For she's q jolly good fellow.
That no one can deny"

That no one can deny"
It's all right being Jolly good fellow,
but it must be remembered that there are
good fellows and good fellows-that no
one can deny. either.
The most trying girl that ever came
over the pike is the one who aBhors
everything and anything nautical, but
who considers It one of the duties Of her
life 70 successfully wet-blanket every out
ing that she is invited to by being beast
ly III at the first swell and demanding the
dancing attendance Of every ..ore5 on
board.
You can't throw her overheard and you
can't with any semblance of decency
neglect her. So altogether there is
just one remedy for her. Take precious
good care 70 run where II is the toughest
and II luck is coming your way IT will be
but a matter OF a few minutes until she
doesn't care whether she lives or dies.
Her only wish on earth IS to be let severe
ly alone Then just TO the contrary she
will probably bob up serenely like daisy
IN May. For sailing is a queer PROPOSE
ton, you know, and you can't sometimes
always tell.
She might be like the chap whose
friends were trying 10 lose him. With
baskets filed with lunch and hampers
laden with good things TO wet his throt-
tie. he sailed merrily away on what was
always certain 20 be a disagreeable trip.
But alas and slacki Who originated the
saying about the bad penny always
turning up, He evidently knew
whereof he spoke. When the voyagers
reached home port not one Of them could
stand or even hold their head up except
ing the bad penny. His day had been one
Of Unalloyed pleasure. Every one had re-
fused 70 even so much as glance toward
the hampers-hence his rations had been
doubled, nay trebled. and for once in his
life he had been distinctly it.
The love Of a girl is the blowsy, Jolly
fellow who goes for the sheer delight Of
sailing against the wind" as Peter the
Great put it. It takes her two and a half
minutes by the clock TO pack a suit case,
her people are informed of her where
sbouts on the way down the stairs and
her hat and coat are put on as she runs
uladly for a car Conventionality means
little or nothing to her when a yawl and
the sea beckon her on and for the time
being she utterly forgets that she is a
staid, dignihed young lady and acts the
part Of a tonboy to a nicely
She is the girl who measures her friends
by the bushel, for no II after where she
Is or with whom she may c-ance to be
her ready sympathy and adaptability TO
please are always there: she is sensitive
10 the moods Of her companions and quick
70 see whether she is amusing or boring
them.
Whenever fun is on the tspis she is
the first guest invariably named, for she
IA ever ready and willing. There is none
Of this everlasting disagreeab bic backing
and filling about her, and it must be con-
fessed that the frOlicsOme, merry girl who
is blessed with the charm of agreeable
language is appreciated by all. Nothing
SO quickly opens hospitable doors.
There is just one other girl who rides
the billows and she is the one who dotes
on all things Bohemian and who fancies
THAI yachting and all that goes with ii
is a mild way Of being devilish.
She is the one who leaves her home
IN a white duck suit. so that all may see
and know Of her doings. She has an
fdea that yachting is essentially the rich
mans sport and she feels her Importance
and insists that others shall feel IT, too.
In q high, strident voice she habbles
and bubbles until all within a block of
her escape to a quiet spot and are in
clined TO fall upon their knees and give
thanks.
Fancy such a girl as a steady diet for
several daysi Nowhere on earth is II so
essential TO have a well modulated voice
ss when confined IN close quarters. The
''ear piercing fife" would drive a man to
the shrouds. while soft musical voice
would hold him captive.
There is no sport that is as simple and
as good a means of gain e complete rest
from business cares as tossing about on
the water for few days. or a few weeks,
