you say you are led to set forth her theory
in cold type in the expectation Of provok
ing some remarks on the other side, when
the bellies get back from their trips out oil
town. Now, l see in this chance to have
the first, if not the last word. Perhaps l
am the frst-not belle,-but plain "Rebsk'
all" who has returned from the mountains.
The remarks you have quoted led me to re
feet on the selfshness of humanity.
Think oft, 20 to the mountains, or to the sea,
shore and spend your time 'quarreling over
some male elgibles" The love making,
would be very pleasant, and shouldn
think it at all the cause of wear and tear
to ones temper" for of course no girl would
make love" till she had been asked to do 80.
As for the damage to compilations from
exposure to the hot sun,
Bless That Dear Girl,
hasn't she heard that it is quite faux tait
to come home from summer trip sun.

to boast of the blisters on your hands, tina,
were made by rowing. Yet these same
blisters would by some people be thought
very disgrscetul had they been caused by
the use of broom at home, instead of oars
on the lake. Wonder why? Isn't blister

lido believe the work of monopoliziug the
attention OF the dancing men would be very
exhausting.
| saw one of these "men" once and have
never forgotten him. =,
He was a perfect Adonis. He prided
himself on being the incarnation OF grace,
and never, by any accident, trod on ladys
train, no matter how long it was, if she
knew how to "handle" it. Dextrous, wasn't
he girls? he could dance, there was no
mistake about that. There was no trouble
as long as the music lasted, but what in the
world were YOU to do with him when it
ceased? he could fan you till you were
cool, hold your fan and flowers and bring
you a refreshing ice with the ease and grace
we all admire-but-what them Couldn't
he talk? Yes and no. He was not a mute.
oh, That He Had Been.
He could talk "throddle," that no girl OF
the nineteenth century ought to be able to
endure. He was tolerably fair-yes, q
magnificent example of the dancing men
Of our watering places.
Imagine girl capturing one Of these ar
ticles and being obliged TO keep 1t "for bet
ter for worse
Fancy your castle in the air with such
a presiding genius Why, in order to keep
no your admiration for the man of the
house, you would be obliged to have q
string band engaged by the year, so that he
might dance and dance and dance. Won

There Are Men to be Found
at the mountains and sea shore. Would
that more of them could lay down the bur,
den Of everyday life and get some Of the
refreshment to be had at these places,
These men are delightful company on boat
rides at at picnics; but girls, you can enjoy
these things by yourselves, if you know how
to handle the oars or drive team OF horses
but 1t is more fun to have gentlemen along
for that purpose. Isn't it just notion thai
the dear boys arc indispensable to the pleas
ure of the girls?
Some one says ave are all liable to have
notions until we get KNOWLEDGE.
Now. it is fact that there are girls who
90 10 the summer resorts and have all the
fun they want and more invitations thar
they are able to accept, simply because the
idea of acquiring the reputation OF
belle is not one Of their notions.
Truly Lovely Girls.
They are not engrossed with the idea ths'
all that is lovely and fair and desirable i!
embodied in themselves
They look at the world and at living il
it as grand things, and can say truly.

For those who know me tue,
For the Heaven tina, smiles above M,
And the good that may do
When these people are on the mountain
top or a. the sea shore they get fresh up
lift and come home benefited and ready fol
real life work. Little vessels are easily
filled; so a girl who comes home. from sum
mer trip, worn out by angling for dane
ing man needs to have her guardian buy
her larger capacity Of head and heart
Perhaps good way to begin the building
of such an addition to her character would
be giving her something else than herself as
a study, Any girl who can spend sum
mer in the mountains and not be lifted al
least a little higher than herself, or who
can 90 the sea shore and get no wonderful
thoughts from the depths of the sea ough
10 stay al home and rest. The menta
strain would certainly be more than she
could endure.
Let ones thought in life be the happiness
and comfort Of others and his own life vii
broaden perceptibly and his capacity fol
happiness will increase.
AS
An Illustration
ofthinking of the comfort Of others, even il
the thoughts are late, did you hear what a
good send of the consul to Japan received
from his Wheeling friends? Quite large
of gentlemen gathered at the depot, to have
last word, last look and a last hand
clasp. Each one Wed with the other in
showing some last loving attention to him,
Finally the shrek Of the locomotive was
heard and the iron horse sped out Of the
depot. The friends turned away, when 10,
in the hand of one gentleman
was the consuls tickets ard his
baggage was reposing calmly on the
platform unchecked. The gentleman who
held the tickets proved his devotion BY run,
ming after that train as though he were a
contestant at one OF the Olympian games.
he ran fast enough and far enough to de,
serve to have laurel wreath placed on his
brow. When he caught the train and placed
the tickets in the hands of the illustrious
consul, we can onlyimsgine the expressions
on both faces. The trunks could not be
dispatched so rapidly, but the Consul will
get them at his first stopping place.
Could we speak the language Of court,
at Japan, we would say, in good old Dltch,
Farewell, good Consul, God be with you.
As We can't, we will wait bon voyage
toward the outgoing vessel.
Attention Girls.
To return to the girls and the Resorts.
May the Wheeling girls who 60 to the
mountains, or sea shore, bring back with
them purity that comes not from mountain
air and sea breezes, but from that heavenly
country whence comes all that is sweet and
