wanted to be seen.
Having been first assistant postmas-

oughly familiar with the postoffice
building. He knew how annoying 1t
was to be held up in the corner of a
public elevator or in the corridors to
listen to the woes of a clerk, or divis-
ion chief or politician. Accordingly
he knew of the existence of means to
escape the hoi-poloi, and the method
of doing so would never have been
discovered had not an attache of his
office been careless.
A visitor waiting to see the post-
master general saw what appeared to

A Day at Long Beach

Dear Aunt Laurie: One bright
morning in September my mother woke
me up early to go for the long-prom-
ised trip to Long Beach. She got
breakfast while we children dressed
and helped prepare the lunch. By z
o'clock we all took the car to Los
Angeles and from there to the beach,
which we reached at about $50. When
we arrived we made our way to the
pier, where father rented fishing ap-
paratus.
1 had never fished before, and, as
we each had our turn, I only caught
four fish.
We then went to the merry-go-
round, where we enjoyed ourselves very
much. BY that time it was warm and
we went in the plunge for two hours
and then we ate lunch. We watched
the little children play on the sand
and wade in the water. We then
looked around and took a walk. Soon
we grew tired and started home and
reached there at about $50 o'clock,
went to bed and didn't get up until
late the next morning.
Your loving niece,
MARY GROSS.

each other close to the pole or apex.
1t is to be hoped that they will give
satisfactory proof of their statements
and put an end to future expeditions to
the frozen north.
These cause great suffering and the
loss of lives and all for what purpose?
Now that we have the pole, what are
we to do with it? What have we
gained?
Scientifically, perhaps, it may be of
some use, but what other good will it
ever do us? Affectionately,
MAUDE EDWARDS.
