On the box seat of the Aquidneck one

Miss Edith Wetmore wore a charming

young married woman attracted perhaps
the most attention of all in the gale olive
muslin, bordered with old blue and worn
with a pointed crimson jacket with rows
ofoid silver buttons. Her bat was an
olive straw with crimson roses and silver
ribbons.
Among the cottagers who waited for
the starting OF the coach, the assemblage
OF whom Is greater every day, the prettiest
frock in evidence was q white pon0ee
dotted In scallet and trimmed with white
cnl1on. The leg o. mutton sleeves had
white caps, and a scarlet belt ribbon
matched The streamers of the white
chiffon hat, with its full lace founces
almost ~obscuring the eyes.

very pretty, and the summers display OF
SOFT light silks with rich lace trimmings

falling from elbow to wrist. the corsage

Type with loose scarf folds crossing in the

Empire Wreaths III green and pink. The
skirt was finished with pink crepe rou-
leaus caught with rosettes and the bodice
Was low cut with a pink crepe yoke n a
pink ribbon at the waist.
The Country Girl.
Winter evenings are 81 dull and there
are so few amu5ements for girls in the
country that / always dread when the
boarders CO." said a farmers daughter to
city girl who had been boarding in the
sleepy old farmhouse since early June.
III L only lived in the city, as you do,
where there are public libraries, concerts,
theatres, great churches n the big
shops that are like great oazaars open all
the time, then, indeed. l would be happy"
She Went in with a great sigh as she
helped the envied one to fold up her ging-
ham and muslin gowns and lay them
into the open trunk that was already
nearly FULL with its trophies n SOU
venirs OF woods and fields.
II think the country Is lovely" said
Miss FIyaway, as she gave an ecstatic hug
to the wooily puppy that was to go along
with her III Its wicker basket to her home.
You wouldn't like town a Bit il you
had to stay there when the thermometer
Is up to l0~0degrees and The sidewalks Just
~siZzle."
"Oh. don't object to the country In
summer, but you haven't an idea what it
is like in winter. There is always in books
a lot OF talk about nutting parties and
pairing bees, family reunions Il a num-
Der OF other things that never take place.
The truth Is that about November. IN
lesS there comes snow, the roads are SO
hard you jolt all to pieces going into
town. The halls are draughtY and some
member of the family gets the rheuma-
tlsm. You see a neighbor about once a
week. and then If snow does come it is all
right while it lasts, but o haven't an
IDEA what the roads are like when 1t is
gone--mud up TO the hubs, made worse
by spring rains and wasnouts. and. after
what seems like two years, the grass COM
meuces to aDpear and summer comes"
oon Y JOO SfSI HdF0 any Luu dt All!
gasped the other, who was somewhat
taken back by such a dismal resume.
"Oh, yesl A church sociable once a
month, a drive, or an occasional going
u To tea. but they are SO few and far
between that they hardly count. 1t l
lived In a big city as You do, | should feel
rs though | were 10 heaven"
The,next day as tie train whisked the
towunred maiden through great stretches
OF forest and meadow land, eacn mile
bringing her nearer home, she gave a
little sigh for the girl she lie it behind her
in the desoiate iarm house that would
soon stand out bare and bleak among the
trees denuded of their foliage, and she
said aloud, II never fully appreciated my
advantages before"
