Time And Tide

HERE come The Twins at last, unpunctual and charming as éver. Too late to offer them tea, of course, with the hands of the cabin chronometer standing at an uncompromising six-fifteen. And so the visit will develop once again into an informal cocktail party as The Twins have quite possibly foreseen.

Luckily there is still a shot or two of gin in the cabin locker, and a tall bottle of Rose's Lime Juice in a cunningly constructed

rack. The Twins are quite firm about this gin and lime. They know it helps to keep those slender graceful figure lines which appeal to yachtsmen like some shapely, beauty from the yard of a master-builder. The yachting

world bestows no higher praise. And never by any chance can there be the tiniest trace of a headache after Roso's, an important point for young ladies as popular, as these unpunctual Twins.
