Commencement season in Fargo will
be q thing Of the past within a week
and the town houses will be closed for
the summer. Those who plan to spend
the summer at the Detroit lakes will
be leaving in a very short time and the
happy care-free life on the beach,
bathing, fishing, canoeing, sailing and
camping will commence. The children
will be able to run about in h sand
barefoot and build wonderful houses
for the waves to wreck and while those
who are left behind in the city are
wishing for a shower to cool the heat
laden air, people in their coy summer
cottages can spend a perfectly COM
Portable afternoon in the easy porch
chair or swing with an interesting
magazine. The vacation, however, IN
most cases has been fairly earned for
the life Of the home maker is not an
easy one. During con1nenceE-ant time
and prior to the departure for the lake
mother has all OF the oversight of the
packing and the town house must be
let so that no accidents will occur
during the time hat the family are
away. The furniture must be wrap
ped, the linen put away and everything
left so that nothing will be spoiled by
moth or mold during the hot days.
Following the arrival Of the family at
the lake household necessities must be
put in shape for comfortable living
and to save work so that by the time
the home is running smoothly again,
mother feels that she has earned any
