Lfttlejohn's L
The potency of whist to charm, lis
unfailing power to attract, its sub
tlety as a resource in times of leisure,
were all beautifully displayed on the
evening of July 16th by the party of
young people who gathered at the pret
ty cottage presided over by Mrs. Flum
merfelt, for the purpose of a social
game. The guests came trooping
along the woodsy paths with lan
terns. which put the Are flies quite
out of business for a time snd after
ward suspended amid spruce boughs
from walls and ceilings shed light on
the bent heads of the devotees and
gave a quaint charm to the sylvan
decorations. There were four tables
of playets, but as to kho won or who
lost this chronicle sayeth not. Cer
tainly much merriment prevailed and
the fruit punch dispensed by Miss
Kthel. daughter of the house, al
though wanting some of the Inererti
ents decreed necessary in more urban
1 circles, lacked not frequent and appre
ciative [atronage.
Deep sea fishing continues the prince
of sports for those who love an open
boat on a rolling sea. a wide arch of
sky above and the excitement of ang
ling in unplumbed depths for fish of
I varied kinds and weights.
During the past week seveial par
ticularly successful parties brought in
such bountiful supplies that the mar
ket became glutted and the local fish
dealer in despair. A sextette from the
Chisholm contingent and the Hopkins
party from the Rockmere being con
spicuously favored in the size and
quality of their catch. For the bene
fit. however, of those who have not yet
tried their luck, we venture the pre
diction of the wise old saw, "There are
as gcod fish yet in the sea as ever
were caught."
Mr. H. B. Carter of Minneapolis,
who has been stopping at the Rock
mere this week, is en route to Winni
ng and Toronto, at one of whkh Ca
nadian ports, he expects soon to be
stationed. Mr. Carter conducts the
Journal (ailed The Notthwestern
Farmer, edited In the inteiesls of the
Canadian Pacific railroad. He h?s had
a large experience in Alaska In the
opening up of the territory and was
lor nve years agent at Hong Kong.
Mr. Colburn. also at the Rockmere,
and greatly enjoying his stay on IJt
tlejohn's. came direct from the Isles
of Shoals, where he had been attend
ing the 11th session of the Unitarian
convention. Mr. Colburn repo ts most
interesting meetings with average au
diences of 500 people and such able
speakers to be heard as the Rev. J. F.
Sunderland of Hartfordfl Piof. Nathan
iel Schmidt of Cornell. Rev. C. F.
Dole of Jamaica Plain.
Mr. and Mrs. Carleton Hicks on
pleasure bent started up towards Ban
gor Wednesdav last. They were
caught In the intense heat which pre
vailed everywhere at that time and
wisely took to the river, sailing down
the Penobscot to Rockland, from
thence to Portland, and so on to Llt
tlejohn on Friday morning.
Mr. O'Brien of Allston cottage, who
belongs to th* Boston order of Blks.

The Nordeck belongs to the Mosquito
fleet of South Boston. Mr. Horton as
skipper has had many exciting cruises
with her and can relate experiences by
sea and flood that hare all the flavor
of W. Clarke Russell's tales. He is
soon going to Boothbay with the Nor
deck for a three days* trip.
At Alpine cottage the past week has
been a busy one.
The Chlsholms have been entertain- 1
ing Mr. and Mrs. Geo. T. A. Sulli
van of Dorchester, and in the few
days of their stay have crowded pieas
urings galore. On Tuesday it was a
sailing trip among the islands with
Capt. Sawyer's "The Polly." On Wed
nesday a cruise through the harbor in
a motor launch, finishing up the eve
ning at the new bowling alleys on Che
beague.
Thursday evening there was a musi
■cale at the Melrose with piano and
vocal selections by individual mem
bers of the party and a finale of pop
ular airs by the entire company. On
Friday Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan left for
home with many expressions of de
light over the beauty of the place and
the variety of pleasure to be obtained
here. Their idea now is that a cot
tage at IJttlejohn. just on the water
front, would be the best possible in
vestment for a summer home.
Mr. Joseph Reddy of Roxhury with |
his family are located once more at
their comfortable and sightly cottage. J
Mr. Reddy is to be congratulated on
the location cf his hnuse. From no |
part of the island is there a mere ex- |
tended or more l>eautiful view.
Mr. Chas. H. Chute and family and
Mli>s Florence L. Munroe, all of I
Northampton. Mass.. are at the F. C.

Miss Barnes 2nd Miss Tobey opened

Mr. Henry W. Bird of the firm of
Jtseph M. Herman & Co., shoe manu
facturers. has been stopping at the
Roc km ere for the past week. Mr. Rird
returns to large responsibilities occa
sioned by the absence in Europe of the
senior member of the firm.
The extension of the set vice of the
N. E. Telephone Co.. from Peak's Isl
and to other points down the bay Is a
matter of great Interest to all the
summer colony on the Islinds in
question.
While Llttlejohn Is not mentioned in
the published report, yet It Is hardly
conceivable that It will be omitted
from the benefit of such widely ex
pended plans, as It Is In direct line
between Chebeague and Cousins, both
of which islands are links In the chain
of pay a'atlons from the Cape to Yar
mouth with Portland as a centre. It
Is thought possible that by next sum
mer the entire bay service will be In
stalled, a consummation devoutly to
be wished.

Sermons in the Library.
Id the Congressional Library are sis
alcoves and 124 shelves filled with vol
umes of printed sermons, making a
total of about Ave thousand volumes,
more or less. Most of them are old and
out of print. As Mr. Spofford says,
the publication of sermons has gon*
out of style. The first book on the first
shewf In the first alcove contains a
colletcion of Lyman Abbott's sermons,
delivered from the pulpit of Plymouth
Church. Brooklyn, and published under
the title "The Life That Really Is."
Tho last volume on the last shelf In
the last alcove Is a ponderous tome,
bound In pigskin containing the homi
lies of sn Italian monk named Zuccolo,
on "The Divine Evangelists."
The librarians say that Phillips
Brooks Is read more than any other
sermonlzer. Rabertson, an English
preacher at Brighton, comes next, and
then Beecher. Spurgeon. Charles
Kingsley and Professor Swing.—Wash
