On the second dny OF the vacation

to find the young lads supply Of
towels packed securely away In one
corner Of the cottage. thus far un-

the lad and inquired whose towels

Even with face unwashed and tow

probably enjoyed the vacation trip
more than did any other member Of

And the reason for the Iad's enjoy
