He WHO PLAYS AT LOVE.
There is another summer girl, too;
just as pretty just as sweet IN her
toilet, and just as good, but She is
stumbling over snags; She hasn't had
the wise training Of the girl who Is
close 10 my heart. and 50 she has gone
and let that poor, little heart OF hur's
90 ont TO a man who doesn't cure Que
particle for II. And he is going to
play with II us he might tennis ball
In the morning her heart beats for fear
he won't ask her 10 drive; then IN the
evening II beats with delight because
he has asked her to drive. and, gradi-
ally she is getting 10 have nervous

like taking hold OF that man and ask
ing him If he knows that he is break

shame to treat the summer girl that
way.
AN IDYL or THE DAY.
In this work-a-day world Of ours he
the summer girl is the nearest thing ia
an idyl we have. and We want to keer
her that She is a sight that is good
for tired eyes and which makes heart,
that long ago have ceased beating with
rapidly commence their throb again
She Is like "a story book One OF thoa,
sweet old books where love is the key
note and everything ends happily; moi
one Of those horrid books OF to-day
where the hero and heroine analy2,
each other closely, where they differ on
the subject OF either politics or re-
ligion, and where, as they should, they
never do get married. or worse
still, do get married and then part
never 90 speak TO each other again
OF course, il is the happy marriages We
never hear Of in real lie, but We dc
hear so much Of the unhappy ones. d.
let us in our story books have a here
and heroine who marry, a wicked mar
who reforms. and wcds the heiOinei
cousin, and then his oldest son, who il
heir to a great fortune, must marry IN,
heroine's daughter, who hasn't a penny
but who is as beautiful as a picture anC
lovely altogether. That is the sort Of {
story | like. People do enough nasty
thugs in life without their doing then
in books, and think 1t is quito TIM
that the publishers refused all book
