EXHIBIT I.

YER travelling suit-shepherds s
plaid, made by high priced
tailor and finished with infinite
pains. She expects to do great damage
in me going out in the train. She stood
for goodness knows how many hours
having me fitted and for a while 1 was
afraid she wasn't going to take me
after all, for she vowed she wouldn't if
the skirt didn't hang better, and the
tailor's head man was brought in and
raved at, and there were even a few
tears on her part. 1 trembled for my
self, for you see had counted so upon
going to the country tn summer and
that railway journey was quite to my
taste But after while, when she had
knocked $40 off the price, she agreed
to take me, and / am destined for all
sorts of damage, as I.stated. She even
thinks it possible there might be some
good looking young fellow on the train
"a nobleman possibly travelling in dis
guise-who would be instantly epris of
my lines and who would never be hap
py until he made my acquaintance. The
little civilties of a railway journey
would lead to an acquaintance, and
naturally, for the romance to be COM
plete, he would be going to the same
resort, and-well, dear knows what
might not happen at the very outset
of the summer. The smart red toque
she has provided to go with me and
the gay little red leather wrist bag are
just too killing, and were all I needed
to make me simply irresistible. All, yes,
you others, you may think what you
please of yourselves as they fold you
up and lay you away in the trunk trays,
but am the winner of the outfit.
EXHIBIT II.
To hear that shepherds plaid go on
is to laugh! AS if any one would ever
consider a mere shepherds plaid for a
minute when there were hand en-
broidered linens in question! She prob
ably won't wear the plaid a single 9TH
er time this summer, and as if one ever
met ones fate on a railway journey!
One is much more likely to be mussed
and crushed and to get cinders in ones
pleats and to look sorry object in
stead of an enticing one. Now, 1 am
destined to win. The delicious cool
ness Of a spotless white linen, especial
ly hand embroidered in eyelet holes
over a fresh lingerie waist with white
shoes, white belt and ruff1y white
baby hat-that is something to talk
about when the thermometer is 80.
There are hot and tired young men up
from the dusty city on a two weeks
vacation, who, catching sight the first
thing in the morning of such vision,
would be simply carried away. and we
mean to carry them. For that reason
she has planned to put me on the very
first morning. She has a great belief
in first impressions, and out of her
whole collection I am the one she ex-
poets to work with greatest effect the
first morning on the beach. Shepherds
plaid, forsooth!
EXHIBIT III.
Her fondest hopes are banked on
me! She thinks that il pink organdie,
all ruffles and frills, with a peek-a-
boo yoke and cute elbow sleeves and
a long pink null sash aren't destined
to win. that there's no use in clothes,
and that one may as well run around
like the South Sea islanders. in a few
glass beads and nothing else. She has
a necklace of pink stones to go with
me and the most adorable hat in
creation. 1t is a picture affair all
lace and that sort of thing, dressed"
as the papers put 1t, with punches Of
sweet peas and yards and yards of
baby ribbon. 1t ought to be rather
decent looking, for she paid cool
nifty for 1t. But 1t just matched me
and she simply couldn't resist, so she
decided to economize on something else
--servants' fees and little unimport-
