watched for ships that would surely

my people there have gone on much as
they always have, living their beauti-
full lives. There is no money In cir

the big outside world, no intoxicants,
and though they raise tobacco no one
smokes. There is no discussion OF

Miss Mccoy hopes to help develop
her island. Twenty-eight kinds Of
fruit are grown there, and she thinks
a canning factory would pay. The
climate is ideal; she never saw snow
until she reached California, AS wom-
en vote in her island there is no reason
why woman shouldn't be president,
and though she says she isn't going
after the job, she might not refuse it,
because it would enable her to be OF
more service. She is very fond Of
music, as are the Tahitan people,
and she will carry back with her a
piano. The only other musical instru.
ment on the island is an organ given
20 the natives by Queen Victoria many
years ago.
Although the young man to whom
she was engaged is dead. and there
are more women than men on the
sland, there are still eligible young
men there, she admitted when deny
ng with merry eyes that she was
going to take back anyone with her.
No one is allowed to land there and
settle from the outside world, but she
'ad she thought that should she take
back a captive he would probably be
admitted for the sake OF getting her
1ack with her medical, dental and
nursing knowledge.
