that can find time to comply with NV
promise OF letter, there are SO many
distracting things on hand that almest
every minute is taken up.
The arrivals continue to increase. tents
nave gone up on every hand, and more
than two hundred pleasure seekers are
10 be seen every day on the beach. Mrs.
lumbar has come down and is now occu-
pylng her cottage, with Mrs. Mack and
MISS Ada Sargent as her guests. 1t is
doubtful If another trio has jollier time
than this party.
Nr, and Mrs. Joseph Dabney, M. J.
Cochran and family, Mrs. Perry and her
charming daughter Miss Maude are much
appreciated additions to the tenters; also
Geo. Weatherwax and Geo. Geer.
One of the most delightful things about
our summer resort is the air of Bohemi-
anlsm that prevades the place, and i'm
mediately takes hold of most corners :
they all come for good time and aban-
don themselves to those pursuits that
afford the most enjoyment. Everything
Is on the order of continuous picnic
all turning in and helping the ladies with
their household duties, digging CLAIMS for
the common stock, and gathering around
one, or perhaps, two camp fires in the
evening. The place presents almost at
tractive appearance at night--the fires
lighting up the faces of those around, and
throwing their wierd Pickering rays out
among the little trees The scene is
strangely beautiful, coupled with the free
dom tat prevails, it causes ones thoughts
to revert to the time when our ancestors
knew no other life. and wonder if there
are more pleasure in civilization than
was theirs.
j. B. Haynes cottage has been fin
ished and is good substantial building
with larg open fire place. The Wealth
erwax cottage is being hurriedly finished,
and will be occupied the latter part of
the week, much to the delight o. all-es-
pecially the young men.
Mrs. A. d. Wood, Notwithstanding her
large family, seems to have adopted the
omnibus motto as her own, and always
has room for one more" Last week she
entertained number of friends among
whom were Mrs. Haight and Miss Ora
ham, besides two or three young men
and her brothers. family from Kentucky.
p. G. Hussey came down again We'd
nesday in the Gertrune and since that
time yachting parties have been almost
daily occurrence. Thursday he took a
party out on the bar, which made one OF
the yong ladies so sick that sight OF the
water two day afterwards brought on a
relapse and forced her to take to bed for
several. Hours Saturday afternoon a
party composed of Misses Perry, Green
and Wood, Messrs. Hussey, Green and
Finch went up to Markham and spent
the night and part of thu next day at the
Croft's enjoying their lavish hospitality.
The Clan Mcdonald came down Sunday
bringing the band excursion, composed
OF more than ninety people; the Typhoon
and several smaller boats awelled this
number by more than hundred. Most
of these tried the excellent surf bathing
and to all appearances enjoyed the beau
ty of the place very much.
There is talk of many cottages being
built next summer. The demand for lots,
all those in the Walsh addition being dis
posed of, has caused Mr.. Richard Dabney
to have piece of land he owns short
distance below plated, which will be put
on the market before great while. This
will afford building sites for number 81
cottages and is said to be excellent1y
located, the growth Of grass and pines
coming down almost to the water edge.
| A number of people on the Sound have
purchased sites, and on the whole Cohas-
sett bids fair to rival Ilwaco another
season.
The summer girl is present in all her
glory. and, if appearances are any idea
tions, scalps are being taken at rate
that can but satisfy the morbid appetite
of the most hardened veteran OF the var
Of hearts. One of her most effective
weapons is the hammock, and with the
large number on hand she is invinclble;
then the strolls on the beach ty twilight
is an efficient aid. This is a place that
old bachelors, who imagine themselves
inyulnerable would better beware OF.
A large crowd is making preparations
to 20 on the Willapa ocross the bar to
the halibut banks with the Ocosta excur-
sion, being anxious to experience sea
sickness. So far as l have been able to
learn that is the only recreation promised.
