Al n hotel worthy Of tho name. and
still better, ut the little taverns whers the
landlord feels q personal interest in you
and will do anything in reason that he can
to make You comfortable and hapny, you
should have ne trouble in getting your
clothes washed. Not starehsd olothss, but
then you have no right to wear starohed
clothes. Dust and Precipitation will do
for them in no time. lell the landlord
that those clothes must be washed over
night, and furthermore. that thev must be
dried. Ii necessary, see the young woman
who is to do the washing and explain 10 her
that If hung next to q stove the objects will
dry quicker than they would In the dew.

before.
And speaking Of hotels, you will seldom
go anaiss If you put up At ths village tav-
ems in the regions l have spoken Of. The
fare is plain, but everything is right of the
farm. Things do not swim in grease. as
thsy do in the south, nor are they jaun-
the west. The beds are clean, and il you
fad yourself snoamped on one of those rel
los OF a past age. q feather mattress, You
can pull it off il the night is warm. The
hotels most to 10 avoided are tho second
best in small towns, and the p%retsntious
yet obtained the hsaitkful checks and slim
ulants Of opposition. People At q small re-
sort with only one hotel are usually ill fed.
At places like Niagara, Saratoga, Consy
Island, the Catskills and White mountains
you can get what you please and pay &C
cerdlngly. and the fall tourist has an ad-
vantage over the summer one in the re-

freedom from the clamoring, dancing, over
dressed, undcrbred company that crowds
them in hot weather.
Another advantage that the tourist claims
h hns deferred his outing until now is
the GOODNESS of tho air. This makes walk
clogging humidity, allowing it to d'ain
back to tho seas and ponds, clearing the at.
mosphers and revealing the outlines Of tho
mountains, the sparkle of the lakes and tho
gorgeous colorings of this woods. Even in
autumn there arc warm days, and one does
not ant to overdo matters. Tho best
times for walking are between daybseak
and noon, and between four o. m. and
night. Luxurious pedestrians loaf for a
While in the afternoon. but Others grow 40
fond Of out of doors that they cannot bear
to stay in the house except long enough to
eat and sleep. The walker who resolves to
make 30 many miles \ day. and nc more.
can perform his task in tho morning and
rest aud read for the remainder Of the time. !
or no can go all day at an easy gait. which
is better.
The route, the time to be spent OH it, the
thinRa of interest to be seen and omitted,
and the money it ia to cost should be
roughly averaged before leaving home; and
the names of towns where you will call for
your mil should be left with family or
that you may hear from Maria and
the baby at sufficient intervals. Another
don't part with your baggage.
