Mountain or Seashore

The physician IS often asked Which IS the preferable place for a vacation-mountain or seasho ore 2"
 In general the answer is There is much than can be said in the rec omm endation of each"
 But to the healthy person, there is not enough difference 10 overrule personal preference. The sick per son must be guided by the physi- elan acquainted with his condition, and even there the physician usu- ally takes the patients preferences into account.
 Tn general, however, there is this difference between mountain and seashore. Mountain air is more pure than seashore air. It is usu- laden. The air is colder, partic- ularly at night, but the cold is not felt as much.
 The air pressure is less in the mountains than at the seashore, and this promotes deeper and more frequent breathing. High alti- tudes are thought to stimulate the increase of both red and white blood cells in the body. In the moun- tains the variations in tempera- ture during 4 hours are greater than at the scaShore.
 The sun is usually more brilliant at the shore, and salt water bath ing is of special value to some.
 In former times climatology tthe study of climates and their effects upon the human constitution) was ali important part of the physi- Cian's training.
 More recently this science has been neglected probably because experience has demonstrated that there are benefits to be derived at both mountain and Eeashore. In the treatr1ent of tuberculosis it has been -howr that most patients will benefit from treatment at either place.

Egret the White Heron vas be coming quite accustomed 10 hls strange home, which was, as you know, Farmer Browns barn. Farm e~ Browns Boy had made a pen for him there. He had made pen by simply putting wire door across an Irused horee stall. There Egrct was very comfortable. Sometimes Farm CT Browns Boy took him out and gave him a chance 10 walk about T. was funny 10 see him. l, was very stately about IT. He would lift his feet high with each step. Once i1 a while he would jump Up in the air in the funniest way
 Of course, Egret didn't quite un- derstand what was wrong with Elm. He knew that there had been the bang Of a terrible gun, scmethin. had hurt him, and when he had tried 10 fly one wing nas quite us .- less, This was all he knew about it. Of course. he didn't understand how very lucky he had been in having Farmer Browns Boy find him just when he did Now the wing was bet ter, and each time that Egret WAS taken out and given a chance to try it he knew that it was better.
 Meanwhile he made the best of things. Farmer Browns Boy broug1t him fish every day. This was very nice, but Egret felt that it would be 41 F. lii own fish.
 Tt isn't just the fish" thought Egret. These fish are just as good as any could catch. It's missing the fun of catching them. should like to do a little fishing and a little hunting"
 Now. some of the family of Rob Der the Rat were living in Farmer Browns barn. Of course, those rars knew that Egret was there. In ia [. they had had look at him the very first night that he had spent in the barn. The older rats didn't like the looks of Egret's long bill. No, sir. they didn't like the looks of that 1cnk bill. So they kept away; and they warned the young rats that if they were wise they would keep away. For a while the young rats needed this good advice. Then some Of them became bolder and would stop to peek into the pet where Egg ret was. Some of the boldest would even go into the pen. but they H. ways took care to keep q safe dis tance from Egret and his long bill < There was one young rat who got in the habit Of stopping in that pen every. night. There was soVethins

about the big white bird that inter ested him. He just couldn't go by and stop to look. He was very qulot about 1t. He thought that he wasn't seen. He thought that that big white bird was asleep. But Egret wasn't asleep and Egret did see him. Int is, he saw him sometimes. Soms- times it vas so dark that Egrct didn't see him. but he knew right where he was. Other times when the young rat came early and there was still a little light Egret saw him clearly.
 One of these nights I'll get that fellow" said Egret to himself. "In wait until he grows careless. He will grow careless Most people grow careless after a bit
 So Egret bided his time, and it came about just as he had expect ed. That young rat did grow carc- less. He actually sat down with his back to Egret. Yes, sir, that's what he did. He had been watching Eg- ret, and finally he turned arounI and, instead of running out imm4- diately, he stopped and sat down. That young rat never knew what happened, No. sir, that young lat never knew what happened. But Egret had late dinner that night and the young rat was never seen again.

IenSthening last years froCk in to this summers creation as illus trated above need not be a perplex- ing problem.
 If you have little dance gown of chiffon, lace sheer silk or or gandie, you need have no difficult ty. Make a deep transparent hem, of as many inches as you need, Of organdie, net or tulle. in the same shade as the gown or in cream or beige.
 If your skirt is quite tight, you may make this hem a deep flounca, of circular cut. Usually a 12-inch pleated hem suffices.
 To make your entire frock live up to its new length, try using one of the two following suggestions. First, why not try little puff sleeve of the same material as the hem? If these do not look good on your Ape, try either a circular collar or a fChu arrangement of the same material as the hem. One or the other of these tricks is sure to work.
