ATLANTIC CITY. \. T.. July II. 1909.
Crowded.. Did any one say that At
iantic City was full OF people? Well. con-
fidentiafly speaking. we do not mind 1t If
we are bit crowded. Especially If it is
by pretty Washington girls, or senators,
or army and navy people The more the
merrier. The Boardwalk IS full of pretty
groups of young people who now and
then get caught by the camera man. The
big excursions brought on a great NUMBER
of Pittsburgers this week, and we nope
there are-for the girls sakes-the proper
proportion OF millionaires.
The surf bathing IS at It's height ana
the cool. refreshing breezes which can
.elways be found on the piers tno matter
how hot the BoardwaIk) afford opportuni-
ties for many delightful tete-a-teteS ana
the forming of pleasant acquaintance.
For the all-season visitor at the shore,
the Country Club over at NosthleIo lorHls
a pleasant change, as 1T gives one
cljmpsa OF green, refreshing country.
The yerandas of the club are gay with
people who whirl up in their automooiles;
One of the most interesting features oA
life at Atlantic City is the interest Wnlcn
the hotel guests take in the hundreds or
little children who are convaleSclnS from
city hospitals in the reVlvinS an al the
Children's Seashore Home. which mas a
large building and grounds down In Cnel-
sea right on the car line, and but a rev
blocks below the Hotel Ostend IL Is q
natural feeling with most or the soou-
natlired American people that Wh1ie they
are having a good time at the Snore tney
would like 10 feel that they are helping
little TO give some one else a little happl-
ness; so. through the hotel guests, IT
often takes the form of giving the con-
yalescent children at the shore treat
of some kind For inst ance, one man en-
loved giving all the little chaps roller
chair ride, which created quite sensa-
rion on the Boardwalk, as the rows OF
bright excited little faces passed with a
nitiful number OF crutches sticking out
of the roller chairs. Another good friend
gave them a corn roast on the beach
Wherein the small boys smeared hungry
little faces in the good green corn COP
Another friend gave them a straw ride In
q country wagon, which they had
hiiariously happy time.
