This place is perfect Methodist beehive.
1t reminds me of the time when, in what
ever city or village / went, there was a
church that all the young folks called 1.-The
eel-pot," because it was always so crowded.
1t was always the Methodist church of the
place, and don't suppose there ever was
place of any considerable size that did not
have at least one church called by that
name. Well, this is the
EEL-PoT AMONG THE WATERING PLACES.
1t swarms with people as a fiy-catcher in
butchers shop SwarmS with flies. 1t is
so crowded that you have to elbow your
way along the board walk on the beach just
as you do in Fourteenth street on fine
afternoon when the women are all out
shopping. And it is Just the queereSt
place for doing as you please that l ever
ran across. If you want to walk around
the town in your stocking feet and with a
bathing suit on that leaves your arms bare
and your knee-bones below the edge of
your skirt there is no one to think strangely
of it. 1t is the easiest-going place that

around out of doors and gawks at the queer
costumes like child who sees a cOlored
person for the first time.

Just seen a girl in French bathing costume
going through the streets to the beach with
a novel, pug dog, paraSOl, hustle and
high-heeled subsequently, going to spend
the morning in the sand. No one can pos
sibly guess what I'll see next" To those
who wish TO know what is worn at break
fast, luncheon, dinner and in the evening
at summer resorts, L propose to give some
general hints on the subject rather than
particular directions. The toilet for
breakfast as in the city or elsewhere, must
depend upon how lady intends or pro-
poses to pass the morning, and whether it
is rainy, cloudy, fair, warm or cold weather.
If stroll after breakfast or tennis or GRO
quet is meditated, the usual walking dress
or tennis suit may be donned before conf
ing down to the breakfast room. This pre-

If there, not even tennis party at an
early hour will absolye you from the re-
CURED morning dress, provided you
intend to spend the time between
breakfast and luncheon indoors. If
out of doors, however, either walking
or driving, put on an outdoor costume

with your nat if you choose. If at less
pretentious, more homelike places follow
the same rule, modified by the circum-
stances and the general custom OF the other
guests. The afternoons, when not spent
in ones room, aren't considered the time
for dress display. No change need be made
until after OF o'clock. If, however. an
afternoon drive is taken, the frock chosen
for that occasion may be the same that you
will wear at dinner. That is to say, it may
be dressy carriage toilet. This, however,
is by no means arbitrary even at Saratoga.
A bonnet or sunshade, instead of a hat
and an umbrella, is generally sufficient
to give the afternoon dress touch to
the morning toilet, always provided that
the frock is not an indoor dress. Dinner
used to be the occasion for an excessive dis
play in dress at summer resorts. Now the
rule is not arbitrary, the rule being as much
honored in the breach as in the observance
with regard to appearing in very dressy
evening toilets. The younger women who
intend to dance or to be seen in the parIors
after dinner generally make their dresSiest
toilet for this meal. Those who propose to
seek the half light of the piazzas and the
ouieter sitting rooms and hooks frequented
by elderly and slow people. dress in the
usual costume of lady when she entertains
at dinner in her own house or dimes with a
friend in the city.
