Just a Sunday Outing Party.

Mayor of Ramblersyille," and his
word on matters pertaining to naviga-
ton of the creek and bridge etiquette
is law.
Mayor Gertlinger is one of the at
fractions and fixtures of Ramblers.
Vile. BY way of collecting toll he has
a cash box posted on the bridge and
passengers going to and fro make
whatever contribution they desire. On
opening his box following busy Sun
day last summer the mayor found that
somebody had perpetrated joke by
placing several Brooklyn bridge tickets
in the box. The mayor considered this
a slight on his bridge and gave the
colony fair warning the next Sunday
that If any attempt was made to re-
peat the slight he would maroon the
crowd on the opposite shore at train
time by keeping his bridge open. Since
then no further tricks have been at
tempted on his honor.
Fanciful names are painted on diff
ferent houses. The Alhambra is a
modest one-story structure Then
there is the Silver King, Paramount
Ramblersyille, Frolics and the home
of the key Boat Builders. Pops
Home is where the mayor resides,
and he is surrounded by the Trilby
Beat club, the Meadow View. the Ten
ny Boat club, Live Oak, Richmond,
! Fuchs-Bau, Jacks House, Iolanthe, the
Lone Star Boat club, jolly Boys, Live
Oak Viola, Savoy, Atlas, Uncle Sam
and Uncle Toms Cabin.

courts, the greater city came into pos

apparently rickety buildings, content
ed and happy, and settle down to
spend the summer. Many of the
houses are owned by two or more fam
flies and they either take turns week
about of staying at Ramblersville or
they all find accommodations within
the narrow limits. 1t speaks well for
the community that the families thus
bunking together are just as good
friends at the closing as they were at
the opening of the season. In the fall
they leave their summer homes with
regret and eagerly look forward to a
reunion in the coming year.
Just now Ramblersyille is undergo.
ing the usual spring overhauling.
Most of this work Is done on Sundays
by the owners, who are occupied with
their business or work during the
week. Families are already beginning
to take up their abode in the deserted
houses and the creek is resounding
with the soft voices of women and
shouts of childish laughter,
High tide from the bay sweeps the
salt meadows on which this quaint
cluster of houses stands. Waters
surge back and forth under the floors,
tapping the piles. When the tide re-
cedes it leaves field of wet meadow
grass and soft ooze, SO that at low
tide all communication from one house
to another is either by boat or the
narrow, raised footwalks that zigzag
from the rear of one house to another,
This isolation is one of the charms of
the place. Instead of locking their
doors to cut off communication with
next-door neighbor all that is neces-
sary rs for the occupants of the houses
to take in the sidewalk. Then they
are free from intrusion, at least by
| land.
On the water it is different. Won
en- and even children go calling in
boats, of which there are several
fleets of big and little erowding both
banks of the creek. What is more,
the women handle the boats them.

And it is probably one of the happiest
and most harmonious communities in
the greater city.
This novel community has been
fourteen years in building and getting
together. Oscar Rust was the pIo-
neer. He planted small fishing sta
ton on the creek, and now the name
of the station appears on the railroad
time table and trains stop at the little
platform station on their way to and
from Long Island City. Years ago the
community grew up to the railroad
track, where it was halted. Now the
place can only grow one way and that
is down the creek toward the bay, and
the tail end of the village is now be.
ing heightened by the erection of a
dozen or more new houses.
Building regulations are unknown
along the creek and no regular style
of architecture was attempted. In
stead, the conglomeration of boat
houses, fishing clubs and summer
homes are thrown together in happy
confusion. Viewed from distance II
seems as if the entire three hundred
houses were thrown out along either
side of the creek in hit or miss fash

The Brlxton jackdaw, which was
found dead recently in the bar of the
Angel Arms at Brixton, London, was
great celebrity in his own way. All
jackdaws have fads of their own, and
the fayorite fad of this particular bird
was to travel all over London on omni-
buses, trains and cabs. He was thor
oughly well known to every 'busman
in the Brixton district; he used to
take his seat on bus beside the
driver, and would chatter most volu-
bly, till the journey to the city or else
where was accomplished, when he
would fly back to his Brixton home.
He was bird of strorg likes and dis
likes. and when any of his masters
customers failed to find favor In his
sight he would assail them with the
most embarrassing flow of language.
