ARUNDEL-ON-THE-BAY. Y.

! The cool and brilliant days and nights
at Arundel-on-the-Bay seem to indicate
that the mountains have come to the
seashore; while the water is warm the
| air has an October-like snap, very de-
lightful after the humidity Of the city.
Cottagers are crowding into each hour
every possible enjoyment as the play
time is shortening.
The golden-rod is a month early and
very abundant, and leaves are tinging
with the autumn colors. The artists are
| busy making studies for later work and
finishing off marine views for early ex-
hibition. Among them is Mrs. Frances
r. Burket, Of the Paint and Palette
Club,> Of Montgomery County. Nd, who
will have some clever studies in oil
for the forthcoming exhibition OF her
club.
Every one plays here but the painters,
writer's, and town commissioners. The
latter gave many meetings looking to-
ward the betterment Of conditions. The
latest complaint Is too many trees, as
some Of the residents on the back streets
cannot see the bay. The edict has
therefore gone forth that 1900 trees are
to be trimmed or cut down.
The younger set has had the center of
the stage recently, Master George Town
send entertaining in celebration OF his
sixteenth birthday a large party with 500
and other games, while little Jennings
Courts, son of Mr.. J. C. Courts, clerk of
the Committee on Appropriations in
Congress, and Ned Graham, both about
ten years old, are the heroes Of a rescue
party. Miss Bosley and Miss Alice Mat
thai, of Baltimore, had a spill from a
canoe and found the water over their
heads. Miss Matthai could not swim and
Miss Bosley was having a difficult time
in caring for her when the boys arrived
in a rowboat and not only rescued the
ladies, but saved the canoe. They showed
great GOODNESS in an emergency that
might have taxed the skill of much older
boys.
Miss Susie Courts will accompany her
father, Mr.. ]. C. Courts, to Panama this
week. Mr.. Rea, clerk Of the Committee
on preparations OF the Senate, is stay
ing with Mr.. Courts.

granddaughter of Mayor Smith, Miss
Frances Shaw, who with her grand
mother dispenses the hospitality of their
cottage on the Bay Shore.
Mrs. Andrews and her son, Master AL
len. are entertaining a party of Wash
ingtonians. They occupy THE Point
cottage, the farthest into the Bay Of all
the houses here. A new diversion with
them is fishing for watermelons. The
gale of Saturday night that did much
damage out seaward brought much fine
fruit Arundelward. Miss Cynthia Van
Week, beautifully gownea on the way
to Sunday school, was approached by her
little friends to get a melon bobbing in
full sight Of the boardwalk She donned
her bathing suit and secured the fruit
and redressed and was ready to take her
place on time in the class.
