Twenty-BUD 36898 old, strong minded and independent mentally, but actually she was very dependent on her mother's pocketbook. Years of traveling an broad had not given her n breeder outlook on life even though her family had sent her abroad solely for this purpose. To climat it all, e telegram delivered on the train stating that her younger sister had married what Anne called We no good loafern hadnit softened her disposition a bit. As she stepped from the train in- to Grand Central Station and prepared to meet her sister, her mind was definitely made up. Anne, dear, UHew good to see you,n cried Barbara, as she wrapped her sister in e suffocating embrace. If Anne's response wds a bit cool, Barbara appeared not to notice it.

A cheery fire blazed inside but enormous granite fireplace. It made you want to stay near by, as the snow was similiar to that in nSkier's Heaven,' we started up the trail, rapidly at first, but slowing down as we went on. Up and up -- the trees on each side towering high above us, and the trail winding way beyond. We became warm. Colorful jackets and shirts were laid aside. By the time we reached the top, every- one was in his shirtsleevcs. On looking down one could.see a patt- ern of herringbone tracks -- it looked like embroidery. Penobscot Bay stretched forth on one side while on the other side we could see lakes, rolling hills, and what we thought to be the White Moun- taips. After admiring the view, we clamped on our skies and put on our jackets for a swift but cold trip down on snow which was un- breakable crust with powder snow. As I zoomed over a knoll I glance around and saw other skiers struggling on the way up. They gave more color to the landscape. An occasional rustic sign indicated different trails. One followed a pretty little brook all the way down to the lodge. I stopped on my trip down to drink frmn the stream. Being hungry, I skied all the way down to the lodge to eat. Food tastes expecially good when eaten before a roaring fire. The interior of the lodge is rough with benches and a table of logs around which everyone sat. After dinner vo talked over slci techniques, clothes, and other interesting things.

I know enough to make up my mind that any man who has to live with his w1fe's relatives because he can't afford to support his wife, is better off not married at all.N X By this time, the large white house was reached, and no more was said.
