patriotic.
In the evening there were hops at

a month at the Atlantic Hotel, Ocean
| Grove, are receiving a number of pres
ents. intended as tokens of sympathy,
from different people here. Yester-
day each of them was presented with
an elegant vase and bunch of flowers.
SPRING LAKE.
When ladies in the winter get talk
ing of their summer jaunts, and
| Spring Lake is mentioned, they are
sure to ask each other if they have
ever been to that wonderful shop
there where the man has all
| those ~curiosities and beautiful bric-a-
brac collected from all over the world.
| Why, they say people go to see it
from all over the United States. Then
they ask each other if they have
really ever seen such lovely rooms as
are in the Essex and Sussex cottages.
1t is said that with the exception pos
sibly of one house at Atlantic City
there is nothing like it in the way of a
hotel.
The dining rooms have panelled
walls and one huge brick open fire
place on one side. On these panels
are hung bamboo cabinets filed with
the choicest specimens of bric-a-brac,
and quantities of the most exquisitely
painted egg shell china in daily use.
Over the fireplace, hung on tiny
golden hooks, are all the ornamental
cups, thin as waters, also constantly
used. 1t is required here of every
waiter to replace all of the china after
