I personally had I a nice success, which resulted in 1 Ograinsky's redoubling his efforts to improve my tumbling. He ro , sorted to his old habit of hitting me on the nape ol the nccK lo I Increase my speed, and I devel , oped chronic headaches that mode me so ill I was hardly able to got .' through the performance, i It was compulsory for me to hove a rest and for grandinama to take care of herself, too, so we met mother in Hapulln, on the Italian Riviera, where we stayed at the quiet, old-fashioned Hotel Nervi overlooking the bay and blue waters of the Mediterranean Bapallo is a favorite re;jrt for alngers who find the air and sun shine excellent for their throats. We had rooms opening on a private terrace with orange trees all around it, where gnindmumn Could bask in the sunshine with her three pet snakes. They were the oldest and best beloved of her reptiles, and it did not occur to us that there was anything very Odd in her having them. After a six-week stay in Ita pallo, we went to London. Mother decided to make o trip to Canada and see my father, partly for business reasons and partly to give my brother an Easter vacation, lie had Just finished the winter term at Beaumont College, the Catholic equivalent of Eton. ' Our party consisted of gnmd moma with her threo snakes In a clothes-basket "borrowed" from the Carlton Hotel In London, mother with a sable coat she had just bought on the installment plon, her bog of jewelry, a Spanish mold constantly seasick, myself, and my brother, very sulky on account of the snakes. Knit Bed Socks My father met us when the ship docked, and I noticed ti6w his face lit up when he saw mother. We went to the Chateau Front en tic, where he had taken a suite for us. 17VER since we had left London, there had been scenes about the snukes and their feeding equip ment which grandmama had handed over to my brother to take charge of. Now my brother refused to have anything to do with it. He was so rude to grand mama that she appealed lo my father to take him to task. Of course father did not enjoy the addition of the snakes and their livestock to our party and could appreciate my 'brother's point of view, but he really got angry when Bunnic (as my brother was nicknamed) complained bit terly that grandmama would not wear a hut, smoked cigars, and did not look like anybody else's grandmother, and he would not be seen with her. Grandmama was deeply hurt about my brother's being ashamed of her, for she was very fond of him and proud of tils good looks, but after this little upset she packed her things, Maid site was going oft by herself with her fnakes, and would meet us in New York for the return trip lo Eu rope. Mother took Bunnie's pari in the whole affair but oddly enough got it into her head that it was all father's fault that grandmama went wandering off alone, and that he had insulted her. She took my brother and j went to visit some distant cousins ' in Montreal, and I was loft with my father. He took me to Toronto, where ho had a house near the Uni versity, and 1 was happier than ever before. It was the first time ! I really got to know my own father.

All this was too good to last, and one day he received a frantic telegram from mother announcing that Buunie had Buffered a serious mo torcycle accident while out racing with some of the cousins they were visiting. He had a ruptured kidney and she was taking him to New York for medical treatment We started pocking immedlotely to join her there. Grandmama turned up In New York in answer to the letters we sent to her agents, and as soon 08 Bunnie was out of danger, mother announced she was taking him to Europe. I will always remember the day we left and the New York docks in the hot sunshine: my brother could not walk, so was carried to the ship on a stretcher, and father seemed unusually sad. f could not underrtand why he didn't come with us. We dlscmburked In Cherbourg and went on to Paris where my brother was first placed in a sani tarium in St. Cloud. He craved the sea, so mother decided to take house somewhere on tne coast of France for his convalescence. The place she rented, on the Is land of Guernsey, was once Vic tor Hugo's house where he wrote Toilers of the Sea." Mother had taken the house from a phony estate agent she had met, a bogus "count" of come sort, and everything was wrong with it. The lavatories wouldn t work, part of the staircase caved in, the drawing room walls were mildewed. And she kopt receiv ing incredible bills from the "count" for repairs. Finally father came over from Canada to see what was going on, his arrival coinciding with a no tice from a lawyer in Southamp ton that the house hod been bought the previous year from the Hugo estate by (lie government, to be used as a museum, and they could not understand how the agent managed to rent It to us. In the meantime, the "count" dis appeared with three months' ad vance rent and the check; lor the plumber.
