After all, the thing that governs the
summer season-that announces Its open
ing and marks Its ciose-that sends So
eiety of on its vacation and recalls II
with the approach of fall-is the public
school, perhaps the greatest factor In a
city's movements
Just a. present everybody is interested
In the opening OF school, whether direct
" or Indirectly, and with its opening on
Monday the city win Once more regain
It's air Of habitation. Residents will flock
home from all parts of the country, yea,
even from Europe, societies and clubs VIII
reopen, and though it win probably be
well into October before society is fairly
afioat, steps will at once be taken to
launch the steamer social Union"
where all the passengers are assigned to
frst-class, -seeond-class or steerage, exS
aetly as upon the ocean voyage, accord

As the summer girl returns to city life
she finds there are several things she
must discard. Prominent among them IS
the big picturesque, soft felt hat with
the long quill, so popular this year for
every QeSCEtVllUl OA OutAA2S 0Nes -
street cars were never built for long
quilts. and she who still persists in wear
ing the sombrero for street car travel,
must either take an open car or sit with
her back to an open window, her pretrud-

There are probably no handsomer golf
links along the Jersey coast, nor any bet
ter patronized by Jersey City golfers,
than those at Deal Beach. It is an ideal
spot, this seaside golf course, about two
miles long, with eighteen holes, or Just
twice the size Of the Jersey City course,
while the northwestern arm Of Deal Lake,
which stretches along the southern end
of the course, lends a picturesque charm
to the scene and breaks the monotony of
a long stretch Of green prairie, with It's
grave-llke tagged intrenchments. Then.
too, the golfers, themselves. in their
white skirts or knickerbockers and red
Jackets add just the right touch Of anis
mated completion
The clubhouse is In keeping with the
ground and even as the Deal Station, be-
fore its removal across the track, ex-
cited the admiration of incoming passen-
gers. But the clubhouse is not commo-
dious enough, and so a new and much
handso1ner structure is being built. There
is also a stable for horses, while the
entrance to and driveways through the
place are all that can be desired

these grounds are Miss Anna Koonz, Miss
Anne Traphagen, Miss Ida Jarvis, Mr..
Robert Jarvis, Jr., DR.. Harold Koonz,
Mr.. Wesley Negus, Mr.. James YOUNG.
