AHH- dip a season is
GM enough for me,
and that if she
will only permit me aboard a yacht
again will seek the safest corner OF
it and remain there. She is obdurate
and as result / am piazza and rock
fixture. Harvey lie Royd, now that
he has recovered from the rheuma-
tism brought on by my rescue, is as
devoted to my interests as ever. l
find him extremely tiresome, and II 1t
were not that Mr.. Van Broom treats
me with such distant politeness l
should tell him SO.
I went up to Cambridge to Glass
Day last week, and reall enjoyed 1t
very much. I wore fetching frock
of white silk muslin over white silk,
with bands and bows Of apple green
here and there, I did my hair in that
facinating old fashioned style which
has just come in again, and altogether
i was picture on which the eye
glasses os Boston dwelt with appar-
ent approval. I put my foot through
founce in dancing, however, made
fun of the poem to one of the poets
best friends and ate a greater mixture
than was desirable, SO the day was
not without its thorne.
I have taken to fancy work. 1t
looks well, and I'm fond Of looking
well. All my silks, however, are deep
red. I have observed with pain that
great many of the girls use white
and cream silks, to the detriment OF
their appearance. White silks will
make even fair figures seem dusks,
but the most sunburned hand will
gather whiteness from from contrast
with red silks. Hence my choice.
The days drag rather heavily, l
confess. We drive a good deal. l
haunt Salem antique shops, and have
just learned from the superior Mr..
Van Broom, who knows everything,
that the antique dealers keep special
rate of prices for those whom they
scornfully term summer folks" l
have looked with suspicion on my
blue and white bargains since that
bit of information was given me.
The silly little schoolgirls and the
tiresome young men play tennis a
goog deal, and get very warm and un-
pleasant during the process. watch
them with scorn. How any girl, even
a schoolgirl, canbewilling to looklikea
bloozy kitchenmaid 1 don't see. And
who any man, even a college junior,
should find her attractive I can't dis
cover. Mr.. Van Broom and Harvey
LIE Royd are both devoted to the
abominable game. usually pose
for Mr.. Brush when they are playing.
He is giving me green eyes and fishy
sort of mouth, but suppose that is
what one pays for being painted by a
marine artist. Heigh-ho! I'll be glad
to get away from herei
THE WAY TO WALK.
American women are pretty and
witty and wise, but they don't know
how to walk.
"Horrows, how your women walk,
the Englishmen say. Ladies' tailorl
in New York say the very same thing
Unless a man is in love with her it is c
punishment to walk with the moderr
women. This Is what Yale Collegt
man Gays about the New York girls:
| "In rocking chairs they are be
witching. In the dance thay ar,
poetry personified. But in boots ant
gowns on the road COWS are not clum
sier."
What do you think of that now'
Summer resorts are wide open
Last Sunday the seaside hotels wer'
very we'll patronized. The fair guest
on the piazzas belonged to what nigh
be called the representative women
The were we'll dressed, but horrows
how they walked. 1t is not an ex
aggeration to say that they shook th'
piazzas.
/ There was very little tiptoeing a
Oriental Beach. Women who q
there have loads of good clothes ant
lots of money. Those who took thei
constitutionals last Sunday morning
were as gay as flowers, but the!
couldn't have made more noise going
round the house if they had beer
hoofed or club footed. 1t was sad t.
see them and painful to hear them
The quietest guest in her movement
was a sensitive creature dressed IL
mourning, who walked with cane.
Most women walk from their neck
their shoulders go forward and back
their arms swing, their hips wiggle
their knees rotate and their skirts flop
In this wabbling command OF the bod!
is lost, and the alternate pitching o
the weight from one foot to the othel
is both noisy and exhaustive. Exhi
! bition Of this sort throng Broadway
and Fifth avenue. The trip-hammel
tread is heard in the dinning- -rooml
and Railways of the best hotels an(
most exclusive restaurants in tn
city. It raises the dust from the car
pet of fashionable churches, 1t makeI
the elevators in dry goods stores sae
and the Fifth avenue stages rock.
The typical English Woman has tive
essential charms-a low voice and q
graceful walk. Her movements arr
quiet. She may not be altogether un
conscious, but she Is calm. Usually
