One of the sources Of fun which we guides
enjoy is catching the young folks kissing
out on the balcony up there at the feet Of
the Goddess Of Lberty. There appears to
be something in the air at that high elti-
tude or something in the romantic sur
roundings that tn3ncasseuthnsut and love.
At any rate, it Is fxFurits place for kiss

to be stolen away up there, right out in

catch young folks embracing enc another
as we walk quickly around the balcony.
Some of these are brides end Eroouns, Of
course, but soma OF them aren'ts and I
venture the assertion that many thousands
of life engagements, good, bad and intff-
ferent, date their origin from the moment
In which the chief actors stood out there
on the balcony over the roof OF the Capitol
and near the feet Of the Goddess Of Liberty.
''The brides, heaven bless them, we al

pretty women in the United Etstes have

In the matter Of eqRt9ping themselves
for a CAMP it depends entirely on what a
party understands camping TO be. If they
are to merely put up "a tent On the border
of some pleasure resort, close to thorough
fares of travel end sources of supply, they
may be said TO be simply taking summer
board a fresco, and may furnish their
tents hxuriously and adorn their ground,
while they themselves May indulge in the
blazingesb of blazers and the nobbiest Of
tennis shoes, hats,aud sashes. There is no
rule governing the equipment of such a
camp It is subject only to the tastes,
whims and resources of its occupants. But
the camp IN the wilderness, TO enjoy which
the camper out pushes miles away from
comIRuniOn with any but his fellow camp
ers, Is an entirely different thing. Life in
one OT these is the only true camp life.

Professor Dolius,

We were shown a private letter
from Professor George Delius, who
is now in Spokane Falls, Washing
ton, in which he speaks of the new
Opera House now in course of con-
struction in that city, and of which
he hopes to obtain the position as
musical director when it is COM
pleted. Professor Delius' name is
"household" word in musical cir
cles on Wood River, where he re-
sided for several years. He was
formerly a member of the famous
"Stauss' Orchestra" at Vienna,
Austria, and is entirely competent
to fill the position he desires. The
people of Spokane Falls will be
extremely fortunate if they can
secure the services of so excellent
musician as Professor Delius as
musical director of their opera
house, and his old friends On Wood
River will be glad to see him oecu-
plying the position.
