Some ladies in reproachless sum-

nation and color to the scene. And
an excellent dinner, mainly from the
refrigerator, seemed to successfully
back my Judgment as to summer re-
sorts. But North grumbled all dur
ing the meal, and cursed his law
yers and prated so of his confound-
ed camp in the woods that l began
to wish he would go back there and
leave me in my peaceful city re-
treat.
After dining we went to a roof
garden vaudeville that was being
much praised. There we found a
good bill. an artificially cooled at
mosphere, cold drinks, prompt serv-
ice, and gay, well-dressed audi
ence. North was bored.

= ONSIDERING men in relation to
- money, there are three kinds
whom I dislike; men who have more
money than they can spend: men
who have more money than they do
spend; and men who spend more
money than they have. OF the three
varieties, I believe I have the least
liking for the first. But, as a man,

y well, although he had something
like tws or ten or thirty millions

by duck farms, and the ducks and

wind-mills made so much noise that

were in my own fat six doors from
the elevated railroad of New York.
But that summer did not go. Re-

Binkley & Bing, the theatrical man
ayers and producers. OF course you
know what a press agent is. Well,
he is not. That is the secret of be-
ing one.
Binkley was touring France in
his new c. & n. Williamson car, and
Bing had gone to Scotland to learn
curling, which he seemed to asso-
ciate in his mind with hot tongs
rather than with ice. Before they
left they gave me June and July, on
salary, for my vacation, which act
was in accord with their large spirit
OF liberality. But remained In
New York, which L had decided was
the finest summer resort in
But I said that before.
On July the 10th, North came to
town from his camp in the Adiron-
dacks. Try to imagine a camp with
sixteen rooms, plumbing, eiderdown
quilts, butlsr, a garage, solid sill
yer plate, and long-distance tele-
phone. OF course 1t was in the
igoods-if Mr.. Pinchot wants to pre-
serve the forests let him give every
citizen two or ten or thirty million
dollars, and the trees will all gather
around the summer camps, as the
Birnam woods came to Dunsinane,
and be preserved.
North came to see me in my three
rooms and bath, extra charge for
light when used extravagantly or
all night. He slapped me on the
back Il would rather have my shins

that breath of the cool to brace

for fragrance and tang and a joy in
the nostrils I would not give one

Long Island, for ten of your tur-

Then why" asked North, a little
curiously, don't you go there in

prove my theory to my friend. The
weather Bureau and the season had
conspired to make the argument
worthy of an able advocate.
The city seemed stretched on a
oroiler directly above the furnaces
