Ii.-DedT Aunt OdTIlt. lOuT WelCOue
letter has just come, and will answer
it at once, as don't seem to have CIV
en- you very correct description of this
place In my first letter. We had just ar
rived then, and first impressions are apt
to be superficial. At any rate mine were,
for was awfully mistaken in this place,
and your lovely long letter made me
realize 1t. l am so homesick that can
hardly stand it to hear about the good
times you are having there when it is
so deadly dull here. How did Maude
Roses cousin that young Mr.. Waldren,
happen to come west again this sum-
mer? He told me at the holidays that
he was going abroad for this vacation.
The lawn fete must have been delight
full; wish could have been there for
there is no amusement of any kind here.
suppose he simply had to take May
Bliss because everybody else was out of
town. Oh, it is so dull here! 1t is too
cold to battle and the golf links are too
rough to play on. and the rowing is no
good-the boats all leak-and the noun
tains are so steep you can't take walks,
and there Is nobody to go with you
if they weren't. for the people in the
house are the stupidest set l ever saw;
they are perfectly horrid.
Did May Bliss wear her blue silk NOUS
seine at the lawn fete? | suppose she
was dressed to death. It is too cold to
promenade on the veranda and there Is
nobody to dance with inside-even if
,, ,cto II irrnt
well not have any pretty things. Did
he tell you how long he was going to
stay-Mr. Waldron. l mean?
| thought l ought to tell you that we
weren't having a good time for it is
pity for all our clothes and the money
to be wasted, and we are just as CRATE
full to you. but we would so much rather
be at home with you and our friends in
town. My throat feels the dampness
already, and If l get a cold now shall
not be able to sing again all summer.
Helen is writing to you on the other
side of the table. She doesn't seem to
mind the badness Of things as much as
do, but then she is always so well and
she has picked up some acquaintances.
The table here is so poor that am afraid
we shall get typhoid fever if we stay
any longer-or rheumatism. And
Helen is simply reckless about climb
ing over the rocks man fell off the
bluff once and was killed He was
drunk. But it is not safe, and she
doesn't mind the leaky boats, either.
| guess you had better telegraph Be
sure to tell 1.-The crowd" that we are COM
ing. l will pack at once, so as to start
as soon as the message comes.
l shall see you so soon that close abb
ruptly,
Your loving niece,
JOSEPHINE.

27.-Dearest Darling Auntie: Joseph
inc has come down to answer your let
ter at once and | will send a note with
hers, though we are having such glo-
rious good time that there doesn't seem
to be a minute for writing all day long
So will only take time, you best Of
aunties, to thank you for sending us
to this heavenly place The weather is
superb, so cool and bright; the scenery
is grander than anything ever dreamed
of-the mountains are magnificent.
There are the most charming people
here. Mrs Brown found family from
the south named Gordon, who are old
friends of hers-the loveliest people
ever met. Mrs. Gordon is so good to
us, for she is our chaperon whenever
Mrs. Brown has a headache-and she
has headache good deal. Mrs. Gordon
has two daughters who are Just as sweet
and dear as she is; they are coming to
visit US at Christmas, and you will just
love them. There is a son, too. never
saw such beautiful. romantic walks as
these mountain trails; | don't believe
one could ever get over the steep places
alone. The little lake is so quiet that
the boating is perfectly delightful-espe
oially by moonlight. | surely never
saw such moonlight as there was last
night Mrs. Gordon and the girls
thought it was too chilly to go out and
Josephine was afraid of getting sore
throat-but 1t was too lovely to miss.
The long veranda makes a splendid
promenade and the dancing is great |
never enjoyed golf so much before; II
is a lot more fun when the links are
rough. The Gordons take me driving
a great deal, and we have fine times
10 doesn't care for driving-I think she
is little afraid-but she is missing a
lot. We had a lovely sail yesterday
while the rest had gone to the Indian
village. Dear auntie, | knew you ex.
pected us to stay month, but if you
could see the worlds of good it is doing
us you would tell us to stay till the house
closes in September. You ought to
see what appetites we have-and the
table is lovely! Come and see for your
self what beautiful spot it is. You
| will enjoy IL, for II is so lively: there
