Kentucky's Lovely Girls.
Blue Lick Cor. Indianapolis sentinel.


 When the summer season at the Blue Lick Springs, I am told, it is sig nal among the society people heres abouts to congregate semi-oceassionally for real picnic. And it will interest the male portion of your readers to learn that more beautiful lot of young ladies do not meet on this earthly footstool anywhere than are seen here at the Fri day night neighborhood dance. They are fair-complexioned, bright-eved, affable, musical. entertaining. The hearts of the Northern boys are pierced on sight, but the gallantry of ye Ken lucky youth estops rash movements. The young ladies dress neatly, appro- priately. Their costumes are cool and, the Northern girls might say, old-style, conventionally almost, but there is no mistake about them being as pretty as unassuming. And the Kentucky girls dance prettily, too. The racquette is all the rage here now and the Rac- quette Galop the raging selection. They dance the Lancers and, in fact, all square dances without calling, while the glide, the five-step and other waltzes they pronounce perfectly easy--simple, but nice" The society in the best por- tion of Kentucky is very good. There are two classes-the respectable and those who are not admissible to any kind of decent society. Everybody is genial and the visitor is cordially re- ceived. The watering places of Ken- lucky land there are many beng crowd ed now, all classes of people are seen here.
