ARUNDEL ON -THE-BAY.

Brilliant weather OF almost midsummer
heat marks the post holiday season. The
| Labor Day celebration had a splendid
background OF smiling skies and placid
| seas, nature seeming to chide the vaca-
tionists who are turning their backs on
the village on their homing flight, just
as the time life seems most worth living
here.
The population can certainly be termed
4 floating" not only the part out in the
boats. but those who are up anchor"
for Washington. and the large incoming
parties for the hunting and oysters. The
oyster ridge running parallel with the
shore road. about a thousand feet OF
| shore, is already dotted with the~oyster
| feet, which adds much to the picturesque
| features of the autumn landscape. The
biyslves are said to be fat, and are SELL
ing for less than 81 per bushel. The
snap and crack of rifles indicate rabbit
| shooting has begun. There has been a
prohibition against promiscuous hunting
| here for the last five years, so the woods
are now well stocked. In fact. the pet
dogs go on their own personally con-
| Quoted rabbit hunts, and come home with
bulging sides. Both Of the Arundel-on-
the-Bay clubhouses will open next week.

arrives.
The Woman's Civic League closed its
sessions for 1913 with a splendid record
Of work, accomplished in perfect har
mony. Seven business meetings and five
entertainments mark a strenuous six
weeks campaign. Not only has the pa
vilion been put in thorough condition and
its usefulness and beauty enhanced and
prolonged life insured by much paint
and revamping. but there is a comfort
able surplus in hand for next years
labors. AS before announced, these plans
include running track and ball and
tennis grounds for the younger set and
a cooperative grocery store, by which
every one, cottager and camper alike,
can get the best groceries at city prices
without the expense and delay of sending
to Annapolis. This lack OF proper food
supplies has been a drawback to easy
housekeeping, which the ladies intend 10
rectify. A committee in charge of ac-
cumulation, cash. and making purchases
for this most important part of Civic
League work is headed by Mrs. J. C.
Courts, of Washington, assisted by Mes
DANES Weller. Graham, O'NeilI, and Miss
Margaret Shea.
Arundelites are proud OF their spotless !
bill Of health, for there has not been a |
single case of illness here the entire |
summer. Several accidents of feet and |
ankles have kept the first aid corps in !
practice, but except for the coming of |
the stork to the family of the bailiff |
there has been absolutely perfect health !
in every home.
There are half a dozen citizens above |
seventy years of age, and several more |
than eighty. that have taken part in all |
the affairs" of the season, even to the |
exercise of the franchises delightful !

tonian.
Bailiff Taylor is being congratulated on |
the arrival OF the seventh son born in |
his family. In addition to this interest
ing number are two daughters, all born
in the village, quite enough of a record |
to invite visit from the census man.
Mr.. Herbert Schneider, of Washington.
is being congratulated on his luck in
drawing the splendid cake at the recent
cake carnival. There were three-score u
chances on the beautiful confection
brought from Washington for the occa-
sion, and the odds were, therefore, very
long" With characteristic chivalry, L
Mr.. Schneider at once rendered the cake
to his hostess, Mrs. Lincoln Townsend,
who, with equally characteristic gener-
osity. cut it in pieces and sent it to
friends all over the town.
Mayor Thomas w. Smith, wife. and |!
daughter, Miss Maud, are expected
shortly at Concord Cottage. after a de-
ightful month among the Thousand Is
lands.
