afford the chance for an interchange OF
social ideas. At first blush it seems diff
fcult to provide for the town guest

in the country. Fortunately he does not
want and certainly should not have IT
it were possible to provide them the
same diversions and pastimes he
chooses in town. 1t Is the surfeit Of
town life which sends the summer Wis,
itor to the fields and woodlands. In
fact, jewellers in crowded cities, when
they are frank, admit that life for them
there is an everyday grind for wealth
or position, and aside from that all is
O matter of mere existence, and they
must seek the country in order to really
live.
