THE LADY RAMBLER.
She Anticipates the Close of the Sea-


son.
Hot weather to the contrary notwith-
standing, the season is decidedly on the
wane. Night winds are acquiring a mourn
full cadence and the once jolly and gay
mosquito, as if realizing the breyity of his
existence, huns defiantly in the twilight;
the last rose has withered, while country
roadsides are gay with golden rod and as
tiers, sumach eTimsOns the hedge-rows,
street vendors are crying the juicy cabbage
and the succulent corn, and the small boy,
having exhausted the supply of green APP
pies, gazes lOngingly upon the piles of water
melons so temptingly displayed at corner
groceries. Therefore. if there still linger in
town any good people with the fainteSt de-
sire for social prestige, it behoOves them to
stand not upon the order Of their going, but
to pack up their wardrobes, close their
apartments. notify their mail-carriers
and go at once. Oh, my, no! 1t doesn't
ut all matter. Esmeralda, where you go.
Departure is the main point; all other con-
siderations are but minor. You can bury
yourself alive in some country hotel, or
pitch four by six tent by the side of some
melancholy and diminutive pond and eat
corned-beef out of tin cans and then next
winter so eXpatiate TO society at large upon
the delightful summer you passed that your
dear friends will be just as much impressed
as If you had bathed in Cape May, played
lawn tennis at Newport or imbibed the
nauSeating waters of Saratoga.

The most popular thing in compilations
nowadays is a rich mahogany; the nose
worn with il should have its skin peeled
of in patches, and the palms of the hands

II visit to the lakes is really impTactieable
the correct complexion can be easily obtained
by few hours exposure TO the direct rays
OF the sun as reflected from tin roof; while
the young men will find that for producing
blisteTs half an hour spent at the wOOd-pile
in the back yard is equivalent 10 half a
days exercise with the oars

''Having perfectly lovely time? Well 1
should remark" says young society man,
inveigled by his fond relatives into spend
ing his summer at one of our lakes, why,
we get up at some uneaTthly hour directly
after midnight, eat dinner at the time civil
lied people are taking breakfast. and retire
in the early dusk. Oh. its awfully jolly,
and healthy, too, you KNOW"
so dOtes upon twO-wheeled cart, am not
fully prepared to say. Perhaps it is the
comparative novelty of the thing that so
works upon her erratie fancy; at any rate,
II young man is DESTROYS of winning sweet
smiles and hOneyed words from the fair sex,
inst let him invest in one of these equip
ages, and his desires will be gratified; nay,
he will be Satiated with attention.

Flowers, whether for dining table or par
Tor mantel, are never shown 10 so good adj
vantage as IN clear glass. A single rose i'm
one OF those slender crystal vases, is more
effective than a dozen blossoms in an
opaque vessel; and more attractive than the
rarest exotics clumsily arranged, is a sim
pie glass bOwlful of balsOms or naSturtium.
A cup and saucer can be filled with short
stemmed flowers SO as to have pretty pyra-
midal effect and indeed, do anything with
your flowers except tie them into hard, stiff
bundles, and they will take care of them
selves; you can't spoil them.

Will no one step up and secure the prize
that is surely awaiting the individual who
will invent few new songs for the use of
those youths and maidens who will insist
upon lifting up their voices for the delecta-
ton of their fellow-paSsengers in public
conveyances? Everywhere these charming
young people make themselves heard. The
whistle of the steam engine cannot drown
the melOdiOus OutpOurings, and the very
sight of n boat seems TO inspire them to re-
newed efforts. In tones of anguish they
inform their suffering auditors that they
cannot sing the old songs,
and the suffering auditors fully
agree i'm that conclusion. They
wildly call upon Juanita till it seems
as if that fair maid must start from her
grave; they implore their friends TO ''re-
member them, as if anybody could forget
them, and they declare their intention of
Immediately ascending golden stairs,
and everybody wishes they would be quick
about it, but instead of disappearing they
tell You that - a Mascot is a thing of old +"
The country calls YOU. OH, Genius, as yet
namelessl Go and receive countless bless
ings from the innumerable hosts of the
bored. LADY RAMBLER.
