She is. in many cases, obliged to earn
her own living, sometimes in vocations
which have been. until comparatively re-

province of the male sex. Her out-oi-

and sturdy health. help her immensely
in these pursuits. II she Is wealthy, and

roaring ocean the summer girl will this
year be a sun-tanned woman with wind

She will be found as charming as in her
frilled and furbelowed days. but she will
be SO in a way very different from then.
In her such men as may wander to
the resorts will find a creature as capu-
waiting as of yore. but no longer a creature
hanging upon his coming. He will find her
creature who regards him, not the

once she did regard him. but as one of
