They live a happy carefree life. Old FortChristian blows a horn at 7 o’clock every morning, and up the people get. They wake up fresh and clear-eyed, none of those languid billious mornings in this sunny land. From his hilltop window he gets a view of the town and harbor. In the distance i he can see the sails of the fishing fleets, ready for an early catch. He then enjoys a leisurely breakfast which is served in the walled garden. The perfume of the flower gardens drift by on the wings of the trade winds. The palm trees move slowly in the breeze. He then enjoys a leisure ly smoke, there is plenty of time. The word hurry is never mention ed. The office is only five minutes a\vay—down ninety-nine steps. The ninety-nine steps are boarded with high walled gardens, over which the perfumed fragrance drifts. After luncheon comes the most delightful part of the day—the siesta. Four-thirty is the end of the business day. Then almost ev eryone is ready for a swim. Swim ming is the favorite sport. Here, one may bathe without any of the noise, confusion or clutter which makes American seaside resorts seem repulsive. There are no hot dog stands or pedlers. But there Iare long beaches of cool coral sand, sloping to the clear water that ripples along the beach There is no surf. To a real swim mer, the surf is a nuisance. It pushes and batters him. It stuffs his ears and nose with sand. The beaches are perfect for swimming. Thre are many places of escape into the country of Charlotte Am. alie. Just a glance at the hills show the way. Up the ninety-nine steps, and on up into the hills and we find the Mafolie church. It has a great stone tower and bel- ] fry, white-washed walls, and red tin roof. Insid the mahagony wood work gleams with soft, lustre. The trade winds whisper a benediction as they blow through the win dows. It makes one feel very close to God at Mafolie. The road is lin ed with the most magnificent ma hogany trees. Mafolie—Ma Folie—means “my folly.” It was named years ago by a Danish planter who had hoped of reaping the golden harvest from the crops. He was like many planters of the early days, he was determined to work his slaves to the verge of exhaustion in order to get a fortune from the soil within a few years and then sail back to Denmark. Beauty must have been a stranger to him, or he could never have named this paradise Mafolie. If he had been content with a little, the beauty of his plantation would have brought him contentment. If you crave detachment from the world, without complete iso lation, Mafolie is the place to go. It is like living on a permanently anchored cloud, gazing with satis, faction upon the town and harbor Mafolie will yield to your every mood. You can wander through the tree shaded path or loll at ease in the white summer house on the edge of the ridge. You can hear the mutedsounds of the town, and watch the boats in the har bor, a thousand feet below. A painter would despair of captur ing the beautiful color tones_it is better to leave it to the gallery of memory. If on earh there is peace beyond understanding, it may be found at Mafolie, away from the world and yet a part of it—surrounded by indescribable beauty. There are many mahogany trees on the Virgin Islands. One of the uses of the mahogany is that[ it is made into beds. No where, perhaps, are to be found more romantic beds. They are of huge size and made of mahogany with beautifully carved and turn ed posts. Every part of these beds is of rich-toned solid mahogany which is grown on the islands’ nurtured by the trade winds and fashioned by the hands of the ci tizens intorare objects of beauty | None of your gsmwood faked and j sta*ned to look like the real thing None of your petty veneers to crack and peel. It is impossible to travel any where on the islands without see ing impressive relics of bygone grandeur. Today the government is cooperating with a practical -ja aq-j qSnojin ‘s^tnsaj Sumous s’ forts of Governor Tiastie. There are great stone terraces, hand some gateways, beautifully pro portioned houses, most of them capable of restoration if there is SURPRISE PARTY Mrs. Lucinda Davis gave a love ly surprise pary, Monday evening June 23, for her daughter, Mrs. Bertha Jackson who celebrated her twenty-second birthday.

What a joy it would be to rebuild one of these handsome mansions, and live the life of an islander. St. John is the smallest of the three islands, some say it is the most romantic and the best loved. Strangers are rare. Occasionally some white people go there for a short vacation to refresh their souls in the quietude and peace. Aside from these visitors the is lands slumbers through the years, happy and forgotten- St. John i a treasure house for enchanting scenery, a treasure isle that flings richness and color to all who come under its spell. Not a wheel turns on St. John. There are no wheels, no automobile, nor anything that has a wheel. There are no roads. The donkey or walking is the only' means of transportation. Just be cause there are no wheels is no reason to believe that the know nothing about such things as street cars, railroads, trains or anything which has wheels. They do know but they like their peace ful and quiet way of living. If you are a novelist, or a philo sopher or pust an ordinary weary person, keen for a brief sojourn of forgetfulness, seek out St. John. It will pay you a thousand fold St. Croix is the largest of the three islands. Christianated, a pretty little town, made up of white-washed brick or stone hous es are built over the sidewalks and supported by picturesque Spanish arches. Where can one find a better place for a vacation? No lovlier yatching paradise exists. Fishing is good. Safe swimming and ex ploration beckons everywhere. Attempts are being made by the government to develop a tourist traffic. The beauty of the harbor alone is picturesque enough to bring tourists to th islands.
