On CoNEY ISLAND BEACH, July S.-The
regular New York woman who sees every
thing there is to see begins the summer
days with a visit to Coney Island. Now,
If she is the type given over to languish-
ing in her gowns and thinking of the
injury done them by their being mussed
or having splash of sea water thrown
upon them she will sit on the veranda of
one of the porches Of the large hotels and
know no more about Coney Island when she
comes away than she did when she went
there. If, however, she is wise and inter
ested in life, she will wear plain cotton
froek, simple straw hat and enjoy the
delights of the island from beginning to
end
