penny devises and forms OF amusement
which are more or less beguiling to the
person bent solely upon having good

pend upon the gullibility of patrons Tor

upon in this manner don't seem TO mind
in the least. They take a philosophical

Go to "Rest Up"
A good many Washingtonians go to
the seashore to rest up" as they are
pleased to term the avowed purpose of
their seashore outing. As TO whether
they carry out their expressed inten-
tion in the matter of securing a rest
is merely an individual matter As a
rule they go through more exertion
daily. and take in (or are taken in by)
more amusements than they ever
thought about in a month at home Few
persons who go to the seashore for the
purpose of resting up" ever succeed
in doing so.
II would be next to impossible to
name a single resort along the Allan
tic Coast. from Maine to Florida, that
does not have its sprinklIng of Wash
ingtonians just at this season of the
year. While the majority of them con-
gregate in the places where there are
various forms of amusements, and where
there is plenty of life the folk of

fondness for the mountains and quiet
country places. Perhaps that great
American trait which the European de-
scribes as the national failing" that
Unborn love of excitement and hustle
and activity, is cropping out a little
more pronouncedly of late. At any rate.
1t is certainty that more Washing
tonians are spending their summer out
ing at the seashore this year than ever
before. Aside from the attraction offer
ed by the sea bathing and salt air
breezes. these resorts in nearly every
instance offer unlimited excitement and
amusements of most every form ever de-
vised by man-besides a lot more for
which the credit is certainly due to
Old Nick himself or some of his travel
ing agents.

1t has often been said that the per-
