One thing is at last booming-the bath
ing, the temperature of old ocean having
gone up half a dozen degrees within few
days.

main bathing beach, Narragansett, now
that it is in bloom, is seen to be practically
the same as for three or four years. The
villa end Of the resort is growing.
The opening of the Little Casino by Chas
RausIher of Washington fills a long felt
want. The place has the merits of being
exclusive and retired, and every visitor
at Narragansett should take a peep at
the ornamental dragon which Is never able
to Stake his thirst at the water tank. A
feature Of the new management of this

ing house is the diner richie served Sat
urday and Sunday evenings.

brought his pack of forty hounds to Ca
nonchet, the old Governor Sprague place.

hotels will be crowded during the tourna-
ment.

rather earlier this season than usual.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
SEA GRIT, N. j., July II, 1902
This week has been far and away the
liveliest of any of the season, because 800
of the New Jersey troops have been in
camp. Encampment weeks are, in gaiety,
never quite equaled by any other week of
the season. although the latter July and
August crowds do not allow the merriment
to lag. The sport is of rather a different
character while the soldiers are here, and
because of their presence, the arrivals have
been exceptionally heavy this week. The
fremont and Parker House are literally
packed with guests. The troops are to be
here next week still, and in detachments
during the rest Of the season. The latter
part Of August the rifiemen from many
states will be here contesting for the prizes

The Growth Of the Beard,


1.-The beard hardly grows at all when
you are asleep" said the barber.
How do you know" asked the man in
the operating chair.
"Oh, by experiment. You see, I always
used to shave myself in the morning the
first thing after getting up, but I hated
to do It, because it was so apt to make
me late for breakfast. So = one night
shaved myself at IL o'clock and went
straight to bed and to sleep. Do you
know, my face was almost clean when
got up? You would have sworn, unless
you had examined me closely, that 1 was
fresh from the razor. And ever since then
I have shaved before going to bed, and
have been given credit for shaving in the
morning. The growth Of the beard, you
see, is practically imperceptible during the
eight or nine hours of your Sleep
But II you should stay awake those
eight or nine hours the growth would be
as fast as usual. One night. after / had
shaved, I had to stay up with my sick
daughter. and almost needed a second
scraping in the morning. The beard grows,
in my opinion, three times as fast when
you are awake as It does when you are
asleep"
