Mrs. Angeline Aliens
Dresses Turn the Day
Into a Crazy Quilt.
From the Neaarh Standard.


Mrs. Augeline Allan, a Newark guest
at the Lafavetts Hotel. Asbary Park, Is
ACKNOWLEDGED by all who have ssea her
to be Que of the most stylish women in
Asbury Park. She ma very light hair.
quite curly. and is very STACEY III appear
ance. Yesterday. between TIVE I've and
one O'Clock. she had an experie nee on the
board walk that made her the focal poiat
Of :. 900 pairs of curious eyes aud resulted
in defeating her idea that she could play
tn e "Black Crookn at Asbury Park.
NJ rs Allen came from her hotel to the
be ach clad iu a bathing suit that was
abb teFiated all around. 1t was cut very
low and very high. Around her neck shs
wure Il gold CHAIN. On her he id was u
fashionable Leghorn straw. Mrs. Allen
woreStighus that set off her shapefy figure
after tho style Of cigarette pictures. She
hadn't been on the sidewalk a minute
When she was surrounded by IL group of
u hundred. persons She reuiized that she
was au object OF amusement and made u
break for Fourth avenue. The crowi
followed on behind. When Officer Hulick
esp.ed her there were 1900 persons tag
ging after her. Inc officer escorted her
to the Photograph gallery in the rear OF
Hotel Brunswick, where she put on a
skirt winch she had left Their. before sne
came on the board walk. A carriage was
procured and the woman asked TO be
taken to q hotel. At Main street the
woman left the hack aud took an electric
car for her home.
Mrs. Allen WAS seen pY a Standard re-
porter after the affair and sue said that
her bathing costume was all riQat.
Il had never worn IL BEFORE she ex-
planned, but at Narragansett Pier, Bar
HarbOr aud ulher fashionable watering
places where | have been, such TUFTS are
very common. l went to tue photograph
gallery to puss. but / became SO nervous
while there that l daciued to wait until q
later day. Then | started for the Ooard-
walk" Mrs. Allen attributed the gath
ering OF such a large crowd about her to
the fact that the suit was an attractiy e
one III color.
The day that Mrs. Angelina Allen
made such q sensation on the beach ut
Asbury Park, a local paper had to say
about herr
"a signature ON the Lafayette Hotels
registrar Is that of Mrs. Angelina Allen
of Newark. The Lafayette register is
not t, blame. as Mrs. Allen Inougnt-
TullT paid her board for n week in adj
vance,, consequently she is a fixture.
Prior to her arrival at the LAFAYETTE.
she spent a modest. unassuming week at
the Brunswick. All along Mrs. Allen
has conferred all eyes upon her petits
form and not unaJtractive features.
She is o blonde of pronounced
type, and wears a variety of costumes
that turns the day iuto u crazy quilt and
bewilIers the eye with a maze of color.
Tuesday she assumed the widows weeds,
and d becoming garb IL was. By the way
she is a bona fite widow. Yesterday
morning she wore white six: in the af-
ternoon she started the promenade by q
stylish creation of lavender with all the
harmonious accomplishments of gloves,
shoes aud umbrella. Last night she APP
preached the climax by donuing d dotted
silk cut SO low that people failed to see
the top of IL. Her theoaJ was swathed in
an immense feather boa which compen-
stated for d lack Of material in the
~Gress.n
In speaking of the bathing sRit the
paper says:-The wearer haa as much
uGdisguised scorn Tor draperY as Diana.
Gcdiva, clothed in her flowing locks,
could scarcely have been more simply
~upadorhed. The bodice was cut only
fairly low, while the skirt WAS cut quite
fairly high. 1t was only q partial effort
to make both ends meet. The stuff
would have been an improvement on an
election transparency. Ltgut, wonder
fully light blue. it showed up interest
1ngly. The snnpely neither limbs were
encased III q pair of blue and black silk
tights. Pantalsttes were not included in
the outht. II the suit had ever got wet, it
and the weurer would have been AS hard
to separate is postage stamps on a sticky
day."
