bad to say it, only a fraction of all that
loneliness can receive the appreciation it
deserves. For a census that l had taken

doubtless have shown q similar ratio. Ii

have been more surprising, for In two

Saturday nights and Sunday mornings,

But everything eau not he disposed Of so
lightly. APTop0s: A party OF four
young men came down from town, and at
a fashionable hotel met six pretty girls OF
their set. There was, you zee, halt q girl
too much for each youth. Two of the boys
had to return TO town in a few days, and
the number Of girls in the meantime had
increased two times and a half. The

of them despairingly last night, "what
can two fellows do TO amuse fifteen girls?
And then consider the expense"
SIMPLICITY AND RAGE.
Well, consider the expense.
But girls are reasonable beings.
They are willing to forego ice cream and
yachts and carriages this summer. They
seek only attention, companionship, the
distinction Of having an escort. Oyster
stews are sure to come with winter.
Simplicity is the rage anyhow. Girls

LOVELY RED.HA1RED GIRLS.
A ed-headed girl, ! believe, never turns
brown. That, | understand from q learn
ed physician, is because she has too much
iron in her blood. 1t is the iron that gives
the fine Titan hue to her hair. Ifshe had
less iron in her blood her hair would prob
ably be brown or chestnut or perhaps
blonde. The varying degrees OF redness
that you See in different red-headed girls is
due to the different proportions of iron in
their blood. A girl with glossy, brownish
hair that shows red in O strong light has
only q fair share ofiron in her blood, but a
bricktop, if / may be permitted the ex-
preston, a bricktop is full Of iron. The
doctors know of no neutralizing the effect of
the iron. Perhaps they wouldn't resort to
il. even if they knew it. Fer it is the iron
in the blood that makes red headed girls
80 strong and hardy and good-nstured. Il
also is the cause of freckles. which are very
good for the health. And it is noted az q
singular thing-probably also having some
relation 70 the iron in the blood-thst
mosquitoes never bite red -headed girls. So
you zee, according to the dictum of this
learned physician, a red headed girl has
many advantages over her dark-haired sis
ter.
And red hsired girls are picturesquely
numerous here this year. There is always
a good spriukling of them at the hops, and
as they are so clever in everything, they |
are always light and graceful dancers.
They reyel in the bath, aud, standing off q
little from the surf, near South Carolina
avenue, at one period this morning you
might have fancied that some one had
spriukled the sea with fac large straw
berries. After q bath the girls throw a
towel over their backs and let their hair
stream down over their shoulders to dry.
There was 80 big q group Of them dry

imagined them a sunset on a small scale.
Red-haired girls, blondes, brunettes and
semi-blondes all are wearing Whit here
this summe. There is an absolute rage for
white, morning, afternoon aud evening.
White caps, white null or muslin gowns,
white slippers and fleecy white wraps.
Lots Of girls 60 in for the large, mannish-
looking white felt hats, turned up at the
side and skewered to the hair by big black
headed pins. Brunettes with big black eyes
and long silky lashes look particularly trim
and roguish in them. Agood many blondes
are wearing fuffy arrangement Of white
tulle that an oblieing girl told me are called
''butterfy caps" aud she added: They
are so light they might be male of butter
aies' wings" Sometimes the tulle viii be
pink or blue instead of white.
A young woman created q mild stir by
appearing at a hop last night with her
"butterfly cap" ornamented with half Q
dozen big gold beetles fastened to the
white null by yellow silk threads. Tam
O'Shanter caps in which every girl with .
pleasant, sun burned face is sure to look
well, still hold their own. A tall, fine
