Your letter is great treat, Esther. 1t
is good thing to keep the Imagination in
use. II some OF us get our only vacations
in the line of trip to the berry pasture,
following your example, we can find much
pleasure there. Let us have some more Of
your '.thoughts" whenever you can find
time to write.
1t has just come to me that we might
have little reunion field day at the Blue
hill mineral spring.
Dear Aunt Madqe:
have not the regular stationery, but per-
haps letter Of some kind Will be welcome.
I find myself on Cape Cod since one week yes
terday. at North Eastman, in an old colonial
mansion called the Collins homestead. Mrs.
c. and i have four children with us-two
nieces and two nephews of hers. They are de-
lightfui children, and help to make the visit
pleasant indeed. There are also kind neigh
bors who make our vacation interesting and

characters. Well, much here is old but il is

The style of carriage in which one rides
here is not worried over-anything from a
surrey TO a big blue horse cart. The thing
most deplore is the utter absence Of flowers
The roses and lilacs, which we're very beauti-
full in their season, are gone, and only old
maids pinks are left. They grow freely and
are sweet. About mile away see the three
towers of Nauset lights. At night their lamps
shine out like three stars of Bethlehem i
think there is nothing more cheering than
the lights along the shore, which ne'er grow
dim.
