Amagansett, August 20.-Sumner
girls OF the east are divided into two
elasses-those who fight for the smiles
Of Mckinley and those who want the
benign glances Of Sherman. The for
me at Lake ChamplAin and the latter
at Amagansett have led two opposing
legi0ns.
Since vacation begun until nOw,when
it is on the wane, there have been two
vacation parties" as pronounced as
any that were, year ago, harraSsing
the country with divergent views.
The summer girls have composed the
opposing forces, but that instead Of
lessening the opposition has made it
greater.
The Mckinley girls have been the
ones who want style and show and
plenty Of it The Presidents specta-
cular vacation on Lake Champaign with
colOrs flying, detectives on guard on
every porch, secretaries and type-writ-
ers running two and fro and the flags
Of the army, navy, marine and land
forces Haunting the breeZes, have at
tracted some Of the summer girls, While
other prefer the pain, every day Vaca-
ton taken by the Secretary of State.
Amagansett is a little place on Long
Island. To reach it you must take the
Long Island accommodation (Which IS
warranted 20 accommodate no One) and
ride anywhere from one to three hOurs.
Then you come to Amagansett. You
pass within hailing distance or the
ShinnecOCk Hills, where there is the
finest golfng in the world; and come
within whispering distance Of Sag Har-
Dor and Shelter Island, and then you
come TO Amagansett Here you ind
yourself upon the ocean again, and
here YOU find the opposing forces OF
summer girls - those who wOuldn
sDend the summer with Mckinley
for the world, but who like to get down
Oh Amagansett's beach when the tide
comes in and watch the Secretary OF
State enjoy himself in his plain way.
IL the summ0 man be a mOralist OF
n thinking man he wonders a great
deal when he sees the contrast between
the two men who are 50 closely con-
nected in business, Mckinley and Sher-
man. sherman has one utue room
with mating on the floor, a plain,
square bedstead, a very conspicuous
slop pail and a wooden chair. He Is
attended by only one servant, and this
Is a sort Of man Of al work, VINO man

The Secre tary wanted 20 have place

lsn't so very far from Washington 10
Long Island: and the Secretary wanted
to 20 somewhere, near enough TO al
low him 10 drop back 10 Washington,
Ind back again to a pleasure spot.
Such a place is Amagansett.
The unique method employed by the
Secretary TO keep track OF his CORE
spondence has created envy in the
mind of all who have heard about it,
and has driven the President wild with
admiration of his famous Secretary.
Hundreds Of letters came for Secretary
sherman the first day OF his arrival.
He began TO open them and glance over
them. Then he stopped working
and threw all the letters on the bed.
When the man Of all work, ErastuS
Iecck came in to straighten up the
broom he said: Mr.. Secretary, what
shall do with the letterS?'
Throw them away" said the Secre-
tary

said Rastus. Them you want you

But suppose I throw the wrong ones

Don't worry about that. III read
