the golden beach, the white curl Of
the surf. were like poetry and music,
and yet among the people who jour
neyed that day to enjoy fair place
only a few had time to go out on the
cliffs and revel in color and beauty,
because at neat little stall there was
collection Of perishable souvenirs for
sale. and so great was the demand for
them that the buyers had no time to
feast their eyes elsewhere-a proof
that purchasing Is more interesting to
the majority than observing.-Eliza-
beth G. Billings in Atlantic Monthly.
