We eat with relish born of Hunts
Vile air and water and at 7:15 start out
Tor leisurely walk to school.
Monte Sano looks so lovely in the
soft blue veil with which morning so
often Grapes it, we feel almost sorry
our destination lies in the opposite d.
rection. Past yards filed with many
varieties of exquisite roses, masses of
Snowy chrysanthemums and the beau
tlful pink and white cosmos, holly-trees
where the berries are beginning to
redden in the autumn sun and magno-
las whose brilliant seeds are bursting
from their cones among the glossy
leaves, we follow East Clinton street
to the slightly public-school grounds
and then cross over to Eustis street or
maiden Lane'' turning upon this
street just where Prof. Buffers pretty
cottage peeps out from its vine-em-
powered porches. 'All roads lead to
our Rome" but this is the favorite one
for it affords US charming bits of seen
cry that SAVIOR of the country. On our
left is an old-time, white, brick man
sion standing away back from the
street with a long, long walk leading
in terraces down to the gateway.
Patriarchal trees, the deep, dark green
OF pines, naples in scarlet, oaks where
crimson banners are daily appearing
adorn the roomy grounds and a very
honey" look is given to the place by
a flock of turkeys whose leader pro-
tests with loud gobble! gobble! COB
ble at sight of Josephine's red hat.
On our right is a fine red brick house
with extensive grounds where are the
osage-orange, walnut, cedar and null
berry trees with two magnificent weep
ing willows guarding the driveway.
Next, we pass the ''seminary" big
rambling building quite like castle
with its parapets and towers and after
this a typical southern mansion of
colonial style, its porches supported by
immense white pillars and servants
quarters detached as indeed are those
of all these old-time homes.
A tiny bantam rooster strutting
proudly about in one yard throws back
his head and crows in such small-voiced
defiance of the big brahma just over
the fence. We cannot help laughing
as his little majesty, beautiful, green
parrot whose usual perch is on small
tree just inside gateway greets US
with ''Halloa, Polly" and a flock OF
snowy pigeons sit pruning their feath-
ers in the sunshine on the roof of a
barn close by.
And now we turn on Lincoln street
and begin to climb the hill leading to
our school house. On our right is a.
fine modern red brick dwelling, next
the picturesque old church which we
attend, at the left a rocky lane curves
to the rear of large gray mansion
with couchant lions guarding the en-
trance, then comes another fine brick
dwelling painted snowy-white with
green vines running. in wild profusion
across its porches, and at one corner a
woodbine twines, it's leaves now turn
ing scarlet in brilliant contrast to the
pure white background.
Next is our building, large two
story structure of brick veneered with
stucco, windows in the Gothic style of
architecture and flight of six massive
stone steps leading up to the door
which in common with all the windows
is enclosed with green blinds. In the
gable the interlacement of three TRAN
giles forms nine-pointed star and be-
low this appears the name of the build
ing, ''Eunomia Hall'' and the date
"AAANA 10 SAVou DIS lOllOWS.
''IOODCCCXXIII'
Can you study this out, little friends?
The building was formerly the syna-
gogue of the Jewish society but they
have fine new place of worship and
this is now occupied by the Masonic
fraternity and ourselves. It is an ideal
place for schools, the grounds are
roomy and we'll shaded by the locust,
the mulberry, the cedar, the Usage
orange and beautiful elm-tree and at
the rear is rocky ravine overgrown
with little wilderness of trees fes-
TONED with the wild grape, the wood
bine and other graceful vines, many of
them with foliage still green, though
some leaves have fallen leaving visible
