Inc girl VINO feels languld and llfeleSS the
moment the mercury mounts above the
eighties should not aspire TO be q summer
girl. Physical endurance and the ability to
entertaining and amusing in the dog
days, as we'll as picturesque are imperative
qualities for this role.
sssIo sum it all up, then, the girl who blCs-
sous ont like a su.lfoWer In not weather:
who has hair and complexion that are not
demoralized by heal; who terminates in
neat feet and who IS upholstered in fetching
costumes, that girl is successful summer
girl, even If she goes no further than the
veranda act and sis all day long under her
red parasol displaying pretty boots aud
hosiery and pretending to read.
Men will leave the dancing girl with the
limp rolling locks, aud the tennis girl with
the fish scaled nose, TO lean over the verandA
girls chair and talk sweet nothings and keep
other men away.
Add to these qualities, however, positive
prettiness and the accomplishments of row.

have the perfection of the summer girl
fitted for any sport, equipped for any OOn-
quest-and who, seeing her with nature for

It is not every man who will put his fasci-
nations 70 the Test that Young New Yorker
recently did, says Clara Belle 10 the Repub-
tic. The youth is unquestionably hard
some, well-bred, ard heir to a large fort
une. Some little while ago he lost his heart
to a gorgeously fine girl in his own set, one
who had just bloome1 into the social world.
and was the craze of the moment. he was
the best catch of the season from every
point of view, aud as she was not rich and
had mother VINO was of practical turn
of mind, the pair became engaged without
trouble. Strangely enough, while the young
mau loved the girl madly, he doubted her
affection for him. In a small way he Is
pessimist, and he was unwilling to accept
her sweet smiles and fond behavior as com
plete proof of her devotion to himself. He
longed for some way to test his hold on her
affections. Perhaps the method he resorted
to at last was dishonorable. He allows as
much. but he declares that he has saved her
and himself from life of misery, and,
therefore, the end attained was highly
moral and admirable.
The engagement became broken by the
advent at Long Branch-where both the
young man and his inamorata were living
with their ia nilies-of an English gentle
man Of perfectly refined and modest de-
meanor, who was registered at hotel as
plain Mr. C" but who soon became
known in a small circle as viscount in one
of the best families in the English nobility.
He himself never referred to this point. but
1t was fully believed AMI it was on the word
of the young man before referred to that the
statement was accepted. They had been in
the same college at Oxford. and the
New Yorker told every body that the Wis
count preferred travelling incog., but was,
in reality, one of the greatest OF sNells. He
introduced the Englishman to his fiancee,
and then proceeded to watch events. He
had not to wait long for the denouement.
At the end of NO weeks the girl led him to
a secluded place, and, with tears in her
beautiful eyes, told him that she had mis-
taken her heart, that she did not love him.
And then the following heartrending con-
versation ensued:

"Oh, yes you do. Try to think. Is there
someone else you have learned to prefer
to me"
No answer.
THAT means yes. And is that someone

as Wise punt M-p
No answer.
Your silence is an affirmative. Do you
intend to engage yourself to DIR. c. after

No answer.
"Of course you do. Well. then, it is

the game to see how stable you were. He has
done nobly and hasten TO thank him for saw

This is the story as-well, 1t must not be
said who told it. The Tilted jilt, however,
is not enjoying her summer to the extent
shesnad anticipated.

to come into lot OF money not long ago,
and Mrs. de x concluded to dazzle the
inhabitants of Brussels, where they had
STAYED good deal in her poorer DAYS. So
they hired superb hotel and inaugurated

said, bowling, and without even putting the

the papers. His comprehension delighted
