ians Of the State House still
walk backwards through the
corridors. The MWDC contin-
ues to attend all the necessary
functions; and Miss Hammond,
its erstwhile head, farms her
Gloucester acres as a full time
job. C'est Ia guerre.
But the background history of
any member Of the Clambake
Club is material for the literary
microscope, even though much
Of the facts must be peeled
from the pages of Who's Who
and American Women. This is
not because Miss Hammond
won't talk-except about the
1912 sesSion-but because the
key TO her personality seems to
lie in the past and in the fu-
ture, not in the present. On
the sternly factual pages Of the
red-bound American Women
tome, the record Of achieve
ments is set forth. In the stu
dio at Saint Briavel in Glou-
cester, the achievements Of the
future are takin gform. Ready
ing paintings for an exhibit and
farming with the intent TO
make the household self-sus-
tanning are investments in the
future, The present is a mat
ter Of plain. grubby hard work.
John Hays Hammond, pere,
was Mining engineer. That
he was a successful one is OBJ
vious from the estate at Glou-
cester which was turned over
four years ago to Cardinal
O'Connell as retreat. That
he was a good engineer, as well,
is evident from who's who:

fornia Gold Fields 1880; Con-
sulting Engineer for Cecil
Rhodes; Consulting Engineer
Consolidated Geld Fields, South
Africa.
The family, Of necessity, did
much travelling, much living in
distant countries. There was
no waiting al the gate for faith
er to return from a mining sa-
safari. The family went along
with him. Education during
the early years was in the ma
ture Of 'catch-aS-catch-can''
but at the same time, it was
constant. From the age of ),
Natalie was taken on bird and
geology walks, with Mr.. Ham

ti1c facts. and the children
