SUMMER OUTINGS AND THE SUMMER
GIRL.

The summer vacation question is one
that occupies more and more attention
each year. The number of city resi-
dents who prepare for an outing as the
season comes around annually increases.
AS a matter of fact, a large majority of
people who live in cities do not take a
trip to the seashore or country or other
wise recreate themselves, but, neverthe-
less. the custom of doing SO is becoming
more fixed and receives general APP
prevail. 1t is undoubtedly a good thing
for every man. woman and child to nave
a change of scene and occupation during
the year. For most persons OF mature
years, rest from every form Of mental
or physical labor is to be desired. but
comparatively few realize what is best
for them, and the tendency is to flock
to already crowded resorts, and in IN
comfortable quarters and with other un-
satisfactory accommodations to take
part In the feverish life Of the summer
hotel. In discussing this subject in a
current magazine, Robert Grant lays
the blame upon the daughter Of the
family-the summer girl. She, not un-
naturally, wants to 60 where there are
other young people; where there is dane
ing. flirting and gayety. n where, h
may meet the imagined man who is to be
her fate. Her parents prefer other and
quieter surroundings, probably, but she
dominates them and has her way. Mr..
| Grant admits that the girl has virtues.
but he charges her with tramping on
the PROSTATE form OF her mother from
| the 1st of July to the LIST OF October
with more energy and determination
than she does during the rest OF the
year. That he is fairly correct no one
who has observed the ways OF the sum-
mer girl can deny. In the majority of
families her rule Is supreme. The wishes

York Sun.
In one respect at least New York differs
from all other American cities, n that is
in regard to the importance of the reading
rooms Of its hotels. There are in New
York 229 hotels. exclusive of apartment
houses with restaurant attachments Every
hotel in New York or elsewhere-every gen
hotel, that is-has a reading room,
and in il are TO be seen gathered the most
accessories Of a hotel-the news
stand. the telegraph office. the telephone
office and the railroad and steamboat ticket
office In a country hotel the reading room
is the seat of great activity, and IL seems
to be the bounden duty Of the transient
male patrons Of the hotel, as well as the
regular male boarders. to be In the reading
room as long a time as possible between
meals. and usually a late conner Is Obliged
to wait his turn for a seat at one OF the
writing desks or tables or for a chance to
read one of the newspapers which are kept
file.
According to the observations OF all hotel
men throughout the country, the smaller
the town the more important the hotel
the hotel reading room. 1t is
apparently in corroboration OF this rule
that the reading rooms OF most New York
hotels. though furnished in attractive sfvle
of guests, are usually deserted. or. IL not
are patronized chiefly by persons
not guests of the hotel. In other words

Rev. DR.. Talmage has been studying the
Workings of a newspaper Office pretty close
ly, judging by the following remarks:
One Of the great trials of the newspaper
to see more of the sham of the world than
any other profession. Through every news
paper office day after day go all the weak
want to be pulled, all the revenges that
want to be reaped. all the mistakes that
want to be corrected, all the dull speakers
that want TO be thought eloquent. all the
ticed gratis in order to save the tax Of the
advertising column. all men who wan, to
c~rae eS. philU ~sgeh with stories as
long as their hair and as gloomy as their
finger nails in the morning, bereft of soap
ali the bores who come to stay nye min
utes but talk five hours. Through the edi-
torial and reportorial rooms all the follieS
and sham of the world are seen day after
day. and the temptation Is neither to believe
in God, man or woman. 1t is no surprise
to me that In this profession there are some
skeptical men. I only wonoer that news
paper men believe anything.
What he says OF this acquaintance with
shams and follies and weaknesses Is true
Newspaper workers have the seamy side Of
human nature revealed 70 them, and early
in their professional life they learn not
to accept as truth all that seems OF its
surface to be such. They become quick and
accurate readers Of character. and cease to
be surprised at any of the revelations which
insight and circumstances may make; new
ertheless, it is not true. as Mr.. Talmage
seems to imply. that they are apt to doubt
both God and man. They do become cyni-
cal after a fashion. but it is a mild, good
natured cynicism. Having ceased to have
illusions concerning their fell-ow-creatures.
they expect nothing. and are not disap-
pointed. but they learn tolerance They
smile satirically at the weaknesses of hui
mainly. but they arc not misanthropic be-
cause Of them On the contrary. they are
most kindly and sym~pathetic in their atti-
tude toward mankind The ability to pene-
trate shams does not necessarily embitter
them: it makes them better able to appre-
ciate the good which exists, IN spite Of

humbug and vanities. Possibly the oisillu-
sionment might lead to more general dis
trust n skepticism were II not that the
born newspaper man possesses a sense OF
humor which Is his salvation 1t enables
him to laugh at the foibles OF human kind
and carries him safely over all the de-
pressing incidents OF his work He laughs
because he Is amused. and not because he
is soured. Perhaps he does not look upon
life with the seriousness that 1t deserves.
but he is unable to see that to a k it Sc
riously would benefit himself or others. and
so he laughs at it and is able TO bear what
it brings.

Two Chicago papers loudly demand a
reform in the methods Of celebrating
the Fourth of July. So far as Chicago
is concerned the demand is well ground
ed. Six persons were, killed and scores
of others mutilated, some. OF whom will
die, while many will carry the evidences
Of their folly during iife- This, injury is
cusable, to hoodlum who are never ex-
cusable, and to adult idiots whose
proper place is the insane asylum"
Hoodlums threw giant crackers into
cable cars. injuring several people. and
grown persons fired r~evolvers and rifles
in the streets. In fact, Chicago seems
to nave had a very bad case of Fourth
Of July, and to have in its vast popula-
ton several thousand people whom it
would be better off not to have, even if
their loss should make it's enumeration
smaller than that of New York. 1t would
seem, however, that If a score Of those
malicious persons who threw giant
rested n sent to the house Of correc-
ton the evil could be prevented. AS for
persons who fire revolvers in the streets
Of a city, a brief period in the peniten-
tiary might prove a warning to others.
But outside Of Chicago there was a
great deal of recklessness and careless
ness in the use of rearms and the Chi
nese inventions to make noise. This
city escaped serious injury or damage,
though the firing was almost incessant
for twenty-koaf HAhodSas.s.y Much of it.
however, was under the direction of the
heads Of families. which probably pre-
vented the accidents which are record
ed in other cities. The ARRAYS about
saloons. which are the cause of a large
part Of the fatalities Of the Fourth,
were avoided here by the general OBJ
servance of the wholesome law requiring
that such places be closed on holidays.
They can be avoided In most cities by
similar methods. 1t is probable, how
ever. that city governments will soon
find it necessary to prevent the firing of
crackers, pistols. etc, in the streets and
alleys.

Grant ~counsels rebellion against this
despotism. The girl has rights, he adj
mits. but they are not paramount to
those Of her parents. Many parents will
doubtless agree with him. but they are
likely TO realize that rebellion is too
late. Like the rule for the training of
a gentleman, which requires that n
begin with the grandfather. the parents
need to begin with the daughter before
she has reached the summer-girl stage.
The American girl has all the merits h
has been accredited with, but she has
some faults. and they come from the
fact that she has been put too much in
the foreground. Her parents. not she,
are at fault for the belief she entertains
that she is entitled to the first considera-
ton on all occasions. They. and not
she. are to blame for her domineering
spirit and her aggressiveness-traits
that are not admirable Faint indica-
tons are observed here and there, how
ever, that the mother is beginning to
object to being -shelyed at middle age
and to feel hat it is not necessary hat
she sacrifice her ~inclinations to suit the
daughters social convenience. The
American mother has been ia shadow
for a long time. but she Is really a de-
lightful person. and society and the in
dividual will alike be benefited when
she emerges from obscurity and takes
her proper place. When that event
takes place the question OF summer out
ings for the family will at once have
fewer complications han those ,noted by
Mr.. Grant as existing now. !
