No one knows where the summer girl
comes from. In the new order OF SOCIAL

called "nobdy at home; she may WORK
for her living. and have no prestige IN

not matter. She has not the environment
of wealth nor the cut-snd-dried chape-

THE SUNDAY HUSBAND.
The summer resort is a splendid field
for the student of human nature.
Not the least delightful person 20 be
met with Is the woman with SUNDAY
husband. Sunday is ss-widow s-day
at hotels along the railroad. when the
Chesapeake and Ohio runs the butter
milk train" The grass-widow Is always
pretty. usually young. and the most de-
voted wife IN the world-on Sundays.
During the week she Is the leader in all
the gayeties going on The girls adore
her as a chaperon. and refer TO her as
high authority in all their love anairs.
She plays tennis with the best or them
while the younger boys sometimes lose
their silly heads-and Is charmlngly naive

tunnel below Alton, she stands bere'
