est and most prosperous spring in its his
tory. still continues The number OF guests at the
various hotels IS steadily increasing. The zenith or
the spring is reached at Easter ana there Is
every reason to believe that the throng on the
boardwalk on Easter Sunday this year will be by
far the greatest that has ever gathered here, ex-
cept in midsummer. Although that day is still three
weeks i'm the future, number Of the largest hotels
in the city already have all their rooms engaged for
Easter week. and decline TO take any more guests
for that time There Is good reason for all this lie
and prosperity Atlantic City has made wonderful
strides in popularity a spring resort within the
last few years It's usually delightful climate, its
SPLENDID hotels and its various other features have
proven attractive.
Society DEGREES that social functions except OF
the most quiet sort. shall cease during the period
between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday De-
prived for a season OF their usual amusements.
nothing is more natural than that votares Of
fashion should seek recreation amid scenes other
than those 70 which they have been accustomed in
the winter and at the same time recuperate for the
social whir into which they will plunge after the
close OF the penential period
MANY SMALL SOCIAL AFFAIRS.
Atlantic City has proven itself an ideal place for
tust such rest and recreation, and scores Of we'll
known society people may be seen in the hotel cor
ridors or promenading on the boardwalk But social
affairs are not entirely forgotten. The visitors are
constantly induging in little affairs Of social nat
ure Many pleasant card parties are given al the
various hotels There has been noticeable alb
sence OF balls and elaborate dances. but there nave
been plentv of smaller affairs 10 take their place
The assortment Of rainy. snowy, clear cloudy
warm and cold days put an effecual stop to solf
and kindred outdoor sports for the time being but
clear skies have again reappeared, and the INKS
are once more I'm good condition. There have been
numerous visitors to the grounds of the Country
club at Mortified this week. and many notable
practice games have been played. The players nave
included number OF the crack golfers Of the coun-
fry who ind the Country Clubs links the equal OF
anv in the country. The delightful situation OF the
grounds which comprise one hundred acres or land
overlooking Lakes Bay, and the comIor'dOie c'uD
house are attractions in themselves.
There was dismal failure this week 70 prohiplt
the granting Of any more liquor licenses in the
beach-front district Of the city. Although there
has been for many years an unwritten law 20 the
effect that bars shall not be permitted on the
boardwalk in the hotel section, it is quite evident
that public opinion is against any attempt 10 en-
