They are Nag's Head and Ocracoke,' said Miss1 Pauline Smith in Washington, N. C* as we were waiting for the boat. We' Went to Ocracoke where we spent eight days on vacation last week. The "we" was a party of Ave Lopis burg boys and myself. Bill lulls, John Mills, James Wheless, Arthur1 Fleming and John Williamson were the boys. A lire bunch they were, too. jSomt.hing was doing every minute ] thitr eyes were open, jThe trip from Washington to Ocra jcoke was enchanting. It was by boat. ' 76 miles of water on a sail boat, tear ing Washington at 8 p. m. and arriv ing at Ocracoke 6:30 a. m. made it an all night trip. The stars and moon were never brighter and I did not sleep a wink. Ocracoke is. a island, almost as flat i as the water which surrounds it, in-1 habited by fishermen. With a popula tion of a little more than 600 they have a village, all their pvs. Three churches, a school, a post office and This Is To ANNOUNCE jr ^ That I have sold my Jew elry Store to M.

When they gathered in their rooms pairs would match each other in tell ing where they had been and how many girls they had seen or talked with. This they called "tricks."
