young men The camp meeting girl is
one OF the best kind Of girls. She does
not always dress like her sister. the
summer girl but she wears her pretty
white embroidered frock when she thinks
1t appropriate At other times she
dresses In well fitting woolen dresses and
looks demure and sweet.
She attends the religious services regu
larly sings with bird-like voice and
listens earnestly to all that is said Be-
| tween the services she will sit in the,
front of her tent or stroll about the
grounds with a companion. She does
not think 1t wrong to mildly firt little
and her glances smite the hearts Of the
young men who like good girls.
There was much tossing OF pretty
heads yesterday as the promenaders
thronged the circle, and many a young
man had to beware Of the girl who
gives side glance and looks down. The
girls from the country are adopts at car
riage flirting. They promenade to their
carriages to rest, and are most lovable
when seated therein.
