One of the cruelties of remaining at
home during the summer heat is the
receipt of complaints of the cold from
other chimes. The tantalizing cards
that come from mountain and shore
tell of shivering tourists who went
away never expecting to be comfort
ably cool again, and wishing only to
lie down in a snow drift and die happy
by freezing.
Mrs c. o. Knowles who is spending
the summer, as she does every year,
at Cape Cod, Mass, whites that it is
almost too cool there for comfort.
They build fire almost every day,
and there have been but six days the
whole summer thru, so far, when the
sun shone all day. The rains have
been frequent and chilly
1t hardly seems possible, does it?
