your correspondent: THE rumor that
was going to Europe was unfounded.
/ cannot afford to go to Europe this
year. l am going to spend a week or
ten days on the sea coast, where the
air is always beneficial to me. After
that l shall take a slow vessel up the
Hudson and enjoy the atmosphere and
scenery of that wonderful section of our
country. / expect to spend little time
on Lake Champlain and then to so up
the st. Lawrence river and over the
lakes to Mackinac island. There L shall
remain until some time in the rall. l
do not think there is any better sum-
mering place in Europe than can be
found in this country, and Mackinac
Is one Of the finest. l shall have an
opportunity while at Mackinac to see
a number Of my friends on the Upper
Peninsula, and that will be a great
pleasure to me, because / have some
very warm friends there, whom do
