A WHEEL OF FORTUNE
AT BUTTONWOOD BEACH

gestion OF a bowling alley in those days
would have been instantly frowned down
upon.
More than quarter of century has
passed away and Buttonwoods still -four
ishes, but note the change
A big casino rises from the ashes and
traditions of the past where there Is a
sound OF revery by night suggestive Of
bowling and billiards. and on Sunday
there is the game OF golf and the
pastime of fishing and sailing instead OF
the Puritan Sabbath of yore. What
moral degeneration forsooth? How have
the mighty fallen?
Could the good old deacons, long since
passed To their rest. return again TO these
once duiet shores and behold the change
with what horror would they survey the
scene?
Indeed a glance into the casino and as
pecially a glimpse of the wheel of fortune
during the recent fete would have evoked
the fervent expression Of those sentiments
uttred by the wise man Of old: Vanity
OF Vanity. All is Vanity"
But times change and we change with
them unconsciously, sull none tho less
surely. yet, after all. who does not often
long for a return Of the good old Puritan
Sabbath as a release from the hurry and
hustle OF modern life?

The recent "fete champetre" given at

from a financial point OF View that II has
