NEW YORK, Sept. 4.--Cup, cup, cup.
1t Is nothing but the cupl Cup dinners
cup suppers, cup excursions down the
bay, And that is not all: there has sprung
up out OF the September winds a new
creation, the cup girl, and so popular is
she become in these Dunrayen days that
the summer girl is completely forgotten,
and even the pretty girl is extremely in
sipid compared TO her
Two English girls now set the type for
the cup girl. They are the Ladies Rachel
and Aileen Dunraven. They are followers
OF the cup, literally chasing it over the
ocean Tor the second time, and they hover
around 1t, as 1t stands i'm Tinany's win
dow Tor all to see, and they hurry along
the Nalkyrie's crew to get IT.
The cup girl of America is an English
creation and an English entity, so far
as her appearance Is concerned. for she
models her cloaks after the English cous-
ms, who have sailed for cups for genera
tons, and she has the ship walk OF the
Wales Princesses, who are the enthu-
siasts of the Britannia, and she copies the
ways of the Dunraven sisters. who are
very amiable girls Though not strictly
pretty, as our pretty girls co. they are
sweet tempered. strong. well-bred and
very pleasant companions. The cup girls
all know Lady Rachel and Lady Allie"
But Americas cup girl has distinct attri-
butes Of her own.
cUP ACCOMPLISHMENT.
In these days. speaking Of n woman.
II is not "Who is she?' but what can
she do2" The cup girl can rise at little
before light, dress herself as prottily as
though for an afternoon sail. take
hearty breakfast, walk a mile and step
aboard a yacht. The mists are on the
bay. but she does not care She has wet
that front wave of hers with alcohol and
steamed II dry over hot tOngs. and she
knows that her bangs Will stay i'm shape
through the wctness and breeze Of the
early sail She has put on cork-soled
shoes looking delicately dainty but lined
with the spongy material to prevent wet
ting her feet. and when the spray dashes
over the deck she holds her place intre-
pidly. Perhaps she is at the wheel for
minute doing real duty.
"Ho-hot calls out the saiior-owner.
"You are getting wet boots. my sailor
LASS"
"Nay-nay." calls back the yachtswo-
man, I'm for p'intin' her nose 70 sea
in spite Of the waves. for we've a clear
day ahead"
Every one laughs at the drawly sea-
fare-tone Of the cup-girl as she sings her
answer back over her shoulder in imita-
ton OF the old Captain who is immense
" tickled by the bit of drollery. and every
one loves the cup girl the better and votes
her greater success than any other kind
OF girl ever seen. She is the only one Of
all the seasons vista OF girls who can sit
with feet in pools of water and yet be
able that evening to lead the chorus OF
the popular yachting song in clear
voice.
The cup girl is n very willy miss In
fact. she isn't quite all she seems 10 be.
Notice please, how she insists i'm keeping
on that thick mufling coat Of hers. That
coat with its immense satin sleeves, Is
heavy enough in texture 10 ward off the
spray like water from ducks smooth
back Note how she keeps that white
broadcloth coat buttoned TO the chin and
how she settles its skirts around her and
adjusts the very bewitching feather trim
ming.
VIKINGS DAUGHTER.
81 am too warm" she insists; then she
adds carelessly, with slight lifting OF
the tip-tilted nose, II think l must be
descended from seafaring ancestors back
in the Viking days. To me all seasons
are alike upon the sea, Never too hot
never too coldi Always a thick coat,
never warmth nor chill"
She carelessly steps away 10 the breeze
ward side of the boat as she says TINS.
Little cheat She pretends by her walk
and her absolutely unrufiied appearance
