ATLANTIC CITY, April -. 1909.
The glorious weather of the latter part
of the week has proved n magnet of suffi-
cient strength to draw back practically all
of the people that were driven away by
the storms of Easter week. The boardwalk
on last Sunday contained a crowd of al
most as great dimensions as on Easter
Sunday, and the parade was almost as i'm
posing as would have been the real one
under the same weather conditions
The indications are that Atlantic City

agents nave been in the city during the
week seeking terms ana accommodations

LAYING OFF PLOTS AND BREAKING GROUND.

the Normal School work room by Miss Sipe.
The lessons are modelled after those given
to the normal students, including instruc-
ton in kinds of soil, water-holding power
ter. life processes of plants, seed sowing
and potting.
All this instruction will be actually put
into practice during the spring and sum-
mer by each boy on a plot of ground 10
by feet in size. Whatever he raises will
be his own to dispose of as he chooses. The
only requirement is that he cultivate his
plot industriously, neglect causing him to
lose it. All the work will be done by the
boys. including the measuring, laying off the
plots, spading. planting and cultivating. \
close correlation between school work and
outdoor work will be kept in view espe-
cially in arithmetic. This, 1t is believed
will serve to both school and department
officials as an illustration of the value of
such training for boys.
When the strip of ground given by the
department had been allotted in the plots
of the size specified it was found that 4
small strip still remained unoccupied, and
at the request of the girls of the sixth
grade in the Bradley school they were al
lowed to take up the instruction and be-
come gardeners the same as the boys Of the
grade.
The definite purpose of this movement. as
previously suggested. is the identification
of the yards of the public schools. the Or
namentation of the buildings, both on in
terror and exterior, and also the embellisi-
ment of the back yards of the homes of the
various boys and girls receiving the in
struction and training. Other benefits to
be considered are the manual training. the
healthful exercise. the pride of ownership,
tie respect of others rights and the cult
walton of love for the useful and beauti
full. An incident in connection with this
work that may seem singular to those who
have not given particular attention to
study of boy life is that when the question
of how much of each plot of ground should
be devoted to vegetables and how much to

Months have been devoted to the study of
the finest hotels in all the large cities of
this country by both the president of the
Potomac Hotel Company and its architects,
with the result that all the essential ele-
ments and improvements incorporated in
them are adopted for this hotel, both from
an artistic and a practical standpoint.
Materials for the Exterior.
The materials selected for the exterior
have been carefully studied. The first and
second stories are to be of white marble,
with the principal entrance so designed as
to give majesty and dignity as well as
architectural beauty. The columns are to
be Of polished marble, two stories in height,
with well-executed capitals and other de-
tails that will go to the making of the en-
frances a very striking feature of the
structure. Large marquises project eight
feet beyond the columns, executed in bronze
and glass. and these will form protection
during inclement weather.
The stories above the two lower ones of
marble, extending to the eighth floor, are
to be faced with cream terra Gotta in
ashlar courses, and all angles of the build
ing will be carried up with quoin lines. Pro-
jecting balconies of terra Gotta are intro
duced at the several points as shown in the
perspective view. and the window openings
are carefully grouped and treated as
shown. with nodded and modelled archi-
traves. ETC., and the other architectural &C.
cessorieS in harmony Herewith.
The top story will be a revelation of
beauty in exterior color treatment, the or

brought out in strong relief, with back
ground in bright colors. the cornice
being likewise treated. This color

ACTIVITY IN REAL ESTATE.

This has been IA busy week with our
real estate men. The sale of lots eX-
ceeds anything i'll our history.
In Wildwood, Baker Brothers have
sold more than 100 lots in their third
syndicate, and have besides disposed
of some 20 lots east of the railroad to
prominent persons who VIII make
handsome Improvements.
The Ottens plot of 100 lots in Angle
sea has also been closed out.
Mr.. Goldstein has sold at auction 10
lots on Poplar and Juniper avenues
near Park avenue, at an advance of
of $1,000 above their cost in Baker
Brothers syndicate a year ago. This
fact is evidence of what some men can
do while others look on.
We are informed that many sales
have been made in North Wildwood
and Holly Beach, showing that fully
300 lots have been sold i'll the centre OF
the island since the middle of August,
a forecast that the coming year will be
a great one for Five Mile Beach.

The Next Speaker.

John Boyd Avis made his first APP
pearance in the Assembly in January,
1902, and it was some time before he
attracted any attention. He was good
natured and obliging, but he seemed
to be rather modest and took little part
in debate until the session was more
than half through; then it was discover
ed that he was not only good natured
and obliging but that he got whrt he
went after and was quite at home on
his feet in a debate.
Last year he took a more conspicuous
part in affairs and was generally looked
upon as one of the strong men on the
floor, one who could not be ignored for
he was liable to carry the house with
him when he favored or opposed a
measure. When the session closed
Avis had more friends among those who
were at the State House during the
winter than any other Assemblyman.

AN UNFORTUNATE GIRL.

She's never in a novel,
Although she isn't rare,
And she can't get INTO fiction
For, though her face is fair,
Her checks as pink as roses,
Her teeth as white as pearl,
The authors all ignore her,
Cause her hair won't curl.
She's very fond of dancing;
To row is her delight.
She glories in lawn tennis;
She could golf from morn till night,
But she sits out half the dances
Lest her %ringlets all unfurD,
And she must not be an athlete,
Cause her hair won't curl
She loves to go in bathing,
But really doesn't dare;
She knows she's simply hideous
With lank and struggling hair.
While other maids are splashing
Their tresses Irvine and twirl,
She bakes upon the sea beach,,
Cause her hair won't curl.
Her couture is a triumph
When the days are cool and dry,
But she bids farewell to beauty
When the mercury is high.
She doesn't raw a million
Nor pine to wed an earl,
But she prays for an invention
That will make hair curl.

IN PICNIC TINE.

MAYHEM days are long
WY And heat grows strong
We catch the picnic fever,
And plans we lay
To spend a day
Where joy is cares relieVer.
BY train or BOAT
We rush or float
To some far destination
And feast our eyes
In glad surprise
On miles of vegetation.
The picnic ground
AT last is found.
Then with the grub we're trudging
To distant tree
We CHANGED to see
A mile, at least, we're Judging.
But brief is rest,
For there's request
From bulky maid or matron
Who wants to swing,
And suffering
That means for pushing patron.
When tuckered out
BY such a bout
A stroll succeeds the swinging;
A hornets nest
Wins interest,
And then, gee whiz, such stingingi
When dinners spread
A cloud o'erhead
Lets loose, and fierce is wetting
That young and old
And meek and bold
With promptness then are getting.
Still other woes
Swoop down on those
Who catch the picnic fever
Till in dismay
They sadly say
That hopes a base deceiver.
