What bad boys there are at Asburyl
The summer boy here is little demon
in human form who goes in bathing with
all his clothes on and keeps his mother
and his various nurses at high concert
pitch all the time. This is owing to the
absence Of the paternal presence during
the week. Feminine correction means
nothing to an American boy, and that's
all they get down here, for you can't
very well take your eldest hopeful one
side and administer a corrective spank
ing with whole hotel full of guests
ready to declare you inhuman for SO do

An Eccentric washington woman.

There is a woman in Washington So
ciety whose eccentricities in certain lines
are so well known as to pass without
comment. Her position as matron of
literary proclivities is the motive for sun
dry gatherings at her house during the
season. On one occasion the guests bid
den to the literary feast were informed
upon arrival that they must enter by a
side door, as the morning being rainy
they would otherwise track mud over the
hall carpet. That the hostess is not so
much respecter of persons as of things
is further evidenced by her conduct at
an afternoon reception.
Those of her guests whose garments
were ornamented with jet were asked
during their stay to remain in the second
parlor, where the furniture was of ma
hogany. This sorting out process was
explained by the frank announcement
that if people would wear sharp orna-
ments on their clothes she must protect
her own property by excluding them
from the sacred precincts of the first par
lor SO that the rosewood furniture could
not be scratched. Kate Fields Wash

railroad from Cincinnati, has also to
handle some passenger business that re-
quires Napoleonic genius-to wit, the
