THE CURRENCY COMMITTEE AT WORK.
The Currency Committee of the Republican Con-
gressional caucus which is holding its sessions at
Haddon Hail. has continued busily at work this
week. but the result Of the committees delibera-
lions Is kept profound secret. The members posi-
lively refuse to talk. 1t is not likely that anything
will be learned OF their proceedings until they are
ready to report the body which appointed them.
Bathers hitherto have been free to roam wher-
ever they would. long they kept within
in and dripping garments Of the most abb
breviated pattern: but the City Council pro-
poses to put some restrictions this matter. At
the last meeting OF that body Councilman Kelley
introduced an ordinance prohibiting persons wear
ing bathing suits from parading on the boardwalk
the avenues II is considered more seemly that
bathers should conhne their perambulations to the
beach. The objection to bathers on the board
walk only from those whose sensibltes
were shocked by the spectacle Of such scantiy at
tired promenaders. but chiefly from those whose
light summer garments are bedraggled from COM
ing in contact with wet bathing robes. The only
persons who will object to the proposed new regu-
laton Will be cottagers who live near the beach,
and who have been in the habit OF DOMINIC their
bathing suits at home and walking down to the
ocean 1t is not likely, however. that the law will
be so construed interfere with such people so
long they behave properly.

POPULARITY OF ROLLING CHAIRS.
The rolllng-chair fad despite all the fun that has
been poked at II. continues TO grow in popularity.
Originally designed for nvalids the chairs are
used by those In perfect health easy

has become necessary to impose regulations as to
