"I think it's grand! Can't we stay up late to-night, Mother ?" "You may stay up till nine o'clock, Midget, and we'll go down and see the crowds on the Boardwalk." So after dinner they went down to the gay thoroughfare known as the Boardwalk.

It was crowded with merry, laughing, chattering people, and Midget danced along in an ecstasy of enjoyment.
"I never saw such a lot of people!" she exclaimed.

"Where are they all going ?" "Nowhere in particular," said her father.

"They're just out here to look at each other and enjoy themselves." "See those funny chairs, on rollers," went on Midget.

"Oh, can't we ride in them?
Everybody else does." "Of course we must," said her father.
