Nav YORK, Aug 22.-It was at the At
lantic Highlands, and it appeared on tho
piazza one awfuIly pleasant evening last
week. 1t wasn't very cold. and it wasn't
hot at all. And that is just the state of
weather that one wants and expects in the
summer.
But on this particular evening there was
mighty pretty girl on this particular
hotel piazza who was mad all through. She
was so mad she couldn't be aay madden,
and who will say that she had not just
cause? Listen to Ter little sputter and
splutter, and decide for yourself.
"What do you thinkp exclaimed she.
"What DO you think saw this morning as
sat down on the beach watching those
nasty excursionists. A great crowd of
them came out of the lighthouses, and ono
of them had on such a pretty bathing suit
that | couldn't help noticing it, 1t was
lovely! 1t was made of pale gray silk,
trimmed with dashes of silver embroidery

There were red stockings to go with 1t
and a lovely little red cap 1t looked so
much like my suit that l couldn't help
looking at it. II attracted my attention
the minute the girl came out of the
bath house, and the more | looked at her
the more was sure that that suit was ex-
actly like mine, SO | took walk over to-
ward the girl. And what do you think
AS got nearer l saw that the suit was

mistress had rented it out to an excursion
list. because she knew that would not come
do wn to bathe when there was crowd on
the shore. And here | am paying her
dollar day to keep it wrung out and the
silver beads polished up brightly! How
dare she rent it to a nasty old excursionist !
And a great fat woman at that who must
have stretched it all out of shape! III have
her arrested or I'll put her in the newsoa-
pers or do something just as HORRIBLE
Don't you think that girl had cause for
indignation9 And yet that same thing
happens every day, but it isn't very often
that it is found out.
A gay young woman, wiser In her day
and generation than the former one, spoke.
Said she:
"Why, what a silly girl you are, my dear,
to go in bathing in your good suit, and
above all to leave it at the bath house. Now
-
one is for show and the other isn't. The
common one is just an ordinary little yell
low and blue affair, made stylishly, of
| course, and cut without any sleeves and
awfully low in the neck. 1t has nothing
| else to recommend 'ibs except very short
| skirt. This is the suit that wear when
intend to hide myself in the waves. 1t is
| put on just for hasty duck, and my maid
or my mother or some other nice safe per.

with me, and holds my cloak while l skip
into the water, founder around and come
out again. Then we 60 up to the bath
house, and take off the suit that lsn'S for
| show, and put on my lovely little French
bathing suit which is meant to be seen.
Then go down and sit on the sand and re-
ceive my friends. / look lovely and fresh
| after my din in the water-my complexion
shows that | have been in, you know-and
my suit is just too sweet for anything. 1t
isn't a bit sandy or nasty, you know. And
that is the way manage"
but what has that got to do with rent
ing out your suit when you are not tnerel
You didn't tell us that queried tie ag-
grieved maiden and a chorus of others.
10, yes, forgot to tell you how l man
age that. When / get back to the bath
house take my wet suit and pin up both
sleeves by winding big safety pin through
The bathing mistress sees this and she
knows that she can't play any little game
| on me. The other suit is brought down
each time l want to put it on, and when
go home wear it up to the hotel so as "a
give treat to poor, unfortunate people
who haven't such pretty suit. The sight
| also has good effect upon any Of my ad-
| mlrers who may chance to see me. For a
woman never looks so well as when she is
/ 6CanfilV Cl0thod. that ic IN eha a N
OF good figure and nice proportions"
And the fair little mink smiled compla-
Gently and famed herself with an air thai
said that she appreciated the blessings
which nature had showered upon her.
Speaking of Lillian Russell reminds me OF
| q story about her which is entirely new and
which enjoys the rare honor OF never hav-
| Ing been in print.
A few weeks ago newspaper article ap-
peared giving illustrations Of Lllian's home,
showing her at her piano, in her library and
IN her dressing room. The artist who is
said to have made the pictures had never
before seen Miss Russell at close range, and
when he had the pleasure Of actually talk
ing with her face to face, and OF observing
| the matchless beauty of her figure and the
grace or her motions, he was SO enchanted
and intoxicated with delight that he, ac-
cording to his own admission, was beside
himself with joy, and could scarcely take
the pictures which be went forth to make.
fortunately for him, the artistic instinct
was strong within him and be secured pict-
ures that were simply ravishing. When he
TOOK them back to his editor the latter was
delighted and straightway had an article
written to go with them But the poor art
lst was disconsolate. He had gazed upon
the beautiful witch and he longed 70 see her
again. But how to accomplish this was a
grand problem. He had no earthly excuse
Tor going again. his riches were not sutfi-
Client excuse to permit him to 60 as the
bearer OF diamond crown, although the
dictates of his heart suggested several dia-
mond crowns-a whole tiara OF Kohinors.
How then was he to accomplish itg
Almost tearfully be went to the editor.
IL am afraid those-pictures- didn't
como out just right" gasped he. IL
think had better go and try to get some
otherS-I-I am sure could do better next
time. 1t is 50 hard to get good pictures
the first time--so hard-don't you know
you see-yes. think better go again."
The editor was a wise man. He was used
to dealing with artists and with newspaper
people and he tumbled. He saw through
the wiles Of the artistic man. and he knew
that it was just ruse to go and bask again
in Miss Russell's smiles.
The artist was hired by the week to exc
cute the artistic commissions and the editor
with that stonlness which is in the make up
OF most editors, said to himself that he did
not pay man to go and loll in the luxury
Of the smiles of any fair woman. That 1t
there was anything of that kind TO DO done,
he preferred to do it himself. And so with
a cold, hard smile, he announced that the
pictures we're excellent and that on no ac-
count would he have them changed. And
