small part of the expense.

Special correspondence OF Inc Chronicle
New YORK, September s, 1891.
The seaside season is about over, and
the mountains have almost had their
innings. Persons who go to the shore,
for its sake alone, and who love qui
ct and the grandeur of the ocean, may
yet be found installed at some hotel
which caters to such tastes. September
is to many the very best month by the
sea. 1t is not usually too cool for enjoy
ment; the bathing is just as good as at
any time; the pushing crowds have gone
But they, alas, have taken with them the
one feature of shore life that gives it all
it's charm. There is no place for the sum-
mer girl except the crowd. The nour-
ishment of her being and the basis of her
growth is the admiration she arouses.
She has no business with solitude. Ma
ture, though she speaks various Ian
guage" and glides into ones musings
with "mild and healing sympathy"
makes too subtle an appeal for the under
standing of this gay creature. Her sea-
side campaign has closed, and if we were
to scan the ground of her conquests, we
would find it strewn with more wrecks
than the shore of the cruel old sea.
***
Apropos of the return of the seasiders,
or their removal to the more fashionable
resorts among the mountains, there is
good story afoat At one of the swellest
of shore places, the festivities were to
end with grand effort by the young
women to raise church money. They ar
ranged many of those ingenious and
charming devices by which coin is en-
ticed from the pockets of the susceptible
young man. But they signally failed:
The close youth smiled at their cunning
snares, and limited that it was all an old
story to him. The girls, however, were
not to be beaten by those persons whom
they were accustomed to lead willing cap
tive by the nose. They met and discuss
ed vigorous, picturesque and varied plans.
Some of the indignant damsels were quite
willing to sacrifice themselves to a de-
gree not authorized by the best rules.
A plan was soon found. A tent was
builded and the young men all invited to
come and bid for the possession of five
bathing suits. The program was actual
ly carried out. Five dilapidated, but
sweet bathing outfits were sold at auc-
ton. AS old clothes will, they bore all the
distinctive marks of the wearers' person
ality, and were hence eagerly bid for.
The sale was an entire financial success
for the cause of the church.
