THE Clintons aren't coming to Martha's Vineyard, but the Danielses are. Helen and Everett Daniels are good friends of mine from Washington.

Everett called me in the spring to say that he wanted to rent a large house on the Vineyard.

How large?" I asked.

Uirge enough to accommodate everyone in the family — our live kids and their guests who all say that they are dying to come."

I called an agent, and she found a lovely seven-bedroom place overlooking the ocean, which cost $5,000 a month. The price didn't bother Everett because, as he said. "You only go around Cape Cod once."

As soon as he signed the lease, Polly, the Danielses 16-year-old announced that she was going to a dude ranch in Colorado tq lie with her best friend. Steve, their 18-year-old told his parents that he was going camping In Canada for the summer and not to count on him visiting the Vineyard for more than two days.

Lucy, who had a boyfriend named Terry, said. Terry and I don't want to be around the family that much. We re going on vacation In Ocean City where nobody will give us a hard time because we want to stay in the same room."

Everett saw the number of occupant* of the Vineyard House dwindling fast. At dinner that evening he said. 'Tm spending a lot of money on this place, and now only Cameron and Lila 'are coming."

Tin not coming Dad." Cameron announced. "I got a Job running errands for a law firm, and it's a great opportunity for the time when I finish college."

So now the only person left is Ula." sighed Helen. Ula declared. I want to go to camp."

You told us that you didn't want to go to camp." Everett yelled.

That was Iretore I heard about Martha ’■ Vineyard." "Maybe we can get our money back." Helen said Everett was determined Tm going no matter what the rest of the family is planning You and I will have a good time. Helen, and we ll Anally get some peace and quiet "

Helen looked at him nervously

What I* It? Say whatever a on your mind said Everett

I was Just wondering — if none of the Children Is com ing. maybe it would be a good time to visit my mother in Seranton.
