Rita had to arrange,her' vacation trip iti•a hurry.. A sudden

After seven o'clock that, evening (when evening, rates •over
Long • Distance 'were in '•force) she called ' her ol'd school
chum,Helen to ask her suggestion as tai the'•best place'to'•ga.
• •" Wonderful", said the .ha .voice. at the Other end of the...
pry.
line after she•had explained everything. '°Weare all going. •
to 'Seabeach for two Weeks tomorrow:. 'Tow • you' will be'

And. so Rita spent: the most enjoyable. •vacation she ever'.
had, thanks to ' her - call.' over, Long Distance..
