Mrs. Pears has been a traveller all her life. Her first journey was at the age of four, when she went to Halifax, Nova Scotia, with her father, Lieut.-General R.G.A. Luard who was Colonel of the Cinque Port Volunteers. When she was ten her father was appointed General Commanding the Militia in Canada, and she spent the next four and a half years in Ottawa.
In 1893 she went out to Bombay where she was married to Arthur Grant Pears, a civil engineer doing surveying work in Burma. They were in Mandalay for five months and then went up to the Shan Hills - the scene of her 'housekeeping in adventure,' which she is to describe today. Her husband's work has taken her to many parts of the world - Nyasaland, India, Brazil, the Argentine; and across the Andes to Chile. She has crossed the Atlantic eight times and has been sixteen times through the Suez Canal.

Simon de Montfort, of French descent, is a hero of English history, and was described by a contemporary as 'one of the wisest and stoutest warriors in England'. He issued the writ that first summoned the merchant and the trader to sit beside knight, baron, and bishop in the parliament of the realm. The England of his own day considered him not so much a reformer of the government as a champion of righteousness.
His contests with Henry III belong to history. In 1264 he took up arms and routed the king at Lewes, and for 1 year became virtually dictator of England, but he was then to be defeated and killed at Evesham by the king's son, the future Edward I.
