Pet-Imps the Jolllest thing about the
seaside Is Hi,, taste It gives father for
ivnl hard work. As every married
woman knows. It Is us much as she
can do at home to get father to pick
up a tuck h tinnier, and then she has
lo watch li h i to see that he doesn't
put It down ttualn.
Set him down by the seaside, how
ever, and let him hire one of those hut
arrangement on the bench known as 1
bungalows, and he will enjoy himself j
for hours hanging up pictures and cur-1
lulus, mid tlxlng up shelves uiul brack-!
ets that are too small to hold anything,
and would collapse If (hay were not.
The rest of the time be spends trying
lo light the patent stove. Kilt he ll
quite happy.
It Is trul.v astonishing how people
who grow ferocious about the lack of
accommodation In modern houses, can
spend two weeks or more In qnnrters
not much larger than the kitchen In
Hie house they have left. They may
be grumblers at home In rainy weather,
hut when It r.ilns at the seashore they
cheerfully stop up the cracks In the
roof und wiill-i w llh bits of newspapers,
and they sit mid sniff camphor and say
how awful It Is to think that this tlins
next week they'll be back home.
