was, by handmade stays.

and very dignified cOlored gentleman,
who proceeded to post the following bull

"The President and some of the mem
bers of his family will take a surf bath
at the Continental House this afternoon
at four"
In the Olden time thousands of tickle
Parisians used to cOngregate in front of
the Tuileries to see Louis XVI eat his
breakfast on the balcony and clip off the
end of an egg with a right royal grace,
so why should not the citizens of this
great and glorious republic gather on the
sands of Jersey to see its worthy and re-
spectacle chief magistrate enjoy a dip in
the brine? It's the price of greatness not
to be able to do anything without
having somebody see you do it. The

from the metropolis; in reality it's six.
I reached the breakfast room at 9, Not
a soul to be seen. This is due to the
Quaker influence of the City Of BrOtherly
Love just across the little State. It's
wicked to lie abed in Philadelphia later
than anyway. The pOmpOus cOlOred
gentleman in charge handed me a bill of
fare. I unrOlled it. 1t was exactly four
feet long. I began to read, forgot all
about breakfast, so charmed was I with
the literary style of that bill Of fare,
Eleven O'Clock Came-still reading.
After breakfast I strOlIed down on the
beach to take a look at the bathers.
Most of the ladies wore the hideOus
straw hat Of twenty-five years ago, tied
down over their faces, so that you might
not see how ashamed Of themselves they
were. But here and there I saw
neatly put up girl in a fashionable bath
ing suit, and the sight was quite refresh
ing. She looked like d trout among bull
pOuts and I watched her with great
deal Of satisfaction as She flashed her
pretty white arms in the sunshine. Near
me were seated a mother and daughter,
from way down in Pennsylvania. Mani
testify, the girl had never seen men and
women bathing in the surf until then.
1t was worth the price of the ticket to
watch that country girl and her old
mother. The old lady controlled her

only wonder to me is that the crowd
didn't cheer Mr., Harrison when he made
his appearance clad in a blUe-fanneI
bathing suit. The fact of the matter is,
however, he didn't look very impressive
The bathing suit didn't seem to fit him.
1t does seem as if clothes never fit some
men. I think it's in the man, however,
that the trouble lies. The heir apparent
was quite visible as the sun ricocheted
on his polished poll At first the crowd
showed signs Of being halfway decent
and kept its distance, but its enthusiasm
got the better of it, and step by step it
crowded down to the waters edge. The
inevitable and ubiquitous officeseeker
was on hand, and I could see by the cold
glitter Of his steel-gray eye and the rose
ate hue Of his Roman nose that he
meant business. He hardly waited for
the President to shake the salt water
from his beard when he swung his hat
and shouted in a voice that seemed to me
