Summer Reeorf Sorrow

6WAAhhAACN 4SN8WEN GOAAWWB
HTERILY, verify, the mysteries of
Vthe Summer Hotel are not
ALL in the chicken pie, neither
are its surprises all In the hash.
One week day is like unto an
other week day, full Of boredom,
but Saturday arriveth, bringing
the sheiks and the husbands from
the city.
Then do the maidens powder
their noses nightly, and the ma.
irons don their dding-rings and
looks of steel. Their eyes are full
Of lightning.
The new young man arriveth on
Wednesday. The damsels take
notice, but are coy and non-com'
initial.
His limousine arriveth the next
day. The damsels are thrilled
and he receiveth the Grand Rush.
The golf champion appeareth
clad in white knIckers and hero"
glyphic stockings. The Aurora Bo.
reals are not more dazzling. The
damsels whisper amongst them
selves, "Oh be joyful! Lead us
to iti''
But the hotel clerk dasheth
their hopes, saying, His wife is
here also"
And when next he approacheth,
he perceiveth not why the dam
sells are so distant.
The handsome youth with the
good shoulders and glossy hair
cometh. But beside him there is
a bobbed haired woman. The
damsels yawn sadly, "Alas, what
doth it profit us?"
The collegiate shefk arriveth,
and his ways are. fresher than
garden lettuce; his blazers brighter
than a vaudeville joke, and his
cline" newer than his ukelele. He
is harder to ignore than a. saxo''
phone.
The summer Midower cometh,
and his compliments are staler
than last years song and less
convincing than canned soup.
One man coineth and another go.
eth, but the ELIGIBLE thing de-
parteth always on Monday morn
ing. One bellhop goeth and an.
other cometh-and always after
the weekend tip. One waiter dis
appeareth and another taketh
his place, and to remember their
names causeth brain flag.
Sunburn shall pass away, and
freckles be removed with lemon
cream; but how shall the water
wit and the piazza bore be PRED
from their places with the blonde
beauty and the dimpled flapper?
Verify, verify, life at the sum-
mer hotel is all ennui and weari-
ness and the passing Of days, and
the shattering of hopes.
For a summer resort is place
where a damsel will resort to-
ANYTHING for a little distrac-
ton.
