Staying too Long in Friendly Visits,

One class of persons will ncel an es-
pecial amount Of gracethis summer. We
mean those womcn who, having worked
hard in their homes all winter are visited
by their city friends all summer. Per.
haps they have married the sons, who,
by fate of fortune, have kept the old
homes. All the brothers and sisters, with
their troops of children, must come back
to the shade trees and meadows for a quiet
rest. Perhaps they have no special love
for the woman who presideS over the old
time house, butt is such convenient
thing to have place to visit where there
are no board bills to pay. Ten to one, the
wife in the country is more worn than her
city relatives, and is in no wise able to
bear the extra care, or manage the ad-
dltional cooking. For force Of circum-
stances she has been drcs9maker, milncr
and servant, maybe, in her large family
the whole year through. She has turned
dresses wrong side out and upside down.
She has made every dime 90 its farthest,
And now the visitors have come to use
up all her self sacrifice has saved. 1t
might have been pleasant 10 have received
them for three days, but when they re-
main three months the case is different.
We once heard a gentleman remark that
he could say all the new things he had
to say to visitors in one day." and, as a
rule, we quite agree with him. The cheap.
est way to visit is to go to hotel or board
ing house, and pay an equivalent for what
one receives. OF course, one has congen
ial friends whom it is a pleasure to seek
much and often; but too many so'called
friends and persons who are serving their
own neutrality-suspicious. who never Of
