Mountains.

Mountains are huge masses of dirt
and rocks, covered with trees and
hotels: also girls in summer.
Mountains vary in height according
to whether you have a room with
bath and bring your auto with YOU.
Mountains are noted for their lofty
airs. They look down on ordinary
hills with contempt. Every mountain
has a valley. Valleys are what make
mountains.
Mountains also have camps. pines
and lakes. These lakes are filled with
ice water and make your cold bath
in winter feel like a simeon. Nothing
i. more delicious when you have left
the city on hot summers day than
to plunge into some mountain lake
and feel the icicles form about your
thyroid glands, while you gaze OH
over the effete civilization, encour-
aged by the party now in power, with
a trapped smile and a heart that
beats in unison with your keeth.-Life.
