We are perched on the top Of a
msountain-one on the Shawangunk
house is all right. IN fact everything
is all right, except the Sullivan County
grub, which is extremely tryiTg 70 q
confirmed old dyspeptic like myself.
Milk galore, eggs ditto, veal ditto, etc,
ETC.; but my principal diet, beefsteak,
lives only in my memory On, Tor a
juicy p0rterhouse, or even a sirloln-
We went on a visit TO Liberty yester-
day and spent a very pleasant day
driving all around that beautiful
try and half decided to make q change
arid abide there for the balance or
time; but the poor unfortunate COM
ner. or huddled up In heavy wraps on
shady piazzas, and while the giddy and
unthinking can pass by in apparent
ignorance, ! absolutely felt as II
was knocking elbows with the grim
old spectre. Death. himself. And ever
when you don't see them, that hacklng
cough, a last gasp as it We're, echoes
from behind something or other and
your blood runs cold.
Liberty is pretty and healthy n has
many natural advantages, but it is not
pleasant to imagine for a ome that
the bed you are about to lie down IN
has been last occupied by a dead con
suimptive, and farmers are in no way
particular. If they can only see the
ornamental work on a five dollar pill
they Immediately speculate on q ng-
ures and after hat how best to trans
fer it from your pocket to theirs.
So we said good by to Liberty; and,
Incidentally. I might say that by way
of novelty we rode the thirty miles
there and back on a milk train. The
experience was rich but did uncom-
Portable.
we have several more trips or u
programme. There is a dance tonight,
a bowling contest tomorrow, baseball
and croquet every day, a hay ride last
night. a euchre party Saturday nightf
and Lord only knows what besides.
/ don't attempt to keep track Of them
If + took them all In | would go home
a darned sight more tired than when
/ came away.
SD far. / am standing the u all
right. which is red hot in the day; but
tonight, in my room, ] am writing this
with windows closed and my heavy
winter double breasted coat on. Theress
a northwester comes over the noun
tairls here that has put the BARRIERS all
out of business. 1t does not dow
through your whiskers. 1t simply
blows and there are no whiskers. The
farmers about here who wear WhiSkers
tie them In some kind of a Psyche knot
and let them own when the wind
changes.
Az; said before. everything here has
been and is delightful except the grup,
and. as there is something out OF h
way everywhere, we have decided to
make the best we oan of it. To illus
trate. there is a beautiful house about
a mile from here. everything Is first
class. the location is even better than
here: but it is known as the Old Maids
Sanifarium. They hold prayer meeting
all ,lav Sunday, and stthey do tell as
how If ycu are ketched with q smile
on your face you are confined in a
dark room or else politely requested
to yacate your room" So, you see.
we decided that it might be a case of
out Of the irving pan into the fire.
Time flies, and it costs money to try
strange houses. Besides. the willy old
filters of the soil give you a grand
meal when they have you on trial, and
when they get you, we'll
