that the summer journeyer is glad TO so

Of the journey, which make the coming

And nobody can tell how much more zest
there is in life because Of these frequent
changes. He who goes away gets his
change in place and scene. Perhaps he
burns his nose, gets sand in his shoes,
and loses his temper thrice day. No

he did not have before.
