Ia have been discovered several years ago 10y
some college students. and has since been cult

is avery popular creature in certain quarters, and

ripe. The hammock in which she swings and the
perforated sleeves Thai She wears do NOT appear
ebrorc June
The summer girl is sentimental Having an
active existence only during the warm months,
II becomes necessary for her To lay in a stock of
sentiment during three months that will last
throughout the year Therefore, She is very
sweet, very tender, very caressable The young
man Who claims her for his own from June To
September is believed to have a very "sofl" time
OF it. He is supposed, in sentimental slang, to
have All the hugging and kissing that he wants
The summer girl always has supply of kisses
on hand. 1t is true some of the kisses are rather
stale having been kept all winter but when
they are warmed up they pass very readily for
fresh ones. The young man who cultivates
summer girls is not very particular what kind of
kisses he gets long rs they are the clinging

The summer girl is pretty. If she wasn't
pretty She wouldn't be n summer girl She
wears pretty gnl's dresses, has pretty girls
teeth and puts on pretty girls smiles. She
also has a dimple or two to add to the picture.
She is usually plump, but not stout; well formed,
but NOT round The young man who pays for
her strawberries and cream, and takes her 10 pic

The summer girl is not very expensive. Her
wishes are few and cheap. row on the river

OF ice cream OF 4 warm evening, and an escort
to Il picnic about once in two weeks, nearly sums
up her wants Being only a summer girl, she
does moi expect those presents and that devotion
that belong to the regular, cvery-day-in-the-
