only Interruptions the dreamy and balmy ta-
most too balmy al presenD existence are the messes
which take place daily. The ordinary Idea OF a
mess Is something unpleasant. but the messes
at the camp not unpleasant; on the contrary
they are delightful The Ianthe men have a mess
made charming by detachment from 'Squaw
Point" and the other largest messcs are those OF
the Knickerbocker and Arlington clubs. Mess Is
such a horrld word Why don't they call their
meals something else? But. after all. as some one
said. What's IN name ana undoubtedly
savory messes are served at the messes. so every
body who Is fortunate enough to belong TO these
pleasant gatherings is happy presumably Ana
