As we staggered towards the exit
one or the gals counted on me 426
mosquitoes, 79 horse flies and 32,456
beads of perspiration. We met a
corpse of Girl Scouts entering the
Glen from where we was going out.
They had their stockings rolled so
that their knees was bare and they
was all equipped with heavy blankets
to wrap themselfs up when they came
to the places where it was coldest.

South Seas She saws she is Just
crazy over the South Sea literature.
So we have given her Six Weeks in
the Marquesas Islands and -Four
Days in Fiji, Half Hours in Hoo-Poo
But all that viii only last her less
than seven weeks, and after that we
don't know what to do.
Problem No. 4.-What TO do with
the governess when she is not work
ing? This has proved up to the pres
ent quite insolube problem. 1t is
so hard to know just what TO do with
Mademoiselle after she has finished
governing the children. We can't. so
it is felt, have her in the drawing
room and yet what can one do with
her? We have tried shutting her up
in the garage. but that is dun. In
open weather we can lock her out on
the piazza, but she is apt to get from
there into the billiard room where the
guests are. The only plan seems to
be TO give her somewhere a coZy, lit
tie wee room for herself. either al
the back of the ash-house. or else
underneath the laundry.

THE problems I have named are the
principal oneS-the ones that al
ways recur in any large house of real
class and standing. But there are a
lot of others as well that / need not
treat in detail. For example, there is
the difficult question of how to keep
Robert the undergardener out of the
kitchen. Robert would never have
been engaged if it had been known
that he was a dangerous man. But
this was only reported by the house
keeper after Robert had been brought
up and had been in the house a week.
When you bring man up you can't
bring him down.
And who is it that is stealing all
the jewelry? We don't like to make
any fuss or disturbance. But another
diamond ring went last night and one
feels that something ought to be done.
My visits with my fashionable
friends have been so much disturbed
by perpetual conversation on these
problems that l have decided to give
them up altogether and to get back
into my own class of society. l have
some friends, real ones, who have
wooden house on an island where
there is no electric light within
20 miles and where they use rain
water out of barrel.
They have coal-oil lanterns to see
by; they wear flannel collars and they
pass the soap from one room to an
other as ii is needed. The men cut
the firewood, as required and never
keep more than half an hours supply
on hand, and the girls do all the work
because help can't be got and they
know ten different ways of cooking
canned salmon.
l am going back there. For me
that is the only real old Summer stuff
that is worth while. l was brought
up on it and have never grown out
of it. Anybody who likes may have

A unique and beautiful memorial to
Admiral Peary recently was erected
by the National Geographic Society in

This monument, to the south of the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, is a

lines of the land and water masses of
the globe, and a bronze star is placed
at the North Pole.
