Autumn for Vacations.

1t is to be hoped that the vacation
habit. which is growing on mankind
until nearly everyone who can takes a
vacation some time during the year,
will increase in virulence until an
autumn vacation becomes as common
as one in the summer. Such weather
as has prevailed this October entices
the human family afield. October,
with her treasures of riDening nuts,
coloring leaves, farm cellars stocked
with abundant proVender, and the
whole country tempered with the first
frosts, holds many charms that are
lacking in the hot midsummer, when
existence is almost a task. In summer
it is too hot to move about or to pry
INFO natures storehouses. At this
season on the other hand, the condi-
tions out of doors are at their best, and
il is impossible for the man who can
go to The country to keep himself sub
dued and tractable if he confines his
vacation hours to the hotel verandas.
Possibly it is wise to put by as much
as possible of the eXertion of summer
an Lso idle in the shade while the sun
is baking the earth beneath his fiery
rays. But that does not preclude an
other vacation, if out for day or two,
when October has ripened the year and
perfected all the conditions that make
life out of doors agreeable. To have
a vacation it is not necessary Skat it
should be of a specific number of
days duration. A Saturday run to the
country, if longer time cannot be
spared, is worth all it costs, and, with
the many attractive spots in easy
reach of the cities, it is not an expen-
sive pleasure. Especially is this sea-
son when growing boys and girls can
appreciate an outing under the nut
trees and in the thickets where the
pheasants drum and the squirrels chat

and the country the place fer it, if 1t
