GOING TO THE SEA

(Original.)

One day a little girl called Madge and a little boy called Bobby were lying in the garden, when tho postman came up to the door and blew his whistle. They were twins, so they j each took half of the mail to their mother, who was making the beds. One letter was from Aunt May, to ask if they could spend the holidays with her, and Mummy wrote directly to tell her they could. It wa> in the j morning, so they had plenty of time to pack up all their things. It was not until they were in the train that they said, "Have we got the bathing suits?" and Bobby said, "No." But thoir Mother suggested that Aunt May would have some ready for them. In a short while, the train reached the station, and Aunt May was thero waiting for them. They liked ■ their holidays very much, and when it was time to go back to school they did not liko it at all.
