everything is ready, however, there will be
no unoccupied space. and the showing will
be fully up to that of last year.

enading. and no lack of chairs for those
who preferred watching the crowd pass by
to forming part of the promenade. The

glories of white neckties. canes and button
hole bouquets as large as themselves, in
blocks of five. They enjoyed themselves
hugely, sampling all the free mineral waters,
flirting and recountng their conquests TO
each other.
