A LIGHT OUTFIT.
"Wat was your OUTFIT"
Gwen we started from Sammy
side, UT house iD st. Johns Wood
we e:h took a small black bag il
our ands, bat we soon had tC
givehose mp. Afterward we haC
absoltely nothing but a night
gowI and a macintosh each
Their was one brush and one cont
for yself and all the children
We ,aIly couldn't carry more than
the asst possible quantity of lug
gag you know. Tea-my husband
is sfond OF a good cup of tea--sC
we earried eur tea all the way from
Loton and We had a kettle, too
onof those fat ones to boil over a
spit lamp itself. And, of course
thOaby, being a young baby and
fec on the bottle, obliged us to
cay a tinIcan OF milk"
How did you manage? And,
byhe way, what was your fare 7"
We had very light fare. AS
son as we got into the north OF
Egland we always had pOrridge
ft breakfast. We never had much
nat. On the only two occasions
ven we had a really good dinner
found we could not walk after
ards. We had eggs and milk
id bread and butter to any
mount. The meat we had was al
ost entirely timed meat, which
Q bought, with bread, in the
bwn or village in a morning, and
arried with us till we came to a
nitable place for dinner. We had
timer IN the open air always.
Then for tea we had just to call at
! cottage and get a kettle of water
md the use of tea things, which
hey we're always glad to supply us
With for a shilling"
PREVENTING SORE FEET.
"Of course the trouble was
,oots,' Mrs. Aston continued. "We
we're recommended all sorts of Shy.
-ienic soles' and everything, and
W. had to give them all up. We
ave up boots altogether and took
o sand shOes'-canvass shoes
With india rubber soles. Those al
Ow the feet to 60 anyhow they like /;
here is no pressure, and we found
hem admirable. We never got
listers or sore feet or anything.
We used to soap our toes and heels
nd the insides OF our stockings
efore we started that is a very
ood thing. Then as to washing
'e could not possibly stop to have
verythlng washed at the inns and
'laces, so the way we managed our
was to have one thing
Iashed each night. We found we
ould always get one thing washed
nd quickly got up, and 80 we had
lean things without the trouble of
arrying any with u.s."

ity man, neighbor of ours in
london, asked me before we
tarted 'HOw many umbrellas are
on gong to take?' and when |
eplied, mot one he was perfectly
Iorrlhed it made him quite i'll.
But, though the weather was very
,ad in England, we did very well
Without. In the first part of the
lme we walked IN our mackintoshes
nd hats that the rain would not
urt. Of course, it was very mud
y >; and, what with the mud and
be rain and the sun, our dress got
nto such a state we were quite
shamed of ourselves; and on Sat
rday nights we had to stop some
there and buy flowers or some
tile frllling or something to
righten up our hats to go TO
hurch in next morning. Bot we
ever had colds, in spite of having
o umbrellas, and though we had
great deal of gray cold weather
hat people complained of, we
