The sensible person rises quickly, bathes
and dresses. takes a hasty cup of coffee
and saucer of fruit. and goes out for a
long distance trolley ride by Z o'clock.
It is far easier to make the start than

cakes and fruit and coffee, the regula-
ton meal of our countrymen at this
hour. That was a clever little boy, son
of a professor of science, who replied TO
the inquiry. What is the nam of the
first meal in the day?' with the response,
oatmeal, But this is not needed for
the early start. The park trolley begin
to run at 6 o'clock. BY 10 or II the
throng of Sunday travellers are trying to
press on the platform of the trolleys. 1t
is then too late to start with any COM
fort. You either sit or are sat upon by
other hot and indignant folk. There is
no comfort in such a ride. But the women
and children who shut the front door be-
hind them at 6 or Z in the morning will
be able to establish themselves in COM
fort on the trolleys in undisturbed and
undisputed possession.
Once out of town, one sees the grain
fields waving in the breeze. sturdy chest
nut trees in their midst. like lighthouses
rising out of an undulating sea. The
chestnut tassels are in thier glory. The
cherry trees suspiciously red with fruit;
hollyhocks and larkspur raise their bright
heads by the porch of the country cot
tages that dot the wayside. The cows
are standing in the shady bed of a tiny
rivulet, hardly deep enough to wet their
feet. Green hillsides well wooded show
themselves on the horizon.
You can get a breath of country air, go
and return home again before the SUMS
rays have gained dangerous power If you
start in good time. We have many fine
trolley rides outward bound from Phila-
delphia for many miles. The rides are
varied, and one and all exceedingly cheap.
You get good moneys worth invested in
rapid transit through country air in the
cool Of the morning. It is hygienic for
the stay-at-homes to make the trial.
If you have not had quite enough sleep,
take it later on in the heat of the day,
when ~inaction is easier than any enter
prise. Since at periods we have a tropi-

our outings early or late, and keeping I'M

when the sun is most powerful.
Go over the garden beds daily, n re-
move all fading flowers. says @Harper's
Bazar.' This is very necessary if you
would keep your plants blooming. If
seed Is allowed TO form. the plant will
throw all its energies into the develop

flowers: but if the process of nature is
Inter1re3 with by preventing the plant
