The Presidents cottage is on the sea-
ward side of Ocean avenue; sbouta mile
south ofthe nearest bosek The neigbbo1-
hood is occupied b7 handsomer structures
than those which are interspersed with the
hotels between the East End aad the
West End. The thoroughiare is broad,
hard, and smooth, but unshads@ ana
runs along blu4B aSout two hundred
yards from the beach. Each cottage
stands in a plot Of about two acres, and
midway between the avenTe and the
Ocean. Grants residence is rather less
in size than the average, and different i'm
architecture from any Of the rest. 1t IL
two and half stories high, and fills an
area of about forty feet square. Although
the architecture is plain, its appearances
is peculiar, mainly because of a mixture
of yellow and brown in the color. There
is an abundance Of verands. but, as is true
of all the residences so close to the beach,
an absence of outdoor shade. Crane

seranda- There he sits smokes and la

Washington Childs, A. NJ, the gTess
American poet, and to bis stable, which
is a structure in the style of his cottage,
in the corner of the lot close to the
avenue. He usually drives in an oppo~
site direction from the hotels, toward
Ocean Grove, which be has visited sew

nings over cards-poker being the game,
it is said.
Besides the Presidents family, the
household contains Mr.. and Mrs Sartoris,
and the new baby boy, son of Mrs.
Sartoris, formerly Miss Nellie Grant.
The little fellow is thirteen days old now,
and a "bouncer," if that means a fat.
healthy baby. A morning walk took
me past the Grant cottage yesterday, and
at the gateway was a nurse-maid with q
baby-carriage, in which lay the Presi~
dents grandson. The chubby little fell
low was trying to swallow one Of his
fists. as is the habit of reckless infants,
and was closely serutinizing its feet,
which were sticking out in sight. IL
seemed to have known nothing about feet
before that, and to be amazed by the
knowledge of their existence Women
hold that there really Is difference in
but l believe that the wisest parents
would only know their own, should an
accidental mixture Occur, by the color Of
, ribbons. eyes. and stockings This one
t was fat-cheeked, and had the usual biz
of nose floating in the middle Of his face
| His eyes were grayish blue. and roguish-
: ly wide open. Hair was scarce on his
head, what there was OF it being a yell
lowish fuz. Seriously considered, those
/ who are interested in the subject may
, think Of him as healthy, large, hand
some baby, with indications that he Is
going to look like his mother, except sha;
his hair and eyes will be like his fathers.
. On this occasion he was daintily dressed
in white, the lace trimming being worth,
by lady's estimate based on description,
: not less than two or three hundred dol
lars. He was in a rollicking good humor.
: kicking up his new-found feet and poking
his fist half out of sight in his mouth.
The sun was just high enough to slant
its rays into the carriage. makiHg shiny
spots on his clothes and bo.h arms, and
his wonderment was great at this expert.
: enee Mrs. Sartoris sat at window in
= the lower story Of the cottage, and
. watched her baby as il was trundled to
: and fro on she walk.
:. The nurse was middle-aged-woman.
e wearing a white cap such as are worn by
:. French Jonics. asked her if the baby
r, was we'll.
