The up-to-datc summer girl. My how
she Ialed into inSignifiCanCe before a
couple of the old-fashioned summer girls
seen on the beach in the early part of this
week for the first time. These latter sum
mer -irls were born within the hearing of
the roar Cf the sea. They played on the
sands wet by the billows all the years OF
their chi dhood. They bathed in the ocean
as children and as young women. They
still battle in it as old women, for they are
old-at least in years. They have passed
the INSTRUMENTATION mark And they
are twins too. They don't live near enough
to the ocean now to hear the plash of the
billows as they break on the sands They
moved to a little farm about eight miles
away from here. on the mainland several
years ago; but not year passes they do
not come down to the shore to spend the
entire month of August. and they bathe in
the ocean every day of their stay, Sunday
excepted Their bathing suits are not Of
the latest style, but they are comfortable
and they are modest. And these summer
girls OF sixty years ago are good swim
merS. They swim as far out as any Of the
young men who visit the resort and can
excel 20 per cent of the young women in
aquatic feats.

Grabbing parties are all the fashion
here too. There have been numerous crab

had them cooked in various styles and gave
