submit TO the infliction or seem fright
fully rude, and say something mean that
would wound.
An attractive, well-bred woman often
finds herself most unpleasantly hedged
about by these gushing freaks. and often
undoubtedly 1t is all most kindly meant
in every sense OF the word. IT is the
outgrowth of overdone good intentions
or an overweening pride that such
woman takes in being able to introduce
another who happens to be her pet ad-
miration, or who by some attribute of
talent or social standing is above or be-
yond the ordinary.
A woman of generous Impulses both OF
word or deed. will always speak well OF
another. No matter how black the rec
ord may be against her, she can always
find something kind to say in her de-
fense. but this species of kindness Is
very different from the extravagant gush
that comes as cold shower when the
subject herself is present ard among
strangers. There is nothing more en-
tarrassing to a sensible woman than to
be forced to listen to rhapsodies CEN
iralized on herself
The gushing woman thinks she is be-
ing awfully sweet, as no doubt she means
to be, but we all know that there is
nothing more nauseating than an over
dose of sweets. and when these are ac-
centuated by this horror r-breeding gush,
1t is enough 10 make a real lady want
to say some real naughty bad words.

Hamlin, Mich. There had been a fear
full storm on the lake, in the winter of
1878. and the steamer City Of Toledo
was driven ashore. 1t was showing
hard, and tho ship was soon trans
formed into an iceberg by waves break
ing over it. Communication with the
shore was established by a rope, and
the girl, assisted by number of men,
succeeded in rescuing the crew Of eigh
teen men. The medal sent to her was of
silver, because she had not actually
risked her life; but she declined to ac
cept 1t, saying that,if her performance
did not merit a gold medal, she did not
want any.
One little girl who received medal
was Marie D. Parsons. She was only
ten years old, and lived on the shore OF
Long Island, at a place called Fire
place Village. She was watching man
hoist a sail on board Of boat some dis
tance from shore, when suddenly the
boom flew over and knocked overheard a
small child of seven. The man jumped
in after the child. and the boat, drifting
away, left them struggling in the water.

To many people who smoke their pipes

handled with the tenderest care, but
seldom is 1t that one has history at

In the meantime, the summer girl
whose inclinations turn not to the water,
to the links. or to long automobile rides
into the country, will fad a diversion
in the ever popular game OF tennis.
After all is said and done there Ii
really no prettier or more excel
lent sport than this one with racquet
and balls.
For women tennis is a particularly
good game 1t imparts gracefulness and
is not so vigorous as to be fatiguins.
The game is recommended 10 the young
woman who would acquire ease and sup
pleness, and by devoting her summer to
this pleasant pastime she will find that
at the end of the season she has accom-
pllshed more in this direction than IL shs

Responsible for Short-Sleeve Fad.
As to the correct tennis costume, 50.
ciety has for some time shown pre-
dllection for pure white and rather elab-
crate effects. No other game admits Of
so much dressing as this one played on
closely cropped lawn or smooth hard
dirt. Last year at Newport many Young
women played the game in thin and
daintily trimmed summer frocks. and
certainly their appearance warranted
continuance OF the fcshion.
Tennis is responsible for the short
sleeve fad which has become so popu-
lar, and the idea Of leaving the arm
bare from elbow down proved such q
becoming one-where this feature is
prettily rounded-that the fad found
favor beyond the boundaries Of the ten
mis- courts. Not content with the quaint
elbow length the summer girl this year
has already been seen wearing her
| blouse sleeves cut of midway between
shoulder and elbow. This seems 70 20
tcarrying the fad just a bit too far. how
ever, and in the end summer froclis will
show a decided lengthenins of sleeve.
| A white season this is to be, espe-
cially with regard TO the costumes men,
toned. while for formal wear ccIors will
prevail This may seem rather odd
arrangement, but it is certainly a chic
one. and the summer girl follows il
with entire satisfaction. well aware that
