i children. according to very conserva

clustering on the shores of the Pribylo
Islands.
| The colors worn by the maids ant
| matrons were never so variegated-
| blue. red, green and even yellow. bu
black .predominates, and at a distance
all blend into black. The bathing sui
| barons are reaping their annual har'
vest. the inlet yachtsmen are garner
ing the sheckels, the Boardwalk mer-
chants are making UP for the slack
ness of the early season. while the At
1antic City hotels report better sea
son than ever before.
. Three hundred thousand men, women
and, children, from all parts of the
United States and Canada, spent the
week end at Atlantic City. The resort
with normal population of $4,000. en-
tertained the great throng without the
semblance of hitch-possibly the
only city of its size in the world tina,
could accommodate such a number o1
strangers with comfort.

were thronged. From the inlet to Chel-
ers and the deck Of the Wooden Wa,
was jammed with promenaders.

merry best and the next two Sundays
promise to be the high-water mark OF
the 1914 season.
