BEACH.

Monica Yesterday-Those Who Visited
the Sea Shore.

The day at Redondo beach was simply

impudence of the goober vender and the
fiend in resurrected blazer who sang
all day, "Where did you get that hat?"
with voice like an antiquated parrot.

new hotel until long after dinner-time,
and many were the exclamations
of delight and admiration from

room to room by the courteous attend
ants. The dining-room at lunch time
held large number of transients in ad-
dition to the very respectable army of
regular patrons of the institution.

The crowd turned from the great hotel
to the bathing beach, where they were
soon disporting themselves in the waves
in the variegated attire that is con-
sidered "the thing" for sea bathing.
The air was balmy, the sea calm and
the temperature of the water ''just
right" The bathers went into the
water. but remained there so long it
seemed as # they intended to soften the
loud colors of the bathing suits by soak
ing them for day or two, when, sud-
denly, young lady who had been
swimming gracefully out near the
RATS turned and commenced tc
make her way frantically shore
ward and simultaneous cry of
Sharks !" arose from several onlookers
There was wild scramble for the shore
and then number of playful porpoises
appeared just outside the ropes and dis
played their aquatic accomplishments
for the benefit OF the assembled multi
tude. The ''sharks" having proven sc
harmless, the bathers returned to theil
pastime and remained, many of them
until warning whistle from the loco
motive gave notice that it was nearl,
train time.
The amateur fisherman was out il
great force. He pervaded the pier will
every imaginable style of tackle, and
monopolized all the dangerous spots he
could find along the string pieces of the
wharf wharf. Early in the afternoon al
unfortunate boy had bite-or though
so--and in his excitement fell off int,
the water. After short interva
he rose to the surface AM
at once emitted series 0
frightful yells. Don't be frightenep,
chorused dozen men on the pier
"we'll save you" "Save your grand
mother!" spluttered the kid excitedly
while he seemed to be trying to get hi
hand in his pocket. II can swim,
reckon, but I've caught two of those
fellers' hooks in my leg" He disap
peared under water again for a moment
then came to the surface and swan OF
sulkily to the stairs, refusing the rope
and other aids offered. Shortly afte
the fishers in the vicinity on hauling VI
their lines discovered that they ha1
been Abbreviated by several feet, thes
particular lines having been the one
encountered by the boy in his fall.
