A paragraph is always in order about
the prevailing bathing suit at Long
Branch, as any big seaside resort. There
is 40 bathing At the old Long Branch,
because there is no beach. Neptune
surges right up 10 the bluff and all the
surf he carries dashes itself into foam
high up on the cliffs. But at the West
End and Eloeron the bathing Is I'M
usually good. The popular bathing
suit that the ladies wear is made of
jersey cloth, cut high in the neck and
with short sleeves. The skirt is short,
and reaches tribe below the knees.
Most of them are made OF blue cloth,
with stockings TO match. Some OF the
younger girls, who would rather get
tanned and take their chances OF
freckles, have their bathing suits low
in the neck.
1t would be q serious blunder 10 end
letter ot gossipy nature about Long
Branch, new and old, without referring
70 branch of society that has been
one of the most prominent and per-
inanent in its fidelity to this resort.
The theatrical profession has formed
part and parcel of Long Branch in all
its stages of renOwn and decline for
over a quarter of q century. No other
summer home has har bored so many of
the men aad women whose lives are
spent in amusing and entertaining the
public. list OF the sojourners here
in the years gone by would include
nearly every actor and actress OF note
since the close of the civil war. Many
ot them have occupied cottages and all
Of them have been familiar figures on
the drives and promensdes. Lester
Wallack was one OF the Thespian
pioneers of the Branch aud his pictur-
esque cottage, which he called THE Hut"
still stands near the West End Hotel,
half hidden by the trees, and il an
object OF ihterest because of the dra-
matte associations that cluster around

Along with AL the other phases of
I society ths theatrical profession has
I fallen off in its patronage of this re-
sort, but this year finds a goodly
number OF footlight favoritcs sojouru-
ing here. Miss Julia Marlowe il one OF

actress, whose future is believed TO bs
