Why get a beautiful new bathing costume all soaking wet when there’s not a man worth mentioning within a dozen miles?

The great, big, strong man is the ideal of some women… he’s something to lean on in storm and stress, and to help with hard-to-open pickle bottles and sardine cans.

A spoiled day for mother - did she or did she not turn off the gas under the stew before starting out?

It was a good summer: It’s an unusual home that isn’t cluttered up with “gifte shoppe” treasures at this time of year.

Unless the weather comes off dreary and cheerless in the meantime it is not believed that the Presidential family will resume their residence at the White House before the first week of November.
Cleveland left for Buzzard’s Bay on July 1st and didn’t return until November 1st. I wonder how common Presidential vacations of this length were? Imagine if Obama just up and left for a 4 month vacation.
(In fairness, Cleveland was battling cancer secretly. He was so afraid of anyone finding out, especially Wall Street, which was reeling from a crash, that in 1893 he even had surgery aboard a boat, claiming it was a yachting vacation, so no one would know. On the other hand, if you need to spend a quarter of the year out of the White House maybe you should step down and let someone else take over.)
