which she declares to be mot a swifs
means of locomotion, but safe and COOL
for the liver" and adds: "The drive
from the dock is the most beautiful
l have ever seen; following the shore
line is an avenue covered and shaded
by immense cocoanut palms and he

natives were without garments, save
from their hips down, the women wear

She describes the passage through
the San Bernardino straits, through
reputed to be a dangerous one, as
very delightful-mountains as large as
the Alleghenies sloping up from the
waters edge and green to their very
tops. They wound in and out among
the islands a day and a half, and so
close to land that they could distin-
guish natives on the shore.
Like most others, she finds life in
Manila very fascinating, but admits
that her first Introduction to a native
bed was not calculated to make them
lifelong friends. 1t has a cane-seat bot
tom, where springs usually set; on
that is spread a thin pad and then a
straw mat, or n made of palm leaves,
upon which is laid the usual sheets,
etc. She says the civil government peo-
pie would like to have the entire army
evacuate the islands, but that, in her
opinion, the army will be needed for
some time, and cites in that connection
the fact that the priests take the school
boys from the Luneta before THE Star
Spangled Banner" is played, which is
done at the close of every concert, and
that the Spanish native element also
leaves.

up against the California ripe olive.
Ever a them? You can hardly get
them here because they won't stand
shipment. And they're mighty good.
Most real olive eaters prefer them
to the ordinary green picked olive.
The ripe olives are picked also, you
understand, and come out of the brine

after you have eaten and approved,
they will lead you on by remarking:
"'Well, if you like them that way
you'll like them better fresh. Just
stroll out to the orchard with me and

Then they will lead you out to one
of their long lanes of olive trees. l
pause to remark that you don't know
what olive green and olive brown
mean until you've seen those colors in
that slim, graceful little tree.
There arc the fresh olives all right,
hanging among the gray leaves and
looking mighty tempting. You pick
one with the confidence of the easy
mark and bite into it.
"Whew! Bitter? l can taste it yet.
It's ali the q%uinine and rhubarb and
NORWOOD in the world, combined in a
nasty, haunting bitterness that hangs

Two Kitchen Comforts.

I find my two best kitchen friends
are a high stool and a camp chair;

and rests the feet when employed in
the ceaSeless round of washing

peel potatoes or apples, while find
it a great pleasure to sit in my camp
chair and lean back. II is very light
and can be easily lifted to the handi-
est place in the kitchen or carried to
the open air. Then, again, l sit in my
camp chair by my blue flame when
frying fritters or doing the many
