GOING TO SPEND THE SUMMER.
One of the chief charms of going |
away for tho summer is the packing |
of trunks. Ny advice to every sensible
woman is this elf you bavc attached |

let this back breaking, thought'cOn.
Stunning business be conducted by him. "
Man In the abstract is worthless as far
as womans' clothes arc concerned, but
man, the individual, can go over your
belongings, pick out just what you
want and pack your trunk so that II
will lock. That is great victory. |
never saw trunk packed by woman
that would lock at the first call. Some
times it does, after the boys have
jumped on it, and the strap has been
drawn, but usually woman has to tip
an expressman to do the locking lie
first ties rope around the trunk, then
slams II on the floor and ten turns tho
key with scurn, and without trouble.
A woman nearly always knows what
she wants to take TO the country with
her but she doesn't place her proper
ties woll she knows she can't buy
the baby's timed food up country, and
so she wraps up innumerAble cans Of it
and lays them between Marian's or
CANDY frocks, because they do not make
heavy trunk. OF course the tins
leak, and Marian, who il Is, and OK
pecting to look like Il flower in these
organdy frocks doesn't quite wish the
baby hadn't been born, but does wish
that-well, anyhow, she wishes tho cans
hadn't leaked. She called them some
kind of cans, but hayo forgotten
what.
One Of the boys invariably reminds
you that, once you are in the country,
you have TO drive four miles to buy
ink, and that when you buy it it is
abominally pale. So beii, "a woman,
you joy in harmony, and in the trunl:
with the books and your husbHnd'a
half-tinished novel, goes the ink
Every man who lifts that trunkful Of
huuks swears until he is the color Of
lobster; and every man who swoars ut
that trunk throws it down huping to
smash it, But no man succeeds.
However, one of these gentlemen man
ages to break tho ink bottle, and the
novel reoks with dark tleels aud black
fluid. And everybody Is sorry
on NATURES MEADOWS.
Still everybody is in the country,
and no matter what ones woes are,
they lessen somehow whom ono looks at
the beautiful trees, realizes that the
grass extends further than the plot in
the backyard and drinks III tic air, so
full of good tastes. City air always
reminds me nf that perfume called
opopanax, tho combination Of which is
only known to the chemists and the
result Of which is only pleasing to a
rather depraved taste. II was once
whispered that opopanax wac made of
the tails OF little pigs boiled down, but
don't believe anything SO crude
could result in anything 80 complex.

gets microbes, dirt, various unpleasant
things in the wayof Vegetables flowers
and people who Gre moro or less de-
cadcnts, while in with the other things
comes that strong olor that always
permeates the ali when many people
breathe into it, In the country the air
tastes differently. 1t always reminds
me of cows breath; that smells Of
clover, suggests new milk and is alto
gothur dainty No after dinner cachu
was ever made that could give such d
perfume as this.
1t mover makes much difference when
you have Zig comfortable room to
sleep in and fields and groves to move
around in, what you get TO eat in tho
country. But II you are civilized, you
don't want to stay thcrc after the sum.
