THE TEE--DEE OUTINGS FOR SUMMER
Fourteen Prize Trips?-Forty-two People---Twenty-eight of the Sweetest
Girls' to Be Selected by Ballot?Fourteen Ghaperones to Be Appointed
by the Winners?The Young Ladies Are to Be Voted for in Pairs
and Each Party to Have a Chaperone.
A week at the seashoret
A week in the mountains!
Two young ladles and a chaperon 1
Fourteen euch parties, or forty-two
people.
And The ??p???-Diapatcb. to pay the
billa.
That'? the story in brief.
The plan 1? ?simple.
The Tlmes-Dlspatch haa mad? turan ge?
mente with aovan o? the very boat sum?
mer reaorta in the Stato?three at the
seaahore and four In the mountains?to
entertain in the very best etyle those
who go as guests of The Tlmes-DIsaptch.
Obvlously, The Times-Dispatch could
not extend tbe Invitation to all of the
pretty girls nor to all of the charming
chaperones In the State, eo it has be?ui
found necessary to place Just two restric?
tions to this offer. The first and most im?
portant Is that the offer ia made only to
young ladies who by their own efforts
oontribute In part or in whole to their
own support by some regular and steady
vocation.
A POPULAR VOTE.
The other restriction is forced in to the
plan by reason of the utter Inability of
those who make The Tlmes-Dlspatch to
decide who are the most worthy, the moat
charming, or who most deserre a iveek
of Jolly outing. Therefore, It haa been
decided, after careful consideration, to
leave the selection to a popular vote of
the people.
The part of The Tlmes-Dlspatch will be
to present the plan and to pay the .billa.
The part of the girls will be to aee that
they are elected, and the part of the
chaperones?the ehy and modest chap?
erones?will be to wait until they are
Invited. As stated above. The Tlmes-Dls?
patch has already arranged with seven
hotels to entertain the guests of the
paper. There will be ?even hotels and
fourteen parties, of three people each.
Therefore, each hotel will entertain two
parties for a week; party No. 1 going one
week, and party No. 2 the next week.
The voting must all be done on coupons
cut from The Tlmes-Dlspatch, or by

To tneure eleirtion, and to save con?
