Ocean Front Upon Round Porcupine, Lafayette National Park.
(Prepared by the National Geographic
Society, ..ashington, D. C.)
Lafayette National park, on Mount
Desert island in Maine, is one of the
latest parks to be created by the fed
eral government, and is the only na
tional park in the East. But if young
in its status as a park, it is physically
one of the oldest parts of America.
Its granite mountains were standing
out against the ice and frost, the rains
and waves, millions of years before
the Rockies and the other 'ranges of
the West had risen above the prehis
toric seas that covered that part of
the continent. It is the peak of the
Atlantic coast-line of the United
States—the one spot on the eastern
coast south of the St. Lawrence where
what may truly be called mountains
meet the sea.
It Is appropriate that the national
pal’k on Mount Desert island should
be named for a great Frenchman, for
the French played an important part
in the earliest history of the island.
It was the first land to be approached
and named—“Isle des Monts Deserts”
—in the earliest recorded voyage of
exploration made along the coast of
Maine to the east of Kennebec. Cham
plain sailed down this unknown coast
in September, 1G04, passing isle and
headland until he saw rising boldly
ahead the range of the Mount Desert
hills with their bare rock peaks and
deep, ice-gouged, dividing valleys. Feel
ing that he had come upon something
worthy of closer examination, he an
chored in what has since been called
Frenchman’s bay, a fide body of water
that .lies between the island and the
shore to the east. By making friends
with the Indians, Champlain laid the
foundations the following day for the
French colony which was later to oc
cupy the island.
The fame of the beautiful Isle des
Monts Deserts was carried back to
France, but it was not until 1013 that
an opportunity was found to settle
there the proposed colony. The little
ship which brought to Mount Desert
its load of colonists with their seed-
grain, food supplies, implements and
live-stock, has been called “the French
Mayflower.” The voyagers landed on
the east coast, not far, perhaps, from
the site of Bar Harbor. Later they
moved to the shores of a cove on the
south side of the Island.
Unfortunately, “the French May
flower” was not destined to be respon
sible for a permanent settlement as
was its British counterpart. After the
colony had lived only a few years, a
British fleet came and wrecked it.
Permanent settlement was first begun
from the American colonies in 1761.
Entire Island Not in Park.
Mount Desert island lies off the
Maine coast in about the latitude of
Minneapolis and St. Paul, and is some
300 miles northeast of New. York. It
has many indentations, but may be
roughly described as 15 miles long
and 12 miles wide. It is connected
with the mainland by a bridge utiliz
ing an island in the narrows.
Lafayette park does not embrace
the entire island. The town of Bar
Harbor, an important summer resort,
is situated on the eastern shore of the
island, and numerous privately owned
estates and resort villages nestle in
coves along the coast. The park does
contain, though, the greater part of
Mount Desert’s outstanding feature,
the range of granite mountains, In
places rising above 1,000 feet, which
stretch across the island. Excellent
ocean-side drives are all about this
rugged peak; and over its hills and
along its sheer cliffs and smooth
domes have been constructed paths
and iron ladders in order that the
climber may reach its vantage points
and enjoy its views of the mingled
mountain and sea scenery, a comblna-
reservation.

All lovers of birds and plant life
can find an interest in Lafayette Na
tional park aside from its beautiful
scenery and the climbing it affords.
It is wonderfully fitted to be a great
nesting and feeding ground for both
land and water birds. This is true,
too, of course, of the adjoining islands
and coast. So numerous are the in
dentations that the tide washes fully
2,500 miles of shore from Casco Bay
north to Canada. All along the coast
are to be found extensive flats and,

tributes to the growth' of fixed vege
table and animal forms. In this way
Nature really sets a gigantic table for
the birds.
Bird Life Sadly Depleted.
But unfortunately private control of
many of the islands and coast flats,
and more or less promiscuous shoot
ing and nest destruction have greatly
depleted the bird life along the Maine
coast until now only a pitiable rem
nant is left of the flocks observed by
early explorers. One of the results
looked for by the creation of the La
fayette park and the extension which
it is believed It will undergo, is the
protection of bird life, and the gradual
restoration of larger flocks.
This matter of bird protection at
Mount Desert is made easier by the
fact that perhaps no other area in the
northeast in the line of important mi- j
grations is better fitted to grow a \
great variety of fruiting plants for j
bird food. On the exposed portions i
of the islands, bo.th headlands and
bogs, are found numerous species of
plants typical of the regions of „ the
north, including the Arctic. And in
sheltered nooks are scores of plants
that there reach their extreme north
ern limits—plants of the southern
coastal zone. Finally the soil types
are varied so that both plants of acid
and of basic areas thrive. Nearly
every food plant, then, known to birds
in northern or central regions, either
grows or can be grown on Mount
Desert island.
Just as Lafayette National park dif
fers from the western parks in sur
roundings and type of scenery, so it
differs in origin. When the era of
national park creation came, the fed
eral government owned vjist stretches
of mountain and plain and valley in
the West, and was able to select that
which was most picturesque and mere
ly designate it as public playgrounds.
But all public lands in the East had
long since passed into private hands,
and for several decades there were no
eastern parks. The unique beauty of
Mount Desert island led persons famil
iar with it to feel that it would be
the ideal eastern park. An association
of private individuals was formed and
tract after tract of the rugged hills of
the island were purchased. These were
tendered to the national government in
1916, and In 1919 congress passed an
act accepting the land and creating
the park. It is contemplated that other
tracts will be added from time to time
until eventually a large part of the
mountainous island will be a federal

THE WEDDING
"A thing of custom—'tis no other,’’—
Shakespeare.
«T AM about to be married,” Is the
way one correspondent starts her
query, “but we have not announced
our engagement, as we wish to give
our friends a genuine surprise. We are
going to slip off some day soon and get
married, but want to send wedding
cards. Will you kindly tell me how
they should be worded?”
To begin with, do not attempt any
thing original or informal. It is quite
all right to announce an engagement in
an original way, but the wedding an
nouncement should be entirely formal.
In most cases the announcements
should be sent out lu the name of the
bride’s parents, or those who stand in
the place of a parent in case the bride
is as orphan, or an aunt, uncle or
grandjjfii^t. If possible, have these
annouacements engraved and send
them out the day of the marriage as
soon as it is over. Have all envelopes
addressed and stamped and ready to
send out directly. All announcements
should be sent at exactly the same
time. Here is the usual form :
Mr. and Mrs. John Brown
have the honor to announce
the marriage of their daughter
Anne
to
Mr. James Smith Jones
on Thursday, May the eighth
nineteen hundred and twenty-two
at St. Thomas’ church
New York.
If It is a grandparent, sister or broth
er whose name need not be the snine
as the bride, then in place of the single
word Anne, on the fourth line should
be inserted “Miss Anne Brown.”
In the unusunl event that the con
tracting persons have no near relatives
to send these announcements they may
send an announcement worded thus:
Mr. James Smith Jones
and
Miss Anne Brown
have the honor to announce
their marriage
on Thursday, May the eighth
etc.
If you do not feel that you can af
ford engraved announcements the best
thing to do would be to write letters
on the day of the wedding, to be post
ed immediately afterwards, telling
your nearest friends of the event, but
THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
“JUBILEE”
'T' HOUGH a number of ety-
mologists maintain that tills
word is derived from the Latin
jubilare, to shout for joy, its
pedigree really antedates the
birth of the Latin language,
going back to the Hebrew, where
we find the word yobel, mean
ing literally the blast of a
trumpet, and by extension, the
year of jubilation which was an
nounced by this trumpet.
According to the law in Levit
icus 25, this was an epoch
of general restoration and
emancipation, celebrated every
fifty years, when liberty was to
be proclaimed throughout the
land with the blowing of trum
pets in the synagogue. During
this jubilee year the land was
not tilled, all lands that had
been sold were returned to their
original owners or their heirs,
and all bondsmen of Hebrew
blood were liberated.
The Christian church adopted
the term from the Jewish, and
in turn, a number of secular gov
ernments took up the Idea, the
jubilees of George III and
Queen Victoria being two of the
most famous in modern history.

wording them as you would any other
friendly note. It is a good idea to
send an announcement to the society
editor of your local paper also, because
the chances are that the paper will get
news of the event, and surely you
want to do everything in your power
to make their notice of the event ac
curate.
There is no reason why any one who
wishes to do so should not have this
quiet sort of marriage without a pre
viously announced engagement; how
ever, the fact is that society girls sel
dom do, nor do persons who occupy a
rather high position socially, unless, of
course, there is parental objection and
the event is in the nature of an elope
ment.

When I see the lilies blow;
When I watch the roses bloom
With their beauty and perfume;
When at dawn I see the Light
Rise triumphant from the night;
When I note the golden yields
Of the autumn harvest fields;
When I hear the birds hard by
Singing, winging through the sky;
When I hear a Mother’s song—
Even with Its wealth of wrong
This old world appears to be
Fairly good and sweet to me.

WOODDY’S BATTLE
T ITTLE WOODDY CHUCK found
himself one day all alone in the
big world, for his mother had put him,
with his brothers and sisters, out of
their home, and told them they must
look out for themselves.
Mrs. Woodchuck is not a very lov
ing mother—not at all like Mrs. Fox,
who takes the greatest care of her
children, or Mrs. Possum, who often
is bringing up two families at the
same time.
And so it happened that little Wood-
dy Chuck found himself looking for a
home one day when Le was quite
young.
He was not at all afraid, because he
had never seen a dog or a gun; so he
hunted around and found a place to
make a new home. Now, wood
chucks are not very hard working ani
mals; so, when Woody had finished
his home he went inside and stayed
until the next day, when the sun was
nice and warm, for woodchucks are
very fond of sunning themselves.
For a long time Wooddy Chuck
thought the world was a very nice
place. The garden was near, and of
course he thought all the vegetables
were grown for lii3 use; so lie ate all
he wanted.
But one day he had a rude awaken
ing, ffor Mr. Dog saw him, and after
him he ran; but as Wooddy is a good
runner, he easily reached his home
•head of Mr. Dog and turned around
Droppmjhis tail, he ranfor home.
in the doorway to cnuviue suucilj at
poor Mr. Dog. But Mr. Dog went
right up to the door and began to dig,
and pretty soon Wooddy knew that he
would have to move, or the chuckling
would be done by Mr. Dog this time.
So Wooddy Chuck began to burrow,
filling up the hole as he went and
keeping ahead of Mr. Dog, who kept
right on digging, for he knew Wooddy
must be in there somewhere.
Wooddy Intended to make an open
ing when he was far enough away
from Mr. Dog; but, to his surprise,
he came against a rock, which seemed
to held him prisoner, and It was then
he found out he had good, sliurp teeth.
Dog kept right on digging, and
coming closer and closer, Wooddy
Chuck knew then he would have to
fight to save himself; so he waited,
and just as the end of Mr. Dog’s nose
came through the earth, Wooddy set
his sharp teeth in it with „o much
force that Mr. Dog did not stop even
to say good-by, he just backed out,
ki-yfclng loudly, and, dropping ills tail,
lie ran for home, stopping every now
and then to rub his hurt nose.
Wooddy Chuck came out, and, sit
ting up on his hind legs, he looked
about and chuckled again. “I thought
Mr. Dog was going to laugh this time,”
he said, “and if I had not found how
long and sharp my teeth are, I know
he would. I really must take good
care of my teeth, for I have learned
today that they are useful to me in
other ways than eating. And now 1
must find a place to make a new home,
for Mr. Dog has certainly wrecked this
one.”

y/C'* and lucky jewel
VIVIAN
'T'HE charming name of Vivian is al-
most the equivalent of the adjec
tive “vivacious.” It means lively, hav
ing been derived from the Latin vita
signifying life, t.nd was used by the
Roman Christians to express their
hopes of eternity.
The first feminine name formed
from vita is Vivia, a name made fa
mous by Vivia Perpetua, the noble
young matron of Carthage, whose
martyrdom is one of the most touch
ing histories of the early church. Her
many votaresses gave vogue to her
name.
In later Roman days Viviana came
to be popular through a Christian
maiden of that name who was put to
death by a Roman governor on the
charge that she had destroyed the
sight of one of his eyes by magic.
Much later a church was erected over
her remains. Her fame and name lin
gered, and appears prominently again
in “Morte d’Arthur” when Viviannajs
the enchantress of King Arthur’s
court.
Scotland took ver the name of
Vivian, applying it as both a mascu
line and feminine name. France adopt
ed the masculine form as Vivien and
straightway formed the now-popular
feminine Vivienne. England has al
ways favored Vivian and America re
ceived and popularized the name un
der that spelling. Viviana is the .fa
vored form in Spain and Italy, the lat
ter country still employing the early
Roman Vivia.
Vivian’s talismanic gem is the life-
giving ruby. Its inextinguishable flame
promises her dauntless courage, bodily
health and strength, and dispels evil
spirits. To dream of it signifies unex
pected guests. Friday is her lucky day
and three her lucky number. The lily,
signifying purity, is her flower.
