Mrs. Pep’s Diary (Continued from page 16) feel a trifle sorry when the chemist returns a favorable report on liquor shich we have paid him to analyze. A great company for dinner, and when the talk did run merrily on some shooting property which our host is trying to sell, his young daughter did suggest that it might not be a bad idea to have down Lem Avery, who can simulate the sound of wild animals by drawing a string through a skin stretched over a tin can, and hide him in the scenery shen prospects are being shown over the property. Bed betimes, and find- ing “Doomsday” amongst the new books on my table, I could but re- joice again that Warwick Deeping, after writing almost a score of un- successful novels, should have finally turned out “Sorrell and Son.” March Breakfast in bed, with jas- mine on the tray, too, nor Uth gid it smell any whit like what the parfumeurs bottle over its name. Then up and off in a buggy with Sam to follow the drag hunt, and whilst we were descending a great incline Jimmie Cooley, wear- ing one of his picaresque hats, did gallop by and halloo a pseudo-quota- tio from my Diary berating Sam for bringing me down such a steep hill, though I had made no criticism of his driving beyond a feeble plea that he should keep occasionally to the road. Famished at luncheon, I did eat a prodigious amount of ham mousse, spinach and guinea fowl, which gave me such a thirst whilst watching the polo I must needs con- centrate on Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in order to retain any com- posure soever, and afterwards at tea I did drink four beakers of grape juice mixed with ginger ale before ny throat even approached normal again, which caused Sam to wonder why it is some persons never think of drinking plain water when they are parched, to which my only retort vas that he was a splendid one to make the inquiry. Then walking to the village, and I was so much im- pressed with the lonely editor mak- ing up the local paper in the window of his tiny office and press-room that I would have gone in to speak with him had not my husband restrained ne, nor did I protest, neither, be- cause some day I may go for a walk vithout my husband. Another item of observation was that though the North is North and the South is South, the gift shops of both have Une bowls as the leading feature of their window displays. Baird Leonard.
