'nomad season, the time
OF the year when we all abandon our
own roofs and wander homeless IN
search of what comfort we may and
what amusement we may not find I'M
til a kindly providence in the shape OF
cool weather permits US to return on
so gladly, to our homes again.
The idea the average person forms
of summer rest is rather peculiar. TO
be cooped up in a little room whose
one window permits fourth of view
of the ocean, with the alternative
when one is tired of that, of going
downstairs and sitting in the midst OF
a lot of cackling humanity-this IS what
vacation means to most of us.
Few have the courage to explore the
forest and the stream, and many are
tied by the foot, so to speak, to a
boundary line a certain number Oh
miles from the city.
Well, if we can't study real nature
at its best we can certainly study hu-
man nature, and there's plenty OF that
ahoat during the summer months

resorts. No matter how different the
place the people are bound to be just
about the same types, little refined
or coarsened, as

so long that he is proof against any

around FROM maiden to maiden like a
giddy butterfly, leaving heart burnings
