young fawns and baby turtles: bottles
with long necks, and bottles with rib
bonS and French flowers. And each

there's the lady in the verse, and the
average American girl. The Amer
lean girl is so healthy and active that
she rarely has such serious SORROWS.
And surely she uses her fan only for
a breath Of air.
And now speaking Of active Amer
lean girls, the riding classes have
started again, nj Camp Travis. They
