OLD LOVES AND NEW

Because this: correspondence which reached us recently is so typical of a White-collar girl on va cation, it is felt it is worthy of pub lication. A letter written on the day following the vacationist's arrival as a seaside resort reads:
 Tt seems there was never any yesterday-only today. Things have happened so fast, in fact, it all seems like a dream.
 We haven't had a free minute since we arrived. That very eVen- ing a crowd from the hotel went over to the village dance. Hadn't even set foot in the place when a handsome fellow came right up, and well-you know the rest. Hes Won- derful. An ex-lieutenant of the Marine Corps. Cute as button and loads of fun. He had a nice friend for Sue so We left the dance and went over to the Boston Club. And l never, never had so much fun. really can't believe it's me having So much fun.
 Yesterday. we played a round of golf at the Country Club, went for sail in the afternoon, and then had dinner and went dancing again. Tomorrow we are going horseback riding. We's going further up the Cape on Thursday. It's all so won- derful!'
 Card received several days later;
 What wonderful place this is. Have been in love twice since we ar rived here Thursday. One was a teacher. He was interesting-but very quiet. On the beach on Friday, along came an artist. Hes travelled a lot and is simply fascinating. Cute as button and loads of fun. In great haste"

Friendliness Without Discernment


 The rising cost of living early this spring forced a friend of uors to do some sharp figuring. Fifty dol lars monthly could be saved, she decided. if they moved perman- ently to their small country home Since the cottage was devoid of all conVeniences. the move meant sacri- fieing all the pleasantries of urban living But finally the decision was made.
 Several renovations had to be made to the cottage before 1t could accommodate the couple perma- nently. an overflow of furniture had to be disposed of. but at last the couple were comfortably housed And they were achieving their end They were saving $50 monthly-or $500 annually.
 A few weeks later, a sohcitous friend suggested since the lady of the house was alone throughout the day, and far removed from neigh bors. that she get herself a dog. The canine would not only keep intrud- CTS away, she argued, but would prove an excellent companion. In fact, the lady knew where a dog could be obtained-and it was a fine St. Bernard: The couple acquisced Then the Bernard arrived. He was as big as pony. and there wasn't enough space in the small house to keep him indoors even temporarily. So large supply of lumber had to be ordered immediately to build him a house.
 He was friendly and gentle and quiet and his owners immediately formed a strong attachment for him. In short order, they also learned he required many pounds of food daily, and it had to be served with out lapse
 The lady of the house, tallying her household accounts a month after the Bernard's arrival, learned to her dismay the dogs mainten- anee was costing $50 per month. The desire to economize and the desire to keep the dog caused con- siderable conflict. But the Bernard won out After all" explained the lady T really have to have some protection out here. And we're still saving money
 Time went on. The Bernard was by this time an important and be- loved member of the household though a costly one. But the lady was much at ease because the Bern ard never strayed outside of the yard, .* ...
 The other day, while hard at work in the kitchen, the dogs mis- tress observed an ominous-looking stranger peering through the living room window. She steathily crawled to another window to ascertain the whereab bouts of the Bernard. He was licking the strangers boots!
