by her older brother, Hugh. He drives her to

Fluvanna, a warm-hearted, seli-sacrificing and
understanding soul, welcomes her. Kezias sis.

care of three children, is at lunch with them.
Hugh's wife, Dorrie, has pleaded a previous
engagement. On the way back to his job at

Three hours before this Kezia
switched out the light in her room
with the gold and green chintz
draperies, snuggled down in her pil-
low. The night wind rustled the
oaks, stole in with the fragrance of
honeysuckle; the window was a
framed oblong of silver from the
moon; the clock downstairs tinkled
the half hour. Kezia was very
sleepy, very contented with her-
self.
The power she had over men was
tremendous—simply tremendous. It
was all quite easy, just as Lolly
had said. It worked every time.

The telephone jangled constantly
for Kezia. Young people came and
went with chatter and laughter, the
radio played at all hours and meals
frequently were delayed, for Kezia
was always hurrying from one en-
gagement to another. The constant
clamor began to pall on Fluvanna,
and her usual serenity was now oo-
casionally disturbed.
It was a little hard to become ad-
justed to the furore of excitement
after the quiet winter. Fluvanna
assured herself that it was good
for her—good to have a gay young
person in the house. Kezia must
have this youthful time of pleas-
ure. This springtime of her life
was so fugitive; its memories
threaded the pattern of life with

was brewed at the revival of the
famous old-time Gypsy party at
Baildon, Yorks, says London Tit-
Bits Magazine. Five thousand guests
partook of it, and more than 3,000
pounds sterling was raised for
charity in the carnival that followed.
The broth, which was made from
an ancient recipe, was composed
chiefly of 1,000 pounds of vegetables
plus 600 pounds of peas, 500 pounds
of meat, and 60 pounds of condi-
ments. There were also scores of
chickens and little-known herbs to
give it piquancy. The preparation
alone took three days and the cook-
ing twenty-four hours! This broth is
reminiscent of a certain very holy
soup made once in seven years by
the monks of a remote monastery in
the Keun Lun mountains on the
borders of Tibet. It is brewed in

Montauk Point History
Is Shrouded in Mystery
Montauk’s famous lighthouse, a
great structure 168 feet above sea
level, had its first tower erected in
1796. Some of the history of Mon-
tauk is shrouded in mystery. Folks
did not talk too loud nor put their
thoughts on paper about the slave
ships in the 1850s which unloaded
there, asserts a writer in the New
York Times. There were mutinies,
murder, no doubt, and strange
black men sometimes swam or
rowed ashore and disappeared to-
ward Sag harbor, where they could
find others speaking Spanish and
Portuguese dialects.

Arrival of Canal Boats
Big Event Century Ago
New marvels of transportation
kept the American public wondering
a hundred years ago, records over
new waterways being made almost
every week, especially in Columbus,
where the “‘great Ohio canal’ was
within a year of completion to the
Ohio river. The week of September
20, 1831, saw some events come to
pass that had a tremendous influ.
ence on the future of that state.
Under the heading ‘More Welcome
Arrivals,” the Columbus Sentinel
of September 27 said:
“On Monday three canal boats ar-
rived at this town, viz.: the Cine
cinnati, Red Rover and Lady Jane,
These were the
first boats that had passed the Lick-
The first fruits of nav-
igable commerce with the lakes and
the state of New York to the town
of Columbus was welcomed by the
firing of a six-pounder, the ringing
of the state house bell, a proces-
sion of citizens and an address from
a committee and a collation, par
taken in common by the boats’ com-
pany and citizens. The scene was
intensely gratifying to the man of
business and admirers of internal
improvement; and it is hardly less
animating to the youth and very
many of the adults in this place,
who had never seen any watercraft
superior to the Orleans flat. The
sight of those boats was marvelous
to some slow calculating pioneers of
these Western wilds, who never
believed that in their day a canal
boat would reach Columbus from
the lake. The first boat was adapted
to heighten the marvel. It was the

city of New York and actually float-
ed on the briny waves in that har
bor; had passed up the majestic
Hudson; the great Western canal,
and plied the Erie and Ohio canal

Such was progress in those days.
