| that people are beginning to realize the
| pleasure of visit to Atlantic City in
| September.
The many conventions have swelled the

midsummer. and the uniform good
weather has added to the joy of the Seu-
tember visitor.
From all indications the Hudson-Fulton
| celebration at New York will bring a good
| many to Atlantic City, as the inland peo-
pie can hardly forbear side trip down
here before they return to the west or

The experience of this past week has
proved that Atlantic City is more and
more becoming the place for Labor day
celebration. The weather this week was
great Labor day crowd of bathers who
dashed into the surf with full enjoy
ment of its refreshment and the knowl-
edge that it is the last real bathing month
OF the season.
Atlantic City seemed more crowded over
Labor day than in midsummer. possibly
because we were not expecting such a
crowd; but they came as coZily dressed
as In midsummer. The ocean was u deep
blue and the air soft and pleasant All
the amusement places were overlooking.
One OF the funny sights of the Boardwalk
was the crowd in front of Childs'. which
gathered there after a dip in the surf,
| at hungry time" The crowd waiting to
get something to eat stretched nearly
across the walk, and blocked the en-
trance solid with people.

parted. and the brown khaki uniforms are

Band from st. Cecilia's School in Phila
delphia. They wear a butternut- colored
cloth costume. consisting Of long trousers,
coat with 'angel sleeves and coattails
that flare around their knees and an
Italian pill-box hat on the head. The
youngsters fly around In these strange
accoutrements and are proud of them for

many different ways.
