This Week’s Cover
- Out of all the dunes on Long Island, this mob had to pick the one tenanted by Romeo and Julia. What’s more, the attack will be reinforced by the rest of the picnic, coming in another car: Uncle Clem, Aunt Kate, two loud cousins, and a kitten to tangle with that dog. How unkind fate is to sweethearts; how heartless painter George Fate Hughes was to bring this about. And yet it is well that the course of true love runs rough part of the time, for a boy and girl practice with misfortune as well as good fortune, to test the trueness of their love. Soon Romeo and Julie will look back at each other, and suddenly the bellowing of their beachmates will seem far away, just part of the lovely murmur of the romantic sea.
