novel sight Of a new sort Of summer girl.
Early last Monday Miss Clara Barton came
out to stroll upon the sands, and visions OK
her all the week, boating, fishing, sea-
bathing and promenading the piaZZas, have
been frequent.
The object of Miss Barton's sudden con.
version to the summer fad has been very.
even though she may have triedto
conceal it under pretext OF social enjoy
ment She has designs upon all thesumneR
men to be found along the coast, and she
has come to meet them as Hahonnst cameto
the mountain-because the mountain would
not come to him.
One day George W Pullman and Miss
Barton were 'cIoseted" in one corner upon
luxurious sofa in the hotel parIor, and be-
fore he had left the little Red Cross woman
Mr.. Pullman had promised certain vaIuabIs
aids in the establishment ofcertain branches
OF the society in upper New York Nor
was Miss Barton content then. She en-
trapped several other philanthrOpic mill
Honaires, and ere they parted from her shs
had their signatures to certain little docu.
ments which meant much TO Der and her
work
HOW MISS BARTON LOOKS.
As summer girl it cannot Be said that
Miss Barton is pretty. Her mouth IS twice
too broad, and her smile three times too be-
nevolent And Ter hair is not pu1fed az
the temples, but just brought down flas
and licked smooth with a brush Her
sleeves have 10 balloon attachments, and
her skirts are FAR too shnky around the an
kies. But all have fallen victim 70 her
goodnessI She has an UnSelfish, earnest, L"
thinE-yoU- -are-so-k kind look that makes you
resolve TO give her something for her ever
lasting sufferers Omethin5, even it

as many naughty bathing suits as Lon

all her friends to find them, and when the
are dug out laughs hilariously and TRIP
