with that appreciation for beauty that
is his most distinguishing characters

couldn't. There were too many pretty
things to permit; for there were pretty
bonnets, pretty flowers, pretty rib
bons, pretty colors and pretty girls, to
which pretty aggregation he added
himself as contrast. Had there been
fewer girls he might have better
recollection of the bonnets, but all he
remembers Is that they were things of
beauty and delight to the eye. They
were shades and shades, red and red

is regular hurrah blue-the color

imaginable shape from the CENTER
board sloop to the schooner-rigged fin
back, and there were spinnakers and
out-riggers of birds, flowers, foliage
and ribbons. The little lady who took
us in tow held dream in huzza dain-
tily upon one extended forefnger, and
a poem in white with bird on it on
the other, and asked us if they were
not pretty? We knew she wouldn't
drop either of these hats for anything,
but there were so many other pretty
girls around that we couldn't take ad-
vantage of the situation.
