off with him In his tandem. She approves
OF his horses, is quickly helped into the
TRAP and as they are off two envious wo-
men wonder IN solemn tone, What will
that girl do next?"
Charley as he drives her tries to tell
ner how much he loves her, but my lady
mas studied the book of coquetry AMI ad
Vlses MIN to say nothing while she adds:
CONTINUE to stay me with mint until l
am SICK unto death with love" The din
ner is one given at the casino to the belle
herself. She wears a black tulle gown
cut low in the neck and having no sleeves,
while on her blond hair is a huge black
tuIle nat caught up at one side like that
worn by the Duchess of DeVonshire. AT
dinner some of the women are inclined
TO be little frisky, but one little girl
puts this sort of thing down with a very
decided trown that means, IF yon keep
this up, 60" Then riddle is asked.
1t is in regard to lady who wears her
gowns very decollete and whose bones
are built for evidence, since they are
very plainly seen. Some inquiries,
why is Miss Montague like an I'M
touched negatlve?" and the answer comes
from one of the men, Because there as
too much exposure and not enough devel-
opment,' and in the summer time this is
regarded Is wit.
After dinner there is dance. Then
Jack takes the girl from the south down
among the rocks to pick up the moon
stones 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 sauciy that it does to
gamblers, and he evidently answers, Yes,
for he puts his arm around her and tells
her he is going 10 try his chances for the
last time, and that sinister old man in
a mo- hot do M q r
him, '"Ah, ha, my master, the moon
stone has brought you full hand!' But
it seems to me that IL he saw her face
well, he would realize that it was a royal
flush and Master Jack could congratulate
himself on gaining something more prec-
ious than a mere summer girl
Then they so back and there is long
talk on the veranda, and the
precious moonstone is to be set
in diamonds to make ring
for somebody, and Jack kisses some
body good night, and a happy, healthy girl
goes and whispers 1T all 10 her mother
that is, nearly all, because there are al
ways some things better left unsaid. rhe
tule gown is off, the golden hair is brush
ed, and a wonderfully beribboned and en-
broidered night dress is put on, and the
little maid goes TO bed to dream of Jack
and the man in the moon and that there
was a mint julep that had moonstone
inside OF lump OF sugar IN &c ana thdt
Jack and the man in the moon were ar
ranging something about house that was
to be hers, way down South.
She is a pleasant girl, this girl at the
Pier, sometimes l think the best type of
American girl and feel that you and I,
my friend, can say, God bless herr for
while she is full of fun she is not fast
pretty as a picture and yet not overvain,
industrious as bee and bright as star
yes, she is the best type of American
girl. and YOU and can say again, God
bless her! for she is the mother of flu
ture heroes, and all that is sweet and good
must be cultivated in her SO that she may
be that "0est of ALL" good and loving
mother
A touch of wisdom in the home of
frivoity All, my friend. all is not friv-
City! Who can tell where the heartache
is? 1t is found oftener in a carriage
than walking, and oftener it is covered
by satins and jewels than by serge alone.
Life here, as everywhere, is contrast,
and that is why it is so interesting. If
all lives were the same, who would find
any joy in them? Not you not your
neighbor. and certainly not Bah.
