the Florida beaches where winter
visitors disport themselves. It's the
Valleys own Boca Chica and Padre
Island resorts which lure the plea
sure-hunters throughout the warm
months.
With such engaging prospects 1T
is little wonder that society takes
to the water for the summer, and
the charms of bridge and indoor
entertainment is almost obScured,
and that most parties begin OF end
with a visit to one of the favored
beaches. The younger set, espe-
cially, delight in the informal plea
sure Of such parties, and many
coats of the fashionable suntan, the
real thing, too, prove that they
have been INDUCING their prefer
enceS.
Most bridge clubs are languishing
in the doldrums through the mid
summer, and church societies are
meeting only occasionally. The Hi
10 bridge club discontinued its
meetings some time ago; the Tues
day club, and several of those
meeting on Wednesday have also
given up their Journeys for the
summer.
After continuing v~aliantly
through June, the Methodist Mis-
5ionary has cut its meeting to only
two a month in July and August;
the Presbyterian auxiliary is meet
Ing monthly, and the woman's
guild closed the year with a tea
early in June. The Altar society
of the Sacred Heart church has
ceased its activities for the vaca-
ton period.
All study clubs closed their
years work in May.
And then, no, hum! Just ever so
many of the women who are busy
guiding the destinies of the city
and nation, improving their minds,
Of just having a good time, have
consigned such energetic pursuits
to moth balls for the summer, and
observe, with a luxurious little muir
muir:
"It's so nice not to have meetings
to attend!" while another matron
who usually keeps quite busy get
ting things done, remarks that Il
just don't do a thing in the after
moons, but just rest, and rest"
About half the population has
answered the call of the road and
hied themselves to the mountains,
or the north, or the south, or the
east, for a taste Of the gayety Of
the bright lights.
And that's where Brownsville
society has gone.

along with all the rest of the record

the millionaires in their private cars
as by the turf tribe typified by "Um-

derby In at least 80 years.
The main facts of the 1929 edition
OF the Derby can be set forth much
more quickly than any argument can

for approximately S p. M, central
