They circle the entire island and stop at many interesting and historic locali- ties. The ship is the tourist's hotel during the entire trip,so that the labor and inconvenience of land travel is avoided. The special tourist rate for this cruise is $140,which includes every expense.

We are told in last week’s issue of Lire that American women live with one whole-souled object in view—to part with as much money as possible. As only a very small fraction of them are able to kezp even one servant this misleading generalization is doubtless meant to apply to the womankind of this particular type of man. And suppose one of them suddenly appears clad in “cheap simplicity’? or announces a di sire to help the family budget by some self-re- specting piece of work? He would hail these ambitions with delight of course? He would feel he was being “made a fool of,’ and men- tion the fact in no uncertain terms. He wishes “appearances kept up.’’ He chooses the type of woman to do it. Every effort of women in gen- eral toward a er life of work and civic re- sponsibility he ridicules. Now let him at least have the grace not to pose as a martyr beside. Geracpine Havesyer. New York CAN THESE THINGS BE? To ine Epitox or Lire: Sir: It is hardly necessary to say I have been a great admirer of Lire for many years; enough y that when I feel that [ want about one hour's real enjoyment, I can always find it ina new copy of that magazine I think I derive more pleasure in illustrated articles or papers than the ordinary reader, from the fact that I can as a rule get all that the artist intended, For in- stance, when he shows a rider about to mount a horse, standing as he should on the left side of and sometimes more. the horse, but putting his right foot in the stir- rup, I always get a good “chuckle ’’ extra in imagining the position of the rider when he finally gets on the back of the horse. Again, to see a milkmaid located on the left side of the cow, I look to sce the cow naturally throwing the maid in the air. Such as these I note almost daily, and as above have extra en- joyment I have derived “ thirty cents’ ’’ worth of pleas- ure out of Bittner’s Woodpecker, on the front of your October 1sth issue. The idea is really excellent, the work fine, the coloring perfect; but the bird is not a“ Woodpecker "" at all, but a apsucker. The next time we meet we will take “one at your, or Bittner’s expense (with a cherry in it) Yours ete., L. A. Boyo. October 23, 1908 Marion, S. C., To tue Epitor or Lire: Sir: I have been reading the many remarks and observations called forth by Col. Larnard’s very able (apparently) article, in which he shows clearly that the youth of to-day does not come up to the requirements of the pure food law. I myself um one of them—go per cent. idiot. My only hope is that the other 10 per cent. is worth saving I failed to pass the entrance examination? Have you ever seen one of them? They show that something is wrong, and the Colonel knew it could not be the moss-covered examination so it must be the candidate, and if the candidate, why then who made him so? Why, the poor schools of the present day. It is to smile. The Colonel at the head of a regiment of facts and figures charging down upon the unarmed schools. I have since passed the entrance exams.

The world’s greatest victories are won on Michelin stock tires. Michelins won the Vanderbilt Cup —the Grand Prize in France—four out of five events at the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway. They won at Lowell—and Savannah. There is no other tire like them. On a rough road over all kinds of obstacles they outwear any other tire. Travelling at a high speed, they outwear any other. They cost a little more, because extraordinarily careful manufacture is necessary to produce their quality. What tires do you use? MICHELIN TIRE COMPANY MILLTOWN, NEW JERSEY, U.S. A.
