VIRGINIA BEACH, VA, July 1.-THE
week succeeding the Fourth has been
marked rs one of the most pleasant OF
the season. There remains large crowd
IN the cottages, where each evening the
guests gather on the porches or tho
cliffs over the beach and hours pass
pleasantly In merry chatter or singing in
the moonlight. Since the moon has been
shining so beautifully, tho young folks
are missed from the hotel and all along
the beach can be seen many couples seat
ed near the waters edge In tete-a-tetes
for at Virginia Beach all girls are allow.
ed this privilege, where al other places 1t
is not considered an fait; perhaps that
solves the problem Of Virginia Beach and
popularity.
