ATLANTIC CITY, April II, 1909
The man In the sunniest corner Of the
hotel sun parlor sat down with a sigh Of
relief: Thank heaven! the Easter pa
rade and the horse show are over, now
we can get back to pinochler'
We'll. ye'll not win at this Dutch game

piled the Irish colonel. Then silence fell,
and the sun shone down on the rolling
surf outside. pretty girls and Irish green

ity.
Yes. that Is much the way the Atlantic
City visitor of the long-stayinz type feels
| about It, The Easter rush Is Interesting.
and so was the horse show. but what is
1t to the quiet OF the sun parlor, the roll
of the surf outside, and-in some cases
pinochle!
There are prettier gowns to be seen the
| week following the Easter display than
some gowns on the steel pier and in the
grills are not obscured by the great crowd
| OF one-day excursionists which crowds

tertfme visitor, for the glass-inclosed
part Of the steel pier is sunny and COM
Portable, and the view Of the breakers

1t is q common complaint Of people who
| have visited southern California that the
| constant sunshine grows wearisome after
a while, and that they actually long for
gray day. This is sometimes said of
Atlantic City during the long stretch of
sunny weather. so that the big storm
which came in the middle Of the week
was an added novelty. The Easter girl
and her over Easter beau went down to
the end Of the steel pier and reyeled In
watching the great thunderous roll OF the
breakers
| Only the planks Of the pier were be-
tween them and the angry boiling sea be-
low. and straight ahead nothing but toss
ing white caps. ITS just like being on
board Of an ocean liner! wish 1t really
| were!' What he said in reply was
drowned by the roll OF the breakers: per-
haps it was just the warm wind from
of the gulf stream that brought the color
to her cheeks. and perhaps 1t was some
thing else.
Speaking Of celebrities. up at Galen Hall

crowds Of autograph seekers. prelates.

Hall. So. as l say. beware. walk
straight there. for you might run into
William Shakespeare. and no one would

Several of the big hotels have adopted
white mattresses instead of colored men.
with various opinions from their guests:
Say. these white-dressed mattresses

and the Chalfonte and some others have
followed suit The ones at this hotel are
all from New England. understand, and
look like young school marms."
Huh! they would probably have q fit
IL swore or split an infinitive over this
squab!'
The big storm roared itself away, and
Thursday noon everything was flooded
with sunshine. and 1t was so warm that
the straw-hat-cleaner man across the
street promptly opened up his shop. No
doubt the Boardwalk will soon be cheered
by the sight of Pittsburg men in--well, we
hope. for the credit Of the city, they will
be brand-new straw hats.
However. even stormy weather does not
stop enjoyment at the shore. for there
are numerous good theatrical attractions.
If you hear some cheerful young fellows
parading up the Boardwalk all yodlng
