Bathing, of course, is only one of the
attractions at Mar del Plata. There
are amusements for men, women and
children. For adults the famous So
cial club, housed in it's own fine build
ing, has many attractions. It's doors
are open TO members and their famil-
les only, and its halls are regarded as
among the resorts most popular social
centers. This club is open from De
cember TO April. Many beautiful wake
and drives along the seashore cliffs
and inland from the water are provid~
ed for those inclined to wander far
from the 'madding crowds ignoble

look out over the vast eXpanse of the
ocean and mediate; quiet spots for

society victim.

away"
Thus a tormenting urchin, lodging
and retreating from the presence of
the wrathful little miss he was mock
ing, Nellie Ross. Lefty" was becom-
ing a hated nickname to the neat,
pretty child, who would incline to am
bidextrous usages, despite discipline
at home and ridicule at school.
Patience had ceased to be a virtue
and the teacher had punished Nellie
for persisting in using her slate pencil
with her left hand. The shy. shame
faced pupil had been sentenced to
stand the cynosure of the whole school
with that persistent left hand held
aloft for five minutes. Again, she was
compelled to hold it in her apron
pocket through the entire session.
They did not break Nellie of her
whim, habit or misfortune, whichever
it was. They nearly broke her tender
little heart, however, as her heaving
breast, her eyes filled with angry tears
showed. The urchin had leased her to
the last point of human endurance.
Nellie had seized clod of earth. She
gave it vigorous fling as her tormen-
tor lodged behind some bushes. Over
past them, leaving the enemy scath-
less, the missile sped.
Crash!
The youngster darted out of view of
the schoolhouse. Nellie, appalled, as
she heard the jingle and clatter of
breaking glass, sank among the shell
ter of some bushes, fairly crushed at
this new misfortune.
"You sneak!" greeted the cause of
all this commotion, and a manly young
fellow, Arnold Wayne, stayed his
course with jerk. "Tormenting a
little girl! Say, if you so much as
breathe word about Nellie breaking
that window, I'll break your head"
Then young Wayne gave his captive
vigorous shake, flung him headlong
into a bramble bush and with resO-
lutte face started straight across the
playground to face Miss Elwood. the

$4,000 people. With the advent of
spring, however, Mar del Plata begins
to assume greater activity, and the
height of gayety is reached about the

To accommodate the crowds of pa

leading to Mar del Plata operates nu-

daily services. Indeed, some of the
best and most sumptuously equipped

on the route between the capital city
and this famous resort. Those who
