OF these sharpers are slender, bright-eyed
girls who are familiar to ocean travellers in
the summer season. Not long ago tie
writer saw them board a fast steamer for
one Of their periodical round trips, and they
appeared very pleasant to the eye They
were simply yet richly dressed in becoming
travelling suits One OF them had an ALI
gator tourists bag Sung over her shoulder,
and the other, with equal grace and archne,s,
carried a pair Of marine glasses. The small
snug, gray hats that surmounted their
pretty heads Of neatly done-up hair, their
close-ftting jackets, and strong yet shapely
shoes all bespoke experienced travellers. As
they stood at the steamers rail watching the
busy, jostiing crowd, they were the cynosure
Of al eyes They were not UNATTENDED.
Looming ~ in the background with bland
face was taa male guardian OF the pretty
pair. As the younger men who were going
