to relate of what befell one Of our fore
most citizens whose wife had gone to the
seashore ana who is alone, as so many
OF the poor" men are these DAYS of heat
and exhaustion. Well.
friend Of his had told him he would call
Tor him in his car for spin about 0
o'clock. He waited until 10, and as he
had not called then, he knew ne would
not come later, SO decided to spend the
night on the porch hammock
So he hicd himself to his tubby and.

sible to cool Off night before last. pro-
ceeded to- assume the very coolest apparel
he owned. Suffice it to say it was low
as to neck, short as to the sleeves and
extended not below tho knee.
Also, incidentally, twas made of that
lightest OF materials tho. one sees advcr-
tised under number of consonants in the
street cars and magazines.
He had had a mighty hot days work
and with sigh Of relief sank himself into
a gentle sleep to dream of continuous
giggles sounding about him. Finally the
giggling gSew SO loud he reused a bit and
opening his eyes spied between him and
his front door and safety three girls and
two men, who were fairly convulsed with
laughter. Poor soul. imagine his feelings!
He lived in the depths of the country
and had no idea that any one would pene.

not sleep on the porch in chillsome gar

bethought themselves of him and decided
