Thousands-A PitrsburG Girls Good
Tuste-A Philadelphia Beauty Saved
From Drowning.
ATLANTIC CITY, August 24.-Strangers
are coming by tens of thousands. Tonight
the city is a surging mass of humanity, and
tomorrow will mark the climax of the
season. Pittsburg and Western PenDsyl-
vania have been finely represented here all
through the month, and familiar faces are
more numerous here to-day than ever. Colo
mel Watt came in yesterday morning with
nearly 600 Pittsburgers, all of whom are
comfortably quartered at various hotels and
cottages. He reports that the excursion
business over the Pennsylvania road has
lready exceeded that of any two previous
years.
The social season is in full blast and the
women are all striving to out do each other in
gorgeousness of attire and striking originality
of costume. Money seems to be a secondary
consideration among the fair sex here, and the
sole aim and object of great many women ap-
pears to be to attract attention by their appear
ance and set the styles for their more conserva-
tive sisters. These extremes are not confined
to the women from any particular locality
however, but the Eastern girls appear more at
ease in '.loud" apparel than those who lead
the fashionable world west of the AlleghenleS
There is a healthy-looking, rosy-cheeked girl
from Lawrencevile who is probably the most
attractive girl on the beach this week. Her
bathing suit is a plain blue with white tape
border. Her black stockings are never encased
in any kind of a shoe or moccaSin, nor is her
head ever covered by anything save wealth of
chestnut brown HAIR, which floats in waves
over her shapely shoulders. She is the most
oarelessly dressed yet the most bewitching girl
on the sands. Nothing is false, nothing affect
ed. Her face and ngure are her fortune, and
did her more fasrdiOus sisters from the East
and West take pattern from her, health as well
as beauty would not be such a rarity among
them.
