"etitn anu Deauty, representing the well
known leaders of the best society i'll New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington. They come for health rest,
recreation, or on pleasure bent; for, Lent
though it may be, one is not supposed to en-
tirely forswcar all amusement. Surely not
y hop every week, parties, even an occasional
german, receptions, teas, etc, with Il dis
Greet, distinctly unmpcachablc game of
cards for the more staid patrons.
CONVENIENCE AND COMFORT.
Tho hotels are numerous and thoroughly
well equipped with every modern convenience
and comfort. Ono of tho most attractive
features about the place is the board walk
which extends along the waters c,l e for
three miles and half This ocean boulevard
fairly divides honors with the magnificent
beach, which has become famous as one of
the finest on the Atlantic coast On tho
smooth, shining sands, made firm and hard
by the pressure of the waves, whether walk
Ing, riding, driving or sitting still, ono secs
an endless, evcrchanging panorama of human
life. Up and down, laughing, talking, merry
or sad, ageand youth, weakness and strength,
on they go, like the ebb and flow of the tils
at their feet. What a study! Here GROUP
of invalids, tempted out of doors by the clear,
sapphire sky, which sees it's own rare beauty
reflected in tho glitterng blue depths below;
the bright warmth of golden sunshine, tho
pure, fresh, bracing breeze that seems to
bring vigor and hope on its fragrant breath.
New life seems to creep into their veins, Il
faint color comes to the fair cheeks us they
stroll along and listen to tho chant of tho
waves.
There, II couple i'll whom health, strength
and happiness seem personificd, they too, arc
Watching the bright, sun kissed waters; but
if the expression of his face means nrght tho
color on her cheek is not wholly due to tho
crisp breeze that is rutiling tho dainty trcsses
of her dark hair, and tho wild waves arc
'eling n very sweet story-"u story new as
Iaua htcr; old as tears" A little further on
comes party of laughing, happy children
For them there is no eternal note of satl-
.;.>e' in the song of ll" sea They shout
With ei"e ;.t the merry, nlnd frolics of tho
huge, foam crest, ! waves. They run and
junil, and play with hraIi is rs light rs tho
spray that ralesscs their bright, innocent
faces, and know naughi OF the care ana
sorrow which have left their mark on many
of the moving, changrtu! throng.
DHoLL LOOKING; Boorns.
Along the board walk ;,rc pnvilions, or sun
parlors, where one may enjoy the warmth
and brightness without being actually ex-
posed to the outside air, and from whose
sllcltcring windows the magnificent and fns-
cinating spectacle of II storm may be safely
and comfortably witnessed There are ,lrol
looking booths or bazanrs, ut which every
thing that dwclls in earth, air or sky may bo
procured. Things, catable, drinkrblc, wear
able, portahlc-all that it has entered into
the mind of man to concciqo and invcnt-arc
here in startling array Ono can hnvc eigh-
teen tintypcs, three shaves and u dinner for
fifteen cents.
Atlantic City believes in the adiuration
which bids us ''bc all things to all men"
There is variety enough in the lifo here to
suit each and all For the votaries of fashion
and pleasure. there is gaycty Of all sorts. For
the thoughtful student, or tho seeker after
rest and quiet, surely there cannot be Il moro
c'uilgcnial spot than this, where ono is face to
face with tine grundcst mightiest of natures ell
clnents And health has already established
beyond dispute her claim to having set the seal
of her own regeneration upon the city by tho
sea. Thus, well or i'll, merry or sad, grave
or gay, young OF old, this favored spot hath
charms for all.
And what is the secret of the mysterious,
powerful fascination of the sea. Ono thinks
of the lines written about tho woman whose
fame for beauty and witching charms has
come down through centuries, and will ring
on through ages yet to come-'age cannot
withcr, norcllstom stale her infinite variety
The last ten words seem to strike the key
note, for surely to nothing else OH this fair
earth can they be more appropriately APP
piled.
Like willful woman, the sen has its
moods, changing and titful Us the wind that
rulIlcs its calm, blue depths. Atlantic City
