man from a rural village to visit me.

New York dull. never realized be

The New York Times explains why

said the city man; so after break
fast one morning he said he would just
step round to the postottice and ask
for the mail. We had to explain that
there was no postottice within two
miles OF us. and that we never visited
the office: we just waited until the
postman came round.
when the old gentleman was balk-
ed OF going TO the postoftice. he said
that he really must get shaved. Would
we direct him TO a barber shopf Then
l had to tell hiDa that | didn't know

among the pleasantest incidents OF the

we had TO confess under eross-exami-
nation that we hardly bought SO much
as paper of pins In our part OF the
city. We did not patronlze the little
shops OF the region. Everything we
needed we bought In great shops ten
miles away. We had to wait for most
things twelve or even twenty-four
hours. and IL an article was urgently
needed. We had TO make a journey OF
something Ike twenty miles to get II.
That seemed to the old gentleman
an excellent joke on city life. His
own village Is about as far from the
only nearby city OF any size. as our
house is from the heart OF New York.
Ii was plain enough that he thought
we had returned to something like the
OF the frontier.

OF our situation with the 1

ways been sorry for them; he was 1
