FAD AT CHESAPEAKE

When baby wants a balloon at
Chesapeake Beach, now, he doesn't
ask papa for a dime, but gives him
a worm and asks him to fish for one
in the bay.

the bay daily now. and baby finds
they are heaps more fun than the
dainty little top balloons one buys at
the store.
The balloons are fish, variously
known as balloon fish," blows" or
Just plain sand toads." All baby
has to do after papa has caught the
nice fish is to tickle 1t on the
stomach, and presto! 1t blows up as
big as baby wants 1t.
Then II baby wants a real good
laugh, papa sticks pin in the liv-
ing balloon, and pop! 1t blows up
Just like the well-known punctured
soap bubble.

every season but seem to be more
plentiful this summer than ever
