| whole week the townspeople will do little
or no business and the great hosts of
summer visitors will devote themselves
more religiously to pleasure than is their
wont. Mayor Frank L. Ten Brock
and the city officials have laid down their
rule over to a young girl of 10. who for
period of six days will be as much an
autocrat as any monarch upon a real
| throne. For whole week she and her
dozen maids of honor, with Princess Gin
| derella and Prince Charming, viii be
lifted ont of the realms of ordinary every
| day existence into those of royalty. Not
wish she or her attendants express VIII
remain unsatisfed. She will have
royal palace (the Coleman House), will
! be dressed in robes as aueenly as those
ever worn by any sovereign, and when
| she leaves the palace will ride in a gilded
coach, drawn by six mifk-white horses,
and accompanied by outriders. Crowds
of people will line the streets when she
| passes and shout There gees the queen"
! just as if she were in actual fact on
real throne.
This reversal of the natural order of
! things in a city which is very democratic
is typical of many other changes which
the town will undergo as part Of the
programme for the annual carnival week,
which is the red letter period Of Asbury
| Parks summer season and is accompa
nied by demonstrations, at least one Of
which. the baby parade, is unique.
| Undoubtedly it is the very idea upon
which the baby parade was founded
| which has contributed most to its sue
! cess. There are certain women who for
a month ahead plan for their exhibits in
this parade. and the product Of their
/ careful study of the matter are truly
wonderful creations. In order to vary
| the exhibit, the children are divided into
nine divisions. There is doll coach
| division, in which coaches are lost to
view in the masses of cut flowers in all
Imaginable designs.
Another division is the express wagon
division, in which little children in all
/ kinds Of beautiful costumes are seen. The

| decoration generally results in beautiful
floral displays and displays of national
colors, so varied that to describe them
would require the space
! Costumes in burlesque is the funniest
| division of all, for here ideas that are
/ sparkling with wit are exemphfed in
most wonderful ways. Topics of the day
and the men of the hour are always
/ taken off.
| There is a separate division for twins
| and triplets. Very naturally, this is the
smallest division of all, but it is also the
| division in which a great amount of in-
/ terest centers.
In the division for floats the most wonl
derful exhibits are seen. The floats are
attended by little children in costume.
Pony t1lrnouts are seen in the last di-
vision The entries for this year promise
very beautiful display. Some of the
finest ponies IN the State are owned by
residents Of the resort north and south
/ along the shore, and a coed representation
/ of these are to be III the show.

1 Union have at one time or another been
