l How much are we living out of doors?
Now that May is almost at an end and
June is at hand the out-ofdoor life should
be emphasized. In driving up and down
our country roads some claim that it is
easy to tell which are the homes of city
people and which of country people, ust
by the verandas, and shade trees, as the
former make so much more use of them
ana are IN the fresh air every possible
moment. 1T is true that most of those
who are from the cities come for their
Play-day-their vacation and in order to
have Tor because they have) leisure. 1t
should not be forgotten that they may
have had very busy, rushing life in town
during the winter and have amply earned
a rest and the pleasure of shade trees
and singing birds. On the contrary, for
the country folk this is busy time of
year and it is not always from choice that
they are behind the scenes" Somebody
must keep the house running, and smooth
| ~, too, Someone has said that the only
season when country women have time to
enjoy their beautiful broad piazzas is in
winter when they would perish if they
attempted it.. However that may be, wo-
men of the country will occupy their
summer, They will keep little baskets of
sewing and mending to be done on the ia
BILE outside, also the papers, books and
magazines to be read, so that they may
pe picked up handly. \ great gam IN
