SOCIAL AND
PERSONAL.

This week seems to have been given
up to innumerable Sunday-school excur-
sions and picnics, thousands having gone
down daily to take a dip in Inc ocean.
Many people have had more than a dip,
one of the younger society favorites hav-
ing stayed so long in the water that her
face became so sunburnt that frequent
applications Of witch hazel had to be
used on the homeward journey. Still.
they are delightful occasions; every. one
is in a merry frame of mind and songs
are sung by hundreds Of voices between
the ocean and the town on the return
trip.
Large family parties are the features
of these occasions, and together they
charter a steam launch and go out on
the briny deep for an hour or SO. There
will be still a number of these delight
full trips next week, and nearly every
day the city will miss thousands OF
young faces for the time being from
their midst.
