guests whome she finds interest

interest others also. And she
accepts only those sponsors
whose products she believes in;
those enthusiastic plugs are
completely sincere.

to depart this place OF sunshine

many people that do not stay
overly long in any one local, so
must l also leave here for new
places.
Always | shall remember the
many months that l have been
enabled to enjoy the chance to be-
in Key West. 1t has not been

Key" to friendships that shall
ever be remembered with hopes
of renewing them again in some
distant time. 1t is the Key" to
warmth and comfort the year
around, while your friends from
the north may be saying one to
another (oh brother! it sure is
cold today. My hands are most
nearly frozen. I'll surely be glad
when summer gets here yeah,
Joel you sure said it. 1t has been
cloudy for several days now.
Haven't seen much of the sun
lately). / think that that is just
about the main drift of thought
in many places.
Here one seems to be quite
far from the cares and worries of
the rest of the world, Perhaps
that is only one of the reasons
why so many persons are always
coming down here. Getting away
from their worries, cares. colds,
coughs. aches and many other
miscellaneous troubles that they
always are encountering in their
countless other paths of life,
A vacationer from the north
will probably say gosh, but |
rather hate to live here. They

over the nlace, back home). That
