Man is no longer a creature of aeutl-

ment. He wooes the "almighty dollar"

rather than the "summer girl," Women are grown more aelfiah and

demand more luxunea, and It la neces•ory that men shall never cease from hla labors in order to satisfy her exac-

tions.

Any and all of these reasons may go to explain the ahsenoe of that quite niwiMsary factor in woman’s happiness —the fket remains the same—the fact that the man Is misting. Admitting the reasons advanced the cause of hit absence, we have fear that they are likely to continne, and, doubtless. Increase, until the sight of a man at a summer resort will be as startling an apparition as a woman would have been to Robinson Crusoe on his desert island.—Ocean City "Reporter.”
