When the tide is up and the sun
shining, Seabridge has attractions
which make the absence of visitors
something of a marvel to the in-
habitants. A wandering artist or
two, locally known as "painter -
chaps," certainly visit it, but as they
usually select subjects for their can-
vases pf which the progressive party
of the town are heartily ashamed,
they are regarded as spres rather
than visitors, and are tolerated rath-
er than welcomed. To a citizen who
has for a score of years regretted the
decay of his town, the spectacle of a
stranger gloating over its ruins and

WONDERFUL MEMORIES.
People Who Fincl It Impossible To
Forget.
It is a common complaint about peo-
ple that they cannot remember things,
but there are people in the world who
seem unable to forget anything that
has once entered their brain.
The late First Lord of the Admir-
alty, Mr. Winston Churchill, can tell
the name, tonnage, and gun calibre of
every ship in the Navy without refer-
ring to any document.
But 1.is memory is not equal to his
father's. Lord Randolph Churchill
could walk along the longest street in
London—say, Oxford street—and then
repeat the names of all the shop -signs
in order, either way, on both sides. It
is also said that he could repeat Ma-
cauley's trick of reading a page of

"Come to the cookhouse door,
boys!"
It is the same, familiar tune which
brings the Tornmies in the camps to
their midday meal, but there is a
slightly different state of affairs in
the kitchens. That is to say, in some
of the kitchens. Women—not men—
are now frequently the cooks.
These women are really in the
Army.' They have their Army pay
plus their rations, accommodation,
and sixpense a week for personal
laundry, says London Answers..
They are trained by the Military
Cookery Section of the Women's
Legion, the successful organization
established by Lady Londonderry.
Generally they go to a school for a
period of three weeks or so at Dart-
ford, which school is attached to a
large convalescent hospital.
Obviously, women who aspire to
these positions must leant to deal with
huge quantities of provisions, and this
is what the probationers are trained
to do during their stay at Dartford,
Already there is a huge kitchen there,
with something like thirty-two women,
under a bead cook, where the cooking ;•,•
.
for the hospital is gone.
While at this school the pupil also
learns trench cooking, how to ^ook
with an Aldershot oven (those big
beehive affairs), and also with a Soyer
stove. Trench cooking is done in a big .•
brick oven built in the open, when no
other resources are available:
