Gertrude Atherton, says the New York
World. went to Bar Harbor two weeks ago
in search Of fresh air and character STUDIES.
In less than two days she was reverently
snnroached by dozens of the summer girls,
iii Of whom were profoundly impressed by
the presence of live authoress. Two or
tbvee OF her experiences with them were
very amusing. But she was absolutely I'M
able to see anything funny in the following
incident:
night when two giddy and gushing young
things of 10 or 20 came up to her and began
TO expatiste on the charm of books 20,
Mrs. Atherton," said one, clasping her
hands and looking at the author OF
"Herma Suydam" with large, appealing
ewes, Il have enjoyed your works so much.
You don't know how they have helped me
and strengthened me and made me long for
a-er-better life" Mrs. Atherton was
naturally pleased. She saw before her a
Young person of marked discrimination.
(which did you like the best" she asked
gently, as she beamed upon the summer
girL 80, l like 'em all so we'll that l
couldn't possibly say which was the best"
said the S. G. feelingly, but think, per
haps, the one l enjoyed the most OF all
was-'Vashti!'"
And then the atmosphere became so cool
that the young women gathered their
Shawls about them and reverentially with
drew. But to this day the gushing young
woman can't understand how she offended
Mrs. Atherton.
A certain young creature OF the genus
summer girl residing at an out-of>town car
svansary, saws the Philadelphia Times, had
determined to return home this fall en-
gagged or die in the attempt to corral man.
With this end In view she selected her vic
tim and employed all the wiies In the femi-
nine category to lure him into her net. For
time he responded with avidity, and her
hopes rose high until a carload Of new
boarders arrived, among which were several
other charmers, younger, prettier and bet
Ter dressed. From this on the attentions OF
the eligible captive were divided among
the three, and though No. / still strove, she
felt she was on the losing side of the mar
ket. One evening, to her delight, the beau
of the trio invited her out for drive, and
with beating heart and spirits high she
felt that the eventful occasion had arrived,
and that she would return wearing an en-
gagsment ring on one of the slender fingers
She ad even thought out the style and ma
terial Of her wedding gown, and no hap
pier girl could be found in all the great
wide world.
Asluck would have it the night was dark
and all things seemed propitious until an
unusually short turn upset the carriage and
threw the occupants IN opposite directions
right out on the messy bank, which, OF
course. prevented them from being injured.
Hurrying up 10 her the escort threw his
arms around her and in tender accents
asked if she was hurt mo, lam not hurt, y
