ticeable. She is quite tall, and her man
ner is gracefulness itself. She chats
easily, and even gayly with her husbands
callers, and her bright eyes dance with
delight when anything is said of Mr..
Harrison's probable success. Yet, by a
modest shake of the head, she deprecates
mere lip service, and urges all to wait for
a count of the ballots.
A gentleman and lady are pow stopping
at a Bar Harbor hotel who have had a
queer experience. They met on the At.
lantic ocean, he proposed in Sweden, was
accepted in Russia, asked her fathers
permission in England, the marriage set
Elements were drawn up in the United
States, they were married in Algiers and
are now spending their honeymoon at
Bar Harbor. How is that for Capid as a
globe trOtter?
The summer girl says some good things
now and then in spite of herself Down
at Long Beach the other day, Il delightful
specimen sat on the sands teasing a youth
who was simply happy in being near her
and did not want to be aroused from his
protecting umbrella. She poured sand
down his neck and into his ears, turned
the umbrella until she got the sunshine
into his eyes and otherwise maltreated
him. He was a shrewd youth and not
only bided his time, but while he was
bldlng took a penny out of his pocket and
laid 1t out In the hot sand for the sun to
do its work. When it became nice and
hot he enticed the summer girl close to him
and when she was off her guard basely
slipped the penny down her back. Her
flannel gown was loose, and she made a
wild reach for her dress almost as far
down as her belt. She ciutched the
gown where the penny had lodged and
only remarked. Another good penny
gone to walst."
1t is an open secret that many charm
ing girls wear five and six pairs of stock
ings when in bathing costume, il order to
give their limbs a plump and attractive
appearance. In order, however, to pre-
serve the smallness of the foot, the feet
OF all the stockings save the pair worn
outside are cut off.
The coming mar is Lochinvar-that is
to say, like that impetuous Scotchman, he
comes out from the West" The West
ern man is beginning to be a conspicuous
figure IN Eastern society. The bold and
vigorous nature developed on the plains
makes the Western man very attractive
to the Eastern girl. Already he has
grasped the situation, and during the next
year there will doubtless be a general rec
ognition of the fact that the coming man
has arrived. Reckon up the case so far.
Mrs. Iznaga succumbed to the charms of
a Californian, and it is an open secret
that Porter Ashe, from the same state,
has been SO high in favor with Mrs.
LangtrY this summer that there has been
a marked uneasincss in the minds of other
admirers. At ~Narragansett, also, the
man who has easily held first honors has
been a young Missourian from St. Joe.
So far the specimens from the boundless
West have been the thin hanked, muscu-
lar and masterful Amelie Rives type of
male, and that sort has always proven pc
culiarly deadly to the girl of extreme civ
~ilization and culture.
Mrs. Agnes B. Marshall of London, the
Miss Parloa of England, was a recent

Brooklyn comes to the front for the
second time within a twelve month with
the announcement of the betrothal of an
accomplished American girl to an Ameri
canlzed Chinaman. Eight years age the
prospective bridegroom came to this couh-
try and after a few days sightseeing
opened a laundry on Smith street, Brook
Ign. When prosperity came he turned
his thoughts to religion, and it was in the
church and Sunday school hat his love
for his bride began and prospered. Bovine,
as the Chinaman is called, became quite a
power in the church. He gave up his
laundry and became a missionary. The
young couple will be married shortly and
proceed to Canton, China, where there is
a Presbyterian college.
