artistic tastes with the fortunesI
that are accumulating from their
transactions with the thirteen.
This is all in the life of a land
lubber, but take us to sea, let us
splash and paddle on the beach in
our dim inutive bathing costumes,
and in aquatic tricks we can beat
the butcher and baker. We can
swallow water gracefully, acknow-.
ledge introductions with charms
ing buoyancy chat comes from not
being sure of our footing, tread
water, float and even swim like a
lot of golden and brown haired
mermaids.
The bathing here is not very
pleasant because of the rocks on
the beach, but we make Sandy
Beach, a mile away, our swim
ming hole, and we steam up there
in gasoline launch, with a man
or three to make things merry,
and we sail up in sloop or schoon-
er with Mike, who has been our
spiritual adviser since Marshall
Harrington left, to instruct us in
nautical phrasoiogy. Mike will
have us coming home jolly tars,
jib and main sail flying, but finan-
cial sails suffering the hard lee of
summer-outfng circumstances
Our lake trips have been very
delightful. We spent our first
Saturday at Cedar Point with Mr.,
and Mrs. Harry Ambrose and Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Blasius. That
launch party also included Frank
Brooke, Walter Price and Mr.. and
Mrs. Glenn Hoke of Van Vert, who
are well known among Logan peo-
pie. The bathing beach at the
Point is the finest on any inland
water, and we dug our toes in its
sand and padded in it's water un
til we grew fins and gills. At the
hotel we dined as eighteen Logar
people, and when we looked ur
and down that long table ant
noted the wit and beauty W,
thought of the lovely, deserted
town in the Hooking Valley, where
social life was suffering temper
ary somniferous paralysis.
| We had another banquet of sum
mering Mingoites at Putin Bay
last Wednesday. This lake triI
took US to Kelley's Island where
we inspected the glacial grooves
then to Middle BASE where W,
visited the Wherle Wine Cellar
and slot machine that one youns
lady manipulated for quarter
and finally left us at Put-in-Ba,
for the afternoon. Here we hat
dinner, spending the later hour
in Perry's, Daussa's and Crysta
Caves, three interesting under
ground cavities showing strontiun
crystals, and stalactite and stalag
mite formations. At the Victor,
we saw the Columbus Rifles depar
for their camp in Buffalo and w
are confident that they saw us
With our party were Mr.. and Mrs
Ambrose, who were Lakeside visit
ors for two days, and other wise
and older heads that discreatl,
managed to keep us in proper trim
Mike says trim, so you see we ar
learning.
Marblehead, about mile east
has been another scene for Ou
tourist eye, and here we hav,
watched the drill at the Life Saw
ing Station and examined the per
fectly regulated home of these U
S. officers. We did it in our origi
nal and unconventional manner
rushing through the open from
door, qulzzing the man on duty
whom we dragged about, for h
seemed unwilling and cold abou
giving his information, and whel
we finally made our exist, to hi
great relief, we read over the doc
the excuse for his apparent frigid
ity, this simple inscription, "Nc
Admittance.''
1t must be the tan that has mad,
us bold, for we get deeper tin
every day, and an artist would be
come exhausted in attempting tt
find names for all the beautiful
shades that are arrayed on oul
hands and faces, shades in red
russell red, and deep bronze, In
