The latest show at Atlantic City and
it is growing more popular every day,
is the garter show. 1t, too, takes place
on the beach, and every girl who
participates is not the possessor Of 9
pretty face. The requisite is a snowy
pair of garters and the semi-innoceni
mannerism which enables their owner
to exhibit them and yet not shock hel
own or other peoples modesty.
This garter show started about three
weeks ago, says a correspondent from
that place, in this way: One morning
there wandered up the beach a very
ordinary looking girl, both as to form
and features. She was dressed in
very ordinary bathing suit, and thu
gentleman with her was very ordin
airy looking sort of man. But the gin
had on a pair of garters that caugh
the eye of every woman on the sanc
between Tennessee and Marylan'
avenues. She did not make
very gaudy display Of them
By very shrewd device, o

length of the knickerbockers and tn
nature of the hosiery appendage. he

out sight of a pair of blue elastic wit
bow of ribbons, a gold buckle and
diamond, or what seem small ola
mond, in the centre of the buckle.

was completely lost.
From this incident, whether an accl
dent or pre- meditated design, the fad ha
grown. Every girl who has CARTE
buckles of more than ordinary beauty o
design-and some even of very ordinar
design-has seemingly been bent Of
showing them TO the world dul
ing bathing hour. The schems
aud pretty graceful actions som
Of the owners of these necessar
a6iuncts to the female toilet adopt Z
show their possession are a study.
The favorite one is that Of pulling u
the stocking, the Minnie Palmer an
Lotta act which has become threaC
bare joke in soubrette circles. A yOun
lady, demure as a gray nun, will wal

wet lead-colored sand, and stoop TO Fl
her stocking. In an instant, by th'
i very commonplace act, she will reveal
i circle of red, yellow or blue above Il
kneecap on whose front flashes q desig
