The Most Popular One Is Sure Our Air
Here Ruins the Complexion, but All
OF Them Find Joy AZ Coney ISL
andIA Slghtseer's sample schedule.
Miss Winnie Beer. the popularest girl
in kelly's Cross, Prince Edward Island,
with 2,5oo. 900 votes to back up that eta:
ment, was positive last night that she
wouldn't care to spend all Of her young
life in New York The air OF this town,
said Miss Winnie Beer. is simply ruinous
to girls complexion.
Il never used powder in my life.' scolded
Miss Beer, dabbing at small collection
OF freckles east by south Of her starboard
dimple, but look at me now. I've heard
that New York girls have to paint and
powder and l believe it. Oh. yes. I've
seen the tall buildings and I've got a
crick in my neck from staring at that
sewing machine tower. and Coney Island s
the greatest fun ever and we haven't any
Chinatowns in Prince Edward Island, but
would rather stay home and watch the
oats grow than lose my complexion.
Outside OF that Miss Winnie Beer and
the other girls from Prince Edward who
have been seeing New York at the heels
of Fred i. Sewsom OF the Chariottetown
Gudrdidn have had a scrumptious time.
MIR. Newsom is circulation manager OF
the Guardian and he has been circulat ting
faster since he started out to show New
York to the girls then he ever did in his
life. Besides Winnie Beer there are in
the party Jennie Walsh Muriel Morson.
Winifred Beer mot related to Winnie),
Mable Howath. Alva Gillespie. Emma
Mcmillan and Linda Smith. They beat
all existing popularity records in Prince
Edward Island when the Guardian offered
a trip to New York. From Sea Cow Island
to Cape Bear there wasn't another girl
on the island who came within thousands
Of votes OF them.
Most Of the girls are from the interior
OF the island and had never been out OF
il before. Linda Smith used to get an
illustrated paper at her home in Plus V.
once in a while. and sometimes New
Workers. visitd O'Leary where Winifred
Beer lives, and two or three girls from
Charlottetown and Georgetown owned
poke bonnet hats that the native milliners
imported from Manhattan, but that was a, as
near as any OF them ever got to the real
thing They were fairly bubbling with
curiosity and Fred Newsom set out to
crafty it systematically. He had II all
planned beforehand. leaving nothing to
a accident or the imagination.
When they met in the lobby OF the IL otel
Victoria yesterday morning. the circulator
called them around him and read the days
itinerary:

Back at midnight and to bed.
Which made a pretty strenuous and
lively day. but the girls were clipper as
you please when they returned to the
victoria. ClrCulator NewSom was drag
ging his heels bit, but he felt better after
4 lemonade made extra strong.
Linda Smith wanted to go on record
with the statement that Coney beat all
the rest Of Now York all to pieces. Emma
Mcmillan said that the most distinctive
thing about our city was the mountainous
downtown. Winifred Beer who
draws. was ecstatic about the Metronoli-
tan Museum OF Art. Winnie Beer said
all these things were we'll enough but
New York was fatal to blooming cheeks.
All Of the girls were broke or very nearly
80. They had spent their pocket money
shopping on Thursday. ciaftily buying
and fxings for dresses and
frames ard trimmings for hats rather
han the finished articles. They will start
Tor Boston at oclock this afternoon on
the steamship Harvard. After visiting
Boston, Portland and st. John. New
Brunswick. they will get home next
