been content to make a few calls, do a lit
tie shopping, drive after dinner, and when
evening comes find a seat where breeze
renders the air cool and refreshing. Thus
evening passes with reading and social con-
verse. The season is at hand when people
who look TO the lakes as a place where a
portion of the summer months are to be
passed, busy themselves with preparations
for creature comforts. Not only must a
Harder be supplied, with the appurtenances
thereto, such as tableware and other means
of setting forth a meal, but sleeping accom-
modaTions must be provided. Those who
have never made these preparations can
but family realize the thousand and one
things necessary to render life tolerable
where all the surroundings of luxurious
home are wanting. There is a vast differ
ence between cottage life at a Minnesota lake
shore and the same at an old and perma-
nently-eStabliShed watering place in the
East. AT the former the season is Short
barely extending over a fourth part of the
year. In the East, though most summer
houses are built of wood, they are very pre-
tentiouS, rivaiing, in many instances,
the elegant city mansion OF a merchant.
A similar difference in the toilets worn at
the Eastern and Western summer resorts
exists. In the West few weeks passed at
cottage affords an opportunity to wear
out garments considered unsuitable for
street or house wear i'll the city. And
why not? Sailing riding over dusty roads,
swinging in hammockS. PLAYING tennis and
other ways of passing the time are not good
opportunities for the display of fine toilets
II one wishes them to retain that character.
At the Eastern resorts from three to six
changes of toilet per day are considered alb
solutely essential to make a respectable APP
pearance. Garments must be of the finest
material, made by the most fashionable
tailor. In fact, the Eastern summer re-
sorts have come to be the place where mar
riageable daughters are exhibited in all
their loneliness, to captivate the hearts of
men. And celibacy is said to be ON the III
crease in the East.
