How 10 be Comfortable.

Play Croquet; it's the proper game
now. 1t is not violent exercise
but heaIthful. Then battle, using
Lana Oil Soap, good for the blood
and skin. Then take a snooze in q
nice big hammock keeping cool with
big palm fan. If you can't go to
sleep, read either Munsay's, Godey's
McClure's, Cosmopolitan, Century,
Harper's, Black Cat or any other
good magazine. Beard, the station
err, can supply you with any or all
of these accessories, which will pass
comfortably any summer afternoon.
