The fashion of men locking their own
arm behind a woman IS elbow and
clutching fast to her forearm is not
peculiar to America. An English
woman writes to a London journal:
MAN is rapidly ceasing to be the gal
liant defender Of our sex. Once upon
time we looked up to him and rested
upon his arm. Now, alas! the tables
are turned. In the present day he idly
takes our arm, while we are obliged to
take his part and our own as we'll. -

in time to be opened for next season.
Thei owners will be an organized COM
pany of Hebrews, and the new venture
will express their resentment at the
resort this summer. The wife of Joseph
Davis Of Orange, who does not look like
a Hebrew, engaged rooms at the Bruins
wick for the season. She had been
shown to her rooms, but the proprietor,
having learned her nationality, told her
she could not remain for the summer.
The matter came to the attention of a
number of influential friends of Mr..
Davis who were staying at the beach,
and at a dinner party one evening
shortly afterward the suggestion was
made that they build mammoth hotel
there for none but fiTst-class people,
Jews and Gentiles, and give the present
of Ocean Beach some lively
for that class Of trade The |
suggestion was promptly acted upon,
and the preliminary arrangements there |
for are already well under way. The |
option of an admirable site right in the |
center of the beach has been secured, |
and there is every prospect that a costly
hotel will be built by next summer.
The project will not lack financial sup
port as there is a capital of two or three |
million dollars behind it.
