SLAUGHTER BEACH

J we are having cool and delightful
weather here. Those of us who re.
manned are enjoying a season OF re-
ireshing pleasure. The sea has been
rough, and TO those who are not timid
oathing has been a luxury. The young
people seem to have. great fun in the
evenings when they gather around
the several bonhres and roast cara
mels. Their merry laughter, as it
comes to us on the breeze, indicates
that their lives are full OF pleasure.
There Is no thought OF tomorrow.
May their young lives always be filled
with joy
The promenade along the water
front has been named Lovers Lane"
1t IS much used by those young cou-
pies who are experiencing their first
lessons in love, sometimes called
puppy love- 1t is amusing TO watch
the movements OF the young folks
when the parting hour arrives.
Mr. and Mrs ]. p. Cross of Bowers
Beach were welcome visitors to this
beach on Thursday OF last week. Mr.
and Mrs. Cross resided here for sew
eral years and made a host of friends.
Rumor says they are coming back
here to live again. AL hope it is true
we need them.
The Grangers of Slaughter Neck
held a business meeting in the Ben
nett cottage on Thursday of last
week. Many were in attendance and
all expressed themselves as having a
pleasant time
George Coverdale, wife and daugh-
ter, Miss Rachel, and Mrs Martha /
Warren, all Of Glendale and Fred /
erick and wife OF Oakley are occupy (
ing the Macklin cottage for a week /
Miss Ann Grier OF Milford has been /
spending few days with her cousin
Miss Margaret Grier, at the Grier
cottage
Dr. r. E. Ellegood and wife, accom-
panied by Mrs. H. B. Duncan, left for /
their home in Wilmington last Sun
day.
Quite a few guests remain at the
Hotel Groin at this writing. They
seem loath to leave. Old Slaughter
still has the power to attract and hold
those who come to its shores.
George S. Grier and family after
spending very pleasant summer at
their cottage here, lett for their home
in Milford Sunday evening.
In the last two years the cottages
here have been broken into and goods
stolen from them. Those cottagers
who are leaving their cottages until
next season are putting identifying
marks on all goods left in the build
ngs. They hope in this way to de-
-ect the person or persons who have
been engaged in this nefarious work.
Mr.. and Mrs. !. A. Ellegood and
Miss May Thayer, who have spent
he summer in their cottage here,
rave returned to their home in FL :
endale. !
l regret TO say my vacation is over :
nd | must say farewell TO Slaughter !
Beach and the many friends l shall r
cave behind. My stay here has been =
very pleasant one and | have en- r
Dyed every moment OF my time spent /
ere l leave here with greater love t
or Slaughter Beach than ever before.
think one OF the greatest family re- v
orts in Delaware is here. A little +
loney, combined with a little energy, o
ould make this beach a grand sum- 2
Ier place. We look forward to next
,ason when we belive the necessary I,
forts will be put forward TO improve Il
nd make this beach more attractive. d
hope to see a new hotel, new pa o
lions, new boardwalks, and improv- V
| roads As this will be my last let fl
r until next season, l will say adieu. Il
