York, in conducting religious services al
one of our watering places some years
ago. took occasion to pray for all young
persons who were suffering from the
effects Of unrequited love. Though unu'
sual, II was unquestionably legitimate
object OF prayer. We trust that visiting
divines Ut our resorts this season Will
follow the example OF this one. How
ever, the field would be an alluring one
and It might be difficult to know when to
draw the line. because the social world
presents so many other characters that
could not be neglected. The overworked
chaperon would have TO be remembered,
as would also the inveterate match
maker, the would-be bachelor. ensnared
by the summer girl, the man of two en-
ga8ements. the couple that is married
for fun"-these and more would require

The following is taken from the Cane
May correspondents letter In the New
York World:
Cape May has long been considered III.
most popular resort OF the wealth and
arfstocracy which is to be found soutb
OF Mason and Dixons line. The Soutb-
erners have never faltered in their de-
vouon TO the wide benches and quaint
ola places hereabout. Many of the hand
soonest women who come here are from,
Maryland and Virginia. One of them &c
Mrs. Ida G. King. perfect type of the
Southern lady. She is a defendant Of
the Randolphs, and has all the rare grace
gentleness and beauty for which a long
line OF ancestors have been celebrated
Mrs. King is stopping with friends here
FOR the summer.
Mrs. Sarah Bruce, who left Richmond
some months ago for a tour through
Scotland and England is having most

thoroughly.
Deisarte teachers give their pupils foot
exercises; loose stockings are worn. The
toes are taken In hand one at a time,
and wrung In the piggy wiggy fashion so
amusing to babyhood. The practice is
continued until the joints are responsive.
Then the five toes are worked sngiy,. IL
possible. until something like the fiexi-
bility Of the fingers is achieved. The
ankle has five movements-up, down,
right. left and rotary.
So much for Delsarte expression. 1t
seems that the New York pedtcure peo-
pie have been taking lessons. Now they
are giving treatments advertised to re-
move bunions and other caliosities, and
TO restore the natural beauty OF the feet
Of civilized society.
II was anticipated that to-day Rev.
Or. Burton would take formal farewell
OF the people among whom he has
ministe red with such ad nirlble result
for a number OF years. and to whom he
has so greatly endeared himself. How
ever, owing TO the pronounced indispo-
sition Of Mrs. Burton. whose arduous
Efforts In behalf Of the Georgia booth Of
the Bazaar. followed by the strain In
cident TO the removal OF her family
from Richmond to Louisville, have left
her quite FRUSTRATED, 4 is doubtful IL IL
will be possih.. for Dr. Burton 20 leave
the city tins week, and II is not unlikely
that his people may have an opportunity
TO enjoy his eloqucnce and his presence
for another Sunday. No minister has
ever lived in Richmond who has. in the
same length OF time. accomplished great
er good, or won more general esteem and
regard. The regret at his resignation is
universal, and Ii is certain that his
charming wife, who has been a real force
in the social life OF the church, will |
be as greatly missed as himself. But |
what Is Richmonds great loss is Louis
ville's lnoalculable gain and while we |
earnestly regret the former. we cannot |
but congratulate the vestry OF st. An |
drew's upon their recognition OF DR.. !
Burton's high qualifications IN his voca- |
ton. the noblest of all vacations. Our |
earnest good wishes. sympathetic inter |
est and sincere regard follow him 10 the |
new field OF labor. and. We know, of |
success and honor.
