AItnOugn we nave mad various assert
ments of weather this week, the good
weather usually comes out ahead, and
that the gorgeous and ever changing
panorama of the Boardwalk and beaches
has a hypnotizing power, is evidenced
by observation in one of the Boardwalk
pavilions. Two girls and young man
were sitting next, and 1t was clear case
of "two's company and three's none" for
one of the girls, and the youth cast dis
porting chances at each other every now
and then. and he doubtless wished "tother
dear charmer away" but she stayed.
My" she exclaimed, I'm so sleepy. /
have been up SO late every night I'm al
most dead!'
"Why don't you save yourself and take
a nap in the afternoon said the youth,
seeing a CLEAN of hope in the PROPOSE
ton.
well, 1 would. for I'm just dropping
over with sleep-but I'm just afraid to go.
for fear I'll miss something
Surf bathing draws multitudes to the
beaches. and the great aggregation OF
sun bathers in the sand stretch away in
every variety of attitudes.
The beach chairs are a comfortable
point of vantage from which to observe
the endless little beach dramas on all
around
It is estimated by railroad officials that
1.5oO to 1000 people to Atlantic City this
week, and from the appearance OF the
Boardwalk, piers and hotels it would
seem as though the number were about
correct.
The popularity of out-of-door gardens
and the cafes and grills, where good
music is furnished with the refreshments
Is growing all the time. Public opinion,
however, will stand by the mayor in back
ing any line OF action to compel the
cafes to stop the music after the mid
night hours. Most Atlantic City people
after a Strenuous day In the surf. and or
the Boardwalk, and several hours OF the
theater. and evening fun, are ready to 60
to sleep. There are numbers of the
hilarious who stay up much later. but II
does not seem fair that the minority
| should be allowed to disturb the majority
after the midnight hours. 1t is to be
hoped that the rule will be enforced.
There are a good many people who
| wonder what Is inside of Capt Young's
Italian villa at the end OF the million
dollar pier. which Is SO brilliantly lighted
| up every evening. 1t has the most origi-
nal interior that can we'll be imagined
the whole outfit of the interior decora-
ton Is suggested by the sea and the
treasures therein
The dining-room is frescoed with such
curious ana pretty eHect. that one seems
to be gazing right into the depths Of the
sea. with the surface above them, or
which are the white sails of yachts
Fishes OF wierd aspect are seen I'm the
depths. The front reception room has
border around the top of the walls
glass, the occasional bright iridescencl
of the butterflies furnishing q pleasant
note of color in the decorative scheme.
The captain has just recently received
- = .-n
which he particularly invited US in to
see. 1t surely is odd and pretty, made OF
something that closely resembles mother
OF pearl; each chair is huge she'll. and
the table tops Of one large shell are sup
ported by carved sea horses and dolphins
|. The pearly whiteness and soft shell like
/ coloring. makes the furniture work OF
art.
The big northeast storm which struck
| Atlantic City in the early part of the
ers off the Boardwalk and as rule the,
took refuge in the many indoor arnuse-
ments offered by the hotels and theaters
A great many card parties were held ir
! the music rooms of the big hotels. and
| the theaters were thronged.
There are great many people who are
! now aware that Atlantic City has a fine
Carnegie library. built of stone and mar.
! BILE. where all the maya zines of the day
are at the visitors disposal, besides a
i only block from the Boardwalk, on The
| corner of Pacific and Illinois avenues. an6
| the report of the librarian shows that the
circulation for this year has exceeded
that of the same month last year BY
some 1000 volumes. 1t is pleasant and
restful place after the Boardwalk glitter
and is an IDEAL place for the occasional
rainy day. Visitors at the shore deposit
50 for the privilege of drawing from the
library, which same sum is returned to
tbom 1T the end of their STAY There are
people who are unkind enough to hint
that there have been instances when this
amount at the end of an Atlantic City
stay, has been received back with fer
vent gratitude.
