Atlantic City, April 3.-A terrible
blow has been dealt that high and
cosmopolitan society which gathers
at this time every year to swarm the
Boardwalk Easter Sunday. Hotel
men have organized and declined to
allot suites to plutocratic purps.
This horrible edict is taken BY the
aristocrats as a direct affront. But
the hotel men are adamant. No dogs!
And that goes! Ours, poodles and
fancy specials are all relegated to .
common, rough general kennel,
where they must be checked like um-
brellas and hats, If you please.
Each hotel has employed q kennel
keeper and matron for the canine
nursery. When Fido has his air o.

and led by his mater. But she must
