 The sea seemed to be but a glorious mirror upturned by a bounteous na- ture to reflect the color grandeur of the sky.
 Then there flashed Into my musings a long forgotten quatrain which had always stirred my childish ina gina tion.
 The sea was but another sky
 The sky sea as well,
 And where Earth ends and Heaven
 begins

 The written words in my mothers dairy had flooded my heart with color and warmth and beauty as wonderful as the dying sun had painted before my eyes in a picture of surpassing beauty.
 Gradually the shadows heightened. Softly the horizon crept in closer be- fore the. great pillows of fog that came through the portals of the Golden Gate. Just so, I thought sad ly. death plotted out my mothers life
 
 The chauffeur. whom I had dis missed with instructions to return later, had returned unknown to me. I sat so long in silence that he evil dently became alarmed for he spoke deferentially: Do you wish to go home now, Miss?"
 I thought of tho crowds at the hotel and answered: NO, not just now. Is there some place where we can get something to eat? I would like sandwich and glass of milk and eat 1t here. You can surely buy 1t along the beach,"
 Without word the man started his machine down the hill and we gradually the lights of the cafes and amusement halls of the strand came into view.
 The chauffeur pulled up beside one of these and I bought me sandwich and milk. I noticed that he had m extra bottle of milk and sandwich in his hand and he laid them on the seat beside him and started back to my hilltop"

 INFLUENCE MARKET
Wide Gains Made in Early SeSSions-Mill Reports
 Show Improvement
By Associated Press

New Orleans, May 14.-Wide gains were made in the early sessions of last week in the cotton market but In the later sessions too much realiz- ing came from the long side to allow the advancing tendency to be pre- served and again weather conditions over the belt took a turn for the bet ter. As 1t was, the market stood at gains over the close of the preceding week on all sessions, rising to ad- vances of 1o7 to 122 points at It's best and still standing at net gains of IS to 27 points at its lowest On the close the net results of the trad ing of the week were gains of 6 to 7s points. July traded as high as 1a.45 cents pound. new high level for the bull movement recently got under way, and closed at 1901 cents. In the spot market middling gained 76 points IF tho net results. closing at 1S.ss cents. against 11.ss cents at the end of this week year ago.
 Early gains were made on heavy rains in the belt and the floods and overflows In the west. which resulted in much crop and property damage, so that later in the week Texas claimed that great deal of replant- Ing would have to be done on top of that already to be done, as a result of unfavorable conditions of tho preced- ing week Or two.
 Plan<tng Delayed
 Planting and replanting were de- layed over large areas of the west by wet soil and oyerflows, and much was the scarcity of seed for replant- ing purposes. Sonie sections claimed that an actual decrease Tn acreage may be the result of the inability of the farmers to secure planting seed.
 In the later sessions the great im- provement in the spot demand and much better accounts from mill cen- ters. on both sides of the water, were the main supporting influences. and they held prices up fin face of the continued tendency to liquidate on tho long side, although the market was not able to break into the high ground The large mill takings for the week, 20s.000 bales, against 1 5s,- GOO this week last year, went we'll with reports of more busin~ss among the mills, and export returns from England made decidedly favorable impression. According to the British board of trade, exports of cloth from Great Britain during August amount ed to 303. .000.000 square yards, against 1St,000,000 the same period last year. Exports of yarns amounted to 21, ,300,- 900 pounds.
