Soon she returned, and handing the

TALE OF YACHTING CRUISE
How a Hostess Arranged Breakdown
and Got Rid Of Her Bored
Quests.

A few seasons back a well-known
hostess chartered a splendid yacht for
August and invited a large number OF
her friends for three-week cruise. Al
first all went well, though the party
was not specially well assorted; but
after few days they began to evince
signs of being somewhat bored with
each others company.
The hostess marked these siRns OF
inctpient boredom, which became more
plainly evident each day, and ut last IN
despair she took counsel with ona NJ
her guests. an old and experienced
yachtsman.
What on earth shall I do to amuse
these peopleT she asked.
The yachtsman looked at the sersne
sky and calm, blue water, and shoot
his head doubtfully.
"A storm would snliven them nm :.
BIT" he said. but the weather looks
quite settled. There IL only one thing
70 be done. You must arrange n break
down. the engineer will manage th.,
all right for you. He has probably
often done so before. Then you must
make for the nearest port for repairs
and let your guests have q run ashore
some OF them, I expect, will flnd an
excuse Tor bidding you sood.by ana
those who remain with you win ne,
along all right together"
The hostess took her guests advice

her good-by.-M. A.P. '

"The prospect of a. settlement of the

be reached unless it is conceded.
To us the outlook is not anyway
gloomy This may be due to a rather

believe in encouraging or fomenting

working for an. intelligent solution of any
difficulty confronting. ] believe in always
being prepared for the worst.
