all travellers. she tries to forget the
long journey between Atlanta and the
sea. Most potent to assist her tc.
ward this much to- be desired end are
the fond memories that hover over
the long pier that juts out over the
Atlantic behind the seashore hotel.
That pier is the favored place for
all the "spooners" at Wrightsville
Beach, and right after dinner it IS
most amusing for non-contestants to
see the couples hurry out in order to
be first on the scene where two by
two the chairs are placed to face the
sea. and the waves. coming in from
the far coast of Africa, are the only
intruders of the silence.
Once a couple is ensconced they
are reasonably sure of not being in

go, then almost imperceptible, as
their forms are lost in the semi
darkness of the promenade two other
summer sweethearts slip into their

Wrightsville's "spooning place." for
fiirtations are always in order there.

single-as well is at all other sum-

It's a privilege of these places
which makes fiirtations innocuous. 1t
looks to me like Wrightsville Beach
is to be the favOrite resort for At
lantans this year, as last. Many peo-

n ESPITE the fact that Florida
- spells farther South, this month
has witnessed many tourists
going down from Atlanta to the coast
resorts. Most of these were actuated
by a desire to fish, several yachting
parties having recently been formed
for fishing trip on the coast.
Atlantic Beach is always popular
with Atlanta people in June, though
few go down after July l. The trips
to the Land of the Sky" begin at that
time and continue through the month

the other mountain resorts are at
their best
