ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. T. Leaden
skies. frequent drizzles and rough surf
put damper on outdoor pleasures yester-
day and the majority OF visitors spent
the time In hotels and cottages, where
impromptu musicaies, bridge and pinocle
contests and dances were held. The
dyed. .in-the-wooi bathers did not let
gray day keep them out Of the water
but took keen pleasure In buffeung the
waves. which were lashed into fury by
high winds Numerous promenaders with
wet-weather clothing enjoyed the walk as
much as II the sun had been shining
The postcard habit is still strong with
the majority Of the visitors here. Al.
though the price OF the cards is small
and the rents Of Boardwalk stores are
equal to those Of Chestnut street and
Broadway shops, all thrive. The sale OF
cards runs into the millions every season
here.
GIRLS WEAR RIBBON BANDS.
Young girls are now using bands OF
ribbon on their foreheads, both as pro-
lection for their tresses from the winds
and for adornment. The ribbons used
vary from the "baby-ribbon" size TO
broad bands one inch in width All colors
are used, but this new method OF head
dressing is only worn when hats are dis
carded
Tho feminine visitors fad Of carrying
mems canes has entirely disappeared.
The passing OF this style is due to the
DISAPPEARANCE of the "mannish' attired
woman from the Boardwalk. Articles OF
attire are now distinctive. as regards the
sexes. Few women wear hats or shoes
that are patterned after those worn by
mon; tallor-made costumes are things OF
the past and the summer girl goes in for
the light fiuffy costume.
Jitney riding through the cottage dis
trict is a night diversion that is becom-
Ing very popular in the early evening
