STocKBRIpGE, July 81, 1S91.-In these
lazy summer days is it not WEAKNESS to
talk, even about gowns? The little grand
children of Edwin Booth are dragging toy
express-wagon up and down on the lawn in
front of the hotel piazza, and a lady who
has been pulling the curls of the younger
seats herself on the lower step and puts
scarlet cushion at her back, as she tells me

sat in low rocker slipping her ice under the
heavy shade of an oak tree, there was ocea-
sion to notice her interest in a vagrant chip
munk of adventurous disposition, her low
tan-colored shoes tied up with pink ribbons,
and the ruching of rose petals in crinklsd
silk about the bottom of her gown. Her
bodice was draped across from left to right
and the Florentine sleeves had high wrist

by Mrs. Wilcox, and the motif for its publ

recitation. In response to this ever-increas-
Ing demand, have selected for this volume
the poems which seem suitable for such q
purpose" One of the peculiarities of Mrs.
Wilcox's poems is their suitability for recita-
ton, for nearly every one contains a story
OF Intense interest. Many of the poems in
this volume were written for the purpose
stated, and the others have been chosen es-
pecially for tlIeir dramatic possibilities and
for the opportunity they give reciters to dis
play tHelI aoUlty. lno DOCK also contains

membranes.
IcoPYRIGHTED.1

This happened at Ocean Grove-that
conscience of Asbury Park, you know.
1t was evening, a lovely moonlight
evening, when the ocean was shiny and
the sand looked white, in the lovely
light which was shed by Luna and her
rays. They were seated upon the sand,
Margery and Jack, and they were talk
ing over old times. Perhaps they were
talking over new times, and times which
were to come, but that doesn't count
now, because it has nothing to do with
the story.
It was rather cool evening and the
wrap which Margery had taken with
her was thrown over both herself and
Jack as they reclined upon the sand. 1t
was generous wrap and eveloped them
from Jacks big tancolored shoes al
most up to the tip of Margery'S saucy
chin. All around them upon the beach
there were similar couples, and behind
them upon the BROAD walk people were
patroling in groups of twOs, threes and
tours, singing and talking and laughing
in the merriest fashion.
So it was by no means lonesome
scene nor secluded one, and that is
what shade Jack and Margery all the
madden when the thing happened. As
they were resting lazily there upon the
sand, with Jack kicking the sea shells
about and leaning his head upon one
hand, and Margery polIing holes down
into the cool sandy depths with her
pretty fingers, there suddenly appeared
before them a tall, burlY, blue-coated
guardian of the peace.
