pecial Correspondence OF Gazette and journal
New York. July S.-The timo has
ow come when lovely woman. having
tooped to folly in the way of leaving
verything too late, is searching fur
hummer place. She reads guidebooks
Ind sen,ls to all ths railroads for those
PAMPHLETS that describe cheap and
hasiy farmhouses. She answers adyer-
isements by the hundreds, and she is
willing to take everybody'e advice ne to
where she is to abide during tho long
hummer days. She is uncertain as to
phsther ii is the mounatin or sea air
That she wants. Sho clnims positive
contempt for big hotal. but nothing
will induce her to 90 into boarding
pouse. The kind Of place she wants is
\ q reality the one which is next door to
\ beayen absolutely the ideal.
\ In the first place. it must be near
\ nough the city for the father of tho
ribs to come out Friday evening and
emain until Monday morning. Then
/ must be tuo lar from the city for all
bne's poor relations to come down ana
! pend the day. The rooms must he
bomfortahle, and yet she doesn't pro-
pose TO pay the price that the landlord
: demands. She would prefer to he near
h lake, because she would like thu boys
! to learn tho difference between an eel
. land rattlesnale, aud yet she would
! liks to be far enough from the lake to
Hrrevent there being funeral 10 the
sfamily. She Wishes the boys to loHrn
Ito swim, but she has a sort of an idea
THAT in learning this accomplishment
, Nthey wonil better begin in tue bathuh.
4 Shs doesn't know that the little tikos
. have been swimming this many day
!, and that they lanrned in what might
y be- called practical faHhion-that ia to
:, eay, the biggest boy threw the Iittlest
u one in the water and warned him II he
Xdidn't swim to shore he would not only
drown, but get thrashing.
Then she would like an aristocratio
4 ighborhood-a neighb0rhood whore
Where are some nice young fellows who
: are likely to inherit some good old
NducniH--but il must be the sort of
place where aristocracy and shahbiness
go hand in hand, since on account of
|. the war she must economize, aud the
tIgirls have got to wear last season g
+ frocks fixed over Then sha feels as il
8 she had a longing TO get where she
!. would be free from the bondage of GER
d wants and able to eat her dinner US il
+ she were an independent woman. So
n she travels fore hours ON hot day over
y q dusty road only TO find that adver-
J, tisements do not always picture things
Q as they arc and that the country home
J. 60 beautifully described doesn't COM
y pare for GOODNESS with her own house
10 the city. Then she goes cavorting
u around trying to find resting place
where there is country air. Thank
M GOODNESS, you can have plenty of that
