AUGUST IN NORTH DEVON 207 



Processions of bare legs, from the lean and 

 long to the short, fat and chubby, wend their 

 way towards the joys of the beach, the sand- 

 castles, rock-pools, shrimping, paddling, surf- 

 bathing, sand-cricket, golf, sandhill toboganning 

 and other delights. The finest sight in the 

 world, healthy young England at play by the 

 sea, with the gorgeous background of " glorious 

 Devon." This is no time for indoors. Again I 

 put away the pen, and this time for a real 

 outdoor day.
