For the third time that day I dressed; then I went downstairs and found Johnston. "Hello," he said. "Been having a bath? Good!" I stiffened perceptibly at "good." We chatted a little while, then I breathed my sincere thanks and left them. My arrival at the Fergusons' was rather early, somewhere about seven-thirty. I was shown into the drawing-room while the maid went to inform Mrs. Ferguson of my arrival. In two minutes she returned. "Will you come this way, Sir?" she said. I went that way. Ten minutes later I emerged from Ferguson's bath and walked into his dressing-room. Ferguson had arrived. "Hello!" he said. "Been having a bath? Good!" I winced at the word; then I smiled bravely and started to dress--for the fourth time. * * * It was eleven o'clock when I got back to camp, and I found to my surprise that the Mess had been moved from the tent to the new hut. "Hello!" they said, "how do you like the new quarters?" I surveyed the bare boards. "Topping," I replied, "but it's not anywhere near finished." "No," said the Junior Major, "but the bath's in.

It has occurred to me that some account of its curious manners and customs may not be without interest for such readers as are still unacquainted with them. As Cinemaland contains many departments, each of which has peculiarities of its own, I cannot attempt more than a general description.
