Drttrvood Prom Sunday.

Ii was evident enough yesterday that surl-

And We shall be glad when this summer

And the nights are no better. In a geu-
eral sort Of way, the end OF tie world seems
20 be close at hand. IN the ELL watches
people lie awake listening for the cat-hke

Sunday was good day 20 stay at home.
and most every body could be found there.
II was coolish IN the morning before eight
O'Clock, and few sportsinen sbstracted hsn
poles and the bait tLst is kept well corked,
and strolled away 20 hapnts beyond the
sound Of church bells Most OF them came
back late, bedra0gied. a basket :ull Of
the remains Of the lunch. and car load OF
disgust Of the whole business Of fish.ng.
There was an excursion To Dad!ey, And S

time But there isn't much depth to this
sort of good time. Tie headache Of
Monday dissipates tie romance Of II.
After church hours society was no Longer
on parade. Ladies in cool and easy-tirtlng
garments. rested, gathered in groups On the
lawns beneath the trees 20 discuss social
topics. to read and gather up strength for

men loIIed III easy chairs hehind ouTl of
key-west smoke and talkei poliucs.
The ladies ask each other if il Is really
true, as the STATESMAN has said, that CELLO
scv Is a conspicuous element here III Nalla
WalIs. On their taper fingers they run
over the young men or bachelors OF their ae-
quaintances, and begin to believe It. Why
IS It. It was wise Thoma, Bnckle who de
clared that the average number Of marriages
was IN proportion 10 the price Of bread.
But considering the financial status OF Halia
Wal!a bachelors, II seems hardly creGItable
that their resistance TO the dear invasion. is
due TO the cost OF living double. Perhaps
it is truer that they believe that t,rne and
chance happen to all, that certain luck has
marrying. Doubtless rnany of the Nalla
Walla bachelors and maids will hug this de
lusion. instead OF each other. Certain Is It,
that We have & sr-a. many Of the first who
abandon love and home comforts for the
bank book ana hotel bill OF fare, and not
few Of the latter Who sharpen their noses
and their tongues at once by scentlng out
other peoples infirmities and faulty cLarac-
ters.
