ecial Correspondence of The Star.

ATLANTIC CITY. May 1. 1909
Although the roll of the surf UP the
broad beaches of Atlantic City is the one
permanent and undying attraction of the
place, the talk of people in the sun par
lors and exchanges and in the strolls
down the Boardwalk has this week been
charged with puts" and ''lofts.' 'haz-
ards and all the technicalities of the
royal game Of golf.
The spring tournament of the Atlantic
City Country Club brought clans of golf
ers to the city. and among them the most
disting uished players in the country. The
links were in fine condition and poetic IN
their stretches of spring green Around
the edges of the meadows the young trees
blossomed in pink and white, while the
distant line of blue water brought rest
and refreshment to the eye.
The clubhouse was gay with people, the
verandas filed with spectators and the
constant ring of the auto horn announced
another red green or yellow touring car.
Altogether it was sight to inspire the
LATEST caddy that ever carried a bag
One of the greatest charms of Atlantic
City is its possibility for the unexpected
It is not only true that. being a cosmopol-

likely to disclose your lonS-lost uncle from
Australia or that nice girl you met last

contemplative walk down the pier is
liable to end in a riot. 1t happened half

All looked peaceful as a day in June,
when Dukes nervous ears caught the

The gentleman was hastened toward the
seal cage at a gait most undignified. and
only the wire netting prevented a battle

way of sailing by and turning his head
over his shoulder with bark of contempt
that threw Duke into spasms of wrath.
He was dragged away, but all down the
pier subdued growls showed that insults
still ranked in his canine breast. On the
return trip came the revenge. The seals
had been performing their act in the the
ater. and the man was fencing off a path
across the pier for their return trip to the
tank. He unfortunately left an opening.

A dignified, elderly lady dressed in
mourning and carrying gay little basket
of dyed eggs waited outside of the White
House grounds Easter Monday morning.
Evidently she was expecting a family
party, for she strolled up and down and
finally sat down on the rail coping. As
she sat there another woman, plotting a
flock of youngsters, one of whom was
crying, stopped and asked:
How do you sell your eggs"
The elderly lady on the coping smiled
indulgentiy. as she answered.:
my good woman. you have made a
mistake"
And the person who overheard felt that
the honors were easy. 1t is annoying to
be mistaken for curb vender, but to be
called my good woman" is enough to
madden saint.
Then the elderly lady did something
really fine. She took from her basket
two bright eggs and gave them to the
crying child, who had plainly broken her
own.

Around the City

The dairy lunchroom was deserted. The
rows of chairs stretched out their arms to
emptiness; the lone rubber plant had
nothing to rubber at, and the fly fan in
the middle of the ceiling hung motionless,
like the wheel in a mill stream that had
gone forever dry.
All these finger points to failure did a
woman notice. as she entered and made
for the far end counter for her usual mug
Of buttermilk. AS the new proprietor
poured out a pint of "shook-up clabber'
the woman noticed card tackled against
the wall Then she knew the why Of the
sudden abomination Of desolatiOn. For
the card read:
Pie six cents
It also spelled failure.

A European legation young man was
halted on 18th street by q colored woman
Of the ante-bellum type. who asked him
to give her a nickel for the car ticket she
held In her hand. The young man re-
fused to enter into International negotia-
tions, but took q quarter from his vest,
handed 1t to her. touched his hat as po-
litely as if she belonged to his own smart
set, and passed on.
The woman flashed q "Gawd bless YER
after him. and. with an eye to business,
waylaid another man, thrust the ticket
before his face and whined the same re-
quest. AS the second man had seen the
first transaction and was, moreover po-
liceman in plain clothes, 1t Is needless to
state that he showed the old soul no quar-
ter.
And now she will be having time
enough to wonder whether the luxury of
getting money without working for 1t
compensates for the drawback OF being
run in.
This Is what one woman was telling
another one:
I've just had proof that chivalry is
not confined to those in the higher walks
Of life. 1 boarded Georgetown car and
happening to remember that 1 owed d
penny to feilow-clerk who keeps a
memorandum of expenses down to a
penny for convenient reference. l asked
the young conductor If he could change
a quarter SO that could obtain penny.
He answered that he couldnts but that if
I wanted to get paper he had a cent
which he proffered. and which /, taken
by surprise, blushingly refused. Then
when the car reached the 14th street
junction he got paper from a newsboy
and put 1t in my hand. think he was
so nice and kind"
1t didn't seem to occur to her, how
ever, that she must be nice herself to
appreciate the kindness.
A comfortable-looking brown woman
had stopped wheeling her twin babies to
pay her respects to pretty matron who
had kind eyes with sparkles in them
