Where the rock * are trray and the shore Is
stoop ,
And the waton liolowiook dark and deep ,
vVhero the ragged jnno , In Its lonely pride ,
Leans gloomily over the murky tldo ;
Whot-o iho roods and rushoi are long and
lank ,
And the weeds prow thick on the winding
bank ;
% Vhoro the shadow Is heavy the whole day
through ,
Tbero Hoi In its moorinps the old canoo.
i useless paddlot are Idly dropped ,
Like n soa-ulrd'a wing * that the storm lias
lopped ,
And crossed on the railing , ono o'er ono ,
Like the folded hamU when the work U done ,
While hnilly back nnd fortn hotweon
The spltlor stretches his silvery screen.
And the solemn owl with the dull "too-whoo , "
Bottles down on the side of the old canoo.
The currcntloss waters nro dond and still ,
But the twilight wind plays with the boat at
will ,
And lazily in and out again
It floats the length of the maty chain ,
Like the weary march of the hands of tlmo ,
That meet and part nt the noontldo rhlmo ,
And the shore Is kissed at each turning nnow ,
By the dripping bougti of the aid canoo.
Oh many n time witli coaselnss hand ,
Imvo pushed it away from the pebbly
strnml ,
And paddled it down where the stream run
quick ,
"Where the whirls are wild and the eddlo-J are
thick ,
And laughed as I loaned o'er rocking side ,
And looked below In the broken tide
To see th'it thn fares nnrt boats were two ,
That were mirrored back from the old canoo.
But now , as lloan o'er the crumbling side ,
And look below In the sluggish tide ,
The fnco that I see there is graver crown ,
And the laugh that I hoar is n sober tone ,
And the hands that lent to the light skiff
wings
Have grown familiar with sterner things ;
But I love to thlnK of the hours that sped
As I rocked where tlio whirls their whlto
spray shod.
Ere the blossom waved or the green grass
grow
O'er the uiouldoring stern of the old canoe.
Is the Summer Girl over e.irnost ? has been
n question which the loading newspaper
writers have been Irving to solve over slnco
Juno brought that being into existence.
In our pinion she is very much in earnest.
Jt is ro.illy surprising that there should bo
nny doubt ubout it. It is n mlstako to as-
Bumo that the Summer Girl is always frivo
lous , She may possess all the elements of
the making'of a noble womanhood , nnd tlio
freedom nnd energy and experience of tbo
out-ofdoor summer life oflon fit her for it
) t rather than detract.
All over the country near and far , there
Bro girls , who , after tlu-lr summer outing ,
como back butter and liner typos of woman
hood in every way. So we should not be too
quick in passing Judgment upon these pro
ducts of the summer davi. for they are like
the season , full of warmth , brightness and
sunsbino aud our effort should bo
In the direction of perpotualing
their existence rgtiior than place hindrances
in the way of thi > lr proper' development.
Tlio Suminor Girl may bo a coquette , yea ,
Bho may be oven a flirt , "but the shadows fall
nthwart her llfo all too soon aud the jov in
her face nnd the light in her mild blno eye
molt away In the look of care and the reflec
tion ot 11 mission to bo performed.
It is a trite saying that few of us have the
gift or acquire the art of gracefully growing
old. Heedless and superficial , or silly and
vain parsons look upon advancing years as an
nfllictivo and vengeful dispensation of Provi
dence : but the true philosopher nna Christian
takes ' 'fortune's buffets and rewards" with
equal thanks and grown in amiability and
grace wltli each succcding year. Now , to
mil at the wbathor or make pitiful attempts
to conceal the footprints of time Is to involve
one's self in-certain misery , lo say naught of
turn til K away one's friends in mild disgust.
j.The ungraceful way to iccoivlng time's nd-
llinces is persistently to refuse to ac-
-vjeiigo his presence.
ifi'.ero Is a gray hair , and I am only 25.
i'ull it out qulckl" Out it comes and seven
more .spring up.
"A lart'Q hat or a turban always did become -
como me , and I'm sure I'm not too old to
wear them now. " 1'erhaps not , But all the
Baino n modest llttlo bonnet , with strings tied
under your chin , Is vastly moro In your way
now.
" 1 shall got this or that particular shade of
red , or pink , or blue , for It was always so be
I * * coming to mo. " Yes , in the long ago , but
not In the now , dear heart. If you will only
Wipe the dust of vanity oft of your mirror
nnd take a good look at yourself In a strong
light , you will porcelvo tunt thu frcsbncss of
youth no longer abides with you. Therefore
you must "gather enfrta's glory aud bloom
within , " since externals have lost their po
tency. Look around on your shopping ex
peditions for shades that suit your forty-
year-old complexion.
Mr. Hamilton Aide , discoursing very agree-
nbly of l'Tho Social Aspects of American
Lifo" in the Nineteenth Century for .luiio ,
Las tr.ls to say of American hospitality :
"American hospitality is proverbial , and
Justly so. It is conceived in the true old
English spirit , which has died awav. shame
faced , amid our own conventionalities.Vo
nr > , for tbo most part , afraid to ask the
friiMtd wo moot In the street to share our
simple dinner. If wo cannot kill the fatted
call wo dart ) not otTer him cold mutton. And
co it comes about that many a pleasant evening -
ning , sucn us our forefathers would have enjoyed -
joyed 'acrois the walnuts and the wine , " Is
uilsbid. I lore it Is not so. I shall always re
call with pluasuro a visit I paid to au almost
Btrangoronu Sunday afternoon , whoso talk
beguiled mo Into remaining much longer than
t had Intended. As I roio to go ho said : "Wo
have au early dinner on Sunday ; but wo are
colnu to supper prudently. Will YOU not
. . .itay' "
" " " * fcl did stay ; nnd the supper consisted of Bos
ton beans , broad , culto and preserves. A plate
of cold beef was brought In for mo ; and that
waall. . No excuses worn made for the
mo.inorncsH of the fnro , and tn mo at least no
npolouy was needed. It was rightly assumed
that what was good enough for the family I
should bo satlsllod with. This in my eyes is
the most perfect instance of true hospitality
uinl good breeding I ever met. "

The Drown Gnrilon Party.
The garden party which Air. nnd Airs. J. J.
Brown gave last Saturday evening for Aliss
Gait , who is the guest of their daughter ,
Aliss Clara Brown , was ono of the very
charmlugovonts of a rather quiet summer
season. The ovenftig was perfect , a beauti
ful ending to n rather disagreeable day , and
the moon snono almost as brilliantly as it
does at harvest time when the crops are
gathered In. The stars , too , lent their light
to the scouo , which was picturesque to a do-
greo.
Chinese lanterns ornamented the stately
trees which assist In making the lawn
around the Brown mansion , oi.o of the hand
somest In the wnst. Hammocks swayed
gently in the evening breeze or else held the
form of some fair charmer , while over her
bent ! member of the masculine gender. Iho
fountain plashed indulgently , and In the
soft moonlight the falling watars , resembled
for all the world tiny stars and recalled the
fountain and the spectacular effects of
"Suporbn.1' The Summer Girls in their filmy
gowns , furbelowed and flounced , with gay
ribbons to lend color to the sccno , contrast
ing with the varied coitumes which the mon
assumed made a never-to-be-forgotten pic
ture. So graceful was it that the flash light
photograph made of the lawn and the perso-
nncos present will bo treasured as souvenirs
of u rare Juno night.
An orchestra stationed under the trees dis
coursed sweet music throughout the evening ,
the party lasting from 7 to 10 although
some of tbo young people seemed oblivious to
the hour nanicdiin the Invitations and rn-
maliipdoverso much longer. Refreshment1 *
were served under n tent which stood well
up in the grounds , while In still another

of the guests , for It was a famous brow.

It was after their return from a riding
party. Oao of the gentlemen had separated
himself from the rest ot the company and
pazod vacantly into the wide , wldo world.
A lull fell on the fair equestriennes nnd their
male ct-corts. Talk for a moment was at a
standstill. It will happen that way , you
know , sometimes , even in 11 crowd of gay
.spirits. Then just as suddenly as the silonro
had fallen upon the heads of the crowd It
was broken by the solitary figure who had
elected to sit apart from the rest. With a
sublime tenderness in his voice , with the
light in his eye "that is not on land or sea , "
ho said. "And she was not n bit sick on the
second day out. " Yet could you blame him ?
For "sho" has just gene over the ocean for n
summer's outing , and the interest shown is
pardonable , surely. For mal do mar Is
awful , oven If the sea was as tender ns a
woman , and not in the least bit rude , as ho
sometime * is.

Dust cloaks nnd waterproofs are now ono

Shot silks aud wools are tbo favorite fabrics
for thorn.
There nro pretty little tulle bonnets trim

The smoking jacket for women is the latest

The glove claims a certain amount of atten

Two little bridesmaids were dressed In
rich canary-color surah silk frocks with
broad sashes , whlto lace hats and yellow
ribbon bows. They also were bronze stock
ings and shoes and gold Cinderella slipper
brooches , with blue enameled lover's knots.
Brocades were never so trul- gorgeous ns
thi * year. A lovely ono Is pnlost blue , with a
design in metal gold on a palo ground , which
ha ? all the effect of being shot with gold , by
reason of the gold threads passing behind the
satin. The snmo design , a largo pine with
foliage , is made on a ground of urcam.
All sorts of pretty fancies are Introduced
In the fashioning of light bodices and waists
for the vacation season. The Soanisb ,
Swiss , and peasant waists with pretty rib
bon accessories nro now almost indispensable
to n well-rogulatod toilet for a young lady.
bomo bridesmaids' frocks were of cream
serge maid with thrco-quartor coats edged
with gold , nnd capes of salmon-pink velvet ,
the front of the bodices being draped with
chiffon ; and their hats , of cream openwork
straw , were trimmed with pink carnations ;
bouquets of pink carnations , tied with long
ribbons.
A blue nnd whlto striped dolalne was very
simple and cool-lookinir. Its skin was en
tirely plain , except for a few plaits at ono
side. The bodice had n triple row of jut
carried about at the waist , and was worn
with a big lint hat of black crinoline , trim
med with corn flowers and white ribbons.
Fan-collecting Is becoming moro and moro

Seligman has many beautiful fans. Airs.
Wliitolaw Hold has an exquisite ono made of
whltn sillr , embroidered in colors and orna
mented with small pearls.
A natch of black court plaster on the face
is likely to bo a summer whim. It is coquetry
confessed , but then coquetry is n woman's
safest weapon , surest protection , und , to
many minds , her chtcfcst charm , The patch
was invented by some queen envious of the
mole on n peasant girl's cl.cek. It attracts
the eye to a charm it might not noto.
The severe style of dress , which has been
so highly favored lor so many seasons , ban-
lining wholly all frills and fripperies ,
llouncns nnd furbelows front the costume ,
and ruthlessly forbidding anything like lace
upon the corsage , ha- , now , as might have
been expected , undergone complete reaction ,
and wo are deluged , as it were , with leagues
of lace of every quality nnd design. Of course
Iho fashion is carried to nn absurd nnd otten
ridiculous length.
There is nothing that equals fresh butter
milk for removing tan , freckles , sunburn or
moth spots' , says the Ladies' ' Homo Journal.
It has the great advantage that it does not in
jure the skin , but renders it soft , like a little
child's. Tuko a soft cloth or sponge and
bathe the face , nock and arms thoroughly
with buttermilk ; before retiring for the night ;
then wlpo off the drops lightly. In the morn
ing wash it thoroughly and wipe dry with a
crash towel.
A Contribution , from Texas.
