tested Mrs. Brlggs. '
"Nonsense" replied Brlggs. "Of
course there Is some work lu getting
ready, but the luxuries of this life
are not to be had without labor. " I tell
you the country Is the place, and we'll
go to the country today. . Just hustle
around and get the children ready and
we'll start."
But where'll we go?" asked Mrs.
Brlggs. ' " V
"Anywhere," answered Brlggs.
"The park?" suggested Mrs. Brlggs.
"That's comparatively uear. and"
"Park nothing!" Interrupted Brlggs.
We cau run over to the park any

1'liL'ie was au hour or more of, good
hard work, as any one who ever has
tried to start for a little outing knows,
and some of the work fell to the lot of
Brlggs himself. He acted, under the
orders of Mrs. Brlggs, who became
general superintendent, temporarily,
and as a result when they were ready
to start he had to chauge his collar
and bis negligee shirt
"Whew!" he exclaimed1, as he put a
hammock oyer his shoulder and grab
bed a lunch basket, "I didn't realize
how hot It was... Pd -havo . boon a

of the grove, "we'll have to run for It

"Well, you'U have to do the run

cision, "I don't intend to kill myself.
I'll look after the children- and you
cake the hammock and the lunch bas
Ket and go on ahead." . '
So Briggs ran a quarter, of a mile,

"Now, I'll go hunt up some of the

Briggs and the children arrived.
"You'U do nothing of the sort," re
plied Mrs. Briggs promptly. " You'U
but ud the hammock first." V.
So he put up the hammock, not wuu-
out some ditticulty, for Iame isature
hadn't placed the trees as conveniently
as she might have done. ,
"Now," he said, "I'll"
"Now, you'U take this little tin pall
and get some water," put In Mrs.
Brlggs. "We're all nearly dying of
thirst."
"Now," said Briggs when he had
brought the water, "I'U"-
"Now you'U help me put out the
lunqh," Interrupted Mrs. Brlggs. "It's
nearlyl o'clock, and the children are
almost starved."
Sd he helped arrange the lunch and
drove the ants away from it, and of
course they found some things were
lacljlng. Then he helped gather tbe
remnants and the dishes together and
putjtbetn back In the baskets, and after
that, he took the children over and
bought them some pink lemonade ana
peatuts at a stnna at tne oiner enu or
the grounds, and gave them each a
turn la the swing they found, and then
finally he settled himself In tbe ham
mock.
Now, this Is what I call comfort.
he said, as he slapped at the flies and
the (mosquitoes. "I'll rest here a Uttle

Brlggs drew an armchair up In front
of an open window and dropped .wear
ily into It when he reached home.
"Bv Georse! but this Is comfort." bt
said. 'There's a right cool breeze blow

"Yes," returned Mrs. Brlggs dryly
