, but it is rather rare sight to find
 a winged beauty making itself al home in a newspaper office. Such
 was the case a few days ago when
 6 reporter, sitting back in his chair and gazing into space, felt a strange i iflutteriug at the top Of his head. His first thought was that he had had an
 electric shock from one Of the wires about him. He dared not move
 from the spot for fear of the conse- tquences, Finally it occurred 10 him Ito place his hand on his head and 10 his surprise it rested on a large Iyallow butterfly which evidently thought it had found new sort Of flower or else came ill to find out i the news of the day. Needless to ! say the mind of the reporter Was set
 at ease and he feed his winged friend into the sunshine again.
 If you are in the same fix We are, l the good old summer time" simply "ain't" any more. Providing your mortal self has lowered upon this earth for a fairly ample number of iyears, you have become blase and summer is no longer the joyous per ! iod it was when you were q school
 kid and had vacation. It is now
 merely the time when you shed oceans of sweat and your digestion refuses to function.
 1 Once upon a time when the sum
 mer months arrived, you looked for
 ward with eager anticipation to your annual two weeks away from the steady grind. You went to the shore, to the mountains, on an auto tour, to New York, or, if you were extremely fortunate, abroad. But now you have done all those things
 so many times that the mere thought of repeating them nauseates you, You have been everywhere. It ] is for just this type or person that
 We are writing and We suggest be- How some little jaunts which are novel and should prove q relief from the circumscribed field of the resort folders:
 Why not go down to Bills house
 and pay him that ten-spot you've owed him since you borrowed it to contribute to the cause in the Span
 ish- American war? And then over to Jacks to pay the $25 bet you lost when Roosevelt defeated Bryan? IAnd then to the tailor's and so on? It should really prove a distinctly Incw and unknown itinerary and will Iallow you to rid yourself of your
 money as rapidly as would q trip 10 the Adirondacks, Again, you might tell your bootlegger not to bring the stuff this weck-you will go and get
 it. If you read the comic magazines 'you will know there is no chance or your being apprehenued, but then
 mistakes will happen and you can
 kid yourself into believing revenue
 officers turk behind every tree. Ii
 you like danger and have a good this should prove spicy And supposing that you should be .arrcsted in making the above trip 1t might spoil that journey. but you
 would get another new thrill and q vacation in a nice cool cell.
 No doubt your mother-in-law has spoiled at least one vacation for you .bv dropping in. Why not get gloat- ing revenge by returning the trick? Lust 20 into her house and mess things up and boss her husband around and insist upon telling her where to go and then accompanying her and doing other thoughtful little things like that. This should really be reserved until you have a month
 free, as you will probably need that .leneth of time to recover in the hos
 pital.
 You might even stay home. So few of us do this now during Yaca- lion or even at othertimes that the
 place is less familiar to us than the .crags of the HimaIayas, which we see it least in the news reels. It
 would help you to acquaint yourself
 with the location ot the furniture, Iso that you wouldn't fall over the couch every midnight when you .come in, and you can check up on how many cats you have, who is your cook, and what the childrcn's names are.
 Now. for one final suggestion, we
 think it would prove thrillingly
 unique to take your vacation right
 on the job. Not working, of course, 1,,,t ;,,u+ ooiOr 6ourn thera aS 1Is110l
 each day and sitting around, reading, chatting with the boss, gloating over
