That all important question, where to
spend the summer, ~ again trying the I'M
settled minds. Most of the girls are
literally worn out with the WEAKNESS Of
dressmakiug. which comes each spring
and steals from us the lovliest days or the
year. Instead of playing tennis aud going
out into the woods for rambles and
frolics then, we are changing last sum
mers frocks, because forsooth, the drap-
cry this year should be little further to-
ward the back or putting in new sleeves
because more fullness Is demanded by the
fashion plates. We inwardly rebel, but
how easily we all yield, ami then after
literally wasting May and June, we find
ourselves tired out:--We must 90 away.
But whitherY A look around one's
comfortable rooms and the thought of
departure brings . pang OF regret. The
towels at Green House at Asbury Park
always did smell musty aud the sheets at
Hotel Brown in the Catskills always
were butt How damp they were some
of those cool nightsl But all this is for
gotten when the natural beauties of the
several places are considered.
AsBURY PARK.
After all, what a lovely place Asbury
Park isl the bathing is perfect and the
streets always clean, and IL you don't
want to 20 to the hotels, try one of the
smaller houses at North Asbury. There
isn't Iovelfer place to row than here.
Sunset Lake, with its seven tributaries,
offers new beauties TO the explorer at
each trip, and the timidest girl in the
world can row all by herself. Isn't that
luxury To be abls 10 sit all alone and
row as much or little as you please, or
else to drift and dream, and all girls have
their dreams, don't they2 OF course It Is

they say you don't know how or they let
you do it all, and comfortably sitting
back they cslmly give you orders and
constantly tell you that your right stroke
Is stronger than your left, or that you are
going into post / remember that at
one end of the lake there was big ice
house and we used to steal the cooling ice.
1t was ike heaven when we got TO the
seventh tributary, and it reminded us of
the nursery rhyme,
One, two. three four. 1--WE, six seven,
All good children go TO heaven.
And we always felt that some unseen
Fate had decided that we had been very
good girls when we happened to be able
to steer our bark toward this Seventh
Heaven course. Because you must re-
member it isn't always easy to follow il.
Another pleasant thing about the Park
is that you are always meeting some one
You know. Why, how do You dog'
when did Won conner" and similar re-
marks are always heard on the board
walk. Then, too, husbands and lovers
find it very convenient to take the sail
down to Sandy Hook and thus Poor
Papa" or Dear George needn't be left
out entirely alone In the heat or the
city.
Among the hotels here which are
especially favored BY Jersey City people,
the New Brunswick seams to take the
leati.F But take stroll over to Ocean
Grove in August and there you will see
any number of Jersey City friends. And
do you know, although it is in a different
wax, of course. think the girls at the
Grofe enjoy themselves fully as well as
thefF sisters across the lake They are
truly good girls and they find pleasure in
their duties and in hearing leading
speakers lay these duties down so
plainly and forcihlg.
LONG BRANCH.
A little nearer home is the famous Long
Branch. It's lively there, but how one
must dressi And then you can't sit on
the beach or the pavilion and dry your
lovely tresses in the sun in the informal
way you did at the Park. As for the
drives, where can you find more oeauti-
full ones than from the Park to Long
Branch, through Deal Beach, on TO pict-
uresque Hollywood, and then stopping at
Huyler's to get glass of plain Soda" to
save up to pay for the rig if you are
alone. or ''ice cream soda and mixed
chocolates If the boys are with you, and
they want to save up because they must
pay for it.
OTHER RESORTS.
Many, of course. wifi 40 the Atlantic
Highlands, and /. for my part. think
their choice a very wise one. There is no
doubt that the sail back and forth TO the
CITY offers a great attraction to this
place.
Fully as popular as any OF the above re-
sorts is Cape May, where the Presidents
family has settled for the time being.
The fact that Governor Albeit and his
family will go to Spring Lake gives it
added attractions, and Red Bank on the
lovely Shrewsbury offers temptations to
those fond of waiting for the crab that
never comes. Monmouth Beach has its
patrons. and Garret A. Hobart and his
family are already domiciled in their
lovely home there.
When one considers that these are only
a few Of the delightful places, one is
forced to wonder why so many pretty
bro,ys are puckered up and so many lips
are seen to mutter. Where shall we cor"
