He did not seem TO object TO the
young people bathing together. but, as
he tersely expressed it. If you come

A girl with a freckle on her nose was
reading "Sapho' in Chinese chair on
a certain hotel yeranda. Here" said
San Francisco boy, is the sort of girl |

necktie, put on a sporty gait, and in |

pardon, but are you using this chair"
Now, there were nothing but chairs on |
the veranda, but he was abiding to |
the chair next to the girl. She raised |
her turquoise eyes to his. mo, thee |

from Paris the other day. 1t was a
white linen coat and skirt, with pale I
blue stripes, yellow linen shirt, with
tiny white stripes and turned down col

knot, the ends of which were TO be held
by pearl pin. A yellow straw hat
coming well over the eyes accompanied
the costume, and was trimmed with
thick bouillomee OF buttercup-ye
silk muslin, and on the side were two
white wings, rather long, and eurving
over the back.
With this was to be carried cream
silk sunshade. lined with yellow, and
the shoes were white channels. The
stockings were of pale brown open
