likes to get up until late in the morning,
and his irregular hours sometimes vex his
active, sunny little wife, who is fond of
regularity.
along one of the streets of "Kipling's viii
lage." you would mistake the man every
time. AS he walks he sometimes tries to
hum a tune, but he has little perception
of melody and, as one of his friends says,
when Kipling tries to sing he buzzes."
The kfpling Children.
The two Kipling children are thin. nerv-
Gus little bodies with restless, piercing
black eyes. They do not care much for
other children. When their sister was
alive, the three "fiocked by themselves"
so TO speak, and managed to get their
share of amusement and pleasure, even
though somewhat exclusive. In features
they resemble their mother more than their
father although the Kipling part of the
family is very perceptble, especially in
their Shyness when. strangers are present
Occasionally you may see Kipling walk
ing along the cliff looking a the water
nearly a hundred feet below, or sitting
on the turf at the edge of the precipice
But this is only occasionally. He cares
little about driving, and will not exert
himself TO ride a bicycle. The limit of
his walk is generally The Black Horse
Tavern"
1t and its landlord are much in favor
with Kipling. Sometimes of an evening in
winter one will find the author and the
landlord and possibly Noank in the cosy
dining room before the big, glowing fire
each with his glass and pipe. The land
lord does the most of the talking, and
his guests the most of the listening. The
subjects cover a decidedly wide range, but
usually end in a discussion of politics. The
landlord is an extreme radical, while Kip
ling leans to the conservative side. They
will get into an argument Of half an hour.

amount Of grading would be necessary TO
place it on proper grade. The avenue
