Her afternoons were free, and shespent all summer at the vacation resort instead of merely the three weeks that she had thought she could afford. A typist sent cards to all the hotels and cottages saying that she would answer business correspondence, make out hotel menus or send out letters ex- tolling the merits of the resort to pros- pective visitors. For the last-mention- ed work her 'services were sought be- cause she put human interest into her writing that did not appear in the usual descriptive circulars. One girl and her brother gave swim- ming lessons. Every morning and every afternoon they had large classes of' persons who were eager to learn from some one who was really expert. Another girl met her entire vacation expenses by taking, finishing and sell- ing small photographs. "Few vacation- ists get good pictures; either they don't know how to gauge the lights on the water or they fail to pick out the really beautiful points of interest; maybe they want to be in the picture themselves; so I am always getting, commissions to take pictures," she ex: plainest. She did the finishing herself and found that good snapshots were usually in great demand. Many resorts are a considerable dis- tance from the small town on which they depend for their supplies. People on vacation dislike to make trips to town,and so one girl seized the oppor- tunity to shop for the others. A slight payment from the cottager and a small commission from' the merchants kept her in spending money all sum- mer. Candy makers need only set up shop to be successful, because all vacation- ists have a sweet tooth and the ordie nary village store does not fill the de- mand for sweets. Baking small cakes or frying doughnuts is another way to earn enough to extend the holiday,' The right sort of girl can act :as guide for a locality. If eime:know$ the points of interest in the neighborhood, —the best fishing. holes, the side tribe and the berry patches,—she may find her services in steady demand.

The . girl who finds the matter of expense an obstacle to her vacation plans can perhaps get a valuable hint or so from other girls who have de- vised a way to a "pay-as-you-go". outing. One girl in a northern lake region made use of her ability to amuse chil- dren. While the mothers went on fish- ing trips or visited the surrounding places of interest she helped to make sand villages, took small children on voyages close to the shore or on walks to the berry fields. Since the girl in charge really enjoyed children, the work was not tedious to her, and the problem of expense took care of itself.

But Old Man "I'm sending one," said Lormer. 1 The big hunting occurred promptly !after Tedyy's return. It took place lin the Old Man's private office. The only eyewitness was Mr. Lormer. The ;auditors in the big room outside were many. Out there work was suspended by common consent while the sport went on. "So," bellowed Weeks, Senior, "you expect to ask the general board to look at a fool recommendation like this?" "That's what I expect, sir," answer- ed Weeks, Junior, "unless you prefer to keep on wasting sixty-five hundred a year of the company's money in fuel. You say the first cost is ruinous. I show that the thing pays for itself in six years. You say it won't .work. I tell you it has worked in Quebec since 1915." Weeks brushed aside Teddy's papers. "If the scheme was any good, don't you suppose we'd have heard of it?" "Aren't you hearing of it now? Has anybody had time since `Fifteen' to hear of anything?" "Don't stand there and argue." Weeks waved a dismissing hand. "I'll stand here and argue till I get a respectful hearing." Ted's, face was red, and his voice may have shaken a 'little. "The company gave me this assign- ment, I've put a month of work on it, and I want it judged on its merits," "That's only fair, Weeks," Mr. Lor - mer hinted. "When T came here," Ted continued, "you told me to forget I was your son, and to expect no favors from you. All right. Suppose you forget you're my father, and expect no indulgence fr in me. Suppose you talk like a busiffss •'tan. This plant is no kindergarten." Weeks should have taken warning and saved his face. But a fixed notion that lies stood for years is not dis- lodged in seconds. Teddy, remember, had the advantage; he had trained for this clash for months. "How do you dare talk fresh to me?" cried the Old Man, rushing to destruction. "How do you dare, you —you—you little runt?" . `I, scarcely know," Teddy respond- ed, "The way you've raised me, you haven't left me much nerve. But 1 have enough to tell you that I'm dam tired of this ancient delusion of yours, and I'm through with this hoodoo you've put on me. Pardon my frank- ness!" The Old Man's cheeks swelled and his eyes bulged. ' So many retorts crowded his tongue that they got into a traffic block and 'stone ` came, forth. Mr. Lormer turned his back, gazed out at the window, and quivered with emotion. "You have loaded me," Teddy pur- sued, ';candidly, "with an inferiority complex big onough to,founder an ele- phant.

People who are well acquainted with the appearanice of an orchard In this country probably imagine that an or- chard in Tasmania looks the same, having rich green grass growing under the trees. But thin is not the case at all. I arrived in Tasmania ..in spring (autumn in this country), and proceed- ed straight to an apple orchard. At that time of year It looked like a verit- able fairyland; all the trees were cov- ered with pink and white blossoms. The first thing that struck me was the cleanliness of the ground. There was not a weed -not a blade of grass even. Every year the whole of the orchard has to be ploughed, cross -ploughed, and harrowed; and the ground round every tree has to be dug up. Twioe 'a year each tree must be sprayed as a preventive against in.iect pests.
