cooperate with the scouts Thursday

to sing on that night. The show will
be an extra good one and the scouts
are out selling tickets. When you are
asked to buy, don't turn them away;
buy ticket, even though you don't

VISITORS COMPLIMENT PUB
L|CITY MANAGER BEEKMAN

Yesterday gentleman and lady
called at the Board of Trade and in
troduced themselves as CDR. and Mrs
Geo. A. van Wagenen, of Newark, N
j." The feature of the call which was
particularly pleasing, however, was
that they said they had come to Tar
pom Springs as result of some cor
respondence with the publicity man
ager of the Board of Trade, who had
courteously and satisfactorily answer
ed their inquiries, and now that they
are here they are delighted with the
place. DIR. and Mrs. van Wagenen are
cultured and much travelled people
and while at the Inn for a week or so,
wish to visit the attractive places of
interest near and about Tarpon
Spring.
1t is certainly refreshing to have a
call like this and be informed that
ones efforts are being rewarded.

MRs.E.C BOWEs ENTERTAINED
At HER CHARMING HOME sun.

Mrs. E. c. Bowes entertained par
ty of friends at her crystal Beach
home on Sunday evening.
To be entertained at this delightful
home is always a treat, and Sunday
was no exception. Those who gather
ed at the dinner table were Mr.. and
Mrs. J. E: Rebstock, of Crystal Beach;
Mrs. L. D. Frost, of st. Cloud; L. Van
Anden Frost and Miss Mabel I. Allen
of New York, and L. l.. Lucas and
wife. These besides the hostess and
Miss Florence Bolton, who is spending
the season with Mrs. Bowes, made
quite party and the entire evening
was one round of delight.
An added and unexpected feature OF
the entertainment was furnished by
little Alice Ballard, who did a skirt
dance to music furnished by the phon-
ograph. Oh, yes, to dance on Sunday
night is awful, maybe, but little Alice
is only two and half years old.
The guests wer delighted with the
latest songs of the great artists, which
Mrs. Bowes brought from the north.
Personally, we wish every day was
Sunday and we were to be entertain
ed by Mrs. Bowes.
