Correspondence OF the Evening Star.
HARPER'S FERRY, w. Va,
August p. 1894.
The prosperity which has visited SIMMER
resorts in every direction this year has not
slighted Harrer's Ferry. TIE season has
been an exceptionally satisfactory one both
from the standpoint of those who provide
and those who are provided for. All OF the
re guar boarding houses have been filed to
overlooking during the month just closing
ami many cottages adjacent to them have
been pressed into service.
When the Saturday night train arrives.
bearing its precious load of husbands.
brothers and lovers. the usually s;aid and
quiet village OF Harper's Ferry is simply
beside Itself. COnveyances OF every de-
scr.ption are Offered for the transportation
of the aforementioned in lispensa Dles and
they are quickly driven up the rocky hill
road to the places where their wives sis
tiers and sweethearts are temporarily To-
Gated.
The summer boarder contingent of the
population Of Harper's Ferry finds amuse-
ment in many different ways. Informal
card parties. dancing and riding
parties do much toward making
things lively. and they are thoroughly en-
joyet by all, and especially by the young
tender devotion with which the country
boy applies himself to the entertainment
OF the visiting young ladies'. During the
winter the na:iv. bellies quite suffice, but
when the warm summer months again roll
around he feels the need Of a change and
rest. How the country girl enjoys being
thus placed upon the back seat three
months In the year Is not known, but We
have every reason to believe that when
winter comes again. the necessity for
amusement compels her to overlook the
shortcomings of her inconstant companion.
During the present season. the heights
back of Bolivar. overlooking that town and
Harper's Ferry. have come into prominence
as being excellent locations for summer
boarding houses. and already several such
houses have been opened
