Our garden isn't all hearts-ease and

There are w cds enough. we know, and

But still we sink our spades and scat

And pitch aside the rocks and hoe the

Warm rain in spring, in winter crisp,

There, some day, in a cup of tangled

A single perfect flower may be seen.

One of Kennebunkport's distin-
guished summer visitors. Booth
Harrington, famous novelist, with
Mrs. Harrington, her sister, Miss
Louise keifer, and their six SER
wants, left Indianapolis, Monday
afternoon, for Seawood, the Tark-
ington summer home at Kennebunk-
port, where he will remain until
early in November. The annual
migration eastward has been a habit
of Mr.. Harrington for many years.
and inconsistency enough occurs
just when his beloved midland city
is emerging from the fog of smoke
against which he has protested SO
vigorously in his novels. He admit
tod that he is missing something
of beauty in leaving Indianapolis at
this season, but with the admission,
he recalled the pretty scorching
| days that come during summer In
Indiana, and confessed that the cool
and always stirring air of his home
at Kennebunkport and the pleasure
| he has with his motor boat there
| somewhat shakes his loyalty to
Indianapolis, at least for six months.
Mr.. Harrington has just completed

creation of his newest one, 1.-The
Plutocrat,' as something of that
order. Yet, he undoubtedly does re-
gard the writing of a novel as "a
very painful job much worse than

| months this winter when he was
working on his latest one, he re-
manned in seclusion as complete as
If he were under quarantine.
For the summer l am planning
nothing whatever. though l may do

said "but | hope I'll not have to do
another novel for several years. at

The Bates Outing club will have
it's annual mountain trip over the
weekend. The mixers will climb Mt.
Aziscohos which is above the
Rangeley Lakes on the trip this
year. In past years Mt. Washington
or Mt. Katahdin has been the objec-
tive, but the club is making a cycle
so that those who go on several sue
cessive years will not visit the same
locality twice. The party will leave
Thursday afternoon in cars and will
travel to Berlin. N. H., and cross
back over the State line above the
Rangeley Lakes and then start on
the ascent. The men will return
Saturday in time for the track meet
with Springfield. Before and after
the ascent the Outing club members
will stay at camps belonging to the
Union Power Co. On the return
the party will break up into two
groups. One will come back the
same route over which the climbers
pursued on their way to the noun
tain, and the other party will come
back and go through the Crawford
Notch. There will be about 20 men
making the trip. and the mixers will
be accompanied by Coach Ray
Thompson. and Professor William

to Popham is not a macadam high
way. although not bad road in the
Summer. but If it boosted as fine
road as are built to many sections
of the state, Popham would soon
become one Of the most popular
spots on the New England coast. 1t
has an unrivalled beach and a
popularity about it Is that while the
south beach faces old ocean where
the seas roll in high, the east beach
faces the more placid waters OF the

not be this year and it may not be
next, but some day someone will see
the possibilities in this property and

it the popularity which it deserves.

WHEN MOTHER STEPS OUT

L s s
Goodbye, mamma. Have a good
time!" A small, red-headed boy
threw both arms around his moth
er's neck for farewell kiss.
Goodbye, muvver. Take dood
time!" echoed a chubby girl of
three.
It was refreshing to witness
that sweet, wholesome mother TAX
ing such happy leave of her young
sters. There were no tears of re-
gret on the little faces, only smiles
and tenderness. Mother was going
to an afternoon party at the home
of one of her girlhood chums and
the two children, knowing all about
| it, were only anxious that she
should enjoy herself, for as Roger,
the six-year-old, confided to his
grandmother later, "You know
mammas are always so busy they
don't get to many parties
In how many homes. is cases of
this kind, the scene is quite diff
ferent! In how many homes. when
mother leaves for an afternoons
or evenings pleasure, the children
set up an uproar. no matter how
kind and competent the person
with whom they are left! How
many raothers "sneas away" from
their little ones!
For instance: Mother and daddy
want to go to the movies.
"I'll just put the children to
bed first, and then we'll slip away
without saying anything about it,
says mother. They're perfectly
all right here with Mary, but II
I tell them we are going they're
sure to make a fuss"
Thereupon hangs the secret of
it all. Never in the lives of Roger
and wee Betty. from the time they
were old enough to understand. had
their mother ever "sneaked away
from them. Never had they been
put to bed for their maps and wax
ened to find mother gone without
their knowledge.
"I've always told them when
was going anywhere" she explain
ed to me. cts so much better!
For children are just like grown
people, they don't like to be fool
ed. They are reasonable and, when
made to understand things, can
usually be counted on to do the
square thing. I tell Roger and
Betty where I'm going and why
and how long / expect to stay.
And when l come back I tell them
about some of the fun I've had.
Sometimes / have a favor or two
for them-a pretty nut cup or two
or fancy place card. I'll never
forget one party / went to, when
I brought home an unusually fancy
ruffled nut cup with a tiny white
parasol on the side. Roddy found
it on the table in the morning and
shouted at the top of his lungs,
ooh, goody, goody, mother won
prize" That just shows how in
terested they are in my good times.
And of course they know I'm al
ways extremely interested in their
| fun. too!
