The maidens of Tahste we're wont 20
amuse themselves with little picnics
among the breakers, at which their
lovers assisted, and these innocent re-
creations were encouraged by prudent
mothers, for it is an old saying in these
parts that well contested swimming
match is pretty sure to be followed by
a match of another kind. But at pre-
sent the whole business of foundering
in the salt water has become decidedly
Questionable. The ladies no moro
exhibit their fair proportions among

the young gentlemen in the deep wa
