A SUMNER GIRLS PLAN.
Some Advertisements That May Help Out
Summer Resort.

Some Advertisements That May Help Out
Summer Resort.
A particularly healthy and happy sum
mer girl, who has gained several hun
dred extra freclxles this season, suggests
rs the result Of her summers expe.ienc.
new form Of outdoor advertising.
Since people will decorate the land
scape with advertisements, she proposes
to replace the usual recommendation oI
soap powders and stove polish with
something in this style:
Found--On the beach at Pasuuisset
last August. by delicate young lady,
fine appetite, sound, healthy and in
good condition; alarmed at nothing,
from pickles to baked CLAIMS. Will be
kept until called for.
Lost-By an elderly gentleman, on
the shore at s q. m. in the company of a
dozen nephews aud nieces occupied in
constructing . sand fort: The opinio'i
that children are nuisances, and that all
the morning is good for is to read the
newspaper. One cent reward.
Found--Lying In hammock ON the
front piazza of the Sea View House, by a
tired housewife: Perfect rest.
Lost-By languid young woman, on
the mountain path: A taste for tears
and depressing poetry. Found-At the
same time: Good health and an interest
In nature.
Foundry pale youth from the city.
in sailboat ON the river: A fine color,
shading from faint tan about the ears
to rich red brown on the cheeks and
neck; very manly and becoming. Will
be surrendered to no claimant whatso-
ever.
Lost-By an overburdened mother, On
the rocks at sunset about the middle Of
the season: An irritable temper, and
the habit Of nagging. No reward Of
fered.
Lost BY fashionable girl: Any num-
Der of small affectations and an ali.
sorbing interest in dress. Found--Ten
pounds additional weight aud the abil-
ity to row, run and swim.
Foundry family Of fretful chill
dren, at the seaside: Plenty to do, fresh
Air and amiable dispositions enough TO
60 around. On communication with tie
parents of the aforesaid children, any
price will be paid to secure the retention
Of these objects.
The summer girl is quite sure that
such advertisements suitably posted
upon powders, fences and trees would
secure the fortune next year Of the first
resort to introduce them. Youths Com
