No sickl sickness for the shelter that gone-by generations had bequeathed —and, anyhow, as wooden houses are sort of incongruous in a country built of stone, and, as the generous donors had money enough, why couldn’t they have bullt the new homes of the rocks around inetead of importing lumber?

To deliberately prefer outdoor France to her historic belongings, like say, Napoleon's Tomb, is to Show poor taste, perhaps, but it wouldn't do for all of us to be made in the same mold, like buttons on a card. Life would be too monotonous. Then, again, instead of being mere personal opinion it may be—just may be agricultural instinct inherited from ancestral planters who lived on and loved the fields of Maryland from the time of its beginnings until the pres. ent generation snapped into town You can’t tell hecause you can't go behind the scenes—and besldes—you can wee Napoleon's Tomb any day in the movies.
