This season many people are
swarming to Sea View Hotel on
High Island, a delightful place

sixteen thousand acres, over
which is grazing five thousand
cattle. The hotel is rapidly re-

This is an ideal place for surf
bathing. The beach presents
an animated scene, as the
bathers plunge into the fOaming
surf, while many guests on
horse back or in traps are inter-
ested spectators. Here one daily
receives that delicious sense of
rest and renewed health that
CHEEKY outdoor life brings.
From the present outlook this
resort will be livelier than it has
been for several seasons. Al
night there are dances, musicals,
card parties and like diversions
for those who care to participate.
The most important sOcia.
event of the past week was a pro
gressive euchre. given in the
spacious Dining room of this
place, by a number of Lafayette
ladies. The room was beauti
fully decorated with coreopsi:
and palms. At the end of ter
interesting games, the ladies
