| Her eyes were tender aud big aud brown:
| Her breath as sweet as the new-mown hay.
Far from the west the faint sunshine
Glanced sparkling of her golden hair:
| Those calm, deep eyes were turned toward mine,
And d look Of contentment rested there.
/ see her bathed in the sunlight flood
see her standing peacefully now;
Peacefully standing chewing her cud,
AS rubbed her ears-that Jersey cow.

Some people, when the mercury
flashed up into the nineties In the early
season, thought it would remain there;
so those who were going away hurried
their preparations; trunks were packed
and outgoing trains bore tourists, who
departed for mountain top and ocean
side, for lake and forest, all anxious to
get away from the facilitating heat.
However, those who remained az home
have been comforted by the delightful
breezes, which came as suddenly as the
hot weather, and enabled the young
people to enjoy more than ever outdoor
sports, Of which lawn tennis is first
favorite. With the advent OF midsum-
mer comes a relaxation for the familiar
hostess. Her name is on the Tout
of town list" as she speeds away
TO join friends at distant points. She
who remains at home draws the shades
and in the twilight of her darkened
rooms, enjoys the quiet OF a reStful
hour. Time is fitting, and the friends
who are with US to-day, will soon have
turned their faces in another direction,
and we shall recall the memory Of a
more than welcome guest. No cause to
complain that social life has been dull
during the past few days, for to enter
tain and be entertained is the province
of society, and yet society has been in
dulged with but few extraordinary fes-
tivitieS. The matrimonial budget is way
below par, and prospects for the imme-
date future are not dazzling bright,
though hints of coming events are cast
ing their shadows before. Life by the
water has to great attractions for the
many to visit, and the result is only an
occasional dropping in" of friends to
pass q pleasant hour. Formal calling Is
tabooed TO such an extent during the hot
days that the infrequent visitor is more
than apt to be received in a costume
which is notable for comfort rather than
elegance.

The game of cards with which certain
watering places are amusing themselves
is constructed practically like the
game "Muggins." which, played with
dominoes, beguiled many an hour Of the
youth of the present generation. But
there is refinement Of drollery added
TO the present sport, a device Of the
French players. A bit of burnt cork Is
provided, and, as often as player loses,
dainty spot Of ebony is imprinted on
his or her face. The effect is sufficient
ly ludicrous il the player be uElucky.
The sight of grave and sedate elderly
lady with the tip of her nose, the cor
ners OF her mouth, her temples and her
cheeks touched with black is apt TO be
sufficiently laughter-provoking. A lit
tie artistic skill in the use of the burnt
cork enables the marker completely to
change the expression Of the face upon
which he is operating, and clever
touch will sometimes alter the apparent
age of a person by dozen years.
