Labor Day at wildwood Crest.

One of the most important and
memorable events of the season will be
the special Labor Day ceremonies that
will be held on Monday next at the
Wildwood Crest Pier when a valuable
building lot will be presented to Baker
Crest Thurber, the two year old son of
Stephen Thurber, a prominent and
we'll known business man of Philadel-
phia, for being the first baby born at
Wildwood Crest. The fortunate little
fellow like his namesake, "the Crestn
though only two years of age, is large.
sturdy and pretty, and shows splendid
development with good indications of
a brilliant future. The little fellow Is
a splendid specimen of the good health
that is enjoyed by all that are fortunate
enough to be residents of Wild wood
Crest, where his father owns several
handsome cottages and considerable
valuable property, and where the
family spends a large part of the year
in their splendid Pacific avenue cot
tage.
Monday, which will be known as
Children's Day at Wildwood Crest,
will be the last day this season upon
whichlthe Crest pier will be open to
the public, and special attractions have
been arranged for the entertainment Of
the little ones.
After the ceremonies attending the
presentation of the valuable deed of
the lot to Baker Crest Thurber, hand
some souvenir photographs of the little
property owner will be given to every
person attending the exercises.
The pier will be open from 8 o'clock
in the morning until IL o'clock in the
evening, and splendid new shows will
be presented at both the front stage and
within the theater, and these with the
usual band concerts will make the day
one of the unusual events replete with
attractive features.

A Profitable Study.
Such a sensible thing!

Such a sensible thing!
Glasses are being formed in nearly all
the large towns the object of which Is
to teach women how to keep house.
Perhaps you will say they ought to
learn that before they are married
from their own mothers at home.
But they don't always, you see. So
many girls are wage arner nowadays
and haven't time to learn how to keep
house. Besides mothers ways are
often painfully old fashioned, and
housekeeping improves, like everything
else.
Hurrah for everything progressive
connected with 1t, ] sayl
One of the best things taught In the
housekeeping course is how to furnish
the different rooms and, perhaps even
more strongly, how not to furnish
them.
Great stress is laid on suitability
for instance, that pale silk cushions
are out Of place in a living room used
by the entire family, that bric-a-brac,
which does not mean anything, should
be relegated to the cellar and that the
simplest wall paper, furniture and
rugs are In the best taste.
1t shows a decided move forward in
things domestic.

WILDWOOD

Miss Isabella Little, daughter of the
late Joseph and Sarah Little, of Phila-
delphia, died in the Dubois cottage on
Glenwood avenue on Sunday, Aug. 30,
1908, aged eighty years. The funeral
was held on Wednesday from the resi-
dence of her niece, Miss A. L. Hanna,
1895 Seybert street, Philadelphia.
From an artistic point of view, the
cantata, David the Shepherd Boy,u
rendered last Friday in the new Ocean
Pier theatre, was declared by those
who heard it to have been the finest
musical production in the history of
the island. Wildwood was honored by
such a presentation and will look for
ward with anticipation to the develop
ment Of the musical program arranged
by Rev. H. H. Halo well, pastor of the
Baptist church. To generous praise
cannot be given w. B. Livezey, musi-
cal director, for the success of the can
tata. The work of the soloists was of a
very high standard of the artistic char
acter that was anticipated from such
eminent artists as Miss Edith Picker
ing, of Washington, d. O.; Mrs. J. E.
Minch, Bridgeton; Morgan J. Gold
smith, New York cltyi and Prof. j. D.
MacFall, Washington, d. q. Mr..
Rudolph was called away on account
Of business and s. M. Norris at the last
moment volunteered to assume the
roles Of Samuel and Saul-and deserves
great credit for his singing. The chorus
work was rendered with marked en-
thusiasm and was declared by the
solOists to be the most enthusiastic they
had eve heard. The chorus work of
the children, especially their obligato
with the adult section received much
applause. From the moment the cur
tain arose, displaying the great chorus
covering the stage, the applause was
both generous and continuous. The
next cantata will be rendered on Eas-
ter Saturday and already many are en-
rolling to begin work next month. ALI

Ureat demand for Ottens Harb0r
Lots. Many Residents of the
Island Bec0meLOt Owners

island become LOt Owners
Ihere has been a demand and sales
OF lois at h new Ottens Harbor tract,
curing the past w weeks that has
been really remarkable. In the past
ten days the Harbor has made the
record sale of 128 lots. Among the
purchasers it is gratifying to note that
many are residents of Holly Beach and
wildwood. This demand and DISPOSAL
OF building sites to home people is a
convincing Endorsement of the value of
the Harbor tract, not only as an invest
ment, but also as a location for a per
manent home site.
Many of the lot buyers contemplate
the erection of cottages before the OPEN
ing OF another season and it will be but
q lew months before this new addition
TO Holly Beach will be a thriving and
prosperous community of homes.
The moderate cost of lots and the
liberal terms at which they can be
bought makes the proposition a most
aliurlng one to people of moderate
means. The work of constructing ~
state inland waterway will be star

Among the residents of Holly Beach.
who have become purchasers at the
Harbor are: Judge Charles Garrison, of
the New Jersey Supreme Court, Eben
Yenney, Mrs. Elizabeth MCGOWAN, of
the Westminster, Rev. A. w. Spooner.
William H. Bright, James Maxim,
Carl Erickson, John Erickson, Mrs.

Nearly all of these people will build
