instrumental in demonstrating to students the expectations of a University and the performance standards of professors. In addition, the courses provide an academic context for the application of learning strategies.
The learning strategies component of First Step provides students with effective means of enhancing learning strengths and compensating for learning deficiencies. As students begin to develop an effective learning strategies repertoire, they become more effective and efficient learners. Students apply learning strategies to the content of the expository course in individualized and group sessions with the Center's professional learning consultants. Strategy instruction and application activities emphasize time management, organization, notetaking, testing, memory, reading, writing, debriefing, and self-advocacy.
Because the transition to a University is often accompanied by significant social and emotional changes, First Step provides opportunities for student growth and awareness. Participants experience communal living and dining during the program. Professional staff members from the Center as well as student mentors facilitate relationship building among students, encourage the establishment of new friendships and personal support networks, foster internal student motivation, encourage the development of student independence, provide students with a forum for discussing emotional and social concerns, and enhance students' social skills and interpersonal communication skills.
To reduce student anxiety about the University environment, campus awareness activities are an important component of First Step. Students are familiarized with the campus and community layout, are informed of campus activities, and are familiarized with the University operations. Because students are housed in campus dorms and eat in campus dining facilities during the orientation, they gain first-hand experience in campus living.
The variety of campus support services available to students are introduced during the orientation. Knowledge and understanding of support services aids students in becoming independent and in developing self-advocacy skills.
The First Step Transition Program culminates with the development of an Individualized College Plan (ICP) for each student (Clark, 1996). Copies of the ICP are provided to each student and are filed in each students' file for future use in academic support. While development of the ICP begins during the summer orientation, the ICP is a dynamic plan that evolves throughout the student's career. Components of the ICP include:
Because First Step is a highly structured endeavor and because some topics are covered only in general terms during the two-week orientation, it is important to allow for follow-up as students move into the less-structured schedule of the academic year. At Muskingum University, subsequent support is multifaceted and additional information about various topics may be obtained through several avenues:
First-Step Activities
The two-week orientation program is packed with academic and social activities geared toward easing the transition from high school to University. Every attempt has been made to simulate the activities that occur in the typical University student schedule.
Morning and afternoon sessions include lectures, labs, presentations, library work, computer work, tutoring, and study groups. Activities scheduled for the evening sessions include social interactions, and cooperative learning activities.
Participants arrive on early Sunday afternoon. The afternoon is devoted to settling in and socialization. After a cookout on the campus quad, the evening sessions focus on policies, course overviews, and time management-organization strategies. Activities scheduled for the first week include classes, learning assessments, strategy instruction, strategy application, academic reinforcement, campus awareness, and social and emotional issues. Supervised field trips to local attractions are planned over the weekend. During the second week, students participate in classes, strategy application, academic reinforcement, support services, social and emotional issues, and career counseling activities. The session concludes on the second Saturday with an individual student evaluation session.
Admission to First-Step
Although students with learning-disabilities, AD/HD and at-risk students are targeted, First Step is open to any student making the transition from high school to University. The orientation is appropriate for incoming Muskingum University students or any student preparing to enter a postsecondary program. Computer equipment is provided and no prior knowledge of computers is required.
Participants in First Step are charged a fee that includes instruction, room and board, course materials, orientation materials, and field trip transportation. The fee for 2011 is $2,600.
Space will be limited. Interested students are encouraged to apply early for the program. Application materials may be obtained by contacting the Center for the Advancement of Learning by phone at 740-826-8280 or by mail at Walter Hall, Muskingum University, New Concord, Ohio 43762-1199.

As one set foot in the Memminger Auditorium for the 7th annual A Furry Affair, benefitting the Charleston Animal Society, it became quickly apparent that animal lovers come from all walks of life.
Young and old, fashionistas and hippies, media mavens and lawyers—all came out in support of our four-legged friends, making for a interesting and enthusiastic crowd. A couple of ladies sported towering hats adorned with stuffed-animal puppies and enormous feathers. "We're the Hat Divas," one of them explained.
The mixed-bag crowd circulated to and from Cafe Catering's delicious spread of small plates, which were served through a large set of shelves. The lobster macaroni and cheese was quite a hit, as were the shrimp and crab grit cake and the tiny flutes of raspberry mousse.
A man rocking a mesh shirt and green lipstick and his blue-eyeshadow-sporting plus one briefly distracted me from the extensive silent auction of local art, but just as I was about to pat the Charleston Animal Society on the back for bringing in this season's most exciting crowd of partygoers, I realized the couple was actually in costume.
They stepped forward as two massive lengths of cloth uncoiled from the ceiling, and each respectively treated the crowd to what can only be described as mesmerizing, gravity-defying feats of athleticism. The awed guests responded with a thunderous round of applause before turning their attention to the live auction.
The night was a refreshing addition to this summer's party scene, and it was wonderful to see an event appeal to such a wide variety of Charlestonians.
The Charleston Animal Society is a non-profit organization offering temporary shelter for abandoned, sick, abused, or homeless pets. The Charleston Animal Society strives to promote responsible guardianship of domestic animals as well as advocating the compassionate treatment of all animals. In addition to providing temporary shelter for animals, the organization also provides medical care, spay/neuter education, and opportunities for pet adoption.

CHAPTER XV.page: 265
IT was all very well for Father to ask us not to make a row because the Indian Uncle was coming to talk business, but my young brother's boots are not the only things that make a noise. We took his boots away and made him wear Dora's bath slippers, which are soft and woolly, and hardly any soles to them; and of course we wanted to see the Uncle, so we looked over the banisters when he came, and we were as quiet as mice—but when Eliza had let him in she went straight down to the kitchen and made the most awful row you ever heard, it sounded like the Day of Judgment, or all the saucepans and crockery in the house being kicked about the floor, but she told me afterwards it was only the tea‐tray and one or two cups and saucers, that she had knocked over in her page: 266 flurry. We heard the Uncle say, "God bless my soul!" and then he went into Father's study and the door was shut—we didn't see him properly at all that time.
I don't believe the dinner was very nice. Something got burned I'm sure—for we smelt it. It was an extra smell, besides the mutton. I know that got burned. Eliza wouldn't have any of us in the kitchen except Dora—till dinner was over. Then we got what was left of the dessert, and had it on the stairs—just round the corner where they can't see you from the hall, unless the first landing gas is lighted. Suddenly the study door opened and the Uncle came out and went and felt in his great coat pocket. It was his cigar‐case he wanted. We saw that afterwards. We got a much better view of him then. He didn't look like an Indian but just like a kind of brown, big Englishman, and of course he didn't see us, but we heard him mutter to himself—
"Shocking bad dinner! Eh!—what?" When he went back to the study he didn't shut the door properly. That door has always been a little tiresome since the day we took the lock off to get out the pencil sharpener H.O. had shoved into the keyhole. We didn't listen—really and truly—but the Indian Uncle has page: 267 a very big voice, and Father was not going to be beaten by a poor Indian in talking or anything else—so he spoke up too, like a man, and I heard him say it was a very good business, and only wanted a little capital—and he said it as if it was an imposition he had learned, and he hated having to say it. The Uncle said, "Pooh, pooh!" to that, and then he said he was afraid that what that same business wanted was not capital but management. Then I heard my Father say, "It is not a pleasant subject: I am sorry I introduced it. Suppose we change it, sir. Let me fill your glass." Then the poor Indian said something about vintage—and that a poor, broken‐down man like he was couldn't be too careful. And then Father said, "Well, whisky then," and afterwards they talked about Native Races and Imperial something or other and it got very dull.
So then Oswald remembered that you must not hear what people do not intend you to hear—even if you are not listening and he said, "We ought not to stay here any longer. Perhaps they would not like us to hear—"
Alice said, "Oh, do you think it could possibly matter?" and went and shut the study door softly but quite tight. So it was page: 268 no use staying there any longer, and we went to the nursery.
Then Noël said, "Now I understand. Of course my Father is making a banquet for the Indian, because he is a poor, broken‐down man. We might have known that from 'Lo, the poor Indian!' you know."
We all agreed with him, and we were glad to have the thing explained, because we had not understood before what Father wanted to have people to dinner for—and not let us come in.
"Poor people are very proud," said Alice, "and I expect Father thought the Indian would be ashamed, if all of us children knew how poor he was."
Then Dora said, "Poverty is no disgrace. We should honour honest Poverty."
And we all agreed that that was so.
"I wish his dinner had not been so nasty," Dora said, while Oswald put lumps of coal on the fire with his fingers, so as not to make a noise. He is a very thoughtful boy, and he did not wipe his fingers on his trouser leg as perhaps Noël or H.O. would have done, but he just rubbed them on Dora's handkerchief while she was talking. "I am afraid the dinner was horrid." Dora went on. "The page: 269 table looked very nice with the flowers we got. I set it myself, and Eliza made me borrow the silver spoons and forks from Albert‐next‐door's Mother."
"I hope the poor Indian is honest," said Dicky gloomily, "when you are a poor, broken down man silver spoons must be a great temptation."
Oswald told him not to talk such Tommy‐rot because the Indian was a relation, so of course he couldn't do anything dishonourable. And Dora said it was all right any way, because she had washed up the spoons and forks herself and counted them, and they were all there, and she had put them into their wash‐leather bag, and taken them back to Albert‐next‐door's Mother.
"And the brussels sprouts were all wet and swimmy," she went on, "and the potatoes looked grey—and there were bits of black in the gravy—and the mutton was bluey‐red and soft in the middle. I saw it when it came out. The apple‐pie looked very nice—but it wasn't quite done in the apply part. The other thing that was burnt—you must have smelt it, was the soup."
"It is a pity," said Oswald; "I don't suppose he gets a good dinner every day."page: 270
"No more do we," said H.O., "but we shall to‐morrow."
I thought of all the things we had bought with our half‐sovereign—the rabbit and the sweets and the almonds and raisins and figs and the cocoanut: and I thought of the nasty mutton and things, and while I was thinking about it all Alice said—
"Let's ask the poor Indian to come to dinner with us to‐morrow." I should have said it myself if she had given me time.
We got the little ones to go to bed by promising to put a note on their dressing‐table saying what had happened, so that they might know the first thing in the morning, or in the middle of the night if they happened to wake up, and then we elders arranged everything.
I waited by the back door, and when the Uncle was beginning to go Dicky was to drop a marble down between the banisters for a signal, so that I could run round and meet the Uncle as he came out.
This seems like deceit, but if you are a thoughtful and considerate boy you will understand that we could not go down and say to the Uncle in the hall under Father's eye, "Father has given you a beastly, nasty dinner, but if you will come to dinner with page: 271 us to‐morrow, we will show you our idea of good things to eat." You will see, if you think it over, that this would not have been at all polite to Father.
So when the Uncle left, Father saw him to the door and let him out, and then went back to the study, looking very sad, Dora says.
As the poor Indian came down our steps he saw me there at the gate. I did not mind his being poor, and I said, "Good evening, Uncle," just as politely as though he had been about to ascend into one of the gilded chariots of the rich and affluent, instead of having to walk to the station a quarter of a mile in the mud, unless he had the money for a tram fare.
"Good evening, Uncle." I said it again, for he stood staring at me. I don't suppose he was used to politeness from boys—some boys are anything but—especially to the Aged Poor.
So I said, "Good evening, Uncle," yet once again. Then he said—
"Time you were in bed, young man. Eh!—what?"
Then I saw I must speak plainly with him, man to man. So I did. I said—
"You've been dining with my Father, and we couldn't help hearing you say the dinner was shocking. So we thought as you're an page: 272 Indian, perhaps you're very poor"—I didn't like to tell him we had heard the dreadful truth from his own lips, so I went on, "because of 'Lo, the poor Indian'—you know—and you can't get a good dinner every day. And we are very sorry if you're poor; and won't you come and have dinner with us to‐morrow—with us children, I mean? It's a very, very good dinner—rabbit, and hardbake, and cocoanut—and you needn't mind us knowing you're poor, because we know honourable poverty is no disgrace, and—" I could have gone on much longer, but he interrupted me to say—
"Upon my word! And what's your name, eh?"
"Oswald Bastable," I said; and I do hope you people who are reading this story have not guessed before that I was Oswald all the time.
"Oswald Bastable, eh? Bless my soul!" said the poor Indian. "Yes, I'll dine with you, Mr. Oswald Bastable, with all the pleasure in life. Very kind and cordial invitation, I'm sure. Good night, sir. At one o'clock, I presume?"
"Yes, at one," I said. "Good night, sir."
Then I went in and told the others, and we wrote a paper and put it on the boy's dressing‐table, and it said—page: 273
"The poor Indian is coming at one. He seemed very grateful to me for my kindness."
We did not tell Father that the Uncle was coming to dinner with us, for the polite reason that I have explained before. But we had to tell Eliza; so we said a friend was coming to dinner and we wanted everything very nice. I think she thought it was Albert‐next‐door, but she was in a good temper that day, and she agreed to cook the rabbit and to make a pudding with currants in it. And when one o'clock came the Indian Uncle came too. I let him in and helped him off with his great‐coat, which was all furry inside, and took him straight to the nursery. We were to have dinner there as usual, for we had decided from the first that he would enjoy himself more if he was not made a stranger of. We agreed to treat him as one of ourselves, because if we were too polite, he might think it was our pride because he was poor.
He shook hands with us all and asked our ages, and what schools we went to, and shook his head when we said we were having a holiday just now. I felt rather uncomfortable—I always do when they talk about schools—and I couldn't think of anything to say to show him we meant to treat him as one of ourselves. page: 274 I did ask if he played cricket. He said he had not played lately. And then no one said anything till dinner came in. We had all washed our faces and hands and brushed our hair before he came in, and we all looked very nice, especially Oswald, who had had his hair cut that very morning. When Eliza had brought in the rabbit and gone out again, we looked at each other in silent despair, like in books. It seemed as if it were going to be just a dull dinner like the one the poor Indian had had the night before; only, of course, the things to eat would be nicer. Dicky kicked Oswald under the table to make him say something—and he had his new boots on, too!—but Oswald did not kick back; then the Uncle asked—
"Do you carve, sir, or shall I?"
Suddenly Alice said—
"Would you like grown‐up dinner, Uncle, or play‐dinner?"
He did not hesitate a moment, but said, "Play‐dinner, by all means. Eh!—what?" and then we knew it was all right.
So we at once showed the Uncle how to be a dauntless hunter. The rabbit was the deer we had slain in the green forest with our trusty yew bows, and we toasted the joints of it, when the Uncle had carved it, on bits of fire‐wood page: 275 page: 275 sharpened to a point. The Uncle's piece got a little burnt, but he said it was delicious, and he said game was always nicer when you had killed it yourself. When Eliza had taken away the rabbit bones and brought in the pudding, we waited till she had gone out and shut the door, and then we put the dish down on the floor and slew the pudding in the dish in the good old‐fashioned way. It was a wild boar at bay, and very hard indeed to kill, even with forks. The Uncle was very fierce indeed with the pudding, and jumped and howled when he speared it, but when it came to his turn to be helped, he said, "No, thank you; think of my liver. Eh!—what?"
But he had some almonds and raisins—when we had climbed to the top of the chest of drawers to pluck them from the boughs of the great trees; and he had a fig from the cargo that the rich merchants brought in their ship—the long drawer was the ship—and the rest of us had the sweets and the cocoanut. It was a very glorious and beautiful feast, and when it was over we said we hoped it was better than the dinner last night. And he said—
"I never enjoyed a dinner more." He was too polite to say what he really thought about Father's dinner. And we saw that though he might be poor, he was a true gentleman.page: 276
He smoked a cigar while we finished up what there was left to eat, and told us about tiger shooting and about elephants. We asked him about wigwams, and wampum, and mocassins, and beavers, but he did not seem to know, or else he was shy about talking of the wonders of his native land.
We liked him very much indeed, and when he was going at last, Alice nudged me, and I said—"There's one and threepence farthing left out of our half‐sovereign. Will you take it, please, because we do like you very much indeed, and we don't want it, really; and we would rather you had it." And I put the money into his hand.
"I'll take the threepenny bit," he said, turning the money over and looking at it, "but I couldn't rob you of the rest. By the way, where did you get the money for this most royal spread—half a sovereign you said—eh, what?"
We told him all about the different ways we had looked for treasure, and when we had been telling some time he sat down, to listen better; and at last we told him how Alice had played at divining‐rod, and how it really had found a half‐sovereign. Then he said he would like to see her do it again. But we explained that the rod would only show gold and silver, and page: 277 that we were quite sure there was no more gold in the house, because we happened to have looked very carefully.
"Well, silver, then," said he; "let's hide the plate‐basket, and little Alice shall make the divining‐rod find it. Eh!—what?"
"There isn't any silver in the plate‐basket now," Dora said. "Eliza asked me to borrow the silver spoons and forks for your dinner last night from Albert‐next‐door's Mother. Father never notices, but she thought it would be nicer for you. Our own silver went to have the dents taken out; and I don't think Father could afford to pay the man for doing it, for the silver hasn't come back."
"Bless my soul!" said the Uncle again, looking at the hole in the big chair that we burnt when we had Guy Fawkes" day indoors. "And how much pocket‐money do you get? Eh!—what?"
"We don't have any now," said Alice; "but indeed we don't want the other shilling. We'd much rather you had it, wouldn't we?"
And the rest of us said, "Yes." The Uncle wouldn't take it, but he asked a lot of questions, and at last he went away. And when he went he said—
"Well, youngsters, I've enjoyed myself very page: 278 much. I shan't forget your kind hospitality. Perhaps the poor Indian may be in a position to ask you all to dinner some day."
Oswald said if he ever could we should like to come very much, but he was not to trouble to get such a nice dinner as ours, because we could do very well with cold mutton and rice pudding. We do not like these things, but Oswald knows how to behave. Then the poor Indian went away.
We had not got any treasure by this party, but we had had a very good time, and I am sure the Uncle enjoyed himself.
We were so sorry he was gone that we could none of us eat much tea; but we did not mind, because we had pleased the poor Indian and enjoyed ourselves too. Besides, as Dora said, "A contented mind is a continual feast," so it did not matter about not wanting tea.
Only H.O. did not seem to think a continual feast was a contented mind, and Eliza gave him a powder in what was left of the red‐currant jelly Father had for the nasty dinner.
But the rest of us were quite well, and I think it must have been the cocoanut with H.O. We hoped nothing had disagreed with the Uncle, but we never knew.

This distinctive basket belonged to the archives of renowned Australian artist Margaret Preston (1875–1963). Preston was 'one of the first artists to advocate the use of Aboriginal designs and motifs in Australian art. From the 1920s she travelled widely in Australia studying and searching for Aboriginal art', which influenced her work for much of her career. She promoted 'an art form that was a blend of Aboriginal tradition and contemporary styles'.
(Claire Baddeley, Motif and meaning: Aboriginal influences in Australian art 1930–1970, 1999, pp. 3–4. For further reading, see A changing relationship: Aboriginal Themes in Australian Art 1938–1988, (exh. cat.), SH Ervin Gallery, 1988)
Visitors to this exhibition have recently provided information that this basket is not by an Australian Aboriginal maker as originally documented, but likely to be from Buka Island off New Guinea. One anecdote related that, in the 1950s, Buka women would come to the larger Manus Island and sell such baskets on market days to navy personnel stationed there.
