Capitol Island Me. July 31-(Spec-
iaD.-Capitol now has it's full share of
summer visitors that are spending a.
pleasant season there. July had its
usual numbers but many have waited
Tor vacations in August. Next month
is expected to be one of the Eayest
that this resort ever experienced. AL
most every available room and cottage
has been engaged and all previous rec
ords for numbers will probably be
broken.
One Of the jolly events of the season
was an ice cream social which was held
at Pine Wood Camp last Thursday eve
ming Most of the islanders attended
and an excellent time was enjoyed. Tho
three young men, Guy Oliphant and
Laurence Oliphant of Trenton, n. j..
and f. Gray Waggct of Mclrose,
Mass, who conduct the camp were
tastcfully attired in feminine costumes
and gracefully served their many
patrons. The camp illuminated with
Japanese lanterns in the evening made
a charming effect. Candy and souve-
Mrs of the island were on sale. A
good natured fortune teller predicted
happy and prosperous lives for the
guests.
Vespcr services are now regularly
conducted at Capitol each Sunday. The
Cove is the place where the service is
held under the rays of the setting sun
when the weather is fair and when it
is stormy the islanders gather. at the
