Show Pretty Walter Girls. ' At the Bear and Fox inn, Onteora, Catskill mountains, the summer resting place of "Mark Twain" and his family, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Hutton, Mr. and Mrs. Brander Matthews, Mrs. and the Misses Bend, Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, Carroll Beckwith and family and a few more charming people, the cottagers take their meals in the club dining room. There are twenty small tables, beautifully appointed, at which twenty young American girls are in charge. The young women were trained by Miss Grace Dodge and placed in their present position. They dress in unstarched gingham, white caps and pinafores, light soled shoes and bright neck ribbons. Their hands and finger nails are always clean, their tresses lightly dressed, their voices are low, their words few, their movements graceful, grace-ful, and their service unapproachable. You can fancy their worth, capability and the esteem in which they are held when I tell you that they answer to the name of ''my dear." Catskill Letter. ' |
