She m DOWN all sleepy |
eyed and goes home shining and
brisk. Again she seeks the beach at
noon, and after luncheon, if she has
nothing else to do, goes down to play
pranks in the waves. At Narragan-
sett the girls are remarkable for their
chaperons. Two wicked young men
from New York searched three NOR
tai days for a girl without a chaperon,
and finally ~contented themselves with
the only n left-a girl with two
duennas. Young ladies are in great
demand here, and the man who hest
tates is lost-or his girl is.
Narragansett chaperons are unlike
any other. They Ire pretty and en-
gaging. Many a man begins with the
girl and ends by flirting with the
chaperon.
Narragansett is remarkable for an
other thing-namely, It's summer men.
Last summer the board walks were
fairly well picked out with white fan
mel men, but this year 1t is made
beautiful by pink flannel specimens
and blue ones. White duck boys are
everywhere seen land, to glance along
the promenades, is to promise ones
self the cheering sight OF patent leath-
ers and duck trousers, as many as you
want to see-that is, If you are a sum-
mer girl to whom q manless summer
resort is a near approach to being
buried alive. They are kept active
and smiling by the attentions of the
beaux that, somehow Or other, find
their way here.
Asbury Park is very popular this
season, as usual, and is very high
toned. jas. Bradley owns the town.
| He is no hin to Elder Jas. Bradley, of
| Mexico, but has the same solid, sub
stantial ideas about morality. He
tries to make his resort popular with
the best people, and says:
$50 far as filtration on the beach is
concerned, young folks will court,
and it is useless to think of trying to
stop them.
"My idea is that they should court
properly.
"I do Tot believe that a young man
will put his arm around a young
woman whom he loves in public. II
the man is ignorant and devoid OF
good taste the police officers will
teach him better manners.
"Any man who puts his arm around
a woman walking on the sand or sit.
ting on the benches / do not consider
al fit person or the beach, and if he
repeats the offence after warning he
is not allowed to return to the board
walk. I am very glad to say, how
ever, that such men, who are towards
at the best, do not need more than one
warning"
"Old man Bradley" as they cal
him, is not very popular with some Of
the young bucks and a few of the ole
bucks, but he has made Asbury one
of the most enjoyable resorts in the
world.
Inote that many of the small citiet
in the East advertise far and wide In
every way: "Factory Sites Free.'
At the depot on a large board you viii
find such a sign painted. Mexico
needs factories and needs them bad
and when we get them we mus
patronize and foster them carefully
Some of Mexico's people do not ap'
preciate and patronize home indus
tries as they should. Be loyal an6
true to those institutions you have
and others will come. Nothing builds
up a town so much al speaking vel
of and buying from home people
When Mexico gets the reputation o.
taking good a r of small manufac'
turing establishments she will flour
ish. When you can buy products o.
your home people there is nothing
better than Monochrome folks anG
home made goods.
