IT'S THE LOVERS TRAIN.
Scenes at the Weekly Parting of the
Betrothed at AsburY Park.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The lovers train" at Asbury Park
is one of the most interesting features
of that delightful summer resort. The
9:26 train for New York every Sunday
evening has received that name, and
no one questions its appropriateness.
Long before it is due the trolley cars
going out to Interlaken are packed
with hatless maids and matrons and
young men with Gladstone bags-the
latter on their way back to the city.
And every lassie on the car has her
laddie beside her, and frequently her
mamma also. And here are such ten
der scenes and such a chattering of
merry voices it is a wonder the trolley
car keeps to it's straight and narrow
way.
Twenty minutes before the train is
due at Interlaken the great platform is
crowded with these young people who
have been making the sentimental his
tory of one summer at Asbury park.
There never was such theater of
youthful affection as one may see here.
Maid and lover stand hand to hand
and knee to knee and eye to eye and
murmur to murmur. They are sum-
ming up the sweet experience of the
Sunday before they part for long
week When it is over the maiden and
mamma will go back to their boarding
place and the young man will be on
town.
The crowd thickens until it walls the
track for half the length of a city
block, and the chattering lovers stand
shoulder to shoulder back to the sta
ton gates. Some of the girls are hold
ing the wrists of their lovers, a token
of regard that is at once novel and in
teresting; some, in the crush, make
sure of no untimely separation by lay
ing hold of their lovers by the coat
lapels. The crowd is locked in vast
embrace and everyone can feel the beat
of his neighbor's heart and hear his
murmured VOWS. Precipitation drips
from locked hands and excited faces.
Suddenly there is a movement among
those near the track. The oncomlnS
train shakes the feet of the crowd anu
with a great roar and rumble follows
the flash of its headlight. one heafs
a great chorus of good-byes ana a
quick smacking of lips. The men break
away and rush aboard. Then there
are only women on the platform, but
there will be lot of weddings IN the
-
