Natives of coastal lands know full well that sharks, provided with serrated, scimitar-sharp teeth, are to be assiduously avoided if there is. blood in the water, or at dusk when most actual shark attacks seem to occur. Widespread accounts of death by shark bite are encountered throughout Polynesia, the Philippines, and South Seas.

With this in mind, Christopher Billopp, of the Baltimore Evening Sun, compiled a list of things to say. Because it fills a long-felt want, it is published here.

When did you last have that suit pressed? You are not as young as you were. There are lines under your eyes. What's that? You don't like to be told? Goodness, but you are sensitive!-The William Feather Magazine. APRIL, 1939 51
