PICNIC LOVE.
‘ Mabel,’ faltered the youth in the gorgeous blazer. ‘ I am deeply disappointed. The partiality you have shown for my society during the many little excursions we have taken together, and the delightful little evening—er—lunches we have had since the summer season began, led me to expect a different answer.’ ‘ Because I have looked upon you as an agreeable escort to picnics, and lawn tennis parties, and for summer evening promenades, you have regarded yourself as my accepted lover, have you, George ?’ ‘ And it is because I have been available for these things,’ he said indignantly, ‘ that you have accepted my attention, is it ? You regard me merely as a summer lover I piesume ?’ ‘That is about the case, George,’ replied the maiden as she dug a hole in the sandy beach with her parasol- * I have looked upon you as a lover fill a picnickian sense only.’
