 Today was like any other day for him. If the weather is good he will be permitted to romp on the spacious lawns outside the island homestead, attended by the Scot tish nurse, members of the house. hold, and the dog that has become his inseparable companion and protector.
 North Haven natives, most of whom live at the east end of the island. about four miles from the Morrow estate, see little of the Lindbergh child. Betty Cow has had him to town few times when she has come down to make pur- chases, and Mrs Lindbergh had him down with her one day last week. But for the most part Jon can be seen only from a distance as he plays outside the home.
 Jon's parents came here early last month and were here much of the time until their departure Monday. Colonel Lindbergh was away several times, chiefly in con neotion with test flights of the new Brazilian Clipper transport, SAP. at Bridgeport, Conn. During the last two weeks of his stay here the colonel went sailing frequently aboard the cabin cruiser. Mouette, accompanied by his wife and mem- bers of her family.
