Senate Is Forced
To Take a Recess

by the storm that the Senate was

Twelve, Basking Without Their

Twelve bathers like nymphs at play

would say. were basking in the lux

baths when the storm broke. Fen ap-
parel as large as the leaves which
Adam donned after eating the apple
was not popular with the baskers at
the moment.
First notice of the wildness OF the
storm without came TO the merry party
when the sewers, "backiring" under
the heavy downpour, shot the washings
of the cutters on all sides of the nymph-
Eke figures. Then came the stampede
for the raiment. A confusion Of socks.

and fear. Every one of the nymphS
