This is the time Of year when we
begin to hear vacation stories. For in
stance persons who have returned
from New York tell US that craps and
put and take" have given way to a
more intellectual gambling medium
down in New York's financial district.
A store on a busy corner there has
had copies printed of the Edison
a quarter each. The stenographers
and clerks bet their small change on
the ability of themselves and new
Corners to answer the questions.
Then there is the story of the sum-
mer hotel in the east where the mana
| fact that no asset is unalloyed. A
pretty little lake shimmers a short
distance from the hotel and a golf
course hugs its shore. As a piece of
! scenery it was fine, but people kept
! jumping into it to swim, and as the
manager was all against his lake be-
! ing used that way, he bought him a
fine. vigorous alligator and dumped
him in the lake. Great! Not a
swimmer swan there any more. But
the alligator chung close to the shore
and the golfers got SO fused they
couldn't golf. Also it ate up all the
balls that slipped to the waters edge.
/ n
mer hotel as swimmers are not and
so the poor manager is in a quandary.
Then someone who has been visit
ing Brighton Beach in New York tells
us all about the Importance of rubber
tires at this beach. Skating is one of
the popular amusements. All smartly
costumed in fetching bathing suits,
the flappers don roller skates with
high rubber wheels and glide across
I the sands It's fine exercise and be-
sides it shows off ones bathing suit
| so much better than just ordinary
| swimming. But for those who insist
on going into the surf there is the
! new sea-wave tea-table. Rubber tires
! once more, Bathers are taking an auto
, tire, well inflated, stretching a piece
of rubber cloth across it and there it
is. A fine floater to hold their tea and
sandwiches with which to refresh
themselves and without getting out of
the water.
We are wondering If a new style is
to be launched in our midst. One of
our young matrons who has returned
from spending her @yacation in the
suburb of a big western city tells the
following vacation story. The fair
housewives in this particular suburb
have taken to watering the lawns in
their bathing suits. At first they
wore them to do the work around the
house and they got the lawn water
ing idea. At first the neighbors
stared but not for long. and when the
young Topeka matron returned home
nearly every woman in the block in
that particular city suburb was doing
1t. When they're thru watering the
lawn they turn the hose on them
selves.
Camp DayIesford has a new sport.
Did you ever see man and a girl in
swimming when all of a sudden they
would both dive under water and after
while when they came up both
would be looking real loverlike?
Wen, the secret is out, they have been
doing it out at the Camp, kissing each
other under water. Sounds real
moist.
| One of the girls who has returned
from vacation is having a little
| problem to face. While she was away
sne met good looking chap who be-
came very attentive to her and she,
sort or seeming a possible romance,
tried to help it along in various ways.
The man has the idea that the girl is
/ a widow and is to follow her home
| next month for a short stay here. 1t
seems to be real love affair but the
girl can't figure out how she can tell
him that she isn't really a widow after
all.
