girl with pair Of field glasses, eagerly
peering out TO sea She was waiting
for somebody. As she waited the wind
played all manner OF antics with her.
II untwisted her vail from her hat and
sent IL careening away like Fourth OF
July streamer. and as her skirts whisked
about in the breezes there was moro

underwear. But the girl didn't seem
TO mind IT. She kept on looking; and,
finally, fishing boat came IN sight
pulled up at the pier and from its deck
a sunburned fellow threw kiss to the
wind-blown maiden. But she appeared
not over-pleased. She frowned; and
when the young man came near enough
she said: 1--WE been waiting for you
here in the wind for more than an hour
and I'm nearly blown TO pieces. / think

like this"
But / didn't know you were CON-

stood, he suddenly discovered his moth

The sight of the other young lady was

There they como now" be said, hur-
riedly. Now, Dolly, if you 90 to max
ing any row I'll never speak to you

them. But I'll meet you In an hour on
the hotel piazza"
He kept his word, and that evening
they were seen sitting happily under
