Lock Cummin an excellent and ac-
commodating driver, 50 that the trip
from Hunts to 'Sowadnehunk, even for
ladies, is not a formidable matter, but
full of interest. There is a camp be-
longing to Mr. Hunt where the party
and horses may rest for the MONDAY
meal Camp Phoenix should be reached
in the middle of the afternoon. We did
not arrive until five o'clock, having
spent much time in clearing the trail of
fallen trees. The trip from the West
Branch to the lake has some very beau
tiful and some very grand scenery,
where the rushing stream leaps over
giant boulders in the riverbed, and the
banks of the stream rise sheer for many
hundred feet.
Camp Phoenix is at present conducted
by VIII McLain and the Hall Brothers,
enterprising young men, expert canoe
men. hard working guides and familiar
with the country; and they do all in
their power 40 make every visitor sue
cessful as well as comfortable.
The members of our party are all en-
thusiastic about the trip, and feel that,
even If they had not come back with all
the trophies they could carry, they
would still have been well repaid for
time and trouble, in having visited one
of the most beautiful lakes they had?

This camp was built by A. Mc1ain

in the very midst of a big game and

impossible to surpass. Those undis-

and down gazing at her window the young
woman understands what it means and
comes out and makes sleeps eyes in the
same direction. The two will look at each
other for hours without word being
spoken. Men may come and men may
go, but still they look. AS a rule, the
passers-by do not notice the lovers. 1t Is
often not safe to do So The action may
be misconstrued, the lover may become
jealous and a knife thrust under the fifth
rib, most likely given in the dark, may
follow.
After practicing this dragon act for
some time the young man may go to the
papa and say he would like to call upon
his daughter with a view of proposing. If
papa says all right, he calls, and day
or so later you will see an item in the
paper stating that young Senior So-and-so
is paying attentions to Senorita Thus
and-so, and that a marriage will prob
ably soon take place.
When the young man calls upon his
sweetheart all of the family-are in the
room. He gets her as far off as he can.
From this time on until after the mar
riage he must pay attentions to no other
woman. If he goes to dance or party
he must come early and wait for her, and
he will spend the evening with her alone
At every party in Montevdeo you see
lot of these young lovers, who are called
novios, waiting for their affianced, or
novias. The girl pays attention to no one
but her novio, and the boy has eyes for
his novia alone. The two get off by
themselves and devote the evening to soft
spooning compliments about each other.

NO BREACH OF PROMISE.
If you ask a mother as to where her
daughter is at such a reception she will
say that she is with her novio, and the
subject is dismissed as a matter of
course. l was chatting about this one
day with one of the Montevidean society
ladies, when l asked: What do you do
If the 'novio' gets disguised and goes
back on the girl, refusing to marry her
or vice versa?" She replied:

would be disgraced by society," and as for
the girls, their chief end in life is mar
riage, and they don't dare to miss the
chance. The marriage state here is far
ahead Of single blessedness. The married
woman rules society. After her wedding
she can do as she pleases. When the

great Yorkshire family of that name.
They were tall and beautiful blondes,
with fair hair and great appealing eyes,
exquisite maners and soft musical
voices. The sister to whom Durham paid
his regards was the reigning belle Of the
season of 1883. She had lovers in plenty,
but whether her heart was given to any
one of them may never be known
At least Miss Miner did not love the
earl. Family pressure was brought upon
her not to refuse so great a match and
she went to the altar with a sad heart
and swore with the Earl Of Durham the
oaths which she has kept. and he

trouble that came.

| complacent. She did not love him, had
never loved him and did not learn the
lesson after marriage.
She was strangely sad, listless, dis
traught. She cared nothing for her hus-
band or his doings.
The earl established the truth of this
by an original experiment. To test her
affection he kissed another lady in her
presence, while in a brilliant party tray-
cling to Yorkshire by special train.
By singular coincidence the lady Sc
lected for this experiment was also very
beautiful-the Countess de Gray, In fact
but the Countess Of Durham remained
listless. The others of the party agreed
with Durham that his wife must be
crazy, although one might as easily sup
pose that a proud woman would disdain
to notice such an insult.
Other proofs" followed. Lady Dur
ham used to evade her attendants and
wander all day long In country lanes or
London streets, returning late at night
covered with mud, pathetic, wild-eyed
vision of beauty. So. calmly beautiful was
her Ophelia face that no one ever dared
modest her upon these strange excur-
sions, and some would mutter a prayer
for the unhappy lady as she passed in
her shining, bedraggled robes.
Next came the story of a strange scene
In the Duke of Abercorn's Hampden
house. A brilliant ball was in progress
the great rooms were ablaZe with light,
thronged with merry dancers. None was
more beautiful than Lady Durham, and
none, surely. so distraught. For while
she wandered about, staring with vacant
eyes at the assembly. Then some thought,
perhaps the coming of her customary re-
firing hour, prompted her to begin un-

ter, asking her why she had not come to
dine that day. He is very fond of her
and considers himself her godfather, as
1t were. He had her sing for him at the
reception and later on she took the man
dolin and sang the national air of Par
aguay in Spanish and a plantation song
or two In our own darkey dialect with
great applause. Shortly after this the
president left the room and we, after
shaking hands with our hostess and the
fifty other people remaining, departed.
LATE HOURS IN MONTEvIDEO.
It was twenty minutes past 10 p. m. at
this time. This, however, is early for
Montevideo. where invitations are often
for midnight and dances and parties last
till daybreak. So 1t was not too late to
make another call. That same night we
visited DIR. Salterain, who until recently
was secretary Of state, and who Is one
Of the most accomplished and influential
men of the republic. We remained there
until IL o'clock, having tea, music and a
general chat.
I am surprised to find that so many Of
the people Of Uruguay speak several
languages. Most Of the women I met at
the presidents spoke French, Spanish and
italian with equal f1uency. Mrs. Salter-
ain spoke English. and DR.. Salterain is
fine English scholar. The people

musicians, and every other man you meet
can play either the piano or guitar, or
both. During our call when Mrs. Salter-
ain was at the piano she was asked to
play certain air, and upon saying that
she did not remember it her mother took
her place. AS she played there was a dis
pute as to one of the parts and the doc
tor himself sat down and played it off
from memory, drifting at its close into
the "Marseillaise.
THE HANDSOME oRIENTALEs.
The Orientales, for that is what the
Cruguayans call themselves, are noted
for their beautiful, cultured and fashion

Portenos, or Buenos Ayres women, as to
beauty, and consider themselves much
more aristocratic and high born. They

big as Washington, and quite as cold,

often receives dressed in furs, with her
hands in muff and her feet on a hot
water bottle, and gentlemen and ladies
come to state dinners in overcoats and
fur capes.
WAGES AND SERVANTS.
Such families have hosts of servants
They have their coachmen and footmen
their housemaids, ladies' maids and sew
Ing women. Men cooks are often en-
ployed, and in such cases it is custom
airy to give the cook a certain amount
per day. allow him to do the marketing
and take his wages out of this allow
ance. Even where he is given the money
for marketing only, it is expected that he
will steal little every day
The wages of servants are high. Cooks
receive from sl4 to s25 per month, or about
as much as they do in Washington. and
housemaids are paid from $40 to SIS per
month. These figures are in gold, for
Uruguayan money Is worth even more
than American.
Uruguayan families are large. When g.
child is married 1t brings it's better half
to live with the old folks, and often half
dozen families will live in one house.
AS rule, the girl goes to the husbands
family.
1t would surprise many Americans who
look upon society south of the equator as
half savage to know that there are many
Montevidean women who wear evening
and visiting dresses which cost 500 apiece
and that few Of the upper ten have
single dresses in their wardrobes for
which they have paid from $500 to $1,000
in gold. Their best dresses come from
Paris, and they have the styles as soon
as New York. Our women may also be
surprised to learn that the South Amer
lean cities are among the best diamond
markets Of the world and that at great
receptions fortunes in diamonds are worn
The use Of jewels is more common in
Montevideo than in either New York or
Washington.

There was a great scandal, and Sir

CHETWYND TURF SCANDAL.
Durham refused to fight a duel, but
submitted his case to James Lowther,

directed Durham to pay Chetwynd a.
farthing damages for his SANDER, each
side to pay it's own costs-in erect

had got into trouble with greater
blackguard than himself. Chetwynd is

If one had arisen from the dead, Lon
don society could hardly be more amazed
than 1T has been by the temperance of
the beautiful Countess of Durham in her
husbands country seat. The countess
was before her marriage Miss Miner, and
the loveliest lady in England For six
teen years she had been, it was supposed,
insane.
The prominence of the Durham name
and family, the questionable character of
the earl. the scandals in which he has
been involved and the famous divorce
suit he brought against his wife because
of her alleged insanity have made this
case the most extraordinary In the check
cred annals of the British aristocracy,

BIRTH OF THE DURHAMs.
The Lambton family, whose head is the
Earl of Durham, is so old that it's be-
ginning is a fable.
In 1150 or Whereabouts the Lambton of
that day went fishing on Sunday, which
was very wicked.
He hooked a small worm which he
threw into well in disgust The worm
grew so great that it Tapped nine times
around the little mound called Worm
Hill. which is ridged and furrowed to this
day by its crawling The milk of nine
COWS was necessary daily to placate the
worm.
1.ambton swore off. He ceased Sunday
fishing, bathed in holy water, sewed a red
cross on his shoulder and started for the
Crusades. On his return he cut the worm
In pieces with his sword, but it as often
reunited, until, by the advice of a witch,
he performed the vivisection on the bank
of stream, so that the pieces of worm
fioated away and became separated
Worm Well and Worm Hill are the
sights of the place to this day.
You can see that it Is a good old fam
lily which, in the fullness Of time, pro-
duced the present Earl of Durham, with
q rent roll of 100000 per annum. That
was some forty-three years ago.
When Durham reached mans es-
tate he was the greatest catch in En-
gland. He was not Unlocking, his estate
and family were fine, and his more un-
desirable qualities had not come to gen.
eral knowledge.
Great as he was, no one suggested that
he was marrying beneath him when he
chose one of the lovely Miner sisters.
These sisters were the pride of the
