Say, girls, did you ever go away to
summer resort, far away, not to the big
bullrous resorts, but to some select and
secluded and fashionable resort, and
find only one or two young men availa-
bic, or perhaps irritable? And these
same two young men came right from
Wheeling, same as you did, and for
want OF something better, and the de-
sire to impress people with the idea
that you were sin the swim," you hob
mob and look in the presence Of these
"hOme" young men with as much zeal
as though they were scions Of royalty,
and yet right at home these same
young men move in altogether differ
ent clique, and the chances are that
you don't speak to them twice during
the year after you get back. Funny
scenes at summer resorts.

The Crescent Banjo, Mandolin and
Guitar Club know how to have good
time, and most always have it when
they start out with that distinctive pur-
pose. The concert given at the Stone
Church at Elm Grove afforded great JOY
in itself, but there were other things
that also afforded JOY, notably the long
ride to and fro with congenial lady part
ners, and the wholesome sociability that
rent the air. 1t rained, to be sure, but
the occupants of the various vehicles
snugly repOsed behind curtains, and all
was well. The JOY within completely
| Offset the rage of the elements outside,
and the affair was social hit.
