Queer les Adapted to the Queer Structures They Belong Ta. “Every time I go off on my summer outing,” said the man who is just back from his vacation, wonder what new and old friends in the line of cottage names I am going to find. Of course everybody with a summer cottage. even if it is only a shack with one room, has to give it a title and the natives aren’t far ' behind when it comes to naming their farmhouses or everyday village homes. - “Don’t think I am grumbling. I like the custom and am thinking of open- ing competition with a fellow, or may- be it's & woman, living over in Jersey He, or she, advertised to fit anybody out with a name suitable for a country home of any description. My! I'd like to see the list that fellow, or woman, has stored up! ‘But I'll bet the island of Nantucket can show him, or her, some new ones. Especially that part of the island known as ‘Sconset. It's no wonder that ‘Sconset has odd names for its houses, for the hotises are not like any you ever w anywhere else. They began by being little cabins where fisherman stayed part of the year. “Gradually they .grew a little, with an ‘ell’ here and a leanto there. But they aren’t much bigger now than overgrown boxes. And they squat so close to the ground that two tall meu could almost see each other across the epoles. Most of them are shingled all over_ sides as well as roofs, and th shingles are gray and mossy with age “When it comes to names one finds some of the old reliables even at Sconset. 1 dow't believe there are many square miles in New England without Tdlewild. And of course every stretch of summer resort coast from Maine to Florida has its cottage labelled Ocean Spray. But here are a few of the less common names orna- menting the door lintels at 'Sconset. “Naturally most of them have a more or less nautical flavo instance: Mizzen Top, Cabin, the Anchorage, Bos'n's Casa Marina, Crow's Nest and Come Aboard. “The place also has rather move than its share of les, whose sige, however, m be inferred from such names as Castle Bandbox and Thimble Then there are the Martin (presumably housing the Mar- Takitezie, Bigenough, Liltle !

A Premature Course. Two eastern universities that some years ago established diplomatic Ccourses intended to fit graduate stud- ents for the American diplomatic sery - ice have proved a failure. Only one student, it is reported, has taken the examination thus far. The explanation offered now might have occurred more readily when the course was being considered as an ar- gument against establishing it. This is that personal and political influence have more to do with appointment then individual merit or record. Tn fact. it was truer then than now when an effort is really being made to make qualification and individual merit the basis for appointment and promotion. If it was thought advisable to estai- lish such a course then it should be more so today A But the fault is deeper than this ex- planation, weakened by the present improved conditions. It was too am- bitious. If the course had been to in- struct aspirants for places in the con- sular service as a stepping stone 1o the diplomatic branch it would have offered wider opportunitiess.
