ATLANTIC CITY, August 16-During
the warm spell of the last week, while the
residents of the city suffered and smoth-
cred from the heat of the sun and the
humidity of the atmosphere, the visitor
to this resort enjoyed the greatest COM
fort in a climate where the sun may be
warm. but the cooling breeze which is
always blowing from old ocean tempers
his rays sufficiently to permit of any out
door amusement or pastime without any
undue inconvenience.
The sojourners here have settled down
to the full enjoyment of their summer
outing and are beginning to look for other
ard more recreative pastime than the hop
and euchre parties, which, for the time,
were patronlzed to the exclusion of all
others. OF course cards and dancing have
their devotees, who are never inconsistent
in the pursuit of their particular pleasure
and they still have many opportunities
nightly to yield to temptation. But re-
action has set in among the great ma jor-
lty, and for the last week it has been no
strange sight to see ball room half-full
or a game in progress with many vacant
chairs, where before it was a crush in the
one and demand for hands in the other.
The oaiety of 4 few weeks ago probably
accounts for these conditions, for at that
time there surely was Z surfeit of feStiVi-
ties. And such Surfeit. So great was
the demand that it often became ilnpera-
tive to attend three or more functions q
night. so no friends would be sighted or
an event be mis- sed which anticipation led
on to.
A Change Occurs.
Now, this is changed, bathing and walk
ing, sailing and fishing, driving and wheel
ing have supplanted the more frivolous
pastimes and the summer girl who leaves
this city for home hereafter will go away
with rosy cheeks and stout arms, full of
vim and energy, not as she might were
that former pace to be continued, reach
ing home dragged out, weak, Disguised and
i'll at ease.
