From Lucile’ Diary “Oh for a breath of country air!™ | sighed one evening during the dread- ful hot weather we had a little while ago. “You love the country, don't you, Lucile?' asked Arthur Knight, who happened to be sitting on our porch. “Yes, I'm afraid 1 envy peojple who have summer homes," I replied. “That reminds me that Uncle Ben gave me the key to Red Roof before he started to Europe last week. It's a lovely little place. “Do tell me about Red Roof,” I beg- ged. “The name is perfectly fascinat- Ing.” “Instead of my describing it, sup- pose 1 show it to you,” he suggest- ed. “We can make the run out there in three hours in my car. Wouldn't you like to go?" “Of course I would,” I answered. Inside of ten minutes we had a lit- tle outing trip planned and Uncle Bob and Betty had been invited over the telephone. When Arthur came for me the morn- ing we were to go he looked disturbed. “Lucile,” he said, “I'm awfully sorry, but my cook has disappointed us.” “Oh, Betty and 1 will enjoy cook- ing,” I replled. *“You and Uncle#ob can help us and it will be a regular camping frolic.” “What a trump you are!" exclaimed Arthur in a tone that quite repaid me. It was great fun getting the house opened and straightened things around and when we got a bit set- tled .within doors Arthur_said that he L Phone 233 Red Taman Clg i went into the house only to reappear ar Factor THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAEK ELAND, FLA, JUNE 35, 1912 forth that I didn't think to ask her for the suit.” 1 sizhed and Arthur looked at me sympathetically, but before he could say a word Retty came to the door and called that we should be late to dinner if we didn't hurry. 1 got dressed in time to help put dinner on the table. “Oh, never mind assisting me now,” said Betty, with an acid little smile. “I'm sure you'll be relieved to know that I have already stuffed the pota- toes.” and Tncie Bob wouid mow a path fo the water and launch the boat. Betty and [ went into the kitchen and be- gan to prepare the noon dinner. “I'll make stuffed baked potatoes,” I said. “They're my specialty. I pick- ed out nice ones and took them down to the river for Uncle Bob to wash, for potatoes are very rough for delicate hands. “Well, this is a joke,” laughed Uncle Bob. “You know the bargain was for yam bors to help,” I returned merrily. So in a very few minutes the potatoes were scrubbed clean, “If there's nothing else for me to do just now,” I said to Betty after 1 had put them into the oven. *“I'll see about the bedrooms.” I went upstairs. Going into the room BRBetty was to have I saw her bathing dress lying in her open suit. case. Suddenly I remembered that I had forgotten to bring my bathing suit. I think Betty ought to have re- minded me, of it, but some people never think of any one except themselves. 1 thought how refreshing a little dip would be before dinner, so I hastily donned Betty's suit. “That looks good to me,” said Uncle Rob when 1 appeared on the shore. “Let us take a swim, too, Knight.” In a short time we were all three splashing in the water together. We made such a noise that Betty came around to the front porch to see what was going on. “Come on in, Betty,” called Uncle Bob. She hesitated an instant and then married a less difficult person than for me by her grumpiness at dinner, and I think it was extremely selfish of next morning, saying that she was net feeling quite well, skeptical about Betty's convenient at. tacks of illness. Changes in Egyptla_n_ Life. Egyptians who have been educated of their education, are working zeal- ously in their native land to have their wives adopt many American ideas and customs. In the last twen- ty-five yvears American influence has been felt greatly in Egypt. Many fathers in Egypt are educating their many games just as FEnglish and American girls do. Through that edu- cation the social life of Egypt is go- ing through a transition, looking vexed. “I can't find my bathing suit,” she said crossly. “Lucile, you have it on!" Uncle Bob looked at me and then got out of the water and followed Bet- ty Into the house, “I never thought that Betty would want her bathing suit just now,” I said to Arthur. “She is usually so generous and sigterly about borrowing back and Merest Kind of Incident.
