As has been well said. " II takes all kinds
of people to make world" All summer
resorts are more or less epitomes of the
world, and the Warm is no exception 10 tho
rule. The company Is made up of great
variety and contrariety. Here Is Miss
Cantcatchirn. who always manages to have
beau ut her side and never secures one;
and her opposite, Miss Doubt Fulage. who
declares she greatly prefers ladies' to mems
society. Her associates certainly are OK
the gentler sex, which gives some sem

OH no, that does not express IL. Gentle
reader, IL you never saw q creature really
downright mad, here was m opportunity
for you. To say the AIR was blue is mild
expression. 1t was positively insutferaole.
Ladies. and gentlemen too for that matter,
retired 10 their rooms and waited patiently
in anxiety OF mind and iniusuferable atmos-
phere for the subsiding of tho storm. What
would be the outcome OF the fussy little
fellows tempery Inquisitive heads bob0ed
out of windows and doors from time to

brought that the rate little one had been
brought TO terms by old Johnny Holloran.
