and fishing took the lead as favored
seashore pastimes this week, after
pioneers at surf bathing discovered
that prolonged shivers followed dips
In the still chilly surf. Although the
days were brilliant with sunshine the
water still retains a considerable quota
OF Its winter nip and several hostesses
who had planned surf bathing parties
for weekend guests changed their
plans and took their parties to big
indoor pools, where the newest
wrinkles in bathing rigs were on view.
The yachtsmen were happy over spank
ing breezes and a run of millions of
mackerel and bluefish made big catches
sure for the veriest tyros who risked
NAL de mer to make trips to outside
fishing banks. Chefs in hotels smiled
over plethoric tips for preparing the
catches. and departing sportsmen and
sportswomen insisted on carrying their
strings for display of their prowess
with rod and reel.
