OF the equipAges and the dress and
style OF the occupants Of the turnOuts
that used TO crowd the ocean drive
along the bluE every afternoon are
gone There Is 40 Disgusting that fact
The old visitor 81 the Branch misses
the excitement that made one of the
old-tims afternoons picture of beauty
wealth and fashion
And the former faces have likewise
departed. They are not dead, and
many Of them are just as pretty and
piquant as ever, bat Newport. Saratoga
and the CGtskills claim them, or IL
they do occasionally sniff the salt air
OF the JERSEY shore. it is from some
point much further down the coast.
Long Branch is no longer the summer
center OF fashion The faithful
chronicler must print the cold
fact, unpleasant as the narration
may b. that the products Of Worth
and Redfern and the results Of the skill
OF the English tailor are not to be
found TO any noticeable extent down
here. The youns portion of society
seek some other soiourning place in
order 20 exhibit the latest fads for
which they are responsible. The
change may be accounted for in several
ways bit IL is always thankless task

Some figure in tas calculation, bat
whatever the CO are. the result Il
certain. Long ranch has lost is
popularity. j aion and frivolity
have taken thu quarters
Yet 10 must n. os taken for granted
that there Is ue.aing left. The new
Long Branch has great deal TO com
mend itself 20 the sensible seeker after
recreation, even if society does no,

There is something decidedly substan-
