Alta Vista Villa, No Man's Land, Moon of Toppies. Dear—Look at above beading and dream a dream of joy. I'm here, and when I saw that name tacked up over tbe 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 sand and bluff. And sea, lots of sea, so much sea tbat you hope you'll never have to see so much sea again in all your life. Also a bath house, 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 sir.es, aud all .coking for the man. There are lots of him running around lu tbe days of bi« youth, but for a real man such as we are led to expect, by all the summer lore ever written, bangs his delightful self around summer resorts and wears white duck and brings you water lilies and sighs over a mandolin at you 'neath tbe pale moonlight—there isn't a single specimen wandering for miles around our villa. Do you know what they call this par ticular eyrie I have alighted on? No Man's Land. Pleasant, isn't it jtfter you've tolled over a typewriter while the wintry wind 4'd a ragtime dance around your furless throat and you didn't give a rap because you were thinking of your white waists and your linens and organdies and your heaven ly, floppy Trianon hat with its lace veranda, all of which should storm the heart of the man and make ilim down and worship by the sil very starlight? Nancle Bell, it isn't any such stuff. There isn't any summer man, and even if there were and he didn't have sense enough to run away the minute he grasped the situutlau I wouldn't have a bit of respect for him, That's all. I shall be 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 gloriqqa time and been belle. me ' beach. Be iUuits, J?ancie. Don't look even at an excursion steamer.

Haplessly yours, ' PERdvta, Bay After Yesterday. Hello, central! All hall the man! He came, he saw, and Caesar isn't a circumstance. He has taken the large corner room. Mrs. Banks, our general overseer, says he is ao young man, Wonder'how much board pirid' in'advance! He Isn't real young uor real old; Just that intermediate age that is so inter esting. I don't think he is handsome, i>us j,ou know >vb»t ft prop er'} - trnnmed Vandyke and a pair of rimless eyeglasses will <|q fyj. aay man. jle's that kiiuj. morning he escorted all of us through the glen. Did I tell you that we had a glen? Oh, yes; Glen Ellyn. Just ferninst the villa. It's a break in the sand bluff, and it's dauip and piny and darksomft at midday. Heretofore organdie flock had religiously es chewed its ferny swampiness, but you should have seen V* trail after him over (pn puQ stump and hidden vine the. wiiiie 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 Adri an Vogel. How's that tyr individual ity? He li\o£m >t too. He does not dauee, and lie does uot play the mando lin. Ho goes for his morning dip at some unearthly hour before we are up. In fact, he does not do any of the or thodox summer "manlsms," but he has manners and of his own. for. Instance, ne slugs, and sings well. There are about ninety UUJ nine muses Who group themselves In the parlors after dinner to listen to their Apollo. When he sings "All Aboard For Dream land" he looks at you as much as to say he has only two passes for ths boat, but the other one Is for. yuu. Yayhtiug and autoing he cluiseu as nerve racking, but nature and close to heart and all the rest of it is What the professor's joy is. I think privately we would get closer to na ture's heart ami the professor's heart, too, If he could be made to understand the expediency o.f Individual lessonff,for Ulu botany pupils. But he cannot He 9ulis for a class, and we are all classed. I hope for the best. So do the other ninety and eight must*. Botanlcally yours, PEItDITA. Saturday. Cotne to No Man's; every time for something doing. We have saved ihe professor's life. If It had only been one of us It wouldn't have been so com plicated. A composite gratitude doesn't go far when It has to be passed around. It was long after |uvtc.htuu\t, mid h$ never mWsefi ho can put tiwajr more frteti blueflsh and black berry potple than five of the muses, but it Is only proof of his exceptional i excellence, and the overseer never re bukes him. Did I tell you she was a w|dqw, also Interested In botany? I think »he stands second best. He HKes fried blueflsh, etc. Anyway, we missed him, and there 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 kind, thing , all right. I h-ihl to thmfc (hut tven» the snimnvr mun >•••j t d((esn -t. . MkeOr**-;. Clnrence lllnir said he nadn't showed up since breakfast, and he'd seen him making a bee line for the glen, and he'd said, "What's yer hurry t and the professor had said he hoped be could have oue morning In peace to study without that thundering crowd of old maids hiking after hiiu. We didn't believe MacGregor. He looks like a pale, new sand fly, and his father and mother own all of No Man's Land. The professor never In all this world used such words as hiking and thundering, but MacGregor did. 1 here fore, I may say, in the same common parlance, that the whole thundering crowd of old maids pitched In and loin busted MacGregor until his pretty white linen suit was not fair to see and his twining curls were full of sand burs. Then he howled and retracted, and we all went up the glen arter the professor. The glen deepens anil darkens as you go in, and the sides are rocky and pre cipitous. with much shrubbery and un dergrowth and scraggly pine trees list ed to windward. And Just as the first »lfe?lt of !lg|?tj}ing quivered In the iky { we beard a faint shout for help. It was the professor. He bung sus pended in air on the bare limb of a dead pine tbat jutted out from tbe rock halfway up tbe bluff, like Genius on Pegasus, tbe widow said—on a petrified Pegasus. Then Genevieve Periey, our college product, said Pegasus couldn't be pet rified. He would have to be ossified. And the widow began to cry and sat down on a log and said she didn't care a bit either way, ossified or petrified, and Professor Vogel was such a lovely man and always paid bis board like a gentleman, and she bated to see him killed before her eyes, and she never felt so much like fainting before in all her life. Genevieve said fainting was counted out. He was a fine target for light ning up there, and. while it was none of her business and she had no interest in the professor as a lovely man or In the continuance of his regular board pay ing, still she thought a rope might be a good thing. "In mountainous countries," began Agatha, the artist, who has been Eu ropized, "I believe tbey tie a rope around the waist of one person"— "It's tbe shoulders," said Genevieve; •"kind of a slipknot." Tbe professor shouted for help again, this time fainter still. "No; the waist," said Agathn firmly. "And lower that person over the moun tain side until he rescues tho other party." "Let's lower MacGregor," murmured Genevieve, but tbe widow cried and said her feel were getting wet and she didn't think it was right to joke in the face of death. That braced us up, be cause the professor did look like it, so while the fleeting momenta sped Gene vieve and 1 aped fleeter and found Borne clotheslines and a couple of husky lads in sweaters from the peanut stand and the boathouse, and we sped back to the glen. Then the husky lads climbed tho bluff on tbe sandy sido and did the Alpine act with the clotheslines, assist ed by several ropes from tbe boathouse, and before our eyes the professor was pulled back to life and liberty. ne is resting now. It is dark and still at the villa. No hops or m.qpdo lins tonight. The sbqcli \v|l| bring him to, I think, frnuu the botanical dream and cause him to concentrate his Joy 0D some loving, sympathetic heart, and It may be your PERDITA. i Monday I shall be home on the boat. The other girls aiv (lacking too. The overfill, hast'fainted. Only the profess or is serene. He was up bright and early this morning to meet tbe 6:08 train, and when he came back he had Mrs. Professor nnd three little profess or juniors uiitrriiy along after No, I don't think men were delivers ever. { think U was absentmlnded nes«i, (inly Mrs. Professor gave the museti their crushing blow when she ■aid she was so glad we had all joined the professor's summer botany as be had reduced the uiw to $lO, and she th<.,yjui It "was tin* sweet est, ttle.vniiug study one could take up.

Yours for single blessed PttftbtTA, A Philadelphia Gallant, There 1s nothing that astonishes a woman so much as meeting a man who takes her at her word. A certain very Impetuous young woman living in the suburbs of this city experienced this unique wusation when she at tended n musicaie given by a friend and met a specimen of the too literal male. She was about to leave the house when her hostess called after hey: "Ob, don't thiuk of going out on such a stormy night alone. Mr. G. will be glad to go with you. Won't you, Mr. G.?" turning to a gentleman at her right. "Delighted," aatd the would be escort, beaming un the young woman, and be slipped on bis over coat and stood ready with hat and umbrella In hand. "Oh, please don't bother," said the protesting girl. "You mow I am quite accustomed to going out alone. I am not the least hit afraid. I nearly always k>ave here un escorted." "•Oh. well, if that Is the case," said the stupid mun, "I don't need to go tlieu. I would not think of Interfering with your lifelong habits." And without giving the independent young woman a chuucc to avail herself of his escort he threw off Ills overcoat and Joined a pretty blcyid at the end of the hallway.—Philadelphia Record.
