y Earlier in tho season n was said
that there probably would be two or
three debutantes introduced during
the season, but appearances indicate
the abandonment OF the idea and Gus
: tom OF giving coming out" parties
$ which in the past was so much looked
j forward to, especially by the younger
r set. Is being abandoned. 1t Is now a
fact that the seasons debutantes are
0 attending the dinners and other social
functions without formal presentation.
1 The hours, from II to about I. have
. always been the popular bathing hours
D here, especially at Bailey's Beach, but
,. this summer late afternoon bathing
is becoming popular also This is espe-
, clally true of many who are subscrtb-
r ers at Rocky Farm beach. and there
! o'clock in the afternoon Is most
, favored. One some warm afternoons
{ this summer big crowds were at the
{ beach almost TO dinner time. The argu-
: mcnt Is being advanced that the late
, afternoon bathing has an advantage
, over the noon time dip. as the bather
escapes the per!ls OF the scorching
{ sun.
