NEW YORK, Aug. Let no one sup

for the summer she is going to greatly alter
her mode of living. She has been independ-
ent, Bohemian and alone for ten months in
the year, and she is going to be independ-
ent, alone and Bohemian for the remaining
two months.
This is surprising that the girl bachelors
year begins Sept /, which. indeed, it
does. For, Sept. she returns to the city,
looks up an apartment for herself and
! chum-if she has one-and makes her plans
for the winter campaign.

regarding men. women and things.
Thus beautifully equipped with all things
necessary for the happiness OF any human
being possessed with the spirit which any
girl bachelor enjoys, this firm-hearted,
manly girl sallies forth with her trunk if
not Ia hand, at least upon hack, looking
for nice cool shady place not very far
from the city. A long railroad ride she
cannot afford, and besides she wishes to be
near town, SO that she can run in occasion

evening in the Roof garden or see the fire.

Having found Just the place which she
wants, she assures herself that the board

Ifyou will take the trouble to watch her,

through the woods, stopping only long
enough to take peep into the birds nest to
see how the young robbins are getting along,
and to bid good morrow to the sparrow
who has built down in raspberry hedge,
and who is frightened all day long lest
some one should discover the secret OF her
