Tea, in the ball room, the carnage,
the house, let her who chooses wear d
1glong.skirted gow1l-no thing is more
1 graceful or more becoming to the
generality Of women but Tor walking,
as for all kinds of open-air exer else,
tennis, boating, riding, let her also
dress appropriately to the occasion;
Sand, above all, let women dress APP
propriately for exercise, enforced or
voluntary, in wet weather.-Bos

First Love.
Ask any very young lady what she
thinks OF "6rst love- and she will tell
you that it is the quintessence Of all
that is ecstatic, compared with which
any so-called love that may come
| ialterit must beas sky blue skinned
milk to clothed cream. Put the same
question to an enamored young gentle
man of l8, and he will VOW that it is
the champagne of humane existence,
to which all subsequent emotions dig
nltied with the ,nameof love are mere
Jersey cider But the mature Of both
sexes, in nine. cases out OF ten, can tell
a. different story. Boy-and girl love is
but a faint shadow of'the intense pas
sion which often overcomes and en-
thralls the dle-aged. -.
The capacity for loving is not fully
developed iii the young miss who has
just cast aside her dolls, nor in the
youth whose chin is but newly &C
quainted with the razor. The enthu-
siasm OF these ,novices in the tender
passion is generally evanescent,. OF
course, there are exceptional cases,
but, as a general. rule, love does not
take firm root in the heart before the
age OF 25. Professions of undying de-
Totlon from young men of 10 or 20
ore rarely to be trusted. The ques-
ton which a lady who receives an offer
OF marriage should consider is not
merely whether she has won the affec-
lions other admirer, but also whether,
if won, she can keep them. To have
and to hold aretwo things.-F,rom the
New York Ledger.
Next Summer Read This.
1t may save you many hours of
mental anguish and physical. suffering.
1t is bad enough to be ten miles from
g lemon, but it is worse to be ten
miles srom everything necessary to
Support life except air. Unless you
have learned to subsist on that I'M
substantial commodity you will do
well to take: .-l.
One or more cans of prepared cocoa.
A tightly covered tin can of finely
ground coffee.
Several cans of condensed milk.
A small oil stove.
A small granite saucepan.
A French coffee pot.
A few boxes OF matches.
Some jars of ported meats.
A goodly supply of thin wafer bis
cult.
A few jars of nice jam or MARINA
lade.
Two or three cups and saucers and
plates.
This much, at least, for the commits
sary department.
Then you will want a pair of warm
rose blankets for every bed you ex-
pect to occupy. Ii you are luxurious
ly inclined and object to Jacobs
stone pillow, take with you a pillow
OF down. A comfortable rocking chair
that will neither squeak nor pitch you
forward at an angle of forty-fve de-
grees. Books and magazines for your
self and plenty of literature for the
children. Games for rainy days. A
plentiful supply of writing paper,
pens, lead pencils and Theoretically
sealed and well packed bottle of ink.
A blunt-pointed pair ofscssors for the
children's use.
Going to the country is one of the
cases where it is absolutely necessary
to provide for rainy day. You are
safe in counting on rainy weather
5hrough two-thirds of August and
one-third of September.
A pin-cusllion and your own toilet
soap and towels are so much a mat
1er OF course that l need not suggest
;hem.
