'-One glove would be useless,

knew nothing of the man and he
obviously hoped for a filtration.
Later she learned he was married,

One of last summers best vaca-
tions was spent at home. Beth
Just couldn't go away when her
mother needed a rest and change
80 badly. So with her vacation
fund she sent her, protesting, to
the seashore.
The day after her mother re-
turned Beth and Tom spent the
afternoon at Coney Island. They
tried all the adventures from hot
dogs to the scenic railway.
1t was while they were flying
round a sharp corner on the
roller coaster and Beth was
screaming with fright and laugh
ter and clinging to him for dear
life, that Tom found courage and
time to propose and Beth to say
t'Yes!'
