Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-01

the prankS ne plays IN the early sum-
mer months. when the summer girl
makes her first entrance.
The summer girl is coming encore
ct encore this year. and each succeed
ing encore is more bewildering than the
last. In the daintiest of white linen
gowns, with hat. gloves shoes and
everything else to match. she goes forth
to conquer and ] fear that even in
this day science has not discovered any
heart barricade strong enough to with
stand her.
Everywhere one turns the summer
girl is queen. The title is no longer an
empty phrase with a pretty sound; the
summer girl Is a very real person. One
sees her on the street, in the skating
rink, at the theater, at the beaches, in
the canyons and everywhere.
Already the summer time romances
are beginning to blossom-just think of
it, and the summer is hardly begun.
L know a secret that l am just dying
to tell. and If you only realized how
much you would he interested you
would be just as anxious to hear as
am to disclose.
The girl-for of course there is a
GIRLS pretty, bewitchngly pretty,
with brown eyes and dark brown hair
with a lot of sunshine in 1t. She Is
daughter of one of the oldest California
families and has a host of friends. 1t
has not been so very long since her
sister became a bride. and every one
was so busy getting ready for that
affair that they never suspected what
was going on in the heart of the other
any more than they suspected the part
a certain young bachelor played in
the game of hearts.
The bachelor is tall and handsome.
He is connected with one of the local
banks and his name is-my, that was
q narrow escape. 1 almost told, and If
/ had Cupid would have placed me on
his black books forever. He objects
to having his secrets revealed until the
psychological moment. Just when that
moment is, there are not more than two
people in the world at the same time
who know.
There now. you never would guess
what 1 started in to tell you. have
gotten so far away that / fear I will
never get back on the right track
again.
1t was about the exodus of society
people which the summer months are
already beginning to witness, that l
started to talk. At first glance one
would cry stop, and ask If there are
any left.
There is a beach where the sand is
S1l1OOIn ana WHllC, MIlSlC luC waves
come ripping up the seashore, playing
tag with each other. The sand makes
the most comfortable pillow imaginable
and the noise of the waves lulls one
into a land where work has never
been heard of. I have been there many
times and so have you. Perhaps you
are going this summer.
There is a canyon nook where grasses
and moss carpet the earth with green

tiny streams come ripping over the
whitened rocks. 1t is an ideal place
to read, and, perchance to dream.
Some have already answered the call
of the waves or brookS-haVe thrown
work and care to the four winds of
heaven or some equally remote place,
and are enjoying life. Others expect
to leave next week and from that
time on there will be a continued round
of coming and going.
A few of the more ambitious have
gone, or are going farther abroad.
Some have planned delightful weeks of
travel among the strange scenes of
foreign climes.
