G,Air Castles Peopled by Princes Un-
W. necessary.
Nor is it al all necessary that one s
hair castles should be peopled by
princes: nor yet that his day dreams
3lghould dwell upon the yachts that he d
h,buiid; or the style and type OF the
house boat that he'd own; or Of the
fishing tackle he'd buy or the towing
y pieces that he'd own nor yet Of the
feasts that he'dshave served to him as
a part OF the life Of ease that would

ltlittle children, whose pinced faces and
