On the mountain-side, by the sounding sea,
Wherever indeed she's met,
The summer girl is q symphony,
poem 70 music set.
So the poets say. and perhaps they're right,
For she's surely vision sweet
In her fluffy garments so soft and white
And her russetS small and neat
But although symphony she may
To the ardent poet seem,
II must be confessed that she gets away
With a pile Of strawberry cream.
Society is Quiescent, recuperating for |
the ardDOuS fall and winter campaign; |
its votarles endeavoring TO gain health |
and strength by indulging In long ram |
bles, pleasant rides and drives, and out |
door amuSements, which shall bring !
roses TO the pale cheeks, and exquisite
roundness to the slender figures. But
one occasionally wearies Of riding and
driving; even tennis and rowing lose
their charm, aud as the summer girl
must be constantly in the open air, her
ambition this year Is TO have an amateur
photograph outfit.
OH yes, the girls are nearly all out OF
the city Just at present. But, after all,
the Wheeling girl is power in the land.
Go where she may she scintillates like
some "bright, particular star" Be IL
Europe or South America, Alaska or
thu tropics, the Wheeling girl quite I'M
derstands the proper caper. just now
she is a summer girl, and a charming,
captivating one she is, too. Her praises
are sung on all sides. Delicious, de-
Hghtful creature. How glad we all are
that she belongs to uSl But, then, she
IS a product OF our breezy, vigorous
vouR9 city, and could have come from
nowhere else. Mt. Lake Park, Deer
Park, Cape May, Atlantic City, and
Ocean Grove, are entertaining an IN
usually large bevy Of Wheeling beau
the this summer.
The friends Of Master Irwin McCrady
rendered him a very pleasant surprise

craft, of Dallas, Texas. The wedding

Whenever did womankind look love-
lier than now? So said our grand
parents fifty years ago, and so, perhaps,
will our children query fifty years
hence. But to-day there are no women,
or men, or children in all the dim past
or the bright-plctured future that can |
compare with the living creatures who /
make part of the world that is ours. |
Classic simplicity rules, and one can !
adore with comfortable mind, believing /
so little of work, money, or time /
has been expended. But ali! if one /
knew Every simple fold, every dainty
color, each tiny escaping curl has been /
studied, and dreamed over, and arranQ-
ed with all the care and ingenuity of a
fertile feminine brain. The result is
harmony and repOSe. Every detail is so
well related to every other, and to the
effect as a whole, that the woman is a
picture, a perfection, a something that
has seemed to grow Of itself, and not
one thread or hair chOuld be changed.
Gliding over the smooth walk, moving
majestlcally over velvet carpets or pos
ing immOvable with the artistic drapery
Of a train about her feet, the woman of
today Is a ''thing Of beauty joy Of
the passing moment If not forever.
