Don't get the idea that I've got any warfare with these part of -the-year guests. I like 'em when they're here,- when the lawns are chattering with playing children and white capped nurses,-when the stables are filled with stamping, champing horses,- when the big houses are alight with life and the roads gay with tony equipments.
 It's when they're away.-when the houses are shut up and the chimneys cold,-When the lawns are Uttered with unraked leaves and the stables pad locked on smelly emptiness,-when neglected abandonment takes the place of cheery, busy occupation,-it's then that I begin to get grouchy.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-11-23

All these houses and dozen others, whose history l could tell you if it were worth while and you were in terested in them, have passed within a fortnight. All shut up, empty, blinded and shuttered; to my country eyes, the very saddest sights in the whole gray autumn landscape
 l know and respect the present own CTS of every one of these places. They are all exceedingly pleasant neighbors and l am convinced are thoroughly wellmeaning, with a certain real af- lection for their summer camping places. Most of them have a genuine desire to "help out'' in what they see are the hard and strenuous conditions of rural life. They not only want to enjoy their own lives, they honestly want to be of service to their neigh bors and the world.

Then there's the old Prince place. A fine farm it is too, lying tenderly titled towards the warm south across the slopes of a gentle hillside: admira- bly, suited for cultivation, naturally ca pablo if producing almost anything in the way of crops. The present owners come up from town when their chil- dren's schools close, and hurry pack in time for the schools reopening. They Hay themselves out on" lawns and flower parterres ana arbUrs and pergolas and garages. They have a farmer who is supposed to work the farm,-after the city merchants ideas when said city merchant is on deck, according to his own Whims when said owner is away.

Not far away stands the one time Burlinghame manor. It used to be the capitol of a busy stock farm. Now it Is in the hands of a neice or cousin, who lives in it three months of the year, and sees that the lawn is kept moved and the hedges trimmed dur ing that time. For the rest Of the year, she "goes to town" There isn't an animal bigger than a cat kept on the whole broad ranch

it has been further suggested that the place be surrounded by an orna- mental iron fence, and high one at that, for if it is to be made lounging place the conditions will be even worse than ever before and, instead of being beauty spot would soon be-
 come public nuisance. Some of the Italian residents of the section have suggested that the place be designated as Columbus parklet and that if that be done the Italian citizens will con-
 tribute EioHumenta1 statue to add to the ornamentation. If the proposi- ton would not meet with favor sug- gest1on is made that Hebe be taken from the fountain in the vicinity and placed in the parklet, and the Italians would substitute a Columbus statue at the fountain. That section is among the most travelled in the city and should the park commissioners have any idea of making the parklet hang out for the residents of the locality Tn the good old summer time, there would be protest of the most vigo- rous kind. The Palmer Brothers have made place of beauty of their va cant property in Union street, with big iron fence around, just the kind that should be placed at Columbus parklet, if that is to be the name adopted by the commissioners.

In a short while that triangular plot of land at the junction of Bank street and Montauk avenue and bounded by Bank, Hebron and Shaw streets, will be cleared of buildings and be in read mess for the park commissioners to convert into a beauty spot. the pur- pose for which it was purchased from Actor James O'Neill for the sum of $12,000, The old Treadway school structure, the ruins of the old kindling wood shop and the other small build ings were removed by the Italian resi- dents in that section for the wood there was in them. and at no expense or profit to the city. This week large two-story frame building, the only one remaining, was sold at public auction and will soon be removed to a new To- cation in Shaw street. This triangular spot was long public eye-sore and with the buildings removed the gen. eral conditions will not be improved, as the general surroundings are not conducive to anything that borders on the beautiful. It has been suggested that trees of rapid growth and of con- siderable height be set out on the Hebron and Shaw street sides of the place and that it be converted into a
 beauty garden spot and not in an sense a park of loungers

 During the last week or two I've had to do a good deal of driving about my little home town, delivering late vegetables.
 Like a great many other New Eng land towns mine has it's full quota of summer residents" They are city people who come with the June roses and go away with the September gladioli. In my travels I've had to pass a number of their places.
 For instance, there's the old Wagner place.. It used to be a fruit and berry farm. Its owner did a good business along those lines, made some money, built himself an unusually handsome house took advantage of an eXcep tionally adaptable site to lay out the most picturesque grounds in town. Then, in the natural course, he passed on, the place came into the market and was snapped up by summer guest, who has now become a regular sum- mer resident. She is a widow with ample means with a real love for quiet, independent living, with a genuine fondness for the country,-when the country is a land of sunshine and gentle breezes and radiant flowers. But she isn't doing anything along the fruit and berry line. Her interests are chiefly in the house and grounds, in cluding the magnificent lawn, the small f1ower-yard and the hidden kitchen garden. The rest of the place lies fallon.
