Says Boston paper of Castine
Many picturesque bays indent the
coast of Maine but the most popular
among vacationists is Penobscct Bay.
Here are Dark Harbor Castine. Cam

summer resorts which each year lure

on the island of Islesboro, is the start
ing point of many delightful drives
which afford vistas of rugged cliffs and
rCrving beaches. Castine, the most
famous of Penobscot Bay resorts from
an historical standpoint, occupies a
narrow peninsula which protrudes
abruptly into the bay. From the hill
above the town the views are as fine
as any in Maine, which is about as
high praise as could be given. The bay
itself is a beautiful sheet of water
with many green islands which shelter
scores of hotels and summer cottages.
Toward the southwest rise the blue
hills of the Camden range and far to
the east may be deserted the bold
peaks thai make Mt. Desert such a
popular resort. Castine was such a
desirable location that centuries ago
the English and the French battled
strenuously to retain it. The first vis
itors were Frenchmen. The Sieur de
Monts sailed up the Penobscot in 1904
and De Poutrincourt followed him two
years later. Not until 1929, however,
was O. settlement established on the

The Steamer Carolyn, condemned as
a wreck on the Maine coast, renno-
waited by William B. Johnson to whom
she was sold, and which will be re-
christened Mary Elizabeth, made her
first sea trip, Wednesday. when she
tested compasses and engines. The
steamer has been undergoing repairs
for nine months. The repairs to the
vessel were finished nearly three
weeks ago, and she had intended to
leave for Stockton Springs. Me. TO
load for New York. resuming he-
place in the trade in which she was
engaged at the time she stranded at
Metinic island in January, 1911. To
meet the requirements of Lloyds, how
ever, it was found that some addi-
tional work would have to be done
and she was fioated into the drydock
again. On the run down the harbor
and back the Carolyn was greeted
with the whistles of every craft that
had steam. The Carolyn looks like a

That was when She was the Parkgate.
She stranded in American waters
some years ago, and after being pur-
chased by the A. H. Bull Steamship
Co. of New York. as she laid on the
beach, was floated and repaired at
great expense in an American ship
yard. After being placed in the SER
vice again her name was changed to

IG LALOUP sent his
canoe down stream with such
mighty strokes of the paddle
that the tough ash ben in his
hands and babe fair to snap. Twi-
light was falling-the soft. mysterious
twilight of the forest hat made black
shadows beneath the tamaracks while
the sky blazed red and gold above the
treetops. The pipe of birds came mu-
sically through the stiffness. and far
away a white owl was hooting dis
mally.
Ordinarily Pierre would have loiter-
ed along, drifting idly with the current
and watching the night descend upon
the forest, for. familiar with it all as
he was, these early summer twilights
cast their spell upon him. They made
him content with the world and with
himself. But tonight the spell was
rudely shattered. He wanted to pad
die hard enough to blot out his bitter
thoughts.
For a long time he had known it was
coming. He had endeavored to pre-
pare himself for the shock. Yet now
that it was here, despite all his fore
sight and his determination to take the
blow stolidly, his heart was full of
ranking bitterness. Yes. he had known
it that day in early spring. when De-
Mise Beauchamp had come back from
the convent a thousand times prettier
and a thousand times more intangible.
He had known then that she had gone
quite beyond the pale of his dreams.
The Denise who came back from the
convent was not the Denise of old.
This new Denise. with the big, starry
eyes that looked one through and
through. was a bewildering creature.
In her presence big Pierre felt like
an awkward. bungling schoolboy. Her
cool. quiet voice. with its subtle impe-
rious infections. made him hot and
cold by turns and set him stammering
absurdly when he essayed conversation
with her. Therefore in time he came
to worship her in silence whenever he
paid one of his frequent visits to Pere
Beauchamp's clearing on the headwa-
tiers of Little Otter.
Over and over again Pierre had told
himself that n girl like Denise was as
far away from him as the sun is from
the %groveling mole. Yet tonight as he
padded toward his own clearing he
found but little consolation in reiterat-
ing this to himself.
He had gone up to the B%eauchamp

! WASHING AND IRONING.

After washing busters dip them in
kerosene and dry them in the open
air.
A good idea IS to wash stockings by
themselves In a small tub. This does
away with lint.
Add coffee to the rinse water when
washing ecru curtains to preserve their
original color.
A couple Of tablespoonfuls Of borax
In the water In which they are washed
will remove the leather stains from

When drying knitted things care
should be taken that they keep their
measured shape. so 1t is necessary to
look at them several times in the dry
Ing. When they are half dry they
should be turned and pulled by hand.

wfping the shelves with oil OF cedar
Is said to be n good way to keep the
mold from books.
DO not leave wooden tubs dry or they
will crack and fall apart. Keep a little
water always standing in them.
To rid carpet of moths sonk the af-
fected part in %benzoline, being careful
that there is no light or fire anywhere

To keep mice away scatter small
pieces of camphor in your cuphoards
and drawers. They greatly dislike the

JUSTIFYING SELF ESTEEM.
An Honest Appraisal of Yourself Has a
SANITARY Effect.


In an article in the American Maga-
zine William Johnston says:
cit is not what people say about you
Its what you are that counts. The
n person I'm all the world whom you
should aim to satisfy is yourself. Other
people know your outward appearance.
your actions. your deeds. You. and you
alone. know your motives, your ambi-
tons, your thoughts.
"Are you satisfied with yourself? It
Is your own fault IL you are not. Are
you satisfied that you are doing the
best you car I'm your work. that you are
making the most of your time? Are
you confident that your conduct toward
your family, your friends. your neigh
bors. your employer. cannot be i'm
proved?
Look yourself in the face this morn
ing. in your minds looking glass. Ask
yourself whether IL is what people say
about you or what you are that hurts.
Analyze your own conduct in all mat
tiers.
Put yourself in the other fellows
place and try to see your actions
through his eyes. Imagine that you are
your employer instead of yourself. An
swer honestly whether if he knew as
much about you as you know about
yourself he would discharge you or
would raise your wages. II you do this
conscientiously there are many things
you will do differently.
Remember this too other peoples
opinion Of you is based on your own
opinion of yourself. Are you self re-
| specting? Other people will respect
you. Are you truthful? The world will
believe you. Are you honest? Every
will trust you.
"But weigh yourself frequently.
Weigh yourself carefully. BE certain
that your own opinion of yourself Is
justified. Be satisfied with yourself"

Weighing Smoke.

Did you ever hear the story Of how
Sir Walter Raleigh made a wager with
Queen Elizabeth that he could weigh
the smoke that came from a pipeful
of tobacco? How do you suppose he
did 1t? If you a guess you are more
clever than Queen Elizabeth, and yet
the solution Is simple.
He weighed the tobacco carefully on
some scales before he put 1t in his
pipe, and after he had smoked 1t he
knocked out the ashes and weighed
those. The difference. of course. was
the weight of the smoke.

whose hands are palms down, al
strike the others hands he "a go on.
This is an excellent game for cult
waiting q~uickness. The player whose
hands are TO be struck will find that
he can succeed better in escaping the
others blows If he watches his oppo-
nent's eyes rather than his hands.
A number can play by arranging 1t
as a sort of tournament, trying out
the players by couples until finally the
two best contestants are left.
