BORED YOUNG WOMEN
 AND STERN cHAPERoNE
The Story of How Willimantio and Waterbury Came Together at Pine Grove

watchful Pine Grove (Niantic) correspondent records these interesting operations this week:
 A pretty little comedy has been en- acted for the past few days under the pines that has caused cottagers to hide a few smiles, while the younger set indulged frankly In few hearty laughs. The principals in the comedy are cottage full of young women. a other cottage equally full. of jolly young men. Given such a cast, with a setting so romantic as Pine Grove the comedy was inevitable.
 It all happened this way: The young women were espied draped about their yeranda a few days ago in languid poses which spoke eloquently or an extreme state of boredom, or at least that is what occurred to the minds of the male actors when they first made their appearance upon the scene. The young men are "old timers" at the grove, and knowing the code of con- geniality for which this resort is fa- nous, immediately desired to chase away the vacant looks which they be- lieyed ennui, had placed upon the pret- ty faces of the girl vacationists. But at the outset their plans were thwart- ed by a. cold-eyed chaperone, who sat bolt upright among her charges, and IAiC oO9o AuOfCQ past lIic aIIIlO- sphere which seemed to surround the portion of the veranda upon which the chaperone reigned So ended the nrst scene of the comedy.
 The next was played under cover of the darkness that settled on the grove after Old Sol had majestically sunk behind the Mantle hills and the tall pines successfully shut out the star light. All was peaceful in the camp or the girls when one of the young women awoke from her dreams of home with a terrified shriek. She pointed wildly to the window and her frightened companions beheld a fash light glimmering just outside the sash where few snickers were heard in the darkness beyond. The lady-in- charge was called and she made a nasty disappearance into a neighbor- ing cottage to call forth two men whom she could trust to protect her and her charges. With the entrance of the rescuing party the Romeo-ing actors took their cue and made a graceful and effective exit up-stage. Curtain and intermission.
 The next act covered about 24 hours time, and included few chance meet ings between the actors. Not real meetings, understand but just few passing glanees. good natured and sympathetic On the ane hand, and on the other hand a variety of glances, including half frightentd ones, some consemptuous, others mutually sym pathetic and others, the young men swear helpless ones from eyes that watched the chaperone from the cor ners of said optics
 Finally the young men became des= perate and so ardent were they in their efforts to be properly presented to the young women in an attempt to make jolly vacation for them. and possibly to compare the relative mer- Its of W aterhuTy and Willimantic. that they oyerstepped themselves and be- came yeritable terror to the girls and ehaperone, who couldn't comprehend the neighborly plan upon which the grove bases its social success. A kind hearted woman resident tipped the boys off as to how they stood" and they immediately sought oue the chaperone, apologized, patched up their misunderstandlngs and it is ex- pected will live happily ever after.

 But it is rumored that two of the girls who were indisereet enough to actually dance twice about the Casino with the boys are to be banished from the circle of sanctity and are to be sent home in disgrace
