USUAL types.
First of all there is that fine stout, bux-
ON lady, who has come to the seashore to
enjoy herself. She wears a good city gown
Tor breakfast and glorious evening gown
Tor dinner. She wears considerable tewelry
at all times, but al dinner she always wears
her diamonds. There comes down, after
sne mas been alone for a week or two. her
husband He, too, has his notion of sum
mer enjoyment. and he smokes all day and
talks all day. and he and his wife take enc
short walk a day. They are both extremely
ponte 70 the other guests. and on all oc-
casions they wear their company manners
1t Is true the wife boasts somewhat She
Is accustomed to having people respect her
husband and perhaps TO look up to him in
tne little household of which he is the head
AT home, and she desires the same treat
ment. II possible. in the big household OF
which he is not the head She sits in the
parior In the evening and talks to the
other stout buxom ladies who are there
ana they mutually endeavor to impress
upon each other an idea Of their respective
Importance at home. As for her husband
ne spends the evening smoking and talking
on the porch 1t Is hard to con .eive that
they gather much excitement from their
vacation, or much of genuine relaxation
and ease but they must enjoy themselves
after their fashion, or perhaps they enjoy
most the talking about 1t after they get
home.
Then there is the angular maiden Iadv
"thout whom no summer hotel is complete
She Is quite alone. but she soon knows
every body in the house, and then nobody
else Is alone. for she is a creature fond of
csHihs IN 10 SIT with you in your room, or
equally fond OF joining you on the MIA zza
or OF walking with you. After a very short
acquaintance she feels that she knows YOU
quite well and you have yourself received an
elaborate account Of her whole family and
nave seen the picture Of the nephew that
she most particularly adores That nepbew

ing down TO Day her visit, and when final
~ ne does put in an appearance for a two
days stay she trots him around and intro

IN the hotel and even gives him a semi
introduction to the walters. This excellent
iady never wears diamonds or glorious
evening gowns, and you have an uneasy
Ieehns mat she Is very poor. and that some
richer relatives have given her the money
with which she may take this vacation She
Is very good soul. and 1t Is to be regretted
that she Is not handsome and that no one
mas married her. If you are a charitable
man you feel this very strongly and Won
perhaps wish you were ar emperor i'm order
TO compel some man to marry her. but YOU
would not like any one to compel you 10
do 1t.
In corner Of the hotel veranda sits a
mother and her two grown-up daughters
they are not pretty, and their appearance
puts them in the middle class of life An
DAY long they read novels. and in the even
Ing the three take walk together and at
ter sitting together for O short time In the
parlor they go to bed. They are never
file In to breakfast together. and they wait
FOR each other to finish the meal, so that
they may not be separated. You may no.
tice that they do not talk very much. but
the only talking they do is to one another
They never speak to the other guests and,
having stayed at the hotel for three weeks,
they leave 1t. having made only one ac-
quaintance, and that one the day they
left. 1t may happen to You that the next
winter You see face on the street and
wonder where YOU ever saw ii before until
you finally remember that 1t was one of
the family that occupied a corner of the
hotel piazza entirely apart from the other
people and whom nobody knew and who
knew nobody.
The Irrepressible BOY.
1t would not do in treating Of this SUBJ
5ect to pass by the particular boy of the
house, who acts as captain Of the other
boys. In whatever school he Is being edu-
Gated, there is certainly no course in mod
esty. for this frank youth is on terms Of
perfect familiarity with everybody. He
knows the man who drives the hotel bus
intimately and calls him by his first name.
and he speaks to the old gentleman who
used to be judge In very much the same
way. and says How dye do, Judge" with
out the faintest idea that 1t would be proper
II he took his hat of to the Judge. He can
tell you all about anybody in the hotel. and
he is the one to inform you that the dis
MISUNDERSTANDING foreign gentleman whom
you met strolling by the beach Is the 1tal-
ian chef who reigns over the hotel kitchen.
This boy has no respect for anything
that Is inactive, and he Is death to your
slumber or to any repose you may wish to
take. The hotel piazza Is his favorite race
course, and he and his band Of followers
make more noise than a steam roller as
they troop around the hotel over the re-
sounding planks. You don't know exactly
how to take this boy, and yet you are
really afraid OF him. You know that should
you incur his displeasure he would be quite
certain to take his revenge and render
life very miserable to you. You wish he
had been taught better manners, yet you
cannot but feel that 1t Is wrong to wish
he had been drowned in his infancy. Every
summer hotel that takes children" has
one more Of these boys.
But there Is a grown-up boy at the sum-
mer hotel that attracts even more atten-
ton than falls to the lot of the noisy
youth. This is the summer man, who APP
pears with fannels and tennis shoes and
q briar-wood pipe and a tobacco pouch
work by the fair hands Of some one who
must be in love with him. He goes in
bathing. he walks, he plays cards, he leads
the hotel german. he organizes picnics he
firts with fifteen or twenty of the 300
girls at the hotel, but his usefulness in
this line Is impaired because Of the hone
lessness of lis ever being able to accom-
plish anything where there are such over
whelming numbers to contend with Final
" the young man abandons any attemnt
at doing his duty In this line and firts with
one girl out Of the 500 She accents bis
homage compla Gently, and the other 2.9
girls at once start report of an engage
ment.
The Delights of Scandal.
Then the hotel wakes up. and the aneu-
lar lady, and the stout, buxom lady, and all
the rest OF them have a congenial occupa.
ton in necessarily watching the coupIe
that are reported to be engaged. The over
active. disI espectrul boy is impressed into
service. and great deal of news he
brings in. He tells 1t to one person, who
tells it to another and so on. Perhaps by
some chance that it would really seem
difficult to avoid the young man is seen
kissing the young girl and If so then there
comes perfect storm of gossip. There is
small scandal at the hotel, and what
could be finer? If the whole affair ends in
smoke. IL there is no genuine engagement.
