To-day's incursion is one of the annually
recurring proofs that Asbury Park is the
peoples watering place. Those who come
here for show find, after little, that it
counts for nothing. No place is freer from
the imposing conyentionalities of fashion,
and no lady is in danger here of being
ostracised if she chances to wear the same
wrap at supper for two successive evenings.
The board rates are correspondingly rea-
sonable, and men of very moderate in
comes find it possible to give their families
little breathing spell here without being
threatened with bankruptcy for the rest of
the year. , They'll coop you up in closets
for bedrooms, but you are here for the
outdoor attractions, and will gladly suffer
the inconvenience tbiss entails. They'll
feed you well, and won't-possibly because
they can't-restrict you in the matter of
sea room, which is, after all, the great fea-
ture of life down here.
Everybody thirsts for the sea bath, and
everybody gets it without much regard for
appearances here 1t is not an unusual

ten of the wild revelry and indecorous
displays at the seashore. but much of 1t is
unduly exaggerated. Your correspondent
has never been able to discover immodesty
disporting itself upon the sands to any
alarming extent. The ladies nearly all
battle in modest dark flannel suits, with
long heavy stocking and as fully dressed as
the most rigid taste could require. Of
course there are some exceptions to this
general rule, but they are numbered among
the sensations, which do good part in
making the sometimes monotonous life
bearable. While all costumes are cut
rather less decollete this year than form
erly, there are still some whose trousers
are short enough to show shapely limbs
encased in well-ftting stockings. For
ladies who aim to be swimmers the old
fashioned bathing suits are giving way to
some extent as being too cumbersome, and
it may be that in time we shall come still
nearer the French style, which covers its
wearer just as little as possible for decency.
The French women who wear these scanty
suits, however, have always an attendant
waiting on the beach with long wrap in
which to envelope themselves as they come
out of the water. It is remarked that
few ladies this season wear no stockings,
leaving the foot and the leg bare below the
short skirt. ..Wny on earth do they do it 1?

the water, and the costume that she wears
is known as the surf dress. This style is
very captivating. The skirt-belts are worn
moderately flowing, and if the wearer
wishes to battle it requires not little skill
to keep them dry. The panier is large and
richly futed, and the suit is accompanied
by parasol or small umbrella, making the

to desert a young gentleman for another

On these occasions the unfortunate youth
is jeered by his companions, while the
heartless Miss generally goes off with q

mences with animation, and amid childish
laughter all the variously .colored legs are
set in motion.
These are some of the features of life at
the sea-shore resorts. Nearly every foot of
desirable, sandy beach along the whole
coast is so utilized that there is scarcely a
spot for those who love the sea for itself
alone to go and enjoy it without accompa-
nying features. Hence ssthe seashore, as
we speak of it, at this season is not the
place to go to sshold communion with
nature" if that is what one desires. It was

the morning are of calico, while dainty
dresses for afternoon are of lawn, trimmed
with lace. Theindications are that dancing
is not going to be the popular source Of
amusement this season as it has in
the past. At present it is largely
given up to the children. As soon
as the musicians have taken their places
in the evening the children assemble
in the big parlor. The young ladies wear
no skirts to speak of, and the young gem
tlemen's trousers are the most insignificant
part of their attire. They are chiefly gor-

A Bird's-Eye View Of the Earth.

If we imagine an observer emplating the
earth from a convenient distance in space. and
scrutnizing its features it rolls before him. we
may suppose him to be struck with the fact that
eleven-sixteenths of its surface is covered with
water, and that the land is SO unequaily distrib-
uted that from one point of view he would
see a hemisphere almost exclusively oceanic
while nearly the whole OF the dry land
Is gathered in the opposite hemisphere
he might observe that the great oceanic
area OF the Pacific and Antarctic oceans
Is dotted with islahds-like Il shallow pooi with
stones rising above its suriace-;ls ii its general
depth were small In comparison with its area
de might also notice that mass belt of land
surrounds each pole, and that the northern
ring sends of to the southwark three vast
tongues OF land and vi mountain chains, termi-
Africa and Australia toward which feeDler and
tnsular processes are given off by the Antarctic
continental mass. This, as some geographers
have observed, gives u rudely three-ribbeu as
pect OF the eartn, though two Or three ribs are
crowded together and form the Europ.As sian
mass or double continent while the third is
Isolated in the singe ecOntinent OF America. He
might also observe that the northern grdle Is
cut across, SO that the Atlantic opens by u wide
space into the Arctic sea- while the Pacific is
contracted toward the north, but continent
with the Antarctic ocean. The Atlantic is also
relatively deeper and less cumuered with
islands tnan the Pacific, which has the higher
ridge near its shores, constituting what some
visitors to the Pacific coast of America have not
inaptly called the "back OF the world" while
the wider slopes lace the narrower ocean, in to
which. Tor this reason, the greater part Of the
drainage OF the land is poured.
