SUMMER GIRLS
FLIRT AND MARRY
Summer is loves own season,
The bell in the heart rings clear;
There's dancing, and moonlight flirt-
ing
And love-words when no one is
near
Even though the whole world is
turned topsy-turvey in the rush OF
narrowing events that are transpiring,
nothing can change the on-com1ng and
influence of summer. Girls will be as
alluring as of yore-and the hearts OF
men as susceptible. Certain events
change the course of peoples lives.
Men who have never taken a vacation
before, have decided, that, for their
tired-out nerves and bodies. a two
weeks rest, amidst different surround
ings, is the best tonic they can take.
Thus, it would seem that some men
take the step voluntarily. Others are
forced to take a fortnight on by an
employer who seeks to cut down ex-
penses. Business interests take others
to certain places-to which they would
not otherwise have gone. Destiny
rules them all, else, why should the
man who longs for the sea, be per-
suaded by a number Of his comrades
to go to an inn in the heart Of the
Maine woods instead; and the man
who detests fashionable summer re-
sorts, who has made arrangements to
go on a fishing trip on a boat where
the feet of fashionable women had
never trod, be obliged to cancel the

therefore unable to return to business
to relieve him. but needed him to con-
suit on matters of utmost Importance
to both?
Destiny is not to be trihed with in
his case, and SO on down the long list
Of men. Its compelling influence,
greater than their own wills, sends
them hither and thither. Wherever
men and women meet there are al
ways hearts that will answer to an
other hearts call. It begins by find
ing a little spark of interest, and ad-
nairation has been lighted. The girl
tells her friends, with a laugh, that
she has just met a fine young man
who will be a capital companion to
dance with and f1irt with. The young
man congratulates himself on meeting
such a fine young woman in such an
unexpected place as an old inn, buried
in the heart Of the Maine woods. He
makes up his mind that a little f1irta-
ton would make his sojourn bit
livelier. Playing at love-mal1ing is a
dangerous game. A glance. OF the eye,
a stroll lin some lovers lane, clasp
Of the hand, with only the silver moon
and the twinkling stars looking on-a
word which springs to the lips in a

back, and love claims two more hearts
and the wedding day is set.

resort is attracted to the young wo-
