Just as I had got into my town clothes and was brushing my hat I heard all four children screaming. I rushed out and saw Bob and Betty ahOat in the boat and the twins out in the lake to their Chins, yelling frantic ally. The wind was cffshore there was no other boat so in I dived in my best business suit, for those 2 and 2 year Olds might have tumbled out at any instant. I didn't catch the stern until the water was over my head. I had to swim for it The twins, of course, were soaked and repentant. They had meant only to give their small brother and sister an imitation boat ride and it got away from them.
 They, like muself, had to change back into rough camp clothes, and Molly said we looked like a set of hobOes in the parlor car.

 "Of course it was a plain miracle that the whole house didn't burn down Luckily, it merely proved a pleasant diversion for the youngsters. Betty was ecstatic, and when Molly and I returned, frightened out of our wits nearly, she was dancing around the lights which those twins had deposited on the floor in front of the fireplace. Selma, the maid, was washing dishes in the kitchen and entirely unaware of the fireworks. When she learned what was going on she declared that she wouldn't stay alone with the chiI- dren again. After that Molly and I took our brief outings accompanied by the whole clan and Selma, who was too tintd to remain even in broad daylight by herself in the bungalow.
 My advice is to take 8 country broken girl if you're going into the woods to keep house. Selma's delicate feelings were such that she could not brin gherself to dispose of the garbage, and when I wasn't otherwise engaged I passed Q good deal of time digging last resting places for our table re- mains.

The twins interest in the pump was thoroughly satisfied after they had removed all the bolts and lost the leather thongs which secured the bolts.
