beautiful and spacious with a fine view from the
roof over both Winter Harbor and Frenchman's Bay.
The large divan in Mrs. Duff's room is spread with
a skin of a huge tiger with the head and grinning
jaws at the foot. This animal was shot by
Mrs. Duff's brother in the Andes of South America.

At about 3 o'clock I drove with a party up the
Gouldsboro Road. I went part of the way with Mrs.
Taylor and the rest with Mrs. Richmond and Nanna
Taylor in a buckboard. The others rode part of the
way and walked part of the way. We went to the old
wharf by the Bay and had a light lunch on the
grass under the trees close by the water with a
fine view toward Ironbound Island and Mount
Desert. In an adjoining cove a small flock
of five Gulls were fishing and picking up debris
from the surface of the water. A little after
they finished their meal and flew screaming over
the Bay. I drove home with May.

We dined this evening at Mr. & Mrs. Mapes and
had a very pleasant evening. Mr. Mapes'
son, a graduate of Columbia was there and also
Miss Moore.

I saw a young Warbler this noon fluttering
about on Mrs. Duff's piazza , hither & thither under the
roof, alighting at times on projecting points. It was
quite near it. It was plain gray above, wings gray
with prominent wing bars, two in number, under parts
white washed with yellow on throat and sides, and with
dark streaks rather indistinct on breast.
