 This means that Frank and l are 'buddies" and, believe me, we are having some time eating here and there and trying out the [. movies. theatres and summer resorts. He is tied up at school only in the morn ing and has all the afternoon and night free, and so has plenty of time to look around and get what pleas ure he can.
 Today is his birthday. He is >1s years old and feet 3 inches tall. I do not know how tall he would have been, but his mother has never allowed him to drink either tea or coffee for fear it would stunt his growth. He made the point on her recently when he wanted to be put on an iced tea diet that he thought she would be safe in indulging him to the extent of one glass.
 took him out to Edgewood and when he waded out into the pool and started across the portion which was marked 6 feet 6 inches deep, and his head was still out of water. It was too much for the life guard who said to me, Doe, I thought you told me your little son was six feet. l know he is at least seven feet. for there he is in the deepest hole, and 1t only comes up to his chin."

 If you have never had to get your meals downtown save in the middle of the day l advise you to vary the monotony of the bill of fare by try ing 8 new place every time your ap- petite needs satisfying. If you make up your mind. you can have lot of fun by eating ip a spirit of adven- ture. You can get meal at a club, hotel, restaurant, cafeteria, or at one of the resorts where chicken din- ners are featured, or fl you can stand 1t, try a hot dog or your way home g ster a swim.
 If you are trying to have a kind of half vacation without quitting work or leaving town, you can go to baseball, have a wide choice as to movies, take in vaudeville, cover the various car lines in search of new points of interest, tour the nearby highways in your automobile, stroll around the streets and look in the shop windows, loaf in the hotel lob. bies and, if religiously disposed. ever go to prayer meeting.
