ONE GIRLS SUMMER,

UNE GlRL(S SUWMEA
A Sacrifice That Broush1 Itsour
Great Reward.
They made ON attractive group q
they sat In the station waiting for the
south-bound train. There was Mrs.
Arnold, plump smiling matron OF for
| ty-fve, whose mature charms lost moth
Ing when contrasted with the youthful
prettiness OF her three slender, stylish
daughters. y, tf.,, ,;,,'
There was Bob, who had inst reached
the age when, from being supremely
Indifferent as to the color Of bis gloves
and the ft Of his coat, he had come to
regard these questions as of paramount
Importance And lastly, there was
Eddie, the household pet who Just now
was fattening his nose against the win
dow, eager to obtain view of the train
which was to carry them away from
the city's dust and heat.
Mr.. Arnold, who had been looking
otter the baggage, came into the room
and glanced about him with the pecul-
lar air, noticeable In the heads Of so
many American households, of being
scarcely acquainted with his own fam
fly. Even the life Of successful bust
pess man is not without Its shadows.
When Mr.. Arnold's children were
younger they had been very fond of
their father; they were fond Of him
now, indeed, but with the claims that
society put upon them It was seldom
they found time to show their feeling.
Cant you come down to Clifside d
week from Sunday7" Mrs. Arnold
asked, as her husband dropped into
seat beside her.
Mr.. Arnold shook his head. II guess
not. It's 80 late Monday before 1 get
back to the city. Perhaps next month
I can run down for day."
He ran his fingers wearily through
his gray hnir. and his oldest daughter,
Helen, noticed an unusual shadow on
his worn face but before she had
time to wonder ut It's meaning a shrill
whistle sounded
Eddie jumped to his feet, exclalmr
ing: ''She's tumminr She's tA,mmin'i'.
And in the confusion OF hasty good-hys
all else was forgotten
CaiRside is charming during the sum-
mer months From the sandy beach
the cliffs which give the place It's
Dame, rise tall and majestic toward the
sly. Before one stretches the chang
ing sea, behind one the fields slope up
TO the edge Of the forest. There Is a
fresh breeze at Clifside on the sui
trdest day. I'm feet, there isn't 70
sort to compare with IT," said Mrs.
Arnold that evening as they est On the
hotel piakza, and the rest OF the family
enthusiastically agreed with Ives.
That night Helen woke her sister
with an impatient exclama&iom Grace
