HOW SOME WOMEN AT SHELTER ISLAND
EMPLOY THEIR VACATIONS
There are twenty-five women belonging TO the
summer colony at Shelter Island who, believing
thar rest is not quitting Hfe's busy sphere, have
formed themselves into the Summer Study Club,
with no end of pleasure and profit to themselves
'''It really all started out of a wish on the FART
of a few to learn more about the country around
us and of the trees and birds that add so much to
the pleasure of our summer home" explained the
founder and president of the club. Mrs John l.

for our first meeting. and in the two seasons We
have been in existence have found all material
we needed to study in neighboraood- Our
programmes included. first, short preparation Tor
the right kind of study, then little OF the
history of Shelter Island. Next we looked INTO tne
history of the towns of Eastern Long Island and
studied about some of the most picturesque points
From that we began to interest ourselves IN tne
insects on our island. then the salt water moluskS
and the seaweeds This led naturally TO the
nature of tides and then studied the trees on
the island

The third meeting of the Funny incidents OF FOR

that it was no honor be president of an organ
ization which didn't live up to its constitution
and In which the members were eternally Wrahs-
ling 1t was quite true that several had evaded
paving fines VIXEN any rightminded person knew
they should be fined. and altogether an air OF
gloom seemed to prevail when she had hoped sun
shine and mirth would be their portion Really
one didn't know what was best to be done.
Edith said they would better hold at least two
more meetings as there only 81 % in the treas
ury and it would take g to buy cream and cakes
enough to celebrate disarmament So wiser coun-
sells prevailed and the members voted that Edith
tell the story day; since she was so anxious
to have the club continue. let her amuse them

temperance members sure to object 10 H.

warning for the innocent and unwary and all
that sort of thing!'
As she paused the temperance members con-
suited and then urged her to proceed; they hoped
they broad enough to be willing that those
not sharing their beliefs should have chance to
talk even if the subject matter proved dstasteful
to then-they couldn't promise to laugh under all
circumstances but they would promise to listen
respectfully.

ten to his rosy dream of the working
mans coming Utopia. His PROPOSE
ton to bring about the economic evo-

the same financial plane with the cap
italist, by giving to the former the
railroads and machinery that pro-
duce wealth and that are now owned
by the latter, is very simple and quite
practicable-to Mr.. Debs; but would
it not be just as"well to transfer the

the money instead of the machinery;
the dimes, instead of the derricks:
the rocks, in place of the railroads?
