12 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNAJAY, JULY COSSIP OF SUMNER DAYS Well Known Society People Write of Dakota's Hot Springs WELCOMED THEIR SON'S BRIDE Bwell Wedding on the Hooks for October— What Fashionables Are Doing In These Enervating Times—Move- ments the Past Week. Whether sweet sixteon or that uncertain ago in which every man halts in his speech lest he give it all away, the Summer Girl egain looms in the social horizon, outlined against summer porches and groen troes or the smiling soa, but wherever she Aappears the fairest, most plcturesque and most inter- esting object around. Emerging from hor ochrysalis state with the heat of these generant July days she has burst forth from her silken cocoon a gay ana glittering butterfly, wonderful to behold, full of transformations and elusive enough, as many an amateur masculine entomotogist will doubtless find out beforo the summer days aro dead. There are, of course, Summer Girls still in town, for there are many vari- etios of her, and they may bo found in Hans. com park, or taking an airing these torrid nights on the Farnam,stroet prom- enade or journeying to Lake Manawa for an evening on the toboggan. Some are still in the undeveloped stage, but in every s and circle from the girl of the factory or store, to the heiress who will bo the bello at Spirit Lake, Cloar Lake, or Asbury Park, all who are not already full fledged butter- flies are proparing to spread their wings. It is but a hittle while since it was things that were going on and now it is people, and how they are going on and in how many di- rections. The Summer Girl, of course, is not a recluse snd therefore the man who be- longs to that genus Is not likely to find her. As a rule her haunts are in the crowded laces of nleasure and \herever the wild unt for amusement is In progress. The world, it seems, the crazy topsy turvey twentloth century world, must be amused and the Summer Girl especially. Therearea fow, just & few, peopie in whose familics there are no actual, or might, could or would be Summer Girls, who wonder 1f thero is anywhere this side of the celestial Eden such & thing as peace, any placo that s free from noise and crowds ~and excitements. [s thereany placo whero you can go out of doors without meating” somebody, & spot where you will not have to make acquain- tances at every turn, a haven where cards of invitation do not enter and where hotel tabby spiusters are unknowni If there is there are one or two who would liko to know it, even 1f the Summer Girl and the young man who wears his jacger band outside his clothes or even the other ana even more dis- tressing vand, which assails the ears rather than the eyes, should be missing. It is Bmerson who says that people shovld be taken 1 very smali doses, and the pre- soriptioL strikes many as a good one in the summer time, but the great majority are alo- patbic in their social teudencies and want bie doses. There is no solitudo any more, and aqoubtiess the Summer Girl, with her apa and mamma, as agents and abettors, has bad much to do withit. For, it you seek the mountain top, she is there, or if the far offt wilawood, lo! there is a hotel full of her, every ship of the ocean is laden with ber, ond though you might fly to the most distant part of the earth, yet would she come smiling upon the scone. e The extreme heat of the pust week has sont many & poor papa, mamma and Summer Girl scurrying to mountain retreat or sea- side resort and the town is almost depo) ulated with the howling swells. Society 18 at a standstill and until October dawns the social features of the city will be few and far between, At all our summer resorts by the sad sea waves, utder the whispering pines, in lake- dotted vale, and on the mountain heights, the women are out in forco. They monopolize every hotel piazza; they are found in colonies on the summer bonrding house lawn; in 1roops along the rona-sides, with wild flowers in their grasp; and inside and outside of the stages as tney bowl along in remote districts where the railroad is unheard of and exis ence & day dream. At resorts near by the cities it is wrue men are oocasionally visible—their periods of ap- pearsnce and disappearance colnclding with tho weekly settlement; but many is the rasort that is ever an Adamless Eden, d loud is the summor cry for a man. A salubrious air is ull very well; fine scenery the thing; moonhight nights adorablie; but ever paradise would grow monotonous if thore were no men to keop things going. Since woman thus became the greatest par- ticipaut in the summer leisure and the ruler of t mmer resort, saya the Philacelphia Press, it was not long before the new coadi- Uous of life developed the summer girl. The RKreater the strugple for existence, the more complex become the factors that win, With the Summer Girl, the problem of existence was solved, but that of amusemeat not. Her devolopment hus been on the line of the or- chids that grow more brilliant as tneir chances of altracting’ atlention grow smaller, Year after year has seon her add more gorgeous effects to at- tire, more witchery to manner, ana more indifference to conventionalities that bind the rest of the vear. By an unwritten law no less binding ihan the codes printed in formal tomes, certaiu sorts of attire, cortain social reluxations have been ofticially declared proper, under the chauged conditions which exist between the summer solstice and the autumn equin The Summer Girl, the outgrowth of these free-aud-easy conditions, Is as breezy as the mountain air. and as untiricg s the seething surf. She dresses in perfect suitability, and changes her garmeuts, chameleon-like, as the meteorological or geograpvhica. canditions dictate. Had sho carried recoption room manuers into the wild wood or among the sand duges, the mweu would have beeu roor thn over; but now she is the joy of all—the one redeeming feature of a country retreat, and the glory of the gavest resorts, whoso other attractions pale before the sum- mer girl. Weloomed Their Son's Bride. ‘Warm as was last Monday, the weather was almost forgotten by tne fortunate ones ‘who were invited to the reception given by Mr. and Mrs. A.

The young woman has been a leader in e; sive circles for several years, and what ‘s surprising 1s quito as popular among the men today as four years ago, when ball, party or conversnzione was not complete without her.

DELIGHTS OF THE PLUNGE. How Sauuterers at Hot Springs Pass the Summer Days. Hor S| 68, S.

An immense tank of the clearest crystal Water proves so Lempiing that most people, young and oid, from babies in arms to the dear-faced grandmothor, don bathing suits and euter the water, where -many warm springs aro continually bupbig up, thus Ireshening and changing the wathr every hour. In the upper end, where the depth is not more than turee feet, the water pours in from a large SPrINg, bt 8 tempepniure, all tho year, of 432, One can follow ‘e water in 1ts course through the plunge, aud for 100 feot 'twill nov have reached o0 u Gpgth of 1ive foet; then for the remalaing 100 fest 'tis wuch deeper, as tho white flag bearing the words, “Deep Water,” warus all.

There are charming walks and a dear cn- chanting littio park with plenty of seats just Tight for two, hidden among the rocks, while the paths wind in and out, a delight to the fair sex here. The surrounding country abounds with interesting places to visit, and every day varties start off in stages, on horsevack, aud even press the fleet (f) footed burro into service. Wind cave seems to be the most favored of the resorts. and ’tis said it rivals the far- famed Mammoth Cuve of Kentucky. 1tis a stage ride of twelve miles to the cave over an easy rolling highway whose sides aro fillod with interesting wonders, making the trip seemingly a very short ono.

Miss SUMMERGIRL, IN THE BLACK HILLS, How Hot Bprings Appears to Mrs, Adolph Meyer's Hor Sexixas, 8. D, July 16.—-While our friends lo Omaba are sweltering und the thermomoter is steadily and eurely climbing upward, we beve at Hot Springs are in- baling the delightfully pure awr wafted toward us from the grand and picturesaue Black Hills, The journey from Omaba is not partic- ularly interesting, until the litte city of Edgomort Is reached; from thence the scenery Is grand and besutiful, and re- minded me vividly of the couulry around Pk Peak, pa through canons, deep gorges and beautiftl valleys; then again the scene changed, and chains after chains of hills, varying in size and covered with evergrecns, lichens and mountain flowers grosted our view. When we finally reachod our point of destination, Hot Spritigs, we wero very much on the qui vive and we were not doomed to disappomtment. The depot is & tastefully desigued little building of granite and is almost opposite our hotel. Tuo Giilespio is at present the largast hotol hore. 1t fs also built of gray stone (this stone Is found right nero in these regions), and is well equipped for the comfort and con- venience of its guests. ISleotric lizht is used throughout the building, the rooms are high and airy, the cuisine excellent and our genial host, M. Gillespio, does all ho cau to make hus guests feel perfectly at home. Another hotel will be ovened here about August 1 called the Evans. This hotel is buils upon the sito of the old Minnekahta hotel, which W burned to the grouud some time ago. This hotel is about the flnest building L have ever seen at any pleasure resort 1n the west, and 1 may safoly say that evon Omaha would bo proud to claim it for its own. Built of rough hewn grauite, seven stories in height, it 1ooms up an imposing and handsome struc- Manitou aod ture. This hotel Is situatod vis-a-vis tho Gillespie and _whon _roady for oc- cupancy will do much toward mak- ing Hot Springs a favorite northwestorn rosort.

The water is as clear as orystal, 50 that you can drop a silver dollar to the bottow and easily find it again. A large gal- lery runs around the eutire building for the benefit of s pootators.
