Ocean House, Aug. Is, 1851.
Once more I address you from this
emporium o! Fashion. The scene here,
on Saturday morning, when the Daily
Neps arrived, was truly an enliyening
one. Most OF the ladies were up and
dressed earlier than usual, and the pleas
ant little excitement which was pictured
in their pretty faces plainly indicated
that they were anticipating something
moro than one Of Wcaver's good break
tasts. Even the gentlemen who were
up late the night before, and who are
not usually down until after 8, when
hey have been enjoying n pleasant
time at the Restaurant. made their mp.
pearance in good season. BY s o'clock,
ifyou had looked in upon the breakfast
tables, into The Saloon or along tie hall,
you would have seen the ladies and gen.
temen dcvcuring the Zephyr, with evil
den, delight. And more, could you have
peeped into some lew Of the rooms, !
am informed by the ladies. you would
have beheid several Of the fair ones,
still lying on their downy couches with
their hair beautifully dishevel led abou
their nccks, inten,iy perusing the Neus
and enjoying the dellnsations OF beauty,
character and intellect as they ure por-
trayed in Zcphyrs. These romantic
scenes, however, were not for all eyes,
although the narration Of the tact is
very proper for all ears.
The fashionable season is now at its
height, and things will remain about as
they are for some three weeks to come.
We arc having very gay times here at
the Ocean, especially at evening F; not
only the guests of the House assemble
in the splendid Saloon, but those from
other ho,els, the cottages, &c, ire
Qucntly visit us, and these re-unions are
very delightful. One is not only meet
ing old and familiar friends, who have
endured the storms and trials Of life for
many years,-but also making many
new and very agreeable ncquaintances.
