pretty much all night, the endless pro-

very fascinating with cushions and rib

There Is even one belle who varies the

A CHILD'S FIRST LESSON.
One of the first lessons that should be
Impressed on every child, whether he
live In the city or In the country. Is how
to see things out of doors. If he learns
to do this early In life he will not only
become a man of larger intelligence
and culture, but also a happier and
more successful one than he otherwise
would.
At the cost of a few cents the poorest
boy or girl may be transported to the
country and there see beauties which
might entrance an angel. Yet many

When the water sports wort- over and
the sun had considerately gone down
and some of the women had dispersed,
the smaller yachts ventured nearer the
shore with many a "ding, ding," "toot,

tenders waiting to take people aboard.
Then for an hour there was compara

for the dinner. The sun finally disap
peared over the waters, the smell of
appetizing dishes came floating to the
clubhouse veranda, lights began to ap

red shaded, began to gleam on the ve
randa tables and carriages rattled up
the gravel drive filled with guests. Din
ner parties for six or eight were the
rule, with occasipnally a twosome. The
women wore charming decollete gowns
of filmy pink, black and pale blue, wlt,h
occasionally a gown of creamy white;

all our faculties have been centered in

concern our Immediate Interests. To
learn to see things out of doors would

A SMART BATISTE FROCK.
A GENTLEWOMAN—
Never Indulges in ill natured gossip.
Never forgets the respect due to age.
Thinks of others before she thinks of
herself.
Does not measure her civility by peo
ple’s bank accounts.
Does not forget engagements, prom
ises or obligations of any kind.
Is never argumentative or contradic
tory In conversation.
Never makes fun of or ridicules the
idiosyncrasies of others.
Is always as agreeable to her social
inferiors as her equals and superiors.
Batiste la the smart muslin fabric of the season, nnd the mo
little frocks are being fashioned from this becoming material. Tl
shows a charming rose pink batiste with tucks disposed about the

the board walk to the Casino, where
they sit gossiping and greeting their
acquaintances, listening to the music
and making plans for the day. Usually
a luncheon Is planned at some hotel,
and afterward some one proposes a sail

AN EARLY WALK.
The girl who rises at 6 every morning
and, wet or fine, goes for an flour's, walk
before breakfast Is rewarded for her
self denial by gaining a healthy appe
tite and.a nice complexion.
The early morning air fs the freshest
and,purest of the day, and It lAith In
vigorates the body and stimulates the
brain. For the very thin girl this sim
ple prescription will be found most
beneficial, but it must be persevered In
regularly. A walk one day and staying
in bed till breakfast time the next will
do more harm than good.
A cup of milk and a biscuit Is all that
Is necessary before starting. A banana
or an orange eaten while out is excel
lent, and let the breakfast consist of
oatmeal, stewed fruit and eggs.
GOOD MANNERS AN INVESTMENT.
The Idea of good manners as an In
vestment, like the maxim that honesty
is the best paying policy, seems to em
body a crude form of commercial mo
rality, but "manners are the shadows
of virtues," and If people strive to be po
lite th« world will eventually become
polite. The test of an act is the motive,
and so it is with manners. The real
basis of good manners is the good
heart.
