SOUND ADVICE FOR
 THE SUMMER GIRL.

 This Is really heart-to-heart talk with the summer girl. writes Kate Thyson Marr in the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 I am not going to preaoh-in fact hate women who think it their duty to be hammerlng advice Into young people. but there are so many mothers who have not sense enough to guide or to direct a girl. or to tell her many things that she ought to know.
 The seaside girl, or the mountain girl, or the summer girl of any locality should be equipped in keeping with her surround ings. If she cannot appear to the same advantage as those about her she lays up a store of unhappy heart burnings that rob her out of all pleasure. While she may not be able to afford the splen- dor of some others around her and may have less in every sense of the word yet if her wardrobe, though inexpensive is pretty and dainty and her personality attractive, she may rafcly enter the lists against her more favored sisters But though her wardrobe may be clrcum- scribed, yet 1t should be sufficiently well supplied to meet the reQuirepents of en. vironment
 A white summer gown has boundless possibilities for the limited purge, and few dollars judiciously disposed of can net marvellous results. If, however, one Is haunted by the nightmare of laundry bills, then other materials should be sub stituted. There is nothing so absolutely repulsive as soiled white clothing. It cannot always be helped, but 1t can be when one Is starting out
 Women sometimes have an idea that because they know that they will be dirty on the return they are excusable for.be- ginning the day In a rig that is simply waillng for soap. It Is a wretched mis- take. Start out clean and fresh, no mat ter If you return bedraggled to your neck.
 No man was ever fascinated by wo- man who acted as the decoration of a soiled shirtwaist, but he Is in danger when a pretty girl Is caught in a shower and looks forlorn and bedraggled, and half abashed, which unconsciously makes her appear at her best and while a man may ' laugh at her and sympathize yet his heart is touched by evident embar rassment she Is suffering, and he wants to pet her and comfort her.
 The summer resort Is where a woman should forget herself for the sake of oth- CTS. Women are so intensely vain! And nothing so flatters that vanity to reple- tion as a conquest of the most eligible man in sight. His first show of interest fills the feminine heert with divine in- fiation, and his every act Is watched and noted with l, nx-like attentiveness. If he has horses the sight of another woman sharing his drives fills her with anguish. If ne has a yacht she dreads the appear ance of others who may win him from her. In every stage she Is tortured, and very often this keen desire to monopolize proves her own undoing.
 The girl who simply accepts mans courtesies, who never comments on at tentions paid others, but regards it as a IT alter of indifference, and who leaves | him perfe ectly free, Is the girl who will wield the greatest influence over him. l The moment she essays to question his actions that moment she loses her grip cn him by becoming disagreeatle. Don't criticse people or their clothes on a hotsl piazza You may tread on the tender pet corns of somebody's sisters. c~ cousins, or sunts, whom you wish to cultivate. Don't make sarcastic com inents. They belittle the persons making them and arc sure to be repeated to their injury. And If you feel any Jealousy sUrging up in your heart mask 1t
