| SUMMER soclai JOYS.
A summer bereft of a hammock
would be to the American lad and
lass a dreary and unromantic period.
Given good article Of moonlight
aud a hammock big enough for two,
and there is no combination which
will more rapidly and thoroughly adj
vance the cause of Cupid and bring
about the lighting of Hymen's torch.
Between the moon and the ham,
mock there is certain analogy. A
young moon is very like hammock,
and when Luna appears in the west.
her crescent apparently swung be-
tween two invisible trees and fastened
with a pair Of bright stars, the anal
ogy is complete. One can readily
fancy an angel swaying in the celes-
tial hammock, which is said also to
contain man. And the idea is so
apt to fix itself in the mind of the ar
dent mortal who gazes westward that
his first impulse is to get hammock
and an earthly angel of his own, and
then to sway joyously to the rhythm
of two hearts that beat as one.
As an aid to Irritation it is twin
sister to far.
If a couple ever trust themselves
to the support of the same hammock
at the same time, whether at West
minister park or elsewhere, Cupid has
his own way thereafter. The pair
must of necessity be brought into
such sweet proximity that every par.
ticle of formaliiy and reserve is melted
away, into very thin conventionality.
HOW THE YOUNG LADIES DRESS.
The young ladies and misses dress
just as near like the boys as they can
and preserve the identity of their sex.
Wooden shirts; rolling collars, with
the roIlicklpg large necktie, tied in a
bow knot, the ends futtering in the
breeze; navy blue skirts; fair leather
shoes, ard a cap of some soft, light
texture, the front pulled down toward
the nose; and when standing still,
one foot forward the other, as if brac-
ing against some impending sudden
jar-such is the style here. Alto
gether, their make up is jaunty, raw
ishing. becoming and supremely
lovely. (BOquets not expected by the
writer.)
JONAH AND THE WHALE.
"Fish stories" are now ripe and
are being harvested. The crop is un-
usually good. The other day E. w.
Stephens, of Columbia, was telling
how eve caught twenty-six at one
seance." The Rev. DR.. HiIlman, an
eminent Baptist divine, ofNew York,
whose hair is white with the baptism
of many years, overhearing Stephens,
said: 81 caught fifty (?) to-day and
returned before five o'clOck-all black
bass, the lightest weighing about two
and one-half pounds"
Although no more thoughtless youth,
It's folly to be wishing
That he will reverence the truth
Stephens turned his head away.
venturing casual remark as to what
the weather would be in Missouri on
July 4. Later he said: "The Bap,ists
are little better all-around truth
tellers than others" That night DR..
Hillman and Stephens went to Bap-
fist prayer meeting in the village of
Clayton, where, / reckon, they evened
up the fish stories II some manner or
way that was in accordance with the
practices and f ,linsS Of the Bap-
fists. / noticed one thing, subse-
quently, that DR.. Hillman and
Stephens told no more fishing yarns
to each other, but each talked on that
subject to outsiders.
