At the Regent Inn, Aug. give came
on shore to be a day and a night at the
inn so that the handsome girl might have
adance and also an opportunity to display
her pretty frock. That sort Of thing APP
peals to me very much. I do thoroughly
like a woman who has keen appreciation
of a pretty frock. enjoys wearing it, and
is very happy in the knowledge that
other people are looking at her 1t is an
essential feminine trait, and one which is
as innocent as possible. 1t has no touch
of vanity. but it is pure, simple delight in
the possession of beauty and a
desire to make others share that pleasure.

where we could see the dancers, and
laughed quietly at the cynic whirling

sound of his favorite waltz. He had forgot

The pretty girls only represented to him
so many good dancers, and slender,

admiration from him because she seemed to

FAIR WOMAN As A MAGNET.
The Handsome Girl was surrounded by
admirers. And we all felt duly elated,
for she was part of US. She looked hand
some in a way only possible TO New
York girl She Crrried herself well, her
dress was admirable. her skirts swung in
the latest fashion, and her bodice was cut
so it gave a tantalizing glimpse of her
neck and allowed one to see the perfection
of her arms. She danced, and, | grieve
TO say, ! think she hirted a little bit but
when you are just twenty, beautiful to
look upon, the moon is full, and you are
walking on a veranda that looks out on 10
the glittering waves, are you to blame for
being a little bit OF a coquette?
She left the room, and we weren't pay
ing very much attention to the people in
there. when the Artist said The Queen
is dead Long live the Queen!' Then
we looked. In the place of the Handsome
Girl stood q slender, sweet-faCed girl,
with great big soft eyes, the lids of which
seemed TO have a trick of dropping down
over them, as, If when a stranger looked
too long in them he might read too much
Her hair was parted and drawn softly
from off her face, and fastened in a loose
knot in the back Her gown was a white
muslin trimmed with lace and about her
waist was a blue sash The frock lacked
the air of smartness peculiar to that worn
by the New York girl, but 1t had a some
thing equally attractive, though absolute
ly indescribable. The girl spoke softly as
she gave her fan to one man TO keep, her
gloves to another, her handkerchief to
another, when she went to dance, and it
seemed to me that / had never seen a
woman dance before. They were playing
one of Weber's old-fashioned waltzes, and
she appeared an embodied spirit floating
through the air in response to the sum

answered: 'It's the ideal summer girl"

with question. Where does she come

said "I'll prove it."
Leaving US, he sauntered over TO where
shewas, and said something to her; she
looked up at him, looked him full in the
face, then gave him her hand. grew quite
earnest, they talked little longer. then
he stopped over. and with great respect
kissed her hand and returned to us.

NO, but ! am Miss Randolph's cousin;
