ATLANTIC CITY. \. J.. June Il. 1911
The bathing beach has assumed its
wonted summer Sunday appearance, and
as far the eye can reach is dotted
and crowded with all manner of dsport
ing bathers In all manner OF bathing
suits. Their amusements and recrea'ions
are by no means confined to battling with
the buffetng breakers. one man amused
himself last Sunday afternoon by cover
ing his wife from head to feet with sand
as she lay bathing in the sun. leaving
nothing visible but her head and hair.
Others run and romp any carefree
children. and gather shells and clans.
and toss handfuls of wet sand at one
another. And everywhere Is the holiday
spirit. and laughter and freedom from
the conventions that would pronounce
such actions undgnified-back home.
Along the Boardwalk most any after
noon when the fishermen come rushing
through the surf the thrifty housewife
may provide her family real meal Of
real, absolutely fresh seafood, weaktisii
or croakeGs, at the low-cost-of-Hving
price of cents per pound And they
have the supreme merit of being ad-
vertised-fresh. Great big fellows, the
weakfish now being caught big enough
for a kings table, with enough to spare
for the lackeys-ten. fifteen and twenty
Founders and better, with smaller ones
to suit the purses of those who are not
kings. And the lady promenaders. and
some OF the visiting men as well. stop 10
