ATLANTIC CITY.

Special Correspondents Of The star
ATLANTIC CITY. December II. 1910
Numbers of the all-the-ye year hotels re-
port "A greatly Increased number OF hoii-
day-week visitors during the present sea-
son, as compared with last year.
The twelve months ending December
81 have proven to be Atlantic City's ban
ner building year. In 1906 the total
amount expended for new buildings was
s.. 4i3 $50. but the year 1910 has a trife
more than S2.Jo0.o0O to its credit for the
same account. And i'm other lines the
year has given birth to huge undertak
ings for the city's betterment from both
utilitarian and esthetic standpoints.
Notable among the improvements suthor-
ICED or commenced are the resurfacins
of the Meadow automobile boulevard. the
requirement of the Albany avenue park,
ihe purchase by the city of Inlet park,
the new lighting scheme now being put
into effect on the Boardwalk the vast
drainage canal, to cost more than $50
600, on Baltic avenue, and the immense
and costly artesian water mains that now
connect Atlantic City with her many
wells on the heights OF Absecon.
On the Kaleidoscope Boardwalk milady
of the latest vogue is charmingly gowned
in velvet. Tiny narrow fur toques. butt
high and worn low over the face, sup
plant the creations Of early fall. Dur
ing the week between Christmas and
New Year the boardwalk saw. was
shown and exhibited all the latest wrin-
kles in matters femininely sartorial. And
the recherche in velvet hobbies is tho
skirt having a hem of ermine or as near
ermine as convenient. Muffs must match
the velvet and be trimmed with fur To
match the hat. Otherwise one cannot be
of the beau monde. And then the dainty
jabots trimmed with fur and the fetch
ing little slippers of velvet matching the
gown! Beaux yeaux.
Anchored all along the Boardwalk and
just outside the breaker line are doZ-
ems of small open fishing boats. each
containing one OF two men longing for
surf clans. Are they Clustering. or
what are they doing?' Is the most popu-
much larger than the edible variety. is
used as bait for the cod that are now
being caught with hook and line In large
quantities five to fifteen miles at sea. A
their homes i'm Atlantic City. and their
boats work out from the resort. The
catches are iced down and taken usually
to New York or Philadelphia.
