LIFE SAVED BY UNLIMITED
JULEPS,
| She is an adept on the subject of
| iuleps. Her mother will tell you how
| she was saved from death at the early
age of five months by Mammy's care
and unlimited mint juleps. At l o'clock
she launches with her mother and tells
her everything that has happened in the
morning. In the afternoon she rests
awhile, reads the latest novel; weeps
over the hero and then suddenly gets
up and is arrayed in a white flannel
tailor-made suit, puts on n big white
straw hat trimmed with white flowers
and white ribbon, while she wears per-
! fectly-fitting tan gloves and tan shoes
! Then she goes blackboard riding with
Jack. How cleverly the little maid has
learned to sit steady, and except for one
lurch, when she has Il conviction that her
corset lace is broken, the drive is smooth
and uneventful. Home she comes and
finds that another thoughtful admirer
has sent her julep and is waiting for
her to go off with him in his tandem.
helped into the trap and as they are
off two envious women wonder in a
solemn tone, What will that girl do
next?'
Charles as he drives her tries to tell
her how much he loves her, but my lady
has studied the book of coquetry and
advises him to say nothing, while she
adds. Continue to stay me with mint

The dinner is one given at the casino to
the belle herself. She wears a black
tule gown cut low in the neck, and hav-
ing no sleeves, while on her blonde hair
is huge black tulle hat caught up at one
side like that worn by the Duchess of
Devonshire. At dinner some of the
women are inclined to be Il little frisky,
but one little girl puts this sort of thing
down with very decided frown that
means, IF you keep this up, l 60"
Then riddle is asked. tits in regard to
lady who wears her gowns very de
collete and whose bones are built fol-
evidence, since they are very plainly
seen. Some one inquiries, why is Miss
Montague like an untouched negatiyeW
and the answer comes from one of the
men, Because there is too much expo
sure and not enough development" and
in the summer time this is regarded
as wit.
MOONSTONES AMONG THE ROCK.
After dinner there is a dance. Then
Jack takes the girl from the South
down among the rocks to pick up the
moonstones that sparkle on the sand
and which seem to freeze into hard
gems as they are held in her hand. Then
something is whispered to her about
the moonstone giving good luck, and my
lady whispers back somewhat saucily
that it does to gamblers, and he evl
IDENTIFY answers. Yes" for he puts his
arm around her and tells her he is going
to try his chance for the last time, and
that sinister old man in the moon says,
though they do not hear him, "Ah, ha.
my master, the moonst0ne has brought
| you full handr' But it seems to me
that if he saw her face-well, he would
realize that it was a royal flush and
| Master Jack could congratulate himself
on gaining something more precious than
mere summer girl.
Then they go back, and there is a long
| talk on the veranda, and the precious
moonstone is to be set iii diamonds to
make Il ring for somebody, and Jack
kisses somebody good night, and a hap
by, healthy girl goes and whispers it
all to her mother-that is, nearly all, be-
! cause there are always some things
better left unsaid. The tulle gown is
off, the golden hair is brushed, and
/ wonderfully beribboned and embroid-
cred nightdress is put on, and the little
maid goes to bed to dream
of Jack and the man in the
moon and that there was mint
| julep that had moOnstone inside of "a
| lump of sugar in it and tnat Jack and
the man in the moon were arranging
something about a house that was to
be hers, way down South.
BEAUTIFUL,BUT NOT OvER-VAIN
| She is a pleasant girl, this girl atethe
Pier, sometimes | think the best type of
American girl and feel that you and l,
nv friend, can say: God bless her." for
while she is full of fun she is not fast
pretty as a picture and yet not over
vain Industrious as Il bee, and bright
as a star-yes, she is the best type Of
| American girl. and you and / can say
again. ''God bless herr' for she is the
mother of future heroes, and all that is
sweet and good must be cultivated IN her
so that she may be that best OF all, a
good and loving mother.
A touch of wisdom in the home of fri.
yolity. All, my friend, all is not frivOl-
ityl Who can tell where the heartachc
is. 1t is found oftener in carriage than
walking, and oftener it is covered by
satins and jewels than by serge alone
Life here. as everywhere, Is n contrast
and that is why it is so interesting. II
all lives were the same, who would find
any enjoyment in them? Not you, not
your neighbor. and certainly not Bah.
