Miss Campbell joined the Bates
party in Portland on June II, going

scheduled for Cleveland, the train
stopped in Chicago long enough to
permit the party to visit Lincoln
Park, in the words of Miss Campbell,
1.-The most beautiful place in the
world The party was met in Clave-
land by Mr.. Pope, farm magazine
publisher of that city. He took them
all over Cleveland by auto. The

Campbell was much surprised when
she saw how we'll everything had
been preserved, and the old furni-
ture, though unique in its antiquity
at one time, is now coming back into
style again and is quite modern and
up-to-date. In the kitchen they
found the same old cooking utensils
and the old fire place. The grounds
which are kept up in magnificent
shape, are a rolling green, gently
sloping off to the Potomac. 1t was
here that Miss Campbell thought she
could live for ever. They also Wis
