"A ND how much did they charge you for the tea? " That question seems to be crucial in some people's holidays, at least to judge by the letters they sometimes write to the papers about it. It is, of course, part of the general complaint of overcharging that one hears from time to time in the holiday season. There will always be some profiteering, I suppose. But is there enough to justify making a song about it? I do not believe there is. Consider this-and it is not politics but the logic and natural sequence of things-Ireland was the last beautiful country in Europe, or anywhere almost, to attempt a co-ordination of its travel, catering and general interests. That co-ordination takes time, patience and much experimentation. It cannot be whistled up in a year out of the long, long waste of a past in which order and co-ordination of travel and everything else hadn't a clog's chance, to put it familiarly and intelligently. That, of course, is no ultimate excuse Tea Lounge in a Western Hotel. for common cheating, i.e. overcharging in the present, hut it is an immediate explanation of it in many cases. o much for this general preface on the gentle art of cake and two fried eggs-no, the accusation is not alleged profiteering on tea and toast in Ireland to-day proven, as the Scots way would put it ! -spoiling the hotel for a haporth of tea!

The channel between Valencia Island and the main­ land is only a few hundred yards wide at the Western end. At the eastern cnd where the Cahirciveen rivcr reaches it, it is two or three miles broad but a chain of islands stretcher:! across this entrance to the channel protects it as effectively as a coral reef protects a lagoon. In the normal summer weather, therefore, there is no difficulty about crossing to the island. The village of Valencia on the point of the island almost opposite the month of the Cahirciveen river has a well built harbour and an excellent hotel. We found it a convenient centre for making excursions on foot over the hills in the interior of the island and for canoe trips to the little bay which is almost enc10secl by the Knight of Kerry's picturesque desmesne. On our return to the mainland we forwarded our canoe by train from Valencia Harbour station with a request-which was carried out-to have it sent from there by bus to Waterville.
