College several years ago.
The BENEFITS, Miss Waller writes,
are happily installed in their island
home, which is at the Boys Military

nett has no official duties there, but
it seems that the academy authori- |
ties, largely for the sake OF having |
him and Mrs. Bennett around" fur
nished and equipped the cottage and
induced them to live there, rather
than out at the fort.
Mrs. Bennett is now nearly recov-

ceived less than year ago, in a
gasoline explosion, injuries which .
kept her in the hospital for five
months. During this trying time, /

then being an inch taller than his
father, who is good six feet, Bob, .
the other boy, is 1 years old, and .
