EOEIMENT AMSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
‘ OF THEM.
What an ungeuerous destiny it is
that bids the great army of workers
Return to the toil and moil of city life
in the very hey-day of summer! For
'surely Mother Nature was never love-
lier in her children’s sight than she is
in these golden days.
The first freshness of her verdure
has worn away, it is true; nay, here
and there an observant eye may even
detect the ominous symptoms of incip-
ient old age—quiescent, nothing imc
mutable.‘
The, world is beautiful always, let
the-Assassin be what it will, but its
beauty changes as each day comes and
goes... and it is but a span from the
budding loveliness of spring to the
splendid maturity of early autumn.
As for the brief playtime that the
morewfortunatc among us are permitted
tosnatch ‘frOm‘ the year’s work—that,
like all else that is sweet, speeds frcim .
us ahltoo .oyickly.
Nothing in all the world is so'elusive
as pleasure, especially the pleasure of
idleness. We stretch out our hands. to
grasp the unwonted gift, and lo, ere
our eager fingers can close over it, it is
gone. ,_~ .
Scmeof these days, when “the powers
that be”-"have learned to walk in the
ways. of wisdom withe child ren ’s' vacation
time willgbe e‘i nded so as to include
the,whole month of September,
It is an innovation worth considering
—Omhygienic grounds, if on no other;
for the torrid weather that, in this
section of: the Atlantic seaboard, al-
most invariably marks the closing
weeksof summer, is trying enough to
render; mental elfort of any kind a tor-
ture, even. to “grown-ups,” and is sure-
- 13;,th conducive to dilligent study up-
on,the~ part of the youngsters newly re-
turned from cool green fields or ‘in-
vigorating ocean breezes.
It'is easy enough to say, as most
firents do, that the holidays are long
enough already, and that over-much
play time destroys the appetite for
. work; but if ever the happy time ar-
rives when sound health is regarded as
superior to excessive brain develop—
ment. the fact that a crowded school
room. and nerve-destroying tasks are
no.fit,associates for hot weather will be
estimatedlat its true value. .
Eight», months of the year—- from
October to May inclusive—are all that
theaverage child, with his 'undeveloped
body. and his over-active brain, can
safely spend in school under the present
exhausting system of education; the
remaining four should be given up ex-
clusively to the- enjoyment of the
sights and soundsof nature, and inci—
dentally to the replenishing the wasted
physical forces. -
Of all the month’s of the year, Sep-
tember and October are the most de—
lightful in which to go on wheeling
tours. Then the languor of summer
has, passed away, the air is filled with
bracing crispness and the sun’s rays,
while pleasantly warming, are not
overpowering. .. The small flying things
which bite-and sting have vanished,
and roadsare .almost sure to be in
"me condition.
'or,..those whoare vanticipating'a
i’engthy trip on the wheel we would
“cvthc suggestion that each morn-
ing‘lfter the tour has commenced as
early a start as possibfe should be

appease the appetite, but not an over-
abundance. '
Having started, say at half-past 6 or
1 o’clock, ride until 12, then rest at
lemmhalf an hour before partaking of
asubstantial. luncheon. It is positive-
ly injurious to eat when tired, and a
'good “wash up” and rest will make the

Feminine Chat.
Sympathy for a man after he’s down
is a twin brother to mockery.
The less advice a man has to give the
more listeners he will have.
Always look on the bright side—but
wa‘.k on the shady side in this weather.
There is more money to be ‘made by
humoriug people than by instructing
them.
Don’t think'in order to be candid it
is necessary to step on other people’s
toes. .
q Politeness is like an air cushion;
there may be nothing in it, but it cases
our jolts wonderfully.
Men would be very wise if they could
only learn as much as their boys think
they could teach them.
This is the season when the bad boy
comes home with his hair very wet,
and says it’s due to perspiration.
A man who admits that he could not
run the war better than it is being run
is looked upon with suspicion.
It is a very pretty woman who doesn’t
look a little shop worn at the end of an
all day journey.
We think it too warm to go to church,
but w, think nothing of taking a twenty
mile bicycle ride when the thermometer
is in the ascendant.
Many a woman who is very good
looking with her hat on is guite
different when she removes the Specio
men of millinery art, and the reverse is
also applicable.
A dress suit case has a distingue air
that is altogether lacking in a paste-
board box, but many a woman knows to
her sorrow that her pride has made
her rumple her frock in magnifying
the virtue of the former and ignoring
the possibilities of the latter.
Many of us are living very quietly
this summer that we may be
tremendously in the swim next sum-
mer.
A pretty home, kind friends, and
faithful servants mean a great deal to
a man or woman who has lost all near
kin. _
If artists were only able to copy
some of the moonlight capers shown on
summer evenings their fortunes would
be made. - .
The habit of watching who alights
from the trolley car becomes almost as
fascinating as the game of croquet to
the suburban dweller. '
