the park by Mr.. Arthur Bates Butter.
There was much merriment In the

Mrs. Capt. II. W. Smith, OF Martins
Ferry, entertained her friends Wednes-
day afternoon at a 4 o'clock dinner at
her elegant home in Walnut Grove.
The affair throughout was very enjoy
able occasion.
Did you ever see Girl-a summer
girl-write a letter? She gets into the
coolest of costumes and selects place
where the breeze comes through the
windows to play with her hair and scat
ter the papers on the desk. She selects
an easy chair, or pulls the table up close
to a divan. AS suggested, her dress Is
decidedly neglige-cut Vneck, back and
front. She glances hurriedly over the
letter she is TO answer and begins. She
writes at a rapid rate for a few minutes
and then stops and fixes her back hair.
She reads over what she has written,
then glanCes over the letter and goes to
work again. This is all repeated half
dozen times before the letter is finish
ed, which usually requires at least an
hour. 1t is hard work, aud she heaves
a sigh OF relief. OF course she has to
add a postscript or the thousand
and one stories which have been
told about this being the
best part of the letter, would
not be true. When the letter is fin
ished, she seals it, stamps it, spends five
minutes at the mirror, and goes right
down the street to post it. She does
not carry it in her pocket for week, as
do the men. 1t Is useless, however, to
make sport Of the summer girl and her
letter. II makes some heart happy.
Every old bachelor has in the bottom of
his trunk, or hid away in bu-
reau drawer, a package of letters from
this summer girl. They may be faded
and yellow with age, kut he knows each
one by the envelope and reads them over
when the days are gloomy and there is
no sunshine in his heart. The girl may
have long ago married some other fel-
low, and be now the mother of several
romping boys, but to the old bachelor
the letters bring back visions Of the
bappiest moments of his life. Memory
holds in her bouquet Of forget-me-nots
no fairer blossoms. Each one is a
hearts ease, "pansy for thought"
