Denver, ex- Senator TabOr's old partner in
the Little Pittsburg mine, A feminine
Long Branch cOrresp Ondent, who possibly
may have believed what she wrote, gave
this piece OF fiction to the world. The club
men declare its truthfullness, but have
found upon investigation no shadow Of sub
stantiality in it. Senator Tabor writes to
me that there is no jim Reschler. so far as
he Knows. a persistent search of hotel
registers at Long Branch reveals no such
name, trustworthy witness of the alleged
play. cannot be found, and the whole matter
was a cOncOctiOn intended to Offset George
Laws losses in public attention.
The girls at Long Branch average well to
the eye in dress and department. They are
not displaying themselves in the surf as
much as hitherto, and instances Of indecOr-
Gus bathing costumes have ecome scarce.
Equestrianism is their favorite sport. What
is called parasol Irritation is new indul-
gence, and it consists in holding their gay
sunshades thus or holding them So with
intricate meaninls for filtration in each
movement. A more or less Wsll-defned
code Of signal is In use, just as fans and
handkerchief have been employed in that
way. Dancing in the barn" is the seasons
terpsichorean innovation here as at other
watering places. It is a quite baIet-iike
departure in round dancing. and for dis
play Of grace or aWkWardness, as the case
may be, it has never been surpassed in
summer hotel parlOFss For the handles it
is to be said that they are truly sWeeter
than the girls in the matter of costumes.
They have taken to navy caps and white
flannel suits, with cOiOred sashes and can

approached it from the other side. There
was q time when the West End Hotel was
in Long Branch, but the prOprietors Sc
cured a pOstOf1ce and railway station here,
naming both West End. Later, John HOey
made his enormous investment in Holly
wood, an adjacent park. and by donating
the ground and edi1ce for new station he
has induced the railway people to call It
Hollywood and West End. He is now
pushing hard for separate pOstOft1ce to be
called Hollywood.
But have become too materialistic in
writing a letter from a frivolous watering
place. Even the heaviest dignity becomes
blithesome here. One of the most indus
triOus and enjoying walters in the Long
Branch parlOrs is a bald and bearded man
Of eighty, who takes pride as well as other
delight in bringing his style of dancing
right up to date. His name is William
Bryce, and he has made his half million in
Michigan lumber operations, but there is
nothing numbering in his Wsltzes. His
partners are the prettiest and liveliest of
the girls, and they seem more than willing
to couple themselves with him in the dance,
the reason presumably being that it con-
fers distinction upon them. A belle waltz
ing with a youthful beau is not singularity
here, and it does not command particular
attention, no matter how we'll it may be
done, but the sight Of December Bryce in
an August waltz with May is one which
holds the eyes of the spectators from start
to finish.

A question commonly discussed here is
whether the games at the two great club
houses are square. You would be sur
prised and amused by the partisanism,
arising sometimes to rancor, over this
seemingly iucOnsequential point. My own
impression is that the club DToprietOrs are
content, as they really ought to be, with
the regular percentage in their favor Still
the magnificence of the establishments and
the immense cost of their maintenance, to
say nothing Of the admittedly princely
profits, are to certainty paid for by the
visitors. That should be enough to deter
cape the almost inevitable expenses Of the
diversion. The club managers 10 at least
indulge in one periodical exploit of hum
buggery. Whenever an Unfortunately heavy
loss is sustained by guest, it is followed
by a purely fictitious instance Of heavy
winning by a mythical outsider. That
has happened every year or two
since these clubs we're opened. The
latest of these occurrences was last
month, when the recklessIy prOhigaUe
George Law lost over $50 600 in single
night at the Pennsylvania Club. and that
was followed within a few days by an alto
gether fanciful account of almost equal
winnings by Millionaire Jim Reschler, of

The breakfast table was spread; there
was the snowy cloth, the glistening

cover that was sure would reveal ham

the Misunderstanding crusty loaf, and 81
neat-handed maiden, without any fuss,

He looked at me, as interpreted it,

''Has she always been so e"

''the flower was bright aud vigorous

since then it has faded slowly till It
dropped as you see it now. 'Thy king

He said those last words in an almost
inaudible tone, but I caught two OF
three; and was able mentally to i'll the
rest.
