VI ioSi thehl uS HAS COIne 10 q place TOO
quiet for him. The majority of the
residents of this beautiful little colony
are people who came down for their
first summer years ago, before the
boat service was what 1t is now, and
before the automobile was the COM
mon means Of transportation that it
Is now. The summer then was meant
for vacation and South Harpswell
people are doing the same things in
the same way that their friends did
them years ago when the place was
only a prospective summer colony.
From Maine, Massachusetts,, all over
New England, and even from New
York and other western and southern
states come the people to enjoy in the
fullest sense of the word, their vaca-
ton. 1t is hard to think of any vaca-
tion place which can compare in most
respects favorably with South Harps-
WELL
OF late quite large number of peo-
pie have availed themselves of the
great opportunity of hearing the Kotz-
SEMINAR Memorial Organ in the City
Hall in Portland. Last week Wednes-
day afternoon, party from here COM
posed of DR.. Kingsley and family, DR..
Neal and Mrs. Neal, Miss Pauline
Gardner, Mrs. Bates and a number of
others went up to the city for the ex-
press purpose Of hearing the organ.
They previously sent in list of selec-
lions which they would enjoy and Mr.
Macfarlane, much to their delight,
made up his afternoons program from
the list. Included in the party were
some members who have studied
in Germany and who have had the
advantage Of contact with some OF the
best musicians in the world, and they
were unanimous in saying that such
wonderful organ and one played so
artistically and with such a wealth of
expression could not be duplicated
anywhere now. tDr. Kingsley is fort
innate in having previously made the
acquaintance of Mr. Macfarlane, they
having gone to Europe on the same
steamer once, and having become quite
intimate. Mr.. Macfarlane exerted
himself especially that afternoon to
please and satisfy his friends and he
certainly succeeded. 1t will be of
interest to the summer people here
and on the other islands to know that
during the latter part of he summer
the organ will be fixed up and some
new pipes added to improve and add
to the many and varied effects which
can be produced. Many summer peo-
pie who come here from the large
cities of this country cannot under
stand why this noted organ attracts
so much favorable and enthusiastic
comment until they have once heard
it, but after once hearing it, they are
Immediately numbered among the adj
mlrers Of it.
