so befuddled that you won't know enough

THE HOME OF Mrs. q. S. GRANT.

THE HOME OF MRS. q. S. GRANT.
Gen. Grants cottage was grand place
in those days, and now it is very humble
little home that ShrinkS modeStly behind
the only trees on the fashionable boulevard,
as il. it was made shy by the costliness and
grandness of the big places that the mer-
chant princes of the city have built in a
double row along the stately avenue. But
if the widows resting-place has lost its
grandeur it has gained better quality, for
it seems the most homelike and coy place
of all. and the cluster of trees in front of
the lawn gives it picturesqueness lacking
elsewhere in the neighborhood.
Her next door neighbor, Mr.. George W.
Childs A. NJ, is an old and tried friend of
hers. His cottage is the least attractive
in its exterior of any at Long Branch. II
is surprisingly plain, even though an at
tempt to relieve the angularity and SIM
plicity of its outlines has been made by
burdening its piazzas with a verita BILE
screen of plant foliage and an auxiliary
display of big red pots with little green
| flowers in them. Its interior, however, is
said to be magnifcently appointed Mr..
Childs lives very quietly here except on
| Sundays, when he busies himself as an
usher and plate bearer at the little Church
of St. James down the beach.
WHERE BEAUTY BATTLES.
Nothing at Long Branch is, or ever was,
any more exclusive or giIt-edged than the
society at the Hollywood hotel and cot
tages in which Mr.. John Hoey is so largely
interested. The establishment consists in
| fourteen or fifteen cottages. and little

more cottages. A notable bevy of uptown

stunning teams, battle in artistic costumes.

and shapely forms, invest this little knot OF
summer houses with beauty, vivacity.
and ever so much merriment. The
Hollywood bath-house is the most
stylish and the most complete
bathing estab lishment On the Atlantic
coast. 1t is two-story pavilion that juts
out from the bluff like pier just below the
West End cottages. At the end of each
story there is all open piazza looking down
upon the beach and out upon the ocean.
The furniture in these lookouts is very
peculiar. 1t is all either OF cane work OF

the air is a special brand of atmosphere
apparently owned by the hotel-keepers and
let loose all summer with sufficient prodi
gality to keep flags straight and stiff, the
ladies' dresses fluttering, the spray flying,
and the bed blankets in constant demand.
Cottage life has worked mighty change
in the place since that familiar and very
rapid period in its history when Geo. W.
Childs, A. NJ, exCollector Murphy, and
the Messrs Brown were instrumental in
bringing about the presentation of cottage
to the hero Grant in order to attract fashion
and attention to the southern end of the
beach. Long Branch was mile and
quarter long at that time, and had no more
depth than that of the line Of hotels that
fringed the bluff. Now it is five miles long,
and two and even three rows of hotels and
dwellings in denth

perfection of her loneliness. Rid of the
sand and salt of the beach she steps into
the next room upon floor covered with
Brussels and Turkish rug or two, with a
great mirror in front Of her, and a bureau
and hanging shelves by her side, while the
neyer-ceasing breeze and the sunshine steal
in through the latticed window overhead
and make glad her existence.
Brushes, and combs, and towels, and
cream, and powder-putfs, and cologne, and

command, while her male admirer may puff
his cigaret or consult his electrifying flask
in his little retiring-room. 1t is even limited
that later on, when the rush of dog-days
fills the Hollywood cottages with summer
loungers, there will be cook, and butler,
and cold luncheon at the bath-house.
The stylish private bath dresses at the
HOLLYWOOD are of slightly timer material
and vastly better fit than anywhere else on
that beach. In fact, their fit varies-they
appear to be made to order before they are
wet, and tailor-made afterward.
One of the prettiest suits was seen by our
artist under the gaze of two very fashion
able young men, who 'never battle, you
know, because nobody in London uses any
thing but tub, don't you know" 1t was
a suit that must have made the young blue
fish just venturing at sea very anxious to
ask their parents who made it and what il
cost, it was so very pretty-a waist and
short skirt of thin flannel. striped broadly
in red and white, and with suggestion, OF
rather two suggestions of pantalets of the
same stuff just appearing at the edge of the
skirt. They don't wear the pantalets SO
long anywhere at Long Branch as they dc

was as wholly at her ease in the presence of
her admirers as if her skirt reached heI
heels.

Bathers are very decorous here, even
down at the iron pier, where the excursion
lists cluster and try to wash away all recol-

no mauling and frolicking such as was the
peculiar feature of every sociable Atlantic
city. At Long Branch that feature is de-
layed until nightfall, when it takes place on
the bluff and in the summer houses. The
regulation suits dealt out by the bath-house
keepers are plain blue flannel shirts and
skirts and breeches usually wholly un-
adorned.
