Atlantic. CITY n j. July 9s (specaD.-If there is
any place earth where new fad gains p.ece-
dence very rapidly il is seashore resort. and
this city is not exempt from the general rule by any
means. One of the latest fads here is the wear
ing OF green stockings. 1t is not confined to the
feminine gender. either. for there are as many
men as women who have pronounced liking for
the emerald hued hosiery. But with the women the
fad is carried further than with the sterner

hosiery into the surf when they go In for their
daily dip.

In partial destruction of the bathing section of
the beach IL The measure introduced at a recent
meeting of the City Council becomes law. 1t pro-
yides for the extending oceanward OF the board
walk for several hundred feet in the most pros
porous locality 1t will curta the beach space con-
siderably, and limit the devoted to the
pleasure OF the people who delight in sand and
sun baths The holders of the property along that
locality would. of course. profit greatly by the
change in the location of the walk. but 1t is be-
neved by many that it would materially affect the
resort if the walk is moved. The beach would be

leges would not snaIched from them by few
greedy land owners who are graspng for the al
mighty dollar. II the people cannot have their
beach privileges they will not come here. and that
