that are both interesting and easy to j
comprehend, such articles as this I
cue. stating facts and not exagger-j

stub an intelligent manner that the i
article can be read and reread with j

and the only girl may insist upon a
trip up or down the Coast for a few
days, thus taking you out of town;
but take a tip and do not let any
thing keep you and the “best gal”
