vent Might bathing, but the hundreds OF

breezes brought horde of mosquitoes to
the Jersey resorts, and wildwood re-
eeived its share. with the result that the
boardwalk was Il gay carnival with num-
berless colors In gigantic mosquito brush
es OF tissue paper, and the toy shops
reaped harvest from their sale and the
sale OF Chinese punk. The promenaders
used ore hand to burn incense to the
Chinese idols and the other 10 wave the
colors of the rainbow, and incidentally
created little amusement for themselves
by using the mosquito brushes for tick
lers until the promenade resembled the
| CITY Hall square on New Years Eve.
Ocean breezes and the demise of the mos
quito horde restored the feelings of the
| city to normal temperature Wednesday,
and the coolness accompanying the
] change caused the appearance of a few
| thousand more silken sweater coats, so
popular with the feminine contingent this
| season.
