At the seaside resorts the quiet days
of June have given way to the opening
rush of the July season. Crowds OF
pleasure seekers from the heat-burden-
ed cities and inland towns fill the hotels

gansett Pier. Long Branch, Bar Harbor
and Ocean Grove there are more visitors
than ever before 30 early in the season.
At Cape May and Atlantic City the So
cial life is fully insugurated, the first
big dances occurring on the Fourth of
July.
Newport is more beautiful this season
than ever before. Gardeners, se we'll

have been imported, and the discovery
Of blue roses and green carnations would
not be surprising in come Of the hot

fitted yachts which resemble floating
hotels. and upon which large parties
may be accommodated. One summer

the last two years there certainly has
been an evolution of the summer girl.
She no longer mopee on the hotel or

preferable arrangement. The veranda
girl is still to be found, for not every
young woman is equal to the hot sun
and the required effort for sports; but
the smartest girls this summer are off in
the early morning for hunting, riding or
golf. Many Of these young women are
wearing their hair in thick braid dowr
their backs. and the problem Of unruly
hairpins is thus solved.
