without long discussion. Those dis
cussions were wholly harmonious
There was no disagreement, but only
the long and painstaking weighing
of all possible and impossible con-

The found that they had brought
with them more wraps than they
needed; and as they planned for a
trip by carriage before their return,
all superfluous wraps were in their
way. They discussed long what they
should send back, and decided upon
a heavy cloak. Then they discussed
how to get it back to their home
and after long conference decided
upon parcels post.
Then the mighty question rose,
from which point should they ship
it back? After much inquiry a port
was decided upon, where the boat
would make a long stop on a given
afternoon.
These good people had a state
room next to ours. On the night be,
fore the eventful day when the
cloak was to be returned, they dis
cussed the matter long into the
night. They rose earlier than usual
next morning, and folded and wrap
ped the cloak
They inquired of the captain, the
purser and the chambermaid, and ]
presume of others, the direction
from the landing to the postoffice,
and whether it was quite certain the
boat would stop long enough for the
man to get to the postOffice and
back
They had prolonged discussion as
to the amount Of postage, and wheth-
er, after all, it would not be better
and safer to ship it by express; but
the returned to the plan Of the par.
