Tho most important beach resort
a. south America is situated south
~ Bucuos Ayrcs and some Of the
most delightful seaside places OF
Ch.', are south Of Valparaiso. but.
taking only the coast line from Bue-
ro. Ayrcs TO Valparaiso, round the
northern extremity OF the South
American continent, we find no fcw-
or than $3.50 miles of sandy and
rock, beaches, 1850 milos OF which
from Sauto to Antofagasta are
actually within tho tropics.
E'ght Of the ten republics are
maritime. Brazils extension Of
coast rs immense. and of chile Il
pav almost ho said that the country
CONSISTS Of nothing else. II might
thcrrf,ro well be supposed that tho
Young people of both sexes who live
would be addicted to the great
sports 0t swim ming and surf ath-
ing. iu~t as the youth Of New York
delights In the turpid water Of Co
u,y island OFF their means per
wlt--iu the more transparent and
bostcrHus waves Of Atlantic city.
Human nature Is more or loss the
same everywhere, and the urge 10
cool the body in the ocean when tho
suns RVS are insuffprab'y hot IS
felt In IornambucO and Cnllao just
rs strongly as In New York or san
Francisco; but customs difscr, and
the fact remains that tho big coast
cities Of tho southern continent
have not seen tho necessity of max
ing the sea easily accessible TO the
masses for the exercise of the best
sport in The world. and much less
have they tried to poDula"izc this
healthy entertainment by the addi-
ton o' SIDE shows such as have
made Coucy Island famous.
obviously, the nations Of South
America are afflicted with the con
ron"ons Of civilization I'm the same
measure as are we ourselves, and
the people must have compensation
and iuluccmcnt 10 endure the his
a'' nd1n' on their pursuit OF the
joyous dip. Tho swcltcring, con-
fined tourney IN the subway, the
heavy bag, tho hutch IN which thcy
rHdrass the absurd pOndcrOus cos
tune ordained for women by the
h.uo laws, tn" long. woa~v waiting

pleasure must have thcir corro-
