"Included in the assortment of gifts are tennis balls, footballs, and basket-balls. These are welcomed with outstretched hands, and great fun Is derived by kicking the balls along the beaches. The basket balls are for the girls, and they revel in throwing them around; it is good, vigorous exercise, and an ideal winter pastime for them".
