STATIONARY TOURING

~NC-@ NANAL was a AEAA~AU-ul
and well-mated couple
~ known as Mr.. and Mrs
Sangwin, living in a nifty
Residence Street and always plan
ming to HE to the far-away Show
Places. These two did a lot of Sum-
mer Travelling early every Spring.
They never had been to Europe or
the White Mountains or Yellowstone
Park except by listening to Burton
Holmes and reading Folders, yet
they had knowledge of Geography
which was a great Help when they
tackled a crOss-eyed Puzzle.
Probably no one in the World
knew more about Beauty Spots
which they had failed to visit. If
they were well informed regarding
Switzerland and the Golden Gate
and the Plney Woods, It was be-
cause they had dreamed about them
with so much regularity. They had
been all over the Map without put.
ting Nick in the Letter Of Credit.
Next to picking out a Pearl Neck
lace in a Show Window and then
walking rapidly up the Street, this
Chautauqua Method of visiting AZ
riea by Proxy and going to the Medi-
terranean by reading the Ads in the
Sunday Paper is probably the least
expensive of all Designations.
You could bank on It that every
Vernal Equinox, about the Time for
changing from Heavy to Light, Mr..
Sangwln would look out on a new
Crop Of tender Leaflets, basking in
the Sunshine, and remark, with an
Air Of Finality, "NO two Ways about
1t, I'm going to arrange my Affairs
so we can go Somewhere this sum-
mer."
EVERYTHING SITTING PRETTY
'.AttabOy" the Good Wife would
exclaim. She was glad to know that
at last they would cut out the Stall
Ing and take a long, dandy Trip. 7
She had everything doped for the
Getaway.
Everything seemed to be Sitting
Pretty. Stimulated by the Coffee, /
md with the Ham and Eggs be- {
ween them, they would build Cas-
les in the Air which made the I
Equitable Building look like a Wood t
mans Hut. Before Mr.. Sangwin
eft the House they would have
heir Tickets bought and be walk
ng up the Gangway, bound for
Europe, Romance and Adventure. n
