 WOodmont- -the-Sea was bright and beautiful yesterday and seemed like a jewel sparkling in the rays of the bril- liant sunshine. Everything in nature looked so fresh and clean after the rainy season, and with returning warm weather and a dry season there will probably be a large influx of visitors and cottage residents. Many of the summer colony have not taken up a permanent residence yet on account of the cold and indictment season, but have contented themselves with permanent visits.
 The Hotel Pembroke is open and also Mrs. Schleet's boarding hotel, formerly the old Merwin's Point house, which has been enlarged, a large addition hav- ing been built on the rear.
 There have not been many social events yet, but the closing of the schools will bring the younger element and will make it more lively.
