gave them the use of the Arverne Hotel

young tyrants got possession right after
breakfast and held it until midnight.
They not only took the drawing-room. but
the whole ground foor-office, corridor
ard three miles of piazza, and made
everybody work.
Everything about Arverne was lovely;
the weather was perfect-brilliant sun
shine and cool breezes all afternoon,
beautiful moonlight and the music of the
mermaids all evening. The hotel was
crowded. nearly every cottage has
house party and the fair was the event
of the day.
Tle big colonial parlor was trimmed
with garlands and bunting and lined with
booths; the booths were stacked with
pretty things, which with the assistance
of beautiful women and lovely children,
begulled the money out of peoples pock-
cts. There was no resisting them; even
the nurse maids and nursery governesses
bought toys and candies. rushed Into the
"brcr pie" and had their fortunes told
for the babies sake.
The boothkeepers were as pretty as

The baby was In a comatose state,

Investigated the case, says that Scha-
cufsky has been neglecting his children
