some day, as a result of her wicledness

thrown into an ASH barrel, for her con-

Then there are excursions. and when
summer girl goes on one she wants
everything. She wants popcorn and her
picture taken; she wants fortune tod
ana TO see the fireworks; she wants 10 go
IN bathing, and then she is mad because
her hair is taken out of crimp and from
the very minute she leaves the city until
she gets back she wants to eat. From
marshmalloWs to sardines and from beer
10 champagne, all is grist that comes TO
that mill. Personally 1 attribute it 10 the
1act that she wears a shirt and lets her
stays out until she is, as the darkies say.
'htten to busten." She would like 10
dance, but she doesn't think really nice
people do it on an excursion boat, and
SO after having made the unfortunate
man spend all his money to give her a
good time the ungrateful little mink sulzs
all the way home and is as nasty as only
that kind of a girl can be because she had
Fifty.
Now, you know how different that fell
low had thought it would be-oh, so diff
lerent! He had hoped that coming home
ne could sit up close TO her and do the
Claude and Pauline act wondering which
star would be their future home, while he
would tell her about his ambitions and
what he trusted the future would bring
to him in the shape of a nice little wife
But she, having had entirely too good a
time, treats him as if it We're his fault
that the Nanderbilts were not there 10 add
dignity to the occasion and to show the
rest of the people on board what society
really was, and yet so debased is that
young man. so intensely devoted to her

90 DelleVe that the American man is at
once the most i'll treated and sweetest
tempered in the world. OF course we are
all frettul once in a while, and usually
summer time brings out all the fretful-
ness of a womans disposition, just as it
appears by its sunshine to make the kind
ness of man come to the surface as the
flowers star the grass all over the coun-
try.
Sometimes 1 wonder what we are fretful
about. 1t is usually because we need a
change. Sometimes we are fretful because
our IiVers are wrong; then we want a
change of doctors. Sometimes we are fret
1ul because there are wrinkles in the
backs of our frocks; then we need a
change of dressmakers. Sometimes we are
fretful simply because we are law: then
Tor change we want to carry a bod about
a half day. Sometimes we are fretful
change of companion-we need a man to
condole with us. Sometimes we are fret
full because the weather doesn't come up
20 our expectations; then we want to read
about how hot it is down in Florida among
the soldier boys and how cold it is in the
klondike among the gold seekers. Some
times we are fretfui because somebody
else is; then we want a change in our own
opinion of ourselves-we want to stand
in front of the looking glass, make a bow
10 the opposite woman and can the re-
Election fool. Sometimes we are fretfuI-
oh, don't know exactly why we are fret
full! We wish we had never been born, OF
that, having been born, we had been the
happy possessor OF strawberry marks that
would proclaim us as princesses, or that
when we were born We had been changed
at birth, or that, being particularly fret
full, We wonder whether either God or man
cares for US.
It's a nasty sort of a mood 1t comes
to you, and 1t comes to me Sometimes
it's atmospheric, some times it's microbes,
but 1 rather think it as original sin We
want to pray for somebody to care enough
for us to shame us out of it. Personally
| am willing to hope that the next time
I get fretful some kind hearted editor who
has at once the courage and a railroad
pass will come to New York and Of he can
find mel give a mental and physical
thrashing to Bah.
