About the first of June, said one of the
beauties of that period. I'VE used to leave
town for our country place, where for a
month my sister and l would regularly
loaf'-reading novels driving about more
or less, but with no oetdoor interests to
speak of, our chief solace and occupation
being the renovation of our wardrobes,
preparatory to the July and August sea-
son, which we passed either at Saratoga
or Sharon. A dressmaker would come up
from town. and for several weeks there
would be cutting and fitting and trimming
and planning until our huge Saratoga
trunks would be packed and ready for ex-
odus. At the springs our life would be
always the same In the morning we in
variably wore white wash cambria, fresh
one every day. and really looked very nice
for breakfast in the big hotel dining room.
1t was dawdling meal, which was to be
had at any time between 8 and 10, and
afterward we young people would walk
TO the springs without attendant SWANS,
while our mammas sat on the broad YER
andas doing fancy work and gossiping. Or
we would drive about In our low basket
phaetons, which our voluminous skirts
filled up to ths top like a big basket from
the laundry full of clean petticoats. About
l o'clock we would have a cup of tea or
glass of wine with some cake. and after
ward would retire to our rooms for rest
preparatory to the grand business of the
day-the elaborate toilette for the o'clock
dinner. Fancy what barbarous hour in
the dog days! This toilette would consist
of dlaphanous-looking garments of or
candle or muslin, deliberately trimmed
with lace; silk or open work stockings and
tiny little wafer-soled slippers-in fact. an
evening dress altogether, quite unsuitable
for the hot midday repast. A hair-dresser
usually lived in the hotel, and went about
doing the heads of those who had no eX-
perienced maid, for the heads Of the day
were exceedingly elaborate, involving
rats and false hair ad libitum. After
dinner on the big hotel verandas promen-
aiding was the order of the day. Engage

after which a cold tea was served. Then
came another change of dress and hop

festivities l cannot imagine one OF my
girls standing this sort of life or enjoying
IL. And certainly the active, outdoor ex-
istence they lead in shirt and skirt, re-
serving their elaborate toilettes for late
dinner, is far more healthful and sensi-

Women. saws the Ladies' Home Journal,
have various degrees of liking for the
fumes OF tobacco smoke. To some 1t is
utterly reprehensible; others have Ger

will tell a man that they are really fond
Of the fumes of a good cigar, or that
thew have been seasoned and do not
mind smoke. II the majority of women
we're TO be truthful about the matter men
would find, 1 think, that they have only
a certain educated tolerance for it, base

hearts and homes like to smoke, and SO

In short. women tolerate tobacco smoke,
