! peake Beach. where they enjoyed them

rejecting happiness. the party seemed 10
realize that everything was thrown open
TO them out Of the kindness OF the man
! agement, and that the day was 70 be
a round OF undnuted merriment amid
the many attractions Of Chesapeake
Beach.
Arriving al the Beach. each and every
one Of the party appreciated what had
been left behind. as we'll as what the
day was TO bring forth. After becoming
thoroughly acquainted with their sur
! roundings. much time was devoted 20
the innocent frOlics OF childhood. and
/ many a wonder was expressed at the
marvellous expanse OF water that con-
fronted them.
Later In the day a general rush was
made for the water Plainly dressed
little girls and dusty stockinged boys were
suddenly transformed into sea urchins,
and there they remained for several
hours. some plunging in with an abandon
that argued a close acquaintance with
old Neptune, while others evidenced a
coolness toward the bay which only
permitted shallow waters to percolete IN
and out between pink toes.
Tickets 20 Everything.
Generously provided with tickets 70 the
merry-go-round. the scenic railway. and
the various other attractions OF the place
that were gratis. not one in the entire
group envied any king in the world At
any time during the visit TO the Beach
The music OF their laughter and shouts
OF delight fairly swamped and out-echoed
the lap OF the waves on the beach.
When the time for the return trip 10
the city was announced happiness stiIl
prevailed. and during the journey home
many were the recitals OF the most en-
joyable incidents Of the day. while every
little heart was full OF contentment and
thanhulness 70 the management OF the
resort for its generous treatment.

OF the railway company, accompanied the
