 Regularly at this season of the year young MT. and Mrs. Someday, who oc- cupy a tiny but very tidy flat, enjoy a little game which they call playing at going away for the summer.
 MT. Someday brought home from down. town the other day an armful of very lovely summer resort booklets. After dinner, when he had his pipe going, he massed the bunch of booklets on the lit- tie table beside his big chair, and with Mrs Someday sitting on the arm of the chair the game began.
 Now, here" said MT. Someday, paw ing over the booklets and producing one with very ornate cover, lis a fine work, with illustrations. about the Thou sand Islands. Great place, they tell me, the Thousand Islands. What 'ud be the matter with our going to the Thousand Islands for a month or two or three?'
 Well, If you think we wouldn't be bored perhaps it would be all right" re- piled Mrs. Soneday, opening up the Thousand Islands booklet with its pie lures of wimpling waters and trees and things. "And from there we might go to that Lake Champlain celebration, mightn't we? And we could go to Que bee, too; I've always wanted to see Que bec., Then we could move around the Canadian lakes, to sort of round out the summer"
 well, we'll just think that little pro gramme over" said MT. Someday with great seriousness. "Then, too, there's Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia's up in that general direction. Gloriously cool sum mer climate in Nova Scotia, according to al 0 there?'
 Well" replied Mrs. someday. a bit dubiously, ''it might be nice there, of course, but do you think it's dressy enough? What would be the use of my having four or five dozen pretty summer dresses if l couldn't show them?"
 There's something In that, too," re- piled MT. Someday. rubbing his chin re- fiectively. Now, here's a beautifully H. lustrated brochure about place that ought to be pretty dressy-Delaware Wa ter Gap. You see, my dear, I entertain the same Idea as you In regard to this dressing business.
 "I like, you know, to put on my even ing clothes for dinner every evening, just as I do at home here,' and he glanced at his shiny suit of flat clothes and grlnned. Makes fellow feel sort of lonesome to find himself at summer resort where ne cdn eXpiOlt HIS WdTu- robe so to speak. It sure does.
 But I understand they're very dressy at the Delaware Water Gap. Think you'd like to drop over there in our private car and investigate the Delaware Water Gap"
 well. maybe; I'll think 1t over" an swered Mrs. Someday, musingly What's that one you've got there with the pret- ty pink cover?'
 (Which, this ?" said Mir Someday, hold ing up the booklet. why this is all about the Massachusetts coast. All the diplomatists and folks like that go to the coast for the summer, you know, and 1t pretty nifty, everybody says that's been there You could certainly exhibit your assortment of costumes there."
 'Yes. my dear,' said Mrs Someday "but you know 1t is considered good form to spend most of the summer somewhere in the mountains or in one or other of the lake districts, and then go down to the seashore toward the beginning of au- tumn"
 ''Right you are" he agrees. well, I've got bully mess of stuff about the Adirondacks somewhere here. Oh, yes, here's the stuff. You know we might en- gage one of those little lodges with 2S or 30 rooms up In the Adirondacks for three months, say, and have all of our  That 'ud be pretty scrumptious, don't you imagine?'
 'Ye-es," replied the little woman, a trif1e doubtful, ''but doesn't 1t get awful cold of nights up in the Adirondacks? And they're always shooting folks in mis- take for deer and bears and things In the Adirondacks, aren't they?"
 ''Seems to me I've heard something like that" replied MT. Someday. ''Well, we don't have to go there anyhow, that's one thing We don't have to go to any of those places. Now I believe they don't have any deer or bears or such like up in the White mountains, and there are all kinds of swagger places Up thereR "Somehow," interrupted Mrs. Someday, q never liked the sound of White noun tains Had mountains really ought to be so whitey whitey as to be called that? I always thought mountains ought to be sort of purplish or green or something" mighty ripping stuff about the Maine woods But, pshaw! If we went into one of those Maine camps, why, we wouldn't be able to put on any Jugs at all with our duds, would we?'
 "Oh, we'll" musngly replied Mrs. Some day, q could get four or five of those handsome outing suits that I've seen pie tures of. you know-the kind with buck skin fringed skirts and leggfngs and all that, and you could get some of the love- Hest campylike things to wear-you'd look lovely as cowboy-don't they have cowboys in Maine?-and we might like the Maine woods for a little while. What do you think?"
 "'Frafd it might be kind O lonesome" he replied "Fellows go up there for fish ing trips and the like. and they don't nut on the kind of summer resort sido we have in mind. Look at this gorgeous batch of stuff about Colorado Noun tains, springs and all that. How'd you like two or three months in Colorado?"
 But it takes such long time to get there," Mrs Someday demurred. Whats that pretty one sticking out with the bluey cover?"
 "This one," said Mir. Someday, picking the booklet with the blue cover out of the heap, lis all about the lakes of Wis consin--Oconomowo and Waukesha and those places
 How'd you like little crack at wls- consin? Full of lakes, it says here, and canoes, and here are pictures of slews and slathers of toggy looking people on the verandas of the hotels. tas
 "Notice 'em? All dressed up, aren't they? And that's us. you know-the togs stuff"
 But" inquired Mrs. Someday. "are those Wisconsin places considered real summer resortylike"
 well, the lakes of Michigan-Great Lakes, you know-are considered summer resorty. and here's lot of stun about the Great Lakes. The Soo, Mackinac and all that Like to take a trip out there?'
 "Br-r-rl" shivered Mrs. Someday. "I was reading only the other day that folks who are drowned in Lake Superior never come to the surface any n1ore-their
