no wonder everything made you tired.
9th. You did not stay at one place
long enough 10 become acquainted OF
TO enjoy it, and SO dislikcd most the
places you stayed the shortest time.
It'll. You are in love, not with the
"nice young man" YOU had in your
party, but with the one you left be-
hind you, which no doubt gave you
more concern than the seven nephews
you left with eleven felines, for he
was left to the charming influence of
more than eleven females, which,
alone could explain why YOU hurried
along your extended trip.
And you will remember that it has
been well said, shat happiness is not
without but within us"
And so the ''young man" wanted TO
take your picture in your bathing suit
Were you posing as ''Fenus risingo out
of the sea-" or the "Goddess of Lib
erty 2" or maybe you would have us
think of "Discordia at the banquet of
the gods" But from what hear, l
imagine the "young man" wanted his
''Kodak" TO take your picture as Nelly
Blye, who travelled around the world
in 70 days. For they do say that Won
confessed to lying awake all night
looking out the car window, "for fear
of missing some of the sights" and
visited Fortress Monroe, "Trip Raps,"
SOLDIERS Home" and "Cemetery,"
'Indian School, and other points Of
interest before breakfast; that you
did ''Virginia Beach" in few
hours was last seen in Washington
City with grip in hand hurrying to
the "B. & @" depot for New York
City, which rate of travel one of even
your constitution could not stand.
And l hear you have been sick ever
since your return home, which conse-
qucnce is not to be wondered at.
Mary Jane, l want to give you a
final warning for your own benefit
and the benefit of unwary travellers
If you think of going to nice, cool
place to have a pleasant time, you
don't want to 90 in rush and hurry
'Tand in an unpleasant frame Of mini,
ion any place is warm when 0na
is hot, and no time Is pleasant when
one does not feel in pleasant mood.
If in your opinion the bathing is poor
and the fare is Indifferent, you should
state on what you base your conclu-
sion, rs the large majority seem to
hold a different view. And if from
the two meals you ale at Hygeia
you could form a fair and impartial
opinion that the fare is indifferent,
though you do not state in what re-
spect, you are Il genius, only l 4 Just
that you will never be judged as par
tally or hurriedly. And if served by
an impertinent and incompetent frv-
, ant, do not think all the other SERVANTS
that way, but report the impertb ent,
change the incompetent, and bme-
times "tip" will work wobders.
And in conclusion, my dear Mtry, l
must say that l am more anxious than
ever before to take the trip 70 Old
Point Comfort, and hope that ybu will
go with me on the next eXfIrsion,
when we will give that place Ind its
people fair and impartial tfal. In
the meantime l trust that iou will
have fully recovered you nomal and
healthy state of mind and body. /
didn't mean to write such a long let
ter, but wanted to write y4 the re-
suit of my inquiries, whfh is not
meant to "punish you" or anyone else
in any way whatever, for you know
that / have the highest iegard and
best wishes for you. Kbwing that
you will survive this efl'us bn, am,
Yours exhaustiYly,
MELyINY HTTERcUP.
