 "She is all piquancy except for the leaven of sentmentaiity that causes her to pose of a moonlight night She is breezy and bright, a butterfly queen without convention and stuffy drawing rooms. Her life is half a year long with us and she makes the most of it. It is one gala day. full of diversion and ham, mocks and light novels and cheery Laughter. She has her mission, this girl for no one is ever sad in her pres enoe, and the memory of her when she is gone is like the smell of spiced carna- tions She is pure and wholesome and natural She snuggles to the heart of her original mother and sisters the flow CTS and brothers the big trees, and un- derstands that the fish and the birds are good fellows to chum with.
 .'There is no suggestion of ballot box or other vulgar things in her mind. Pret- ty organdies are nicer than bl0omers, she will tell you. and it doesn't make much difference about reforms and prin- ciples and income taxes She knows that she will have as much soda water as she can ingurgitate, income tax or no, and that she is much cooler and pleas anter and less intricate to the summer young man-for there is such being in her sweet ignorance.
 Summer girl of 1895, give you greet ing!'
