begin to blend their identities The summer
girl is an apostle OF the TriIby craze
this season. and she had devoted a good
deal OF attention to her feet preparatory
to the summer campaign, and she goes
barefooted with her pink soles and her
polished toenails down ON TO the sands by
the sea. She sits in the sand with her feet
in al theft nude and rosy loneliness stick
ing out in front OF her, dazzling the sun
shine, and tempting the rays aud the

Then at night she bathes them IN lemon
juice, and puts cold cream and pink To-
tions upon them, and eventually she tFeads
hearts beneath them. Her bathing suit is
more abbreviated than in former years,
and her hair was never FURNISHED so
smoothly over her shapeIy head. She can
talk about the up-to-date novel, too, and
she believes in mission for woman, and
thinks about it good deal while she
polishes her toenails. The summer man
learns about the new woman.

This was supposedly on purely sentimental
grounds. II was pointed out, hOwever,

The energetic ana ambitious woman of
wealth aud leisure is an interesting study
as regards her time destroying pursuits. II
she has brains above the tUifiiDE details
of suits aud trappings and forms and cere-
monies she goes into the arena as philan-
thropist among peuniiess and progressive
women. This step establishes her IN the
world of mind. Later on she takes up
charity on a large scale, aud she steps
into society on its shoulder. Her tact,
energy, uuwearied powers for directing,
planning, organizing and uphOlding are in
diSpeuSable to her. Back of II all, how
ever, is enterprise. She is at heart com
merCial in her instincts.
