The Washington herald., 1913-07-27
Arundel-on-the-Bay, Md.

August Is supposed to be the big
month in this resort Of sand and wood.
It is then that the many government OFF,
Gals who own cottages at this popular
Chesapeake Bay town take their vaca-
ton. bathing In the surf and sitting un-
der the shade trees which make Arundel
on-the-Bay unique among seaside re-
| sorts. Many of us carry memories OF
binding stretches OF dazzling sands and
| tOrrid heat devoid of trees. Here 1t is
different. The woods overlap the bathing
beach and sunshades are carried for
artistic effect rather than from neces-
| sity. Though II lacks five days to the
| most popular" month, events are crowd
| ed into every hour OF the waking time.
and there is not a dull moment and not
a case of sickness in the entire COM
munity. In fact, two elderly visitors who
came here under medical care have had
the pleasure of graduating into DR.. Sun
| shines school.
| The big event Of the week is the cleo
! ton Of Mayor and seven Commissioners
who are to guide the destinies of the
| town through the coming twelve months
| These elections are so harmonious they
SAVIOR rather of pink tea than politics
Just now all are rejoicing in the erection
| from end to end of the town Of a wooden
sidewalk running along the beach at
| times. and then wandering amid the
trees, making a delightful stroling place
any hour of the day. AS this is directly
| the gift TO the people by the present
administration. it is more than likely the
! officers will find 1t bridge leading to
another term of Office. The Mayor OF
Arundel is the well-known Thomas w.
| Smith, of Washington. In fact. all the
Commissioners are local men except Mr..
Arthur Lee Bosley, of Baltimore. Among
the gentlemen locally well known on the
ticket for the Arundel election held Satur-
day are James c. Courts, Amos F. Med
ford, Michael ]. Weller, Edwin c.
Graham, Nicholas II. Shea. and Philander
Johnson, and for Mayor, Thomas W.
Smith. for many years the Mayor of the
town.
The unique feature OF the election here
is the equal rights platform for women
taxpayers and those living here six
months yearly have the same voting priv
ilege as their brothers and husbands. In
fact, if the lady OF the family pays.
the taxed husband has to look pleasant
and nothing else. He cannot vote except
under the six months residential clause.
For Washingtonians who can vote no.
where else the suffrage liberty OF Arundel
is not its least attraction.
The woman's Civic League has leased
the pavilion, which was in a tottering
condition, and expended a good sum In
its restoration. The housewarming was
accomplished by a subscription card par
ty, which will practically wipe out all
debt. Mrs. Weller. of Washington, won
the second prize at the 500 tables, Mrs.
Bosley. Of Baltimore. taking first, and
Mrs Flemer of Westmoreland County,
Va. being a lucky third. The geograph-
ical distribution Of the prizes seemed ap-
propriate, as Virginia and Maryland are
so well represented among the sojourners-
here.
