A Passing Type, and What Has Caused
II.

The life Of hmany of the small towns
along the Maine coast was for many
years very closely identified with tn,
fortunes Of the sea. There was a tim,
when from these isolated communities
a small army Of men went out eaci
year to earn living at sea, and cacf
village had its sailors fishermen, skip
pcrs and sea captains. Scarcely q
home in many of them which had not

band or son who had gone to sea-

were accessible only BY slow ana tcdi-
Gus stages, ana the coastwisc steamers
sailed indiiferently by, the smallest
ana most remote coast village had an
outlook seaward, and SAW beyond It's
borders, even TO the uttermost parts of
the earth.
Among the interesting types that
were once common in these towns is
the old time sea captain, the master of
IL ueep-Sea sailing vessel.
In my early days along the Maine
coast the greater number of those
Ca ns." as they were called, had al
ready given up the sea, and lived in
the dignity and state accorded to a
retired sea captain" For swift
steam had outstripped the tagging
sails of the great vessels which had
been so long the pride of the men who
commanded them, as

meant the passing of the old time sea
captain, who had been for so long a
striking and picturesque figure in the
Maine coast villages. For the sea
captain usually chung to his native
town or to that of his boyhoods adop-
ton. Men who had left the. place 10

came back to make their homes there
But the sea captain made his head
quarters In his own town and when he
grew too old to follow the sea or when
the owners of his vessel could no long

lived out his days in prosperity and
good cheer. And in some towns re-
tired sea captains formed no inconsid-

certain towns it used to be said, "Cali
every man you meet cap'n. Then you
won't run the risk of offending any
body, and you won't make many mis-
takes" And they were very good
towns to live ir. too.
No one who knows what manner of
man the old time sea captain was, can
fail to understand how much he gave
to the life of the community. In those

Newly married couples are special
friends of mine. One of the most thor.

WAS for It young couple who belonged
to two wull-knoWn New York families.
The bridegroom wanted to have 4 home
all ready for his bride, but didn't want
amy one save her to know about it,
They would ostrnsibly 20 on the re-
gnIation wedding tour but iG reality
would 80 to their own country honr
for their honeymoon. He wanted to
know if ! could put the scheme through.

army of workers aud made Things hum

excellent servants was on hand.

train. The chef had a delicious dinner
prepared. The butler was in his place.
THE new ma gazineS were on the
library table. In the brides room her
dressing gown was warming before the
fire, and her slippers were waiting be-
fore it. The bell rang The servant
flew to the door. The bride and bride

and came back to town.
"Cratcf Well, | never knew two

great house in order, and took an
electrician, an upholsterer and other
wOrlimcn with me.
This is busy season for household
managers. Families are beginning to
thinkof getting gaway. Many of my pa
irons are already going to Europe and
turning their houses over to me.
zone very wealthy woman decided to
sell her big town house, take a Fifth
avenue apartment and spend most of
her time at her country place. The
whole house; in which she had lived for
thirty years had to be denuded.
She took me through it and pointed
out which articles We're to go to the
country pla aces which to the apartment
house and which to the storage. I
made notes and then she went away.
She took no further care. / had every
thing packed, moved and installed
even to the entire woodwork of one
small room which she wanted transfer

sentiment.
"Of course, the furnishing of servants
is an important part of the business.
A household manager doesn't pretend
to run an employment agency, but she
must have such a staff of servants on
her list that she can always put her
hand on the right one to fill any place
