From Lucille S
Diary


iul hot weather We lad little while
ago.
You love the country, don't yCu,
Lucile?" asked Arthur knight, who
happened to be sitting on OR porch.
Yes, I'm afraid l envy reo.-e who
have summer homes REPLIED.
THAI reminds me that Uncle Pea
ave me the key to Rec Roof be.e:e
re started 10 Europe last week. It's
:, lovely little place.
do tell NE about Red Reef beg
ged. 1.-THE name is perfectly fasc;I~t-
ing"
Instead of my describing it, SIP
oose ! show 1t to yoa," he sugge ct
ID. I'VE can make the TN out the {
u three hours il ny cGr. Wou.da :
SCI Ike to go?"
"Cf course / would" ! answered.
Inside of ten minutes we had a ljt-
tie outing trip planned and Unce Bob
4 lerhone.
When Arthur came fer me the morn
Ing we were TO go he looked disturbed,
"Lucile,' he said, I'm awful,y sorry,
but my cock has disappointed us"
"Oh, Betty and | will enjoy cook
irg, ] replied you and Uncle Bot
can help us and it will be a regu ar
ealmring frolic.'
What trump you are!" exclaimed
Arthur in a tone that quite repaid
me.
1t was great fun getting the house
opened and Strengthened things
around and when we got bit SET
tied within doors Arthur said that he
and Uncle Bob would NOV path to
the water and launch the boat. Betty
and ] went into the kitchen and be-
gan to prepare the noon dinner.
III make stuffed baked potatoes"
said. They're my specially ! pick
ed out nice ones and took ITEM
down to the river for Uncle Bob to
wash, for potatoes are very rough for
delicate hands.
We'll, this is a joke" laughed Uncle
Bob
You know the bargain was for you
boys to help" ] returned nerrily. So
in a very few minutes the potatoes
Were scrubbed clean.
III there's nothing else for me to
do just now ] said to Betty after
lad put them into the oven. "Tll see
about the bedrooms"
] went upstairs. Going into the
room Betty was to have ! saw her
bathing dress lying in her open suit
case Suddenly remembered that
hsd forgotten TO bring my bathing
suit ] think Betty ought to have re-
minded me, of it, but some people never
think of any one except themselves. !
thought how refreshing a little dip
would be before dinner, SO ] hastily
donned Retty's suit.
That locks good to me-" said Uncle
Bob when / appeared on the shore.
Let us take swim, too, knight"
In a short time we were al three
splashing in the water together. We
made such noise that Betty came
around to the front porch to see what
was going on.
Come on in, Betty" called Uncle
Bob
Size hesitated an instant and then
went into the house only to reaprear
looking vexed.
Il cant fcd NY bathing suit" she
said crosby. Lucille you have it
on"
Uncle Hcb locked at re and then
got out of the water ard followed Bet
ty into the house
Il never thought that Betty would
want her bathing suit jIst now" sid
to Arthur. she is usually SO generous
and sister,y about borrowing back AID
forth that ] didn't think TO ask her fer
the suit"
sighed ard Arthur looked at NE
sympathetically but before he could
say a word Betty cane to the door
and called that we should be late to
dinner if we didn't hurry. l got
dressed in time TO help Eut dinner on
the table.
"Oh, never mind assisting me now"
I'm sure you'll be relieved to know
that I have already stuffed the pota-
toes"
| often wish Tat Uncle Bob had
married a less difficult person than
Betty. She made it very unpleasant
for me by her grumpiness at dinner,
and think it was extremely selfish Of
her to insist on going home the very
next morning, saying that she was not
feeling quite well.
Sometimes / an forced to be a trife
skeptical about Retty's convenient at
tacks of Illness.
Changes in Egyptian Life.
