that they are not particular what they
eat. Therefore, the aforesaid husband
man feeds them on canned goods and
sells his fresh vegetables, butter. eggs,
and ''broilers' at the city markets.
Among the diversified jewellers in Ar
cadia the summer boarder maidens are
the most interesting. When they first
arrive they are pale, but the sun tans
them and the air makes them vivacious.
and as robust as Diana. Also, they feel
POLITICALLY inspired. They paint the
golden sunset" and write sonnets about
1t and the scent Of the new-mown hay"
the singing Of the birds, &C. They are
realists, fcs. They wander through the
meadows golden with buttercups, and
white with daisies. in quest of botany
specimens. What boots it II they don't
know the difference between q chickweed
and poison ivy? And what IL a certain
sunset-haired beauty vowed that she had
heard the reed o. Pan" by the riverside.
which, alas! proved to be only the sonor-
Gus bass of an unpoetic bullfrog, now in
season?
These commitments with nature give the
ladies and the gentlemen a good 0ppor-
tunity to court, especially when the
chaperon Is being pursued by an indig-
nant bull, that took offense at her GRIM
son parasol, or when she Is stout and
falleth by the wayslde to ian her heated
brow, thank Cupid, the guy that put the
cue in cupidity? Yes, Florence, the coun-
try gives such q beautiful setting to
romance.
Another interesting phase Of the sum-
mer boarder is that, though he has had
no experience at farming it, he still
has SO many original money-making
ideas on how to make the farm pay that
he thinks the farmers are too slow to
come in out Of the wet Some Of the
summer boarders become gentlemen
farmers" They purchase rundown
farms at fancy prices, spend several
thousand dollars on improved machinery
and in perfecting their dreams, and
well, they raise any amount of weeds,
and gain new experiences. You can't
beat q man at his own game, unless you
know better than he does. The city folk
cannot refrain from trying to have lit
tie fun with the farmers. However, Reu-
ben also has q sense of humor. He de-
lights to see one Of the wise guys milk
bossy from the left side-it makes Q Diff
ference from which side you milk a cow
II you doubt this. just try 1t. and bossy
will shake hands with you.
