THE SUMMER CAMP
FOR CITY PEOPLE

VT is possible for jewellers in choked
up city flats to give their children
the summer months in the country
that. too, with little more expense
than it costs to maintain the town
home. Sometimes. indeed, the cost is
rather less.
The thing may be achieved by means
of the tent on the seashore or in the
woods.
A man whom know bought a good
sized tent of canvas. with another
smaller one for a sleeping place for his
children His wife selected such sim
pie household belongings as were alb
solutely necessary. Then they went
with these and their Everyday
clothes to the seashore in a place near
enough to the city for the husband to
go back and forth to his business daily.
They cooked on a small kerosene stove.
Milk, vegetables, meat and sea food
could be bought cheaply in the neigh
borhood The children frequently
caught fish and brought them dripping
with the brine to the family larder.
The husband brought most of the
needed groceries with him from the
city They lived in the simplest way,
the mother and daughter doing part of
the family washing.
The ground on which the tents stood
was leased at a low price, and when
the family returned to the city in au-
tumn they had only to fold the tents
and store them in the seashore neigh
borhood till the next summer While
they were at the shore they simply
locked up their fat and left it, paying
the usual rent on it, They found that
the easiest and really the least expen-
sive way.
Thus they lived, summer after sum-
mer The mother and children, fed on
the electric salt air, grew strong and
ROSY and STAYED so. Until the children
were grown they were taken each year
to the sea by their sensible parents.
The tents are abandoned now, for the
children have left the home for homes
of their own, yet never, though they
live a century. will they cease to think

Montreal is one of the hottest places
on earth. 1 drove around its sleepy
little streets in an antiquated open car
riage until it was time for the boat to
start. Meantime the "cocher' nodded
on his seat, but woke up in time to
charge me good round fare.
On the boat to Quebec you meet all
kinds of people, from austere spinsters
out for a holiday to Newlyweds hang
ing over the rail, their heads close to-

steeples belonging to converts and
churches.

THE MEN TO MARRY.

An alleged authority on mankind has
given his views on the sort of men that
make the best husbands. Among the
really nice ones he classes the man
who is fond of fishing, the lawyer and
the all round journalist.
He does not get enthusiastic over the
popular doctor as a husband, and a
musical genius or a man of letters
gives him cold chills and shudders.
The author, he SIS. is so fond of his
fine sentences that he is disagreeable
when the baby cries and makes him
self generally odious about his food
end noise of the children and any do
nestle infelicities that may come
along.
All in all, the good journalist seems
to have the most strong points. He is
a bit of a philosopher is likely to be
practical, makes the best of what can
not be helped and is full of alterna-
tives. The lawyer is good to have in
the house. He is likely to be alert
good judge of human nature. a good
talker and quite as fond of listening as
of hearing the sound of his own voice.
He studies human nature at home as
well as abroad and is altogether a good
fellow.
