'uerous trash read among the intelli-
| gent classes in July and August than
N an the other ten months Of the year.
Men ana women who at home would
not be satisfied With a book that was
not really sensible ! find sitting on
motel piazza or unuer the trees reading
BOOKS the index Of which would make
them blush If they knew that you knew
what the book was. oh they say,
you must have intelligent recreation"
Yes There is no need that you take
along to a watering place "IIamHteR's
Metaphyslcs' or some ponderouS dis
course on the eternal DEGREES or "Fara-
days Philosophy" There are many
easy books that are good, You might
as well say; 81 propose now TO give
a little rest to my digestive organs, and
instead of eating heavy meat and vege-
| tables | will, for little while. take
| lighter food-a little strychnine and a
few grains Of ratsbane." Literary poi
son IN August is as bad as Literary poi.
| son in December. Mark that. Do not
let the frogs of a corrupt printing press
| Jumpintoyour Saratoga trunk or White
mountain yalise. Are there not good
books that are easy to read-books of
entertaining travel; books of congenial
history; books of pure fun; books OF
! poetry, ringing with merry canto;
books OF fine engraving; books that
will rest the mind as well as purify the
heart and elevate the whole life? There
will not be an hour between this and
your death when you can afford to
read book lacking in moral principle.
Another temptation lowering all
around our watering places is intoNi-
eating beverages. ! am told that it is
becoming more and more fashionable
for women to drink. / care not how
well a woman may dress, if she has
taken enough of wine to flush her
cheek and put glassneSs on her eve,
she is drunk. She may be handed into
$4,000 carriage and have diamonds
enough to astound the Tiffanys-she is
drunk She may be a graduate of the
best young ladies' seminary and the
daughter of some man in danger of
being nominated for the presidency
she is drunk. You may have larger
vocabulary than | have, and you may
say in regard to her that she is con
vivial'' or she is merry" or she is "fes-
tive" or She is "eXhiIarated,' but you
cannot With all ,,o,Ir oo.i,nds Of yo,-
biaqe cover nm the main fact that II
is an old-fashioned case of drunk.
