VACATION AT HOME AM spending my vacation at home this summer because: (1) I am bathed in an atmosphere of gaiety and color in a picturesque fairyland of warm, sunny days and cool, moonlit nights; I am enjoying all of the glamourous comforts of home; the cui- sine is incomparable; the accommoda- tions are luxurious; the rooms are at- tractively furnished with every modern convenience; the house is ideally situ- ated in a veritable summer paradise. (2) I can loll in a hammock in my romantic back yard under a glorious azure sky and tropical sun with the gen- tle, languorous lappings of the water in the duck pond sounding softly in my cars. (3) I can play tennis on the mag- nificent courts of the world-renowned Community Club; I can swim and canoe in the clear, blue, limpid, sun-rippled waters of Dakin’s Pond; I can play golf on the unparalleled links of the famous Mudhollow Country Club; I can go hiking over charming, verdant back lots and cowpaths; I can fish for huge, gamey trout in the sparkling waters of Sinkhole Brook. (4) From my front porch I can view the awe-inspiring, majestic, indescrib- able scenery of Mudhollow: Main Street stretching away before my enrap- tured eyes into the purple distances of Scragg’s Hill; sublime sunsets over the Masonic Temple; Maple Street present- ing a beautiful vista of intriguing gas stations, hot dog stands, chain stores and palatial mansions. Mudhollow is quaint and steeped in Old World charm. The exotic and unique beauty of Tyler's Fill- ing Station is breath-taking and soul- stirring. (5) I have every facility for glorious rest and healthful, wholesome recrea- tion. (6) I'm broke. —Max Irwin CarruTH. eee The two champions put on a lively battle. Now they have stopped slug- ging—they're only sparring. The Ad- ministration says it wants to call it quits and shake hands. But capital still has a saddle-sore which will take a long time to heal. Esquire. Didn't anyone yell “foul!"’? “SHUCKS, WE MISSED THE HOSPITAL.” Social Duty We must have the Millers to dinner... They wined us and dined us in May With port, smooth as satin by Skinner, And flounders from Barnegat Bay. We must have a party for Fifi Before the whole summer is gone, And now that the arbor is leafy, We should have a brawl on the lawn. We owe Sunday lunch to the Bronsons, We haven't made good with the Cooks, ‘We ought to remember the Johnsons At home with their noses in books. Oh, doubtless, they're glad to be quiet... I'd fancy a respite myself. Dear lord and master, let's try it! I long for my turn on the shelf. —MARGARET FIsHBACK. Conde E LINE=== ° ZI san EVERY FRIDAY FROM NEW YORK 16 DAYS trom $285.
