Ladies', who, in picking their way
across the dusty streets Of the city
scarcely dare raise their trails from the
filth of busy thoroughfares for fear Of
displaying to curious gaze a small foot
on neatly trimmed ankle, here perform
all kinds Of acrobatic and tumbling
feats on the beach, and in the breakers,

gently aside and If the sinful practice is
noticed 1t will be with wink and
paliating utterance that "young blood
will evervesce." 1t will hardly effect it.
