This instalment of 'Ripios...' accompanies a photograph and news report of a model from Melbourne wearing a bikini and a 'mantilla española', a lace shawl worn over the head and usually associated with religious occasions (and not with beach apparel).
The author [unnamed, probably the editor, Manuel Varela ] comments on La Crónica's first year of publication.
The author reflects on a grandfather's trunk which has travelled with him 'three times across the sea, and three times has returned to the quiet of the loft' [tres veces cruzo el mar, y otra tres ha vuelto al sosiego de la buharda.]
