She comes with the flowers and grasses
and song birds of summer, does the sum
mer girl. and is as welcome. Without
her. summer would not be half so sweet
as it proves to be when it is full OF her
Young men find the summer girl at all
summer reSortS-at the mountains, at
the lakeside, at the seaside, and at the
spring and well watering places, where
sick people and those who are tired go
10 get well and rest. No one knows
where the summer girl comes from.
No one cares. She may be what society
calls Nobody" at home. Perhaps she
works for living, and has no place in
the social world of idlerS. The young
man may never see her again. IL does
not matter. II his heart is not hit hard
he will not miss her, and she, she knows
she is a summer girl, and expects the
summer attention paid TO her will end
with the summer. She is out for va
cation, and will make the most Of it.
She is a good girl on her own account.
She has not the environment OF wealth
and social standing and cut-and-dried
championship. Whatever she does and
says may be known TO all. Bless her
sunny face and cheerful voice and
merry eyes! She brings sum
mer gladneSS TO all the places
she visits, and makes sum-
mer life joyous to all whom she smiles
upon. She is the life of the picnics and
grove parties and lawn games: and rid
ing or rowing in the moonlight, her
voice is clearest and sweetest among
the singers. Young men of high and
low degree flock about her for the glad
ness she gives. No frolic is quite COM
pete without her. She has tact, too,
and can make the young man slow OF
speech talk easy, and can repreSs the
one that is too fresh. She is clever
enough TO make all her admirers respect
her and respect themselves. II one too
bold wants kiss he does not get it, but
he is not crushed by her Indignation;
she will seem pleased at his want while
convincing him that the giving OF such
sweets might not be quite proper fer
him nor wise for her. And so he may
sit at her feet and talk of love, to
which TIE young mans fancy lightly
turns, and swear by the moon until that
sentimental and silver orb gets full or is
reduced to it's last quarter. 1t is sweet,
and it all goes with the summer girl.
Wall flowers Of society who have seen
too many summers, who have loved and
fingered and got left without lover,
say the summer girl is flirt because
she has so many summer young men at
her feet She is not. All OF them are
only one to her. She would give up
any one or all of them il the wall flowers
could but hook them away with whiting
tendrils that lean away from the wall
with an imploring wit-thou look.
The summer girl steals nObody's lovers.
They all come to her and give them
selves to her for the summer. She is
not to blame for living and for being
sweet. She is the fragrance of the
season, the breath of clover and dew OF
heaven, the roses by the waysde that
belong TO no Oue-Only to God-and,
like roses and all sweet things OF the
summer, the summer girl Sweetens and
makes summer gladstone, more beautl-
full, and charming. One OF the chaps
who has been there and wants TO go
again, sings of the summer girl like
this:
She's coming with the flowers that will bloom
for us once more.
She's coming with the breeZeS that will blow
along the shore,
The sun will ki>s her ringlets and will tinge her
cheeks with brown,
While he who loves her madly grappes fate and
tolls in town,
And Cupid. with the arrows that he's given her
TO twirl,
viii guard anew the footsteps of the sprightly
summer girl.
When the robin redbreast hops around while
yet It's early dawn.
And tennis players dot the green Of grassy Held
and lawn,
Wen see her dressed in percale with walking
stick in hand,
And in her brothers necktie will she stroll
along the sand,
And where the crowd is thickest in the summer
hotel whrl,
VIII bloom,once more the beauty Of the charm
ing summer girl.
With glossy collar shining in the light OF sum-
mer days,
With vest and sash, and blazer we will learn
anew her ways,
Young Cupid will instruct us how to pierce this
thin disguise
OF masculine attire that hides the maiden heart
Prize,
And when once more We claim her as the sum-
mer's priceless pearl
Wen hail the smiling features Of the jolly sum-
mer girl
