The Summer Girl.

The summer girl Is not new
creation, but each year she comes
to Us with new charm and ever
grows more adorable Through
many seasons she has been a source
of Joy and comfort, though never
without that tautalizing element
which caused the poet to sing:
ooh, woman in our hours of ease,
Uncertain. coy and hard 10 please. "
The summer girl, like the winter
girl, Is a creature OF variable moods,
but who Is there 50 ungallant that
would not strive to make her al
ways happy, while she seeks to
make Our lot in life more tolerable?
Whether it be In the hammock un
der the woodland shade by the sea
waves or where the trout leaps In
the running brook, in the motor
carriage which raises the dust of the
country highways or behind the
pranclng steed, in the moonlight
walk by the lake or on the NOUN
tain climb, on tennis court or where
the grinning caddv watches with
amusement her effort On the golf
links-wherever her fancy takes
her, man watches her with admira
ton and seeks her company to In.
crease his joys and lessen his sor-
rows. She Is mans affinity and as
the pole ever draws the needle
point so her soul will ever seek
consort with his.
