Winter Preferred BY Many.

For my own part. j say frankly, and |
have said for years. that do not care for
the summer and that l love the winter.
This does not mean that do not enjoy YER
dure and flowers. long drives and walks.
sunsets and fresh vegetables. country air
and ripe fruits. any more than 1t implies
that like bleak. cutting winds. snow and
slush, fogs and influenzas. But And that
the pleasures and comforts of the winter
more than offset its drawbacks. just as the
annoyances OF the summer outweigh its
advantages. That it. they do in my case.
More than that. believe there are a good
many others who feel as j do. but who
shrink from declaring themselves openly.
So far as young people are concerned.
there is every reason why they should love
the summer. In the first place. it means a
release from school or college and freedom
from responsibility for the school boy or
girl and the entrance upon a time Of relax
alton and amusement. II stands for vaca-
ton and outdoor sports-boating, fishing.
swimming. riding. tramping. camping. ex-
cursions and picnics OF various sorts IN the
midst of growth and greenery. All holiday
fun and frolic are before them when sum-
mer reigns over the land. To those who
live in cities IT opens the door to wider lib
erty ard gives them the key to the fields.
Decidedly. summer was meant for the
young.
To the housekeeper hot weather brings
something altogether different. Long ago
reached the point where l appreciated the
heavy additional expense OF housekeeping
in summer. Fresh vegetables call for more
butter, fruit demands cream n abundance
and implies ice creams and ices and other
desserts which, while undoubtedly good.
are likewise costly. The housekeeping al
lowance which may with care be made to
cover the outlay in winter has a sore tug

Bad Manners of Guests.

The second epistle touches upon another
phase of the same subject:
lis there any way to teach our friends
what one might call manners for the coun-
try place? Why will people who apparent
ly know how to behave during the winter
neglect all courtesy about summer en-
gagements? Year after year l receive
notifications from friends that they are
coming to see me. and this when they have
had no regular invitation. Sometimes they
don't even send word they are coming up.
