Few girls of her age - for she is only twenty-one - have had such opportunities of gaining experience as Miss Minty Lamb. At the age of three she was adopted by her uncle, George R. Sims, that perfect type of the Bohemian journalist in the days when Bohemia still lingered on in London. Until his death Miss Lamb went everywhere with him, and in particular acquired a unique knowledge of London, which he knew as few Londoners know it. This knowledge furnished her with material for a lecture tour of South and East Africa, and it is of her amusing experiences in towns, universities and the houses of sheikhs that she will talk to-night.
