That pink sunbonuet used to perplex
me. Glow is it that Baby, and even you,
| are addicted to sunbonuets? They are
not much used In the East" asked Jeaue
| one day.
| My mother taught me how to make
them, she answered; | have always had
| one"
| Sunbonnets are a feature OF dress re-
tanned now mostly In southern life. l
began to think that Mrs. Honora Godfrey
must have been southern woman.

Jeane is certainly a fine cook. Her
bread has no superior. And her meals
are varied, very dainty, and sometimes
fanciiul. The Toggiuses do not indulge In
rs hearty a style OF living as many Of their
neig hbors, who have meats, pies and
doug hnuts three times day, aud use a
great dea, OF the yellow Indian meal.
This morning we had:
Stcwed dried peaches
Oatmeal and cream
Beef hash Fried potatoes
foached eggs
Graham mullins
Coffee MIX
THIS noon:
Roast chicken
Grape Jelly
Onions in cream Canned corn
Mashed potatoes baked with egg cu7tard
Banana cream pie
Bread
| Coffee MIX
Toggins assures me that their house
keeping costs very little. They have Il
large garden, and Jeane is economical and
| managerial.
AUGUST |.
| Baby Toggins by some queer chance
was right after all, for we sighted the
| porgee fishing boats this morning. They
were anchored close toget her to the south
east OF Oak Point. Oak Point il the
name OF the south end of the land OF
| Trenton, aud Trenton lies directly across
to the east from New bury Neck. 1t is
| upon this mainland, at the head OF Union
river, that Ellsworth is located.
| The boats resembled government dredg-
| ing crafts, with long shaft-iike poles
stood vertically up in the bows from
| which they cast their nets. They are run
| by steam aud have no mast-. Baby Toy.
| gins calls them the "hig fish that scoot'.
New bury Neck had no constable, but
/ at my inst CATION, foEgins WAS appointed
one with the nominal salary of - year.
| roget her wc sailed over to Oak Point in
In&E.u-' -ioop named, ut Baby, wish,
MIR. and Mrs. Jim, and landing,
watched The poreee bouts from the screen
Of IT, "uuis. Towards noon they itted
anchor and slowly steamed To tie west
side OF Eartiett,s Island, disappearing
around Burnt Point. We Immediately
gave pursuit. Allthis time they md re-
msfucG harml,,-, not casting so much es
one ti-h itue.
TIA" hretzs taitod as. and We were
Obliged to resort 10 our oars, but opposite
/ High Head Ne caught the wind again,
/ and swung on at a brisk rate. Rounding
{ Burnt Point, we saw that the porgymen
had come to anchor in Bluehill bay, half
way between Darlngs and Jed's islands
f We sailed quite near. On two of the
| boats We're heart looking sailors,
but on the third, in the stern, were
grouped number OF white flannel clad
men, no wore the conventional jaunty
/ yachting caps. They were minuteIy OBJ
serving the shore OF New bury Neck with
/ spy glasses. One Of them | particularly
noticed had very bright colored hair and
| beard; almost the shade, in fact OF chrome
! yellow. Their features were not at all
! familiar to me, could not trace even a
! slight resem blance in them to the men
/ W HON we had on trial in Ellsworth. But
we suspected al the time that we had not
caught the real parties, merely their rep
/ resentatives. These were the genuine Of
/ tenders. But why should they be so
! much Interested in the shore o: New bury
| Neck?
I Like truly big fish that whisk into bays
I and then out again, in less than an hour
/ they steamed of on the east side of Long
( Island as though they intended rounding
7 fremont ON Mount Desert island, and
i uaking for the Atlantic. We gave up the
chase and returned home.
We found Jeane standing alone on the
beach waiting for Us. She was hatlcss
and the sun was partially ayerted from
her head by blue sun umbr, Tia. She
stood on rork ;he Inst OF q series OF
