are not expected to pay any more than if
they stopped at only two or three. But,
seriously, there is something to be said

and even at that rate the property prob
ably does not pay fair interest on its value
The house Is only open four months of the
year, and of these four months, two are
sort of dead open-and-shut on the propri-
etors. so far as profit is concerned. July
and August are really all that the lcssees
have to get back their money in. They
make long reaches for it in those eight
weeks, and do pretty well, taking the diff
fcultes of the case into account--but l
don't believe any one could get me to take
n hand at the game, Notwithstanding that

the summcr-hotel business. And so far l
have not circulated around much finding
it plcasantcr to sit in a room and write from
imagination than to be out in the rain with
out an umbrella gathering facts.
