In.reaIIer we were vastly entertained by the
young lady visitor who recounted various es-
capaues vi her youth, lnciu0lnk WHO rl0e ON
ulcycle in the DAYS wnen DiKeS were the
thing. Once" salu sue, Il careened into gar

to 1r1se an autonODlie through the pate glass;
WINDOW OF the safety building but was unsac-
cessrui in the enaeavor-proDabiy because the
engine died.
At $3.50 we distributed the excess poundage
in the car and started tor camp. dropping the
youthful coupe ut their nome on the way. Ar
rived without mlsnap and found Daughter and
the Young human visiting" at nelghDor1ng
camp All nome and to bed.
July S-Roused early again by threat OF
rain. Got up anu put Gown the WOODEN naps
ana went back, to sIeep. Due to the darkness
(probably) we did nUl awaken at the usual
hour, hence l missed the early car. Finally
reached the Office at S:l5, carrying bit OF y
crouch.
At o'clock T. L. w. H. t. D. m s. came
and we went to lunch al the Y. ". cafeteria.
Outside OF home and the homes OF my fr1en1s
1t is the only place IN which l care to eat.
>. Back to camp at O'Clock. At 1920
the Schoellermans rolled in in their limousine
to spend the night After bit OF keen nathe-
NAUTICAL deduction we managed to deposit seven
persons in two beds and two cots without put
ung too great strain upon the pfopretles.
At 4:30 1. L. W. H. t. d. LII. S. sighted Edwln,
who is years old, sitting up IN bed with u
rapt expression On mis- face. He was listening
to the matin of the feathered orchestra ana
saying never a word. u
At $40 everybody was up. Youngsters do
not believe IN sleeping late. Walt hurried of
to town without breakfast. He didn't care for
it, he said. I'd as lief miss my right leg as my
breakfast.
About II o'clock came the Bettses, and later
the Greiners. Business of borrowing an old
door and some wooden horses" to make more
| table room, then the big feed. The wind was
blowing strong but 1t was a hot wlnd-such a
wind as l faced and grew weary Of for two
| weeks once in western Kansas. What a day
for windmill symphony! We lolled about un-
der the trees. shlrtless-that is, the male Dor
ton Of the company was shirtless-while the
ladies rolled their own, and the children, who
seem never to feel the heat romped and raced.
| Once we drove down to the little store ON the
| corner and came back with supply of soft
drinks
Sighting the approaching storm we gath
cred ON the front porch to watch and hope for
its coming. When we had about given it IN
!, it arrived suddenly and Unexpectedly, where
upon there was a mad scramble to drop the
| uOOQe0 before
succeeded. Afterward the cool air was most
inviting. Then. as the human animal never for
! gets his stomach, We ate again and about Z: 30
or o'clock the gang piled into the Schoeller-
man Limousine and left for town. Tired. Went
to led at S25. -.
At 10 O'Clock awoke with violent start
and the panlcky feeling that the camp was
about to sail away down the hill to the river
Repetition OF the mad scramble to let down
the flaps After they were down the storm
seemed to have passed SO burned nv fingers
pulling on the ropes to raise them again and
went back to bed 49,.
Twelve o'clock and all's hell! / struggled
out OF deep sleep to face torrent OF raid
and put down those damned flaps again! AS
ran around in my bathrobe and slippers I re-
called with indescribable feelings of ironv.

decided 70 go out and stay out at 10 o'clock,
Well eventually we went back to sleen.
