ciaD.-The seventh week at this plea
sure resort opens up under pleasant
auspices. The wind swung round to the
westward, yesterday, dispelling the fog
and dog-day weather that had been
hanging like a black pail over the har-
bor for the past week, and today the
sun Is out In all Its brilliancy. That
I'VE shall know each other better when
the clouds have rolled away" is fully
verified, for the Pointers are out in
their variegated costume today with
smile that won't rub off. On the water
front, the Pointers playground, the
stage Of the theatre where the drama
Down by the Sea" is enacted during
the summer months, Is beyond descrip-
ton. The stretch Of blue water for
miles and miles is dotted with white
wings and motor craft Of all descrip-
tiOns.
The Point never looked better than it
does today; the wild roses are In
bloom, and the air Is full Of their fra

and just salt breeze enough to paint
the Pointer a good deep mahogany
brown. so he looks like Filipino out
for a picnic. Every day the scene
changes. like Kaleidoscope. new ones
come and take the place Of the de-
parting ones. Captain Westman, the
genial commander Of the Gardiner. who
with Percer Greenleaf looks after the
up-river travel always has a pleasant
word to speed the parting and well
come the arriving guest. Representa-
tive McDougall, who runs the general

expanding countenance of our
George" who in years gone by has
stood behind the grocery counter and
swapped commodities for coin Of the
realm, and at the same time batted
his weather eye at every girl who
passed the store. George was a fin
ished product in his way, a smooth
herb, as the sweet summer girl calls
him. He was unquestiOnably the best
judge OF feminine beauty out of cap
tivity, but alas the Pointer cannot
have all the celebrity. so George is till
ing the soil and leaving a trail behind
him of broken hearts and unkept prom
ises. but there are others, striving in
their humble way to console the
maiden all forlorn for the loss of their
idol. and judging from present ap-
pearances they are succeeding fairly
well.
Every person is a law unto himself
at this cozy resort. and dress coat and
conventiohalities are packed in CAM
