Of 1893. when the foreign journalists at

spring was the first to dream of. I
never saw violet or heliotrope straws
in good shops before, but there are
plenty of them now. There are rose
colored straws, too, and every shade of
yellow, from pale cream to last sum-

The sea lion was lying On the beach, along
