cutting, FASTING, basket weaving and
fancy work will be taught the children

The Wild wood Yacht Club had one
of the largest over-Sundays in its
history last week, when nearly fifty
dinners were served by Mrs. Otilla Hess
and upwards of n hundred and fifty
guests were entertained during the day.
The reputation of Mrs. Hess for we'll
served dinners is doing Its work and
dinner parties are frequently arranged
at this comfortable club house. 1t was
largely this fact that caused the
management of the Hotel Ottens to
engage Mrs. Hess as head chef for their
evening service in the grotto, which
position this estimable lady, who is
well known in Cape May and Atlantic
City as well as on this beach, has de-
cided to take, provided her double
duties are not too exacting. At any
rate, the Ottens had a large night
Saturday In the grotto, and among
other people seen there was the Chand-
Ter party Of bankers, of Broad and
Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, who
came in their family limousine the
Disstons, the well known saw people,
who had a large party registered at the
Hotel Ottens, and a number of other
leading Philadelphia families. The
Chandler party had a jolly grabbing
time on the cruiser yacht "Colonel.n
The Hotel Ottens dance Wednesday
night was a downright success as &c
numbers and gaiety many handsome
gown were noticed among the cottage
contingent and a few Cape May people
were present.
There is what newspaper men cal
"a big storyn which went over oul
heads last weeks concerning Station
Agent James, who was kidnapped BY
a Philadelphia express, and mucf
against his will was taken TO PhiIadel
phia in spite of a rather lengthy anc
heated argument between himself anc
the conductor of the train. Probably
Mr.. james will provide an interview OF
the part of some of our enterprising wa
correspondent.
North Wildwood has a rather de
lightful and interesting feature on it
beach in a group of eight or ten ponies
which are under the management o
Bryn Mawr Horse Show people, Mrs.
Grant and her sister, Miss Ellsmore
Each day the ponies can be seen trot
ting around Surf Avenue and along tn,
beach at low water with children
thereon, and considering the fact tina
these young ladies take excellent car
of the children and do not allow them
to ride unattended, horseback riding
will undoubtedly become extremely
popular among the children of the
beach as well as the older folks, whom
these ladies will tutor in eque~strianism

MI. Ottens has arranged a surprise
for the participants in the regular even
ing dance at the Hotel Ottens for July
