His fiancée was at Cape May, and there he went to spend a few days. The very first morning she went to see her dressmaker and remained so long that in pity she told him to go to the beach and enjoy himself until she arrived. Some time later she appeared, and was shocked to find him in the embrace of a beautiful young woman, a stranger to her. His explanation that she had "come out of a seashell," seemed to lack plausibility, but he insisted that it was true. Later, the young woman's conduct proved the truth of the strange story, and the girl and her sweetheart had all kinds of adventures in trying to escape her. She followed them when they went in bathing, she was on hand when they went salting and fishing. The young man was helpless, and did not have any idea how matters could be remedied. Fortunately he had a resourceful woman in the girl of his choice and she found a way to dispose of the unwelcome stranger, who, despite her youthful appearance, boosted that she was more than 4,000 years old, and was hardly the kind of a woman that a matter-of-fact young clerk would choose for his bride.
