Stevenson has written “land- scape on a walking tour is quite aces- sery,” and Stevenson is the artist of artists where walking is concerned. No one can read his “Travels With a Donkey” without feeling at once the Gelight of the open road and the breath of the air in his lungs. Maine is a grand, wonderful country to the true lover of nature; there are 80 many varied kaleidoscopic changes tc suit the moods of the tourist, from the piacid waters of its lakes to the huge waves that dash in fury over “the stern and rockbound coast.” Rock-girt Monhegan has certainly attalned a fame among artists and nature-lovers, that few islands possess. This grand old island is twenty miles out to sea. quite alone in its isolated grandeur, As the little island is only two .and a half miles long and one mile wide, the bracing air of the At- lantlc blows right over it, from shore to shore, unpolluted by any land breeze. Monhegan consists of a hamlet of gne hundred fisher folk, with only one street very attractive in its ONE SUMMER IN MAINE rough hcmely quality, with its undress, shirt- sleeve effect.

At thc southern end of the island is n detached rock called Washer- woman’s Rock becuase of the thun ering surf that dashes against it to never-ending symphony of sight and sound. It ds certainly inspiring to see this gray, grim laundress send away to the eternal wash the suds of the At- lantic. If we are surfeited with water views, we have only to cross to the other side of the Island, where the beautiful Cathedral woods lure us on to greener flelds and pastures new. Peter Pen, himself from the Never Never Land could not find more de- light among the trees than did we in those sylvan woods, with vistas of the ocean, framed thro’ the interstices of the trees, llke some wonderful ma- rine painting, whose brush is wieided by a Diyine Hand. The shadows of the leaves played and flecked in the sunlight like a shadow dance of little birds, while overhead the woods were filled with the many songs of “The Choir Invisible.” How true it is that “pleasant trifles make the sum of pleasant hours? We are told Captain John Smith made a call on the island and it was his headquarters for a time, while he was exploring the neighboring coast. Belore he anchored in its little harbor other exploreis had been there, among Pilgrims from Plymouth for the corn tha! saved them from starvation in 1622. Our sojourn was only too brief we felt, the morning we much bewildered fly that had chanced ook the *“May Archer,” that makes into our very immaculate dining room. | its daily trip from Boothbay Harboer to close my eyes and the beautiful island looms up before me, with its great rock fortresses over one hundred and fifty feet high, that the sea bat- ters against madly, as if trying to bring them down from their towering heights. Sometimes a friendly rain- bow would make fairy-like bridges from rock to rock, and when the spray mixed with these smatic colors the t was indescribable. The sun, spray and foam formed a castle of rainbow tints until Mother Nature in that firm but mild way one reads about gathered them all up in a cloud and all drifted away into space. t across, at the left of Monhegan mnn.. a huge ledge of rock, ris- ing over one hundred feet from the water like a great sentinel of the harbor. Fishing is the only industry on the island, and the Monheganites mint the sea into treasure ample for their use. It is by the largess of the sea they live, and day after day we watched the dories return laden with cod, haddock, and mackerel, and list- ened spell-bound to the many incred- ulous tales told by the doughty fisher folk, as they proudly showed us their haul. “A most simple people.

In its extreme beauty we lost sight of its commercial value as a port of export and import for both America and Canada, with one of the finest harbors in the world. a place of residence this Forest City, S0 appropriately called because of Its beautiful parks and trees is ideal. ‘The broad elm-bordered streets are clean and well kept and there seems to be uone of the s unlor found in other towns. Like Puck we girdled the city by “the Belt Line” (most ap- propriate) and saw scenes of exceed- ing beauty. Wharevsr we turned, the sreen hollows looked like great gub- lets of creme-de-minthe.

One beautiful morn- ing in a truly Longfellow mood, we went to a favorite haunt of his when a boy, g Oaks, right in the heart of the city. Here is a littie zoo, a pond, which is the home of a flock of mallard ducks and & grove of tall stately oaks, whose branches hide scores of silver-gray squirrels, which are glad to feed from one's hands. Someone with a truly mathematical turn of mind says there are about 365 islands in Casco Bay, one for every day in the year. There are nearer a thousand. The exquisite little park at River- ton one should not miss, with. its al fresco theatre on a hill above the plety ue Presumpscot river. Truly a picture within a picture and one longed for the eyes of Argus to watch the graceful canoes glide slowly by and the pretty little play before us. Yarmouth and Brunswick are typic- al New England villages, easily reach- ed by trolley with superb views of Casco Bay. This bay was once a meeting place of the Indians and has been famous for years because of its deep channels and sheltered anchro- age. Its islands vary in size, from tiny patch of rock to islands many square miles in area. Eagle Island bélongs to Robert E. Peary, our &x- plorer, who has a summer home there. Balley’s and Orrs’ Islands have been too well exploited to mention. Sebago Lake is only sixteen miles from Portland. A part of the charm of the sall over the lake with its view of mountain peaks and villages playing hide and seek among the hills, are the interesting places one passes en route. The Images are a curious mass of rocks, rising straight from the water, nearly seventy feet. On its sides are many historical scenes painted by the Indians, which in the course of years had nearly faded away. These have been restored. Quite a climax is food products. SERV-US MINCE MEAT Package condensed mince meat is made up today of the best quality of dried fruit and other items which can be found, all of which are found in the United States with the exception of spices and currants. The study of packing condensed mince meat has ex- tended over a period of 100 years and today is as near its perfection as we can possibly conceive. The sanitation in the factories in which it.is packed is beyond reproach as the competition today in these lines necessitates the guarding of the most minute detail of the business. The apples used are of the best grade of New York State, where in our opinion is grown the best flavored apple known. The raisins used are of the best guality seeded variety. No expense is con- sidered in procurring the very highest grade of spices, and sugar, as we all know, is always sugar, the different grades merely representing the differ- ent flavors or different g'rnnulu.t{c? re- quired for different purposes. very particle of fruit or any other article used in the manutfacture of mince meat is thoroughly cleaned and hand-picked by people trained to know what should and should not be used and in this manner the article comes to the house- wife cleaner by far than she could possibly take the same articles in her own kitchen, regardless of how clean it may be, and make up the filler for her mince pie. The old idea of airt being prevalent in quantity is today disputed by the greatest authorities on ‘The meat used in mince meat is of the choicest and to- ly by the house- mince meat for all it requires is a iittle water and being heated for thorough belief that a minte meat pie d.:fn-h-u—l- mfi—u-.&-n—-m See your local agent or address Edward Lycette, T.

Songo is a word of Indian origin and means The Outlet. It is only one and a haif miles as the bird flies, and yet the steamer must go six miles and make twenty-seven turns almost at right angles. Like Agag it behooved us td move delicately. ‘We were often within leaping distance of the bank and thought nothing of nearly up- rooting small trees on our way down the stream. Songo is the most er- ratic bit of watery nature possible to conceive. We wound around so as to almost see our own backs. I never wanted to be double-faced before, but I confess I would have liked another at my back. We felt exeactly like “The puppy, whose hair was so flow- ng There really was no means of know- 1 ng ‘Which end was his head. Once he met me and said, Please sir, am I coming or going?
