CAPE MAY, N. J., July g, 1906.
Washingtonians are prevalent among the
great throng which is here filling up the
resort with the largest crowd that 1t has
entertained in many years. The height Of
the summer season Is now close at hand
and there is much social life. The rainy
weather has produced innumerable I'M
promptu dances, whist and card parties and
dinners.
| MarshmalloH roasts are now fad. and
| numbers of small gatherings of from six
to twenty people go along the beach strand
| in the early evening and there build small
| bonfires over which they roast their favor
| lite candy.
Bathing loses none of It's charms to those
who frequent Cape May and during the
last few days 1t has been a delightful ex-
perience. The pillows have been mountain
| high. capable of roughly handling those not
| on the alert. and the water has been espe-
cially invfgorating. 1t is noticed that there
are bathers, not only at the regular hours
between IL am and l p-m.. but all day,
| from early morn until twilight and some
| times later. An old-timer recently re-
marked. I'VE used to battle three times
per day In old times and had great fun.
Life here not so hedged about with re-
strictions. but was untrammeled and every
body was out for good time. What cared
We for handsomely appointed apartments
We lived in the open and needed a room for
our necessary luggage and to sleep in oc-
casionaly. and didn't want any frils.
Since seaside resorts have been made such
| an important business much of the original
purpose has been forgotten.
