Condolences common to the summer girl
and her male counterpart were exchanged
at lively rate, and all went well, until,
by some unlucky fate, the two "hldeous
Stanley girls and their cycle companions
CHANGED to stroll along that balcony and
fairly stumbled upon theinterestiEg quartet
Such a complication as resulted, for Sue
was just in the thick OF summer, or other
wise, engagement with Jack, while the
elong ated youth of the girl wanted"
button had entered into a similar contract
with the prettiest of the Stanley gir:s.
The interesting quartet was speedily broken
ND and wrath and tears were the accom-
panimentto the tune of lust Tell Them that
You Saw Me- which a small boy was
vigorously whistling in the street below.
The girls walked home and bythernselves,
too. and now the octet don't speak as they
pass by.
However. the experiences of the summer
girl are as varied and variable as Washing
ton weather, but rarely does She get into
ANY difficulties Smooth sailing is the

not infrequently white roses and wedding

Could the grand old trees, whose droop-
ing branches afford shade and seclusion to
one of the benches in Franklin Park tell
story of their observations or mankind,
many an Interesting romance would doubt
less be disclosed. a particular bench is
marked and is always in demand by those
who wish to discuss the old, old story and
its variations
One evening, not many moons ago,
young girl occupied it all alone, until the
twilight deepcned into darkness, and She,
like Mariana of the IEoated grange, began
to say, He cometh not am aweary-
But he did come, however, and though
he pleaded business and dwclt upon the
weather, shc quickly reminded MN oi MS
remisSness by:
Next time meet you. y"iH KNOW IL
But dear. could not help il You see
