ATLANTIC CITY.

The novel sight of strings of roller
chair pushers stumbling and flounderins
along through snow on the Boardwalk
lent zest to the sensation hunters who
are spending the holidays at Atlantic
City.
| The unusual amount of snow was re-
sponsible for all sorts of unexpected
events; it held up trains and many jolly
automobile parties, who ran down for a
short stay, were obliged to make long
one, as the roads were many days i'm
passable from snow. This only made
things jollier at the big. comfortable
hostelries, where the stranded people sat
around blazing log fires. listened to or
chestras, and in the evening, wrapped to
the chin in fur robes, trundled off to the
| theaters in their inclosed roller chairs
| THE Old Town" was playing at the
Apollo Theater. and afforded much en-
| tertainment, while "Marjorie's Mother
was at the Savoy, with clever Miss Lip
man in the part.
The little people enjoyed dashing in
and out among the roller chair brigade

Giles to the piers; some days they were
| bic to skate on the Boardwalk.
All the large hotels are filled with over
New Year guests. many of them having
