many people have asked us while on our

reasons why we didn't were, as have

TVT HEN We decided to marry, Billy
M and decided also that we were
going to be really happy on our
honeymoon. OF course, so the poets and
all say, the happiest way to spend a
honeymoon is TO become a 'love.in.a.cot-
lager
But we also wanted TO travel on our
honeymoon. How could we travel and
have our love IN a cottage at the same
time?
Picture us thinking heavily. All.
That's the idea! We would have love.in-
a-cottage-on- wheels!
And that's what we're having.
Automobiles were too fast and too ex-
pensive. Besides one could hardly call
an auto a cottage on wheels. What we
wanted was a horse and caravan. That
is what We got AS we had decided to
extend our honeymoon for a year at
least and travel all over the South all
the time we wanted, OF course, we bought
the most durable kind of horse we could
get.
We have him still His name Is Oswald.
He was dray horse pulling coal on the
Brooklyn docks, where we saw him first
and were charmed with his strength and
size-he weighs 1900 pounds-so we
bought him for $500. After more than
six months of travelling he Is in perfectly
good condition, although not quite so
heavy.
Our caravan cost 5000 10 have built
also. The inside measurements are 9ls
feet long by 8 feet wide and feet high
with roll-up canvas curtains back and
front, and little window in each side
The general effect is that OF small pa
per box wagon, the weight being 1,4OO
pounds. It could have been built very
much cheaper and lighter If made with
rounded canvas top like the old-fashioned
prairie schooner which the horse traders
use down South. but it would not be so
cosy and homelike, especially In rainy
weather. 1t pays to have it well built in
the beginning because we have had no
accidents with the wagon besides q few
rips in the canvas which we mended our
selves
Our furniture is simple and inexpen-
sive, since we built most Of it ourselves
Under the drivers seat are two shelves
with our books and box for provisions,
dishes and odds and ends. The lid pro-

on the other.
