ATLANTIC CITY. July Ito tango
on the beach is one of the latest
pleasures of the younger set since
the appearance of the municipal band,
which plays at different points on the
Boardwalk each morning. Down in Chel-
sea Monday morning the fashionable cot
tagers danced on the hard, smooth beach
before their dip in the ocean. And the
girls found it delightful not to be both
cred with long tight skirts. The short.
attractive bathing costumes are the long
sought-for dancing gowns.
This stretch of shore that lay isolated.
wind-swept and sand-waste from the be-
ginning of things up until short half
century ago is swinging into its annual
summer stride once more. Last Sunday
more than 10000 strangers were enter
tanned within Atlantic City's gates.
The entertainment of such a throng
by an inland town of 10000 Inhabitants
would go down in that municipality 9
history as bigger day than that upon
which the Declaration of Independence
was signed, but 1t is such a common
place, everyday occurrence down here
during the summer season that Atlantic
Cityans merely wonder silently when they
read of it when the 100000 mark will
be reached.
For Atlantic City is travelling onward
toward the 100000 mark again: it does
every summer, and reaches 1t and passes
it, too.
Three hundred thousand persons-men.
women and children from every nook
and Granny in the land-cause the hew-
ers of wood and drawers of water within
the resorts gates to do some tall huS-
Ting during the height of the summer
season. and the aforesaid hewers and
