PINEY POINT, Nd. July Is
"when the breezes blow" VIC do not $50
below" but sit out under the trees and enjoy
them. Excepting few hours each day when
the sun sent down straight rays lately the
winds have been favorable for comfort and
evidently favorable for this resort. as ..cot
room only" has been the response OF Landlord
Williams as he smilngly welcomed the mid
night arrivals. Those who are fixed here are
nicely fixed. Many of the guests who never
before gave birth to q thought spend many
moments in thinking, fact attributable to the
ever ready diet OF fish. oysters and crabs The
festive mosquito has been conspicuous by his
absence so far, and consequently many OF the
guests are DISAPPOINTED. Children are as
numerous as mosquitoes were in o!den times.
Delaware has contributed cargo of lovely
girls this week. The yacht Major Allen from
seaford brought them, and if the population
OF that place is but 2,50o by the last census it
sends it's nine bellies to make glad this pretty
place. The yacht is owned by Mr. WIN. Ross
and the party is chaperoned by Mrs. Duvall,
who watches with one eye shut over Misses
Lena Wilson, Mary Duvali, May Wright Sue
Darbee. Hattie Darbee, May sharp and Nellie
Baker. Best DIES the girls and Mr. Ross. Messrs.
Il. Lee Wright Frank ShipIey, Elmer Hersey.
J. w. Wilson, f. c. Scott and Hugh Martin need
bit of motherly surveillance. 1t will be
greatly regretted when that yarht steams away.
The affairs of the nation and the District
government are discussed by number of old
citizens of Washington who form a sort of
cotcrie every morning under the spreading
pines. where they assemble TO absorb the ozone
strongly impregnated with mint. Many Of
these veterans are ANIMALS and they dr. lift of
into "reminiscences of the point One said he

him when he was a summer visitor here. The
cottage at the end of the line apart from the
others was built for and occupied by the then
President. That end was called the Vanity
Fair" and since then that modest structure has
been known as the Presidential cottage. 1t
is now occupied by Mrs. Hay and called Cas-
tie Content" Another remembered that at
had been used during several seasons as q
church. i'll which divine service had been held.
Another remembered that it had been haunted
and that old Parker's ghost nightly held revel
there. But the pcacefulness of that spot. say
those who know. is only disturbed by the songs
of birds. the hum of the horsehy and the nib
bling of solitary little mouse.
Fishing is the fascinating sport here. Bfr.
Lewis Turner-the brother of Ross" the
artist-and his pretty bride made the satisfac-
tory catch one morning of 800 Ash in two hours
Spots, trout and several sheephead made up
the return. The bride must have been the at
traction.
The bathing hour is all the time. The
northern resorts may continue to boast about
the beauties of the beach, but. candidiy, can
not hold candle to our Washington girls.
Mr.. William Carl Brown came here with his
little boy Willie. who had been stricke IN with
the ''chorea," a paralysis of the power of loco

that he has been able to walk alone for several
hundred feet.
