THE BEST SUMMER RESORT.
(For the Girls.)

-
The mercury registers 100 in the
shade. We appreciate the words
of the psalmist, '.Oh, that had the
wings of a dove,v for most of u.s.
like Andree, would love to make
a flying" trip to the north pole.
We think how delightful it must
be up there; bleak. deep gray skies,
boundless fields of frozen snow, cold
ocean waves and rugged, stupendous
transparent glaciers; cleaning daz-
zingly white and pale green, in the
Attic waters.
Second thought suggests we can't go
TO the north pole. We think of the
Southern sea coast. of the breeze from
the gulf, the salt water bathing. We
look over all the catalogues, see pict-
ures of the summer girl-ip skiff, on
the tennis grounds, with her wheel,
flirting underneath the green wood
trees, and she always looks coot-that
is, the picture of her does. We real
ize though, this effect is only touch
of ideality given by the artist; it is the
one element of imagination, holiness,
untruthfulness which makes photogra-
ply pleasing.
The fact is the summer girl is not
cool. She is just burning up with the
| heat, and the more dainty, light
ruffles and fischus and ribbons she has
floating around her, the hotter she is.
There is no place cool this sort of
weather, no place in the South at least;
and therefore, the best summer resort
is home.
There are some several reasons for
this. The first is roominess. In a
little or big house. at home you have
the freedom of every nook and corner
You can dress comfortablely, you can
have occupation. Hard work is un-
bearable this season of the year. but
occupation enough to interest one
and keep one busy in an easy sort
of way is a boon. real blessing.
1t is dreadful plan to sit still all
day and think of the weather. Then
at home, one can read quietly and
without interruption. 1t is a pity
/ people don't realize what heat gener-
ator is gossip.
On a cold winters day it warns,
stimulates, excites person to get in a
crowd of first rate gossips. In August
it is dangerous. Reading soothes. and
is economical for the nerves.; not heavy
reading, but light literature. Haw-
thorne's Twice Told Tales. the Sake
Holmes stories. one of Howell's un-
emotional, common-sense, realistic
novels, the magazines, all have tran
QUILTING influence on one. They re-
quire no great concentration Of
thought, they demand no strict atten-
ton; but the characters, the scenes. the
Eold time bits of every day life history
glide into our lives gently with charm
of quiet, grace and beauty, none the
less real because it is not startling, OF
dramatic. The new thought currents,
sweep through our minds refreshingly'
like. here in the evenings, the fine
river breezes blow through the wind
ows of our homes.

II is reported to us that the negroes
living along the Wyly and Blue Ridge
fronts are catching fish out of the bar
row pits in large quantities, and are
eating them. The water in these pits
are only few feet in depth, and the
fish are caught by making small SENS
out of sacks or bagging. Fish caught
out of these stagnated pools are not
fit to eat, and the colored people are
liable to die with the cholera at any
moment. They should be stopped.
