The first day was grand and all felt
happy, and on that evening we called
the party together for a social to get
mutually introduced, which was a very
enjoyable affair.
The second day, though clear above,
was rough on the briny deep, so as to
oblige many to involuntarily contrib
ute so much and so often to Father
Neptunei
The third day we entered clouds and
fog, and the sun hid its warm face per-
sistently for several days, causing
great discomfort and even some alarm
and distressing results to those who
were unable to prove themselves to
be good sailors. For hours at a time
the monotonous foghorn rasped our
nerves by day and night, preventing
sleep and disturbing converse ton and
games even of those who were not
punished by Father Neptune. We were
in constant communication with shore
or passing steamers by the wonderful
yet simple Marconi system of wire
less telegraphy. Mr.. Penrose. the op-
orator, made himself a great favorite
with the passengers, as also the chief
engineer; both very affable and cour-
teous and intelligent, also full of wit
and fun and frolic. There was a great

but of course. a woman who does her
own homework simply has to borrow
now and then.
"A few days ago I needed an extra
saucepan, and I ran over to Mrs.
Gooseworthy's to get one. Everybody
knows that Mrs. Gooseworthy is the
worst borrower in this town.
"Ier husband is just as bad as she
is. Mr. Witherspoon used to have a
valuable watchdog he priced above
everything, and Mr.. Gooseworthy even
borrowed that, saying that he had. a
lot of money in the house one night
and was afraid of burglars. He put
the dog in the cellar. where his wife
had left n lot of poisoned meat to kill
rats, and in the morning the dog was
dead. MT. Gooseworthy came over
and told my husband about it, seeming
to think a great joke.
MIR. Witherspoon hit him and they
fought all over the yard for an hour,
and broke down my clothesline and
trampted the clothes, and they spoil
ed all the grapevines and currant
bushes and just ruined my bed of as
paragus. And Mrs. Gooseworthy teIe-
phoned for the police, and an officer
came and arrested Mr.. Witherspoon
just as if he were to blame and it
cost him $14.
I'VE didn't speak for a long time
after that, but finally Mrs. Goosewor-
thy began her borrowing again. She
had borrowed so much at our place
that I naturally went to her when I
needed a saucepan, and she let me
have it cheerfully enough. When L
went home I didn't need to use it for
an hour or so and then when L poured

WHY THE PRICE OF BUTTER is
HIGH.

It is claimed that butter has not
held SO high in price through any
summer since the civil war as during
the summer of 1910.
More butter has been made TINS sea-
son than last. We are informed that
the amount of butter stored IN the
metropolitan district is S3,S2o,oOo
pounds That is about 100000
pounds more than a year ago. Fat
receipts of butter have been oasry ABOUT
5000 600 pounds more than last year
at the corresponding time. 1t follows
that 1000, 600 pounds more have aesn
withheld from consumers by the New
York warehouses alone, in order that
it might be stored.
Presumably conditions are similar
wherever there are cold storIse
houses
There is no way to prevent this sys-
TEN of carrying large stocks of but
ter and the only way in which it can
be regulated is by the passage of laws
which will place a limit to the time
that butter can be stored away and
kept from the market.

will surely be found.
