Then the days are warm and mellow
Filtering through the hands of spring;

When the turtle doves are moaning
Down behind the fields' confines.
When old winter's moods and rages
Back to polar zones have fled,

Ixninge upon a grassy bed.
Hear among the leafy branches
Now and then a songbird call;
See In mimic avalanches
Storms of cherry blossoms fall;
Bobolink Is gayly pouring
Forth his little heart In song,
While the oriole Is soaring
As his notes In rapture throng.
When the south wlnd"wooes the woodbine
Till its soft, green Angers cling.
Then I bask in fragrant sunshine,
Boeing every living thing.
Watching fields of spring clover.
Waiting for their blossoms red.
While the wind comes softly over.

Dear?Look at above beading and
dronm n dream of Joy. I'm hero, and
when I saw that name tacked up over
the portals of our hotel I said, "Here's
where I rusticate just on the strength
of the name."
We are "up on a bluff?sand bluff.
I've been here three blessed, broiling
days and haven't found anything in
the place yet but saud and bluff. And
sea, lots of sen, so much sea that you
hope you'll never have to see so much
sea again in all your life. Also a bathhouse,
tintype tent, peanut pavilion
and bathing houses?little, hot, new
pine coffins stood up on end. Also
girls and girls and girls, from sixteen
to sixty, assorted sizes, and all looking
for the man. There are lots of him
running around in the days of his
youth, but for a real ninu such as we
are led to expect, by nil the summer
lore ever written, hangs his delightful
self around summer resorts and wears
white duck and brings you wuter lilies
ami xiKira over n lumuionn ni 3'OU
'nenth the pale moonlight?there isn't
n single specimen wandering for miles
around our villa.
I)o you know what they call this particular
eyrie I have alighted on? No
I Man's Land. Pleasant, isn't it, after
you've toiled over a typewriter while
the wintry wind did a ragtime dance
around your furless throat and 3*011
didn't give a rap because 3*011 were
thinking of your white waists and your
linens and organdies and your heavenly,
flopp3* Trianon hat with its lace
veranda, ail of which should storm the
heart of the summer man and make
him fall down and worship by the silvery
starlight?
I Nancie Bell, it isn't any such stuff.
There isn't nii3' summer man, and
even if there were and he didn't
have sense enough to run away the
minute he grasped the situation I
J wouldn't have a bit of respect for
him.
I That's all. I shall he home in a
few days, Just as soon as I have tan
enough to bluff the stay-at-homes into
the idea that I've had a glorious time
and been belle of the bench. Bo
| strong, Nancie. Don't look even nt am
excursion steamer. If sinners eutlce
thee, dress up in your organdies and
! walk down Fifth avenue and you'll
. see more admiring sons of Adam In
an hour than you will out here in a
week. Haplessly yours,
-PEBDITA.
Day After Yesterday.
Hello, ceutrnl! All hail the man!
He came, he saw, and Caesar isn't a
circumstance. lie has taken the large
comer room. Mrs. Banks, our general
overseer, says he is an exceptional
3*oung man. Wonder how much board
he paid In advance!
He isn't real young nor real old; just
that intermediate age that is so interesting.
I don't think he is exactly
handsome, but you know what a properl3*
trimmed Vandyke and a pair of
rimless eyeglasses will do for nny man.
He's that kind.
This morning he escorted all of us
through the glen. Did I tell you that
wi* nuu u gien t on, yea; uien Hllyn.
Just fernlnst the vllln. It's n break in
the sand bluff, and it's damp an<T piny
and darksome at midday. Heretofore
the organdie liock had religiously eschewed
its ferny swampiness, but you
should bare seen us trail after him
over fen and stump and hidden vine
the while he fished out dinky little
weeds and discoursed on them.
I opine he is a botanist. Well, it's
better than a barber. A letter came for
him today addressed to Professor Adrian
Yogel. How's that for individuality?
lie looks it too. He does not
dance, and he doe9 not play the mandolin.
He goes for bis morning dip at
some unenrthty hour before we are up.
In fact, he does not do any of the orthodox
summer "manlsms," but he bas
manners and customs of his own.
For Instance, he sings, and sings welt
There are about ninety and nine muses
who group themselves in the parlors
after dinner to listen to their Apollo.
When ho sings "All Aboard For Dreamland"
he looks at you as much as to
say he has only two passes for the boat,
but the other one Is for you.
Yachting and nutolng he classes as
nerve racking, but nature and close to
nature's heart and all the rest of It Is
what the professor's Joy Is. I think
privately we would get closer to nature's
heart and the professor's heart,
too, if he could be made to understand
awmwIIAMM* A?.?1 *

bis botany pupils. But be cannot He
calls for a class, and we are all classed.
I hope for the best. So do the other
ninety and eight muses. Botanlcally
yours, PBRDITA.
Saturday.
Come to No Man's I.and every time
for something doing. We have saved
the professor's life. If It had only been
one of us It wouldn't have been so complicated.
A composite gratitude doesn't
go far when It lias to be passed around.
It was long after lunchtime, and he
never misses lunchtime. He can put
away more fried blueflsh and blackberry
potple than five of the muses,
but It Is only proof of his exceptional
excellence, and the overseer never rebukes
him.
Did I tell you she was a widow, also
Interested In botany 7 I think she stands
second best He likes fried blueflsh, etc.
[ Anyway, we missed him, and there
. 'IT'.*:-'-: - " ' .
ggg^gg"! ,
was a swift summer* storm stealing
blackly up from the horizon, and the
sea moaned as it broke in sobs along
the shore.. They do that kiud of thing
all right I used to think that went
with the summer man, but it doesn't.
MacGregor Clarence Blair said he
hadn't showed up since breakfast, and
he'd seen him making n bee line for the
glen, and he'd said, "What's yer hurry t"
and the professor bad sj/|d he hoped
he could have one morning In peace to
study without that thundering crowd
of old maids hiking nfter him.
We didn't believe MacGregor. He
looks like u pale, new sand fly, and his
father and mother own all of No Man's
Laud. Tlic professor never In oil this
world used such words as hiking nnd .
thundering, but MacGregor did. Therefore,
I mny say, In the snmo common
parlance, that the whole thundering
crowd of old maids pitched h) and lambasted
MacGregor until his pretty
white linen suit was not fair to see nnd
his twining curls were full of sand
burs. Then he howled nnd retracted, . _
and we nil went up the glen after the
professor.
The gleu deepens nnd darkens as you
go In, nnd the sides are rocky nnd precipitous,
with' much shrubbery hnd undergrowth
nnd scrnggly pine trees listed
to windward. And Just as the first.,
streak of lightning quivered In the sky **
we beard n faint shout for help.
It was the professor. Ho hung suspended
in air on the bare limb of fl~
dead pine tbnt jutted out from the rock
halfway lip the bluff, like Genius on
Pegasus, the widow said?ou a petrified
Pegasus.
Then Genevieve Perlcy, our college
product, said Pegasus couldn't be petrified.
lie would have to be ossified.
And the widow begnn to cry and sat
down on n log and said she didn't enre
a bit either way, ossified or petrified,
nnd Trofessor Vogel was such a lovely
man nnd always paid his board like a
gentleman, nnd she bated to see him
killed before her eyes, nnd she never v
felt so much like fainting before In all
lier life.
Genevieve said fainting was counted
out. He was a fine target for lightning
up there, and, while it was hone of
her business nnd she hnd no Interest in

good thing.
"In mountainous countries," began
Agatha, tlio artist, who has been Europized,
"I believe they tie a rope
around the waist of one person"?
"It's the shoulders," said Genevieve;
"kind of a slipknot."
The professor shouted for help again,
this time fainter still.
"No; the waist," said Agatha flrmly.
' "And lower that person over the mountain
side until lie rescues the other
party."
"tiet's lower MacGregor," murmured
Genevieve, but the widow cried end
said her feet were getting wet aud'she
didn't think it tvas right to joke in the
face of death.. That braced us up, because
the professor did look like it, so
while the fleeting moments sped Genevieve
and I sped fleeter and found
some clotheslines and a couple of husky
lads in sweaters from the peanut stand
and the bontliouse, and we sped baek to
the glen.
Then the husky luds climbed the
bluff on the sandy side and did the
Alpine act with the clotheslines, assisted
by several ropes from the boathouse,
and before our eyes the professor was
pulled back to life and liberty.
He is resting now. It Is dark and
still at the villa. No hops or mandolins
tonight. The shock will bring him
to, I think, from the botanical dream
and cause hlin to concentrate his Joy N
on some loving, sympathetic heart, and
It may be your PERDITA.
Monday.
I shall be home on the Tuesday boat.
Thfc' other girls are packing too. The
overseer has fainted. Only the professor
is serene. lie was up bright and
early this morning to meet the 0:08
train, and when he came back he had a
Mrs. Professor and three little Professor
Juniors tagging merrily along after
him.
No, I don't think men were deceive
ever. I think it was nbsentmlndedness.
Only Mrs. Professor gave the
muses their crushing blow when she
said she was so glad we had all Joined
the professor's summer botany class,
as he had reduced the course rate to
$10, and she thought it wns the sweetest,
most elevating study one could
take up. We all assured her it was elevating.
It was?for the professor.
And we're all going home tomorrow.

There is nothing that astonishes a
woman so much as meeting a man
who takes her at her word. X certain
very Impetuous young woman living
in the suburbs of this city experienced
this unique sensation when she attended
a musicale given by a friend
and met a specimen of the too literal
male. Bho was about to leave the
house when her hostess called after

at her light. "Delighted," saiAwdhe
would be escort, beaming on the young
woman, and he slipped on his overcoat
and aiood ready .with hat and
umbrella In hand. "Ob, please don't
bother," said the protesting girl. "You
know I am quite accustomed to going
out alone. I am not the least bit
afraid. I nearly always leave here unescorted."
"Oh, well. If that Is the
case," said the stupid man, "I don't
need to go then. I would not think of
interfering with your lifelong habits."
And without giving the Independent
young woman a chance to avail herself
of his escort, he threw off his overcoat
and joined a pretty blond at the end
