pieces OF furniture and household articles from the
city. and the cost OF removing furniture from the
city to suburban town. unless one is well ex-
perenced in the removal OF freight. is a heavy
tax the average financial resources. 1t is in
the second year that the lessees OF summer cot
tages engage in what 1 may call experimental
work. They then boldly begin the task OF
adjusting cottage to meet their needs. and not
themselves to the cottage. They try their
hand at leasing house with only few rooms
furnished and thus they may be able in their
second year to reduce the Of living in the
country.
THE CHARGES OF VAN OWNERS
There are van movers whose charges for
handling furniture in the summer months very
moderate and whose bills for packing. carting
and shipping loads of furniture,
which will be sufficient for the needs of the fami-
ly in summer time, will not be more than IS
load. There is need OF expressing furniture.
and such express charges greatly increase the cost
of the summer vacation. The best method or
handling furniture from city to country town
is make arrangements with the superintendent
of the freight department of the railroad which
to the town and to hire half car. or a
whole car, for certain day. Freight rates are
not high, and the lessee of a summer house who
decides to in his country home lot of his
town furniture will be surprised how much fur
niture he can to the country place for a
little money. II there many pieces of very ex-
pensive antique furniture necessary in the sum
place to another in vans the cost of the summer
outing will be considerably than II he leased
a house completely furnished. the charges
are about SIS load for every thirty miles
MODERN HOUSES THE BEST
1T is better to pay little more for house with
all modern cOnveniences than for one semi mOlern
and if there are one little children in the
family the housekeeper should overlook all houses
to lease which have not large grounds. well fenced
in and well shaded and which are not some dis
tance from 4 road frequented by automobiles.

journeys the many enhancing towns and hamlets

METHODS OF SOME HOMESEEKERS
The seeker of summer home generally takes
up the work of finding place for himself and
family without the slightest idea as where he
wants to go what strain his pocketbOok can
stand to afford his wife and children an oppor-
tunity to enjoy outdoor life at country
shore places in the hot months. He ofttimes con-
suits various friends regarding the healthfulness
and attraCtveness of certain towns within short
distance of this city. After getting the views of
his friends he is likely TO be nearer settling
this important subject than when the matter of
a summer vacation for himself and his wife was
first spoken of in his home All this. of course.
adds to the pleasures of hunting for just the
right hOuse."
MAKING THE TASK ENJOYABLE.
1t is said that the proper way to decide this
realty problem is by going as soon as possible TO
all the railroad agencies where maps and other
data about the towns to which the roads extend
may be had for the asking. With the time tables
maps and pamphlets about the suburban fields the
house hunter has at his command that which will
show to him what places are likely to be most at
tractve to him and where the rentable houses are
TO lease at sum which he can pay. The mex
perienced house hunter frequently defers deciding
where to go until the last minute. and his tardi-
in this respect is usually expensive to him.

A who has had many years experience as
a resident of a large number of summer colonies
in speaking about his experiences yesterday said:
SOME PERSONS LIKE NEW PLACES
. My wife usually likes to occupy each year one
of the houses which she leased years ago as she
says places and faces take considerable
time to become acquainted with and the task of
making ones self at home in district les
sens the pleasures of vacation time there and fire.
quently the new places and faces do not at
tract like the old familiar scenes and friends 1t
is the mother and the children who have to spend
their entire time in the place selected. Therefore
their comfort is chiefly be considered. l got the
idea that change from seaside resort TO a
mountain town would be best for my family and |
harped so long on that subject To my wife that
overcame her prejudices against living each wear
in different place. This SUMMER colony scheme of
Hlht has worked admirably and | think | have
wider knowledge of the varying charms OF the
summer towns than probably most business men.
HIS EARLY EXPERIENCE COSTLY.
in the first OF my experience did like most
house hunters do. | wasted a lot of money going
from place TO place examining houses and inspect-
ing villages, studying time tables and tbumhipv a
myriad of pamphlets about summer resorts The re-
suit of this work was that | found myself occupv-
ing house a long walk from railroad station and
that station was considerable distance bevond the
suburban field of this city. l spent at least four
hours each day the train travelling In and froD,

town ana either had to wait many hours in the
railroad station or go TO hotel for the night
before resuming my steps toward my summer home
L caution prospective lessees of summer homes
whose business makes 1t necessary for them 10
make daily trips TO this city be sure about the
time of departure OF the last train from this CITY
for close attention TO the running time of trains
