ager BarmOre-Incidents of the
Week at Seaside Resorts.

The season ait THE seaside MAY now be
said TO be at Its height. Every cottage
is occupied and the hotels are sleeping
their guests on cots. lt is the vacation
time of the business men and with their
famlies they have sought the beautiful
resorts along oregonls seashore, where
the cool ocean breeze, natural parks and
hills afIord every means of recuperating
MANS worn out forces.
Everybody seamed to be in the best of
spirits and thoroughly enjoying their
summer outing. Surf bathing is naturally
the chief attraction with the majority
OF the visitors, and hundreds are on the
beach at every turn of 1.-THE tide. There
are many handsome costumes this sea-
son, particularly among the ladies. Tile
modest shades but handsome ma
terialis and nobby styles enlivsn the hour
Tor those who are content to be onlook-
ers. The l1Utle ones thoroughly enjoy. in
childish abandon, their liberty on the
sands, and in bare feet, with clothes
tucked up they paddle in THE waters
edge or build sand houses to see them
washed uway by THE incoming tides. The
more sober parents ard chaperons doubt
less recall their own childish frolics and
present pleasures are NOT unmixed with
regretful sigh THAT the sterner realities
OF Ite only permit a few days of free
dom from care. But all are happy, jolly
and content to let the bright summer
Gays glide by, ore like another, only
rrauSht with 1.-THE pleasures of t1e
moment.
Sports of all kinds are devised for the
hours mot occupied in rest or ait the
beach and many pleasant hours are thus
