blue sky above was rivalled by the opaline tints on the water
 We were at grand old MarbIehead while the eastern boat races were on. l Old Marblehead- with her rocks and islands, bays, coves and inlets. her mar row and crooked streets without side walks; her old town house built in I727. We listened to conversations about the old lore story of Agnes Durriage and Lord Franklind. It was at the old Fountain Inn where the wealthy and elegant English nObleman first saw Agnes as she was scrubbing the floors. He educated and afterward married the handsome girl There is still about this place the atmosphere of the old fishermen and their nets. The ferry takes you across the bay to Marble head neck, a summer resort full of pretty and up-to-date summer cot tages in vivid contrast to the primitive and picturesque old town.
 Last, but none the less interesting. I must tell of my trip with my cousin to fashionable Newport. I will pass over the beautiful hotel at which we stopped. the new cliff house with it's rich antique collection and splendid table. I will only mention the ten- mile ocean drive with it's wealth of beauty on land and sea. An English man who has visited all the seashore places of the world says that the three mile cliff walk at Newport is without equal. I confess to weakness when I dwell on what I saw on the beautiful avenue drive in the late afternoon when the millionaires were out on parade. The season was at its height and the rich New Workers had opened their handsome homes. On each side of the avenue were the magnificent mansions of the Astors, Vanderbilts, Belmonts and dozens of New YOrk's famous society leaders. It was tre- mendOus, this display of wealth in homes and liveried equipages and handsome gowns and millinery. I asked Cousin Kate if she cared if I stared as we drove in our carriage for I had never seen such sight before and might never again. I wanted to get ideas and I did get one for those in PhOenix interested in the ostrich busi- ness. The large and gorgeous hats worn by these leaders of gay fashion were a mass of ostrich plumes. I have attended the horse show in Chicago, and St. Louis but never horses and equipages like these. I came home de- lighted but prefering the simple life. There are some things the poor may have that money cannot buy-friend- ship love and happiness.
 We still have hot and sultry days and plenty of rain. I have not seen a Phoenix paper for three weeks but let ters have told of some of the happen ings there. My cousins introduce me always as from Phoenix. Arizona. find the young men and old interested in the town and its welfare and all seem in sympathy with the people in their fight for statehood.
 I made a mistake to have come so far without having seen the Grand Canyon and the big Tonto basin. The wealth and business interests of Attle- bOrO and North AttleborO are centered in their large factories for the making of jewelry. The factories. surround ings and employees are SO different from the mill towns. To work in the gold and. stone cutting those employed must be very intelligent. of good eyesight and we'll trained hands. So the class of wOrkmen is of a much higher stan dard than that of the mills. There seems to be no really poor people in AttlebOro.
