The charm of Long Branch lies in
the fact that it is an cvcry-varying pro-
ccssiOn in which men and women of all
degree and positions may parade. There
is the rich brokers' handsome wife in
her smart trap; the gay young girl driv-
ing a pony cart full of children; tn"
numerous women and children at the
side of the road, walking along,
watching the procession that goes to
form Vanity Fair. Like a great depart
mcnt store. YOU can at Long Branch get
anything YOU want. At this end are the
finest hotels and cottages, and from them
pour out to drive, to walk. or to go to
the dances what is known rs 1.-THE wealth

Bah LIKES THE HEBREWS.
How many of you know that the city
! Of Baltimore was really founded by a
jew. Mcndez Cohen? How many people
| know that the greatest music, the finest
| poetry. and the most interesting novels
| have come from the pens of Jews? The
jew is essentially "A mystical creature be

Here. where all is gaycty and where
life seems a huge playground upon which

watch the American children. often over

| when they are girls to start serious tiirta-
tions with young boys. Then look at
| the Jewish children. These children
have been taught politeness in their own
| homes: consequently they carry II
| wherever they go. Into them has been
poured continued faith in the value
| of honoring ones parents. Therefore, ut
| homo or abroad. what else does the
Jewish child do? As my window looks
out on the children's playground | am

themselves Christians. for as the twig
is bent the tree is inclined, and the inn

or mother, but if I talk very much
about badly behaved children the dyna-
mite that is in me will he sef-eXplosive,

TWO TYPES OF BEAUTY.
Can anybody doubt that while AZ

God, beautiful woman is the finest
Every now and then some miserable old
hypOcritc, with strong opinions about
health. food. and underwear. insists that
n square look, Il determined dragging
back of the hair so that the forehead
and the eyebrows look as if they were
being pulled to. shoes two sizes too b;e
for one and Il strong contempt for every
thing that suggests femininity mean
beauty. Now, the first requisite of be-
ing pretty woman is pronounced Xix
ing for mankind. The next is that she
should care so much for each beauty OF
person that nature has bestowed upon
her as to cndeavor to intensity every
one The pretty woman who does not
understand herself is to be piticd. The
pretty woman who does not understand
mankind is to be scorned.
Here there are two extremely beautiful
womcn-women who are quite as differ
cnt as the stately moon and that fairy
mischief, Puck. 1t is true that Puck
was boy. but somehow or other his
quaint. dainty ways describe a certain
type of woman. Imagine o man, Il very
pocket Venus. with figure so superb
that the curves will assert themselves
in the most delicious of gowns; a head
framed in blonde hair worn about tht
length of Ellen Tcrry's, and tumbling in
riot0us curls that never knew thC
scorching power of a pair of tongs anj
never felt the pressure of curl papers
From underneath this aureOle of hail
there look out two of the brightest blue
eyes that ever proclaimed n descendant
of one of the kings of Ireland. 4
