WOMAN EXPLORER TOURS IN AFRICA Drives Her Flivyer Through Dark Continent Boston, Avg. 9. (P—A bobbed “Nred young woman, honking a horn and driving an aulomohlle‘! zive to some women members of n\ few central African tribes their first | lesson in modern civilization. She is Mrs. Stella Court Treatt, first white woman to penctrate | ome of the remote districts of | hat continent, and feminine chauf- | feur for a party of five, led by her | husband, Major C. Court Treatt, | F. R. G. §, F. R. C. L Their journey | oxclusively by automobile was from Capetown to Cairo, a distance of 2,000 miles. As Mrs. Treatt | records in her book, “Cape t Cal- | ro”, the tours through unsurveyed | wilderness brought their mileage to 13.000 in 16 months. | Mrs. Treatt was second in com- | mand. Her special titles, however, { were “the three D's” — doctor, diarist and darner. One entry in her diary reads: | “I hope never to darn another stocking in my life.” Later she | writes: | ‘I am trying to forget I am 4 wo- | man; it isn't always easy, but J am sure it is the only way to get | through. But how I would love a big bath and some silky clothes to | wear just this once! | "I dream of my missing hair as | a fox does of his lost tail! “But women explorers can't have everything, and T am beginning to | *e rather expert in dolng without | luxuries." ! In many o* the group gained favor natives hecauss Mrs. first ald to ailing babies. | white people, especially the woman | in her boy's clothes, were a source of amazement. Native Dinkas turned out to stare at the machine | and its ocupants, but never did| the natives give any real trouble ori seriously hinder their progrese. Despite the lask of traffic regu- lations—the bane of a motoiist's existence — Mrs. Treatt shows clearly that a journcy through Af- rica by motor car is by no means exclusively a “pleasure trip." i Roads that ran into river beds bordered with swamps:. streams where new bridges had to be built to bear the cars’ burdens; jungle | lands with lions' eyes for traffic | lights; hostile native pedestrians— these were some of the difficuities | encountered on the trip. A complete motfon picture record was kept frem the day they leoff Capetowen, Sept. 15, 1924, until ‘hey | reached Cairo, Jan. 26, 1926. They pail tribute to Cecil Rhodes, famous explorer. when | they passed his grave in Bulawayo. | Dressmakers’ Shops Deserted by Society | Parls, Aug. 9.
