Frank Daniels. D-ury Underwood and
Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Hapgood Burt
all went down to Douglas manor, L. !.
Sunday to a clambase rendered them
by MIR and Mrs, Mason Peters and
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Williams.
II was real old fashioned Long
Island bake. Not one OF your gas
range bakes. but a genuine one. with
spring chicken and green corn and
sweet potatoes and seawood and hot
stones and tarr aul'n cover and all
that o. this elambake was right or
1t wasn't any.
Now, don't eat anything until you
get at the clans" said Mr.. and Mrs.
Peters.
Yes. save a little cozy corner for
the clans" urged Mr. and Mrs. Will
liams.
So the guests obeyed orders. They
arose early in the morning and toyed
with rowing machines and health lifts
and other such laborious inventions to
get up an appetite. and then abstained
from food 10 be sure that hunger
would be whore they could lay their
hand on II when the bell rang down
at Douglas manor.
Were you ever at a clambake, An
drew" ked Mr. Underwood
NO. not a real one" said Andrew.
as he held his head back and let his
teeth water. Il went to a bluefish
breakfast at Peterses once. l didn't
eat for "a hours. to be sure I'd be in
trim for 1t. Then Mason took me four
miles out to sea at the gray early
morning. rowed the boat. We went
TO catch the fish. We didn't get a
bite. No, I've never been at a real
clambake, but ! was at that bluefish
breakfast. l forgot to say that l rowed
those four miles back on the deep
blue sea, too"
Down at Douglas manor everything
had the hustle Of preparations. The
spring chickens had all been sprung,
the green corn was on hand the sweet
potatoes and the seaweed and the
tarpaulin and the other things were
there 1t was time to get the clans.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peters and Mr.. and
Mrs. Williams got In the auto and
went down the beach to the mud flats
They were going to dig the clans
themselves, SO as to be sure they
would be fresh
They worked away in the mud for q
couple OF hours while the tide was out
and gathered about bushel or more
Then a big sunburned native came up
and wanted to know whose clans they
were digging.
"Anybody's." said Mr.. Peters.
Not much; they're mine." said the
native, and he produced a deed to
show he owned the mud fiat. He
would not sell CLAIMS. He wanted his
CLAIMS. He took the basket and scat
tered the bivalves far and wide. Then
he ordered the trespassers on his
ground.
BY this time the tide was in again
and there was no more clam digging
for the day. There was no real Rhode
Island clambake. There was an ach-
Ing void in several empty stomachs.
Andrew Mack went around behind the
house and kicked himself.
"Stung again" he said. Another
bluefish breakfast"
1t was a sad party which drifted
back to little old New York tha:
night.
Were you ever at clambake?
asked Mr.. Underwood.
Not yet" replied Mr. Mack.-New

BAD Novels.

Novels have deteriorated lamenta-
bly,. the paying book now being either
the wildly sensational or the insidious-
ly wicked; incidents that formerly
we're named with bated breath being
openly written of and blazoned
abroad. for gain Of gold, and too often
by women. 1t Is difficult to flnd a
plain intellectual meal served by the
moderns, who furnish US with little
but cayenne pepper, poisonously
spiced oysters and Gorgonzola cheese
"A literary dinner the memory of
which as has been we'll said. serves
NO end but to leave q dark-brown
taste in the mouth.

Italian Villa Habit,

1t is impossible for the Italians to
get away from their villa habit. In
Italy every little shanty you meet on
the roadside Is villa something or
other. the smaller the shanty the
longer the name. Down in Grand
street you come across the grandiose
names of Villa Penza, Villa Gordiolo.
Villa Macaroni above the measliest of
small places. where they dish you up
spaghetti for the sum of ten cents
with small glass Of wine for five.
