THIS is the vacation season. MOST
townsmen have spent the past twelve
months within the brick and stone walls
of the city. Field and forest, hill and
valley, lake and seashore have existed
for them only in pleasing memories and
delectable anticipation. Now comes the
time of realization. The angler may Sc
lect the particular stream wherein his
special quarry waits his skill; the hunts |
man NAV choose his own preserve with
a reasonable expectation OF finding his
game on hand according to specifications.
The climber may pick his mountain, the
bather his beach, the artist his subject
and the invalid his sanitarium, without
fear OF disappointment. The vacation
spirit is awakened by the first hot days
of early summer, when the city mans
mind seeks soace from irritation in con-
templating the cool and refreshing joys
of the country. He scans advertisements
and timetables and overhauls his fish
ing tackle and hunting outfit, and takes
from the camphor chest his outing
clothing. And the fever is on.
A glimpse Of water recalls the river
bank, low lying and shaded, and the
rifle over whose shallow depths the
water runs swiftly. 1t is here the fish
feed at lise and set Of sun. He sees the
quiet MONDAY pool along whose soft bot
tom his prey moves laziIy, indifferent
alike to fly or worm, and he wants to 90
a-fishing. Or perhaps the sight of a
shaded lawn suggests the wooded hill
side where the pheasant makes its home,
, or the golden stubble where Bob White
runs with his mate, and he wants to 20
a-hunting. To the cycling vacationist
the pavement of the Boulevard loses
most of its delights during this prepara-
tory period. As he spins over its smooth
surface lodging his fellow wheelmen
and avoiding the OBTAINING truckman, he
thinks of the country road that winds
around the foothills, crosses the rustic
bridge and brings him to the roadside
inn at nightfall tired and happy. The
white sails of the pleasure craft, the
canvas-covered deck, the divaned cabin
are waiting for the salIorman these hot
days. There are regattas to be sailed
cruises to be made, luncheons to be
eaten, punches to be drank and the yachts
man walks to business with a roll, shifts
the air nautcally and scans the horizon
critically. He wants to 60 a-sailing
Eut maybe he is a fadless man, to whom
'outing'' only stands for ''rest," t.
whom the sea is only water and road
are only dirt. Perhaps he neither ride
nor drives, wheels nor sails, rows no
swims, fishes nor hunts, climbs no
tramps. All he may want are rest ant
change, comfort and peace. To such
man these are the days when ther
comes to mind the pleasant shores Of tn
lower Delaware, where the salt-tippe
grass is brown and the seaweed dies il
the sun at low tide. Such are some {
the city mans vacation dreams. Ma
they all be realized.
