never wil have neuralgia. Dress and
stand before the bonflro five minutes
and you will feel llko jumping over

her Sunday best. But do not bother
with laces, nor tatting clothes. Wear
short skirts and base-ball shoos so
that you can run about on tho sandy
beach as graceful as a gazelle, and
enjoy yourself.
Bring a bathing suit sure. When
you see tho huge bonflro you will be

not come amiss for tho englno will storo bathing togs get a suit of blue
spit out great gobs of sparks for tho

protector from sparks. For sparks
might set them on flro and slzz their

If you love tho sunshine, which Is
