Seashore Joys HE PICTURES of pretty girls and pleasures at the seaside that season and color this ‘‘tan-and-freckle’’ number of JupcE will carry thousands to the shore in imagination, while they will please other thousands who are enjoying the shore in fact. The fascination of the sea touches all alike. Those who go down to it in ships and voyage afar enter into the profounder sensations it furnishes; but shore life in summer is open to the humolest of a multitude that live within its reach, and even interior thousands find something that suffices on the shores of lakes that dot the country. No more entertaining pictures of happy humanity than those found along the sea- shore in summer can be found. Children glory in opportunities that the shore affords, while the fathers and mothers, and even the grandfathers and grand- mothers, enter into tl life and forget for the time more serious things. To the summer girl and the summer young man, nothing else and no other locality can compete with the seashore; and, in spite of the tradition that the summer girl is a fickle creature, itis safe to say that more matrimonial intentions are here resolved to certainties than else- where. And the shore—wherever it may be— develops fun in a variety of forms, espe- Lal i eS PPD 2 RAY { as om deh cially where commercial enterprise plays upon human curiosity and holiday aban- don. Coney Island is known from coast to coast, and in foreign places its original features have been imitated, while a thousand resorts alongshore have adopted some of its eccentric devices for joy. At all such places democracy rules, and old vie with young in experiments that en- tertain onlookers, while they at least satisfy the curiosity of those who indulge in them, Brief Decisions HERE are always a few persons along- shore who really ought to be out rocking the boat. Opportunity, said to be ‘bald behind," is also hard of hearing. The most skillful angler is satisfied to catch one fish at a time. ( A smile of encouragement is like oil on the bearings of a machine. ‘ A sudden step from poverty to riches more often than not is followed by slips and tumbles, If science could also identify graft germs, fewer men of a certain sort would run for office. The hare-and-tortoise tale is all right, but if the race were to the slow there would be no records hung up. You may learn by heart the rules for success disclosed by a man who has won it, but that is only a beginning. If Diogenes were alive to-da: would run across many interesting things while looking for an honest man, “PF Retedy Krom ody Knows Se S Human Nature SCIENTISTS are all the time experi- menting to improve the human race. but human nature continues as it was, A clergyman in Lynn, Mass., appar- ently believing in the theory of eugenics, recently announced that he would perform no marriages unless prospective brides and bridegrooms produced certificates from physicians testifying to their physi- cal fitness for the state of matrimony. According to a dispatch subsequently appearing in the newspapers, the records of Lynn showed that there had been the usual number of marriages in that city following the announcement of the eu- genic clergyman, but he had been left out of the arrangements of all the couples wedded after his declaration of purpose. This may be discouraging to other clergymen who believe in the eugenie theory, and it may induce thought in the promoters of that theory not engaged in the tying of nuptial knots. It will not sur- prise the average philosopher, who knows that human nature cannot be affected as to matrimony by any rules or theories. Ad Homely men will continue to marry beautiful women, handsome men will take to matrimony women who never would get mention in a beauty show, and short men will unite with tall women, and vice versa, speculation and wonder to the con- trary notwithstanding. Cupid dominates in this matter, and Cupid cares no more for science than he does for the general havoc he works with human affections. comicbooks.com
