dce-cream soda time is here in
plenty. Yesterday scores of white
dressed girls, real girly-girls with
merry widows and other things, flock
ed to the Soda-water parlors, followed
but not accompanied by Straw-aht-
ted, linen-suited and f1annel-trousered
young men, there to drink soda and
f1irt. Yes, they f1irt, indeed they do,
for lady who sat next to two young
men openly accused them of it,
She was accompanied by a younger
woman and young man. All the
tables were occupied, save one at
which two young men were sitting.
There were three vacant chairs there
and the newcomers sat down. Across
the aisle were two really merry
widow girls, slim in fgure-after
Ethel Barrymore or Sarah Bernhard
never did know which started the
fashion of lithesome figures), sun
burned arms, rather pretty, too, and
evidently sisters. The young men
glanced at them, not at all pOintedly,
but the sharp eys Of the eldest of the
two caught the glances. Instantly she
bent forward and in a low voice
whispered to her companion, not so
softly that the young men couldn't

men are trying to fiirt with those
girls, watch them

all there is to do, and the suns hot,
the soda is cold, the fans are cool,
and furthermore, a merry widow is

The members of the Sand Fly
Club, OF DTiftwoOd, wherever that is,
had gathered on the veranda after re-
turning from Sunday calls, the club,
and other places. One of them start

Il caught a founder today, down
at the navy yard"
How 'big?' asked the doctor
Enough for all of us and some for
the cook" was the enigmatic answer.
This is no problem in mathemat-
les" put in the country banker.
We'll, it was about this big" re-
piled the navy yard man, as he held
his hands a couple of feet apart
There was silence for a few minutes
the only real way to receive a fish
story.
Il was swimming across the bay
today said the big fellow, apropOs
of nothing. "A porpoise came up
near me and nearly scared me to
DEATH
Ever see them fght?" asked the
ex-candidate from South Florida
They can whip a shark any day"
How do you know" put in the
doctor.
I've seen them. They used to give
Sunday exhibitions, off Tampa mile
or two. I've won lots of money on
them. Much better sport than cock
or goat fighting. Fellow down there
trains 'em from babes. It's good
sport"
How do they fight?" politely in
quired the newspaper man"
Shouts, like hogs" was the la
comic answer.

'Porpoise will save your body
when you drown some of these days
on one of those wild voyages of
yours" volunteered the big fellow.
Il don't care whether they save
the writing man.
They will, though; that's a fact.
They'll blow body to the top of the
water and then push it to shore and
stay with it after they get it ashore
How unnatural" calculated the
victim. Silence followed. Finally the

man. Everybody except the auto
doctor smiles. Then he said. well,
I've got to get home. Come out and
crank up for me-"
THE Sand Flys stand adjourned"
