Rehoboth is justly popular with the
crowds Of Delawareans, who seek its
| pleasures.
There is something alluring and exciting
in the sight of the long beach, swept by
the surging ocean waves. In many ways
the resort is more desirable than Atlantic
City and Ocean City. There are no
| crowds, hence no Uttered beach, and
there is an air of friendly Delaware feeling
noticeable at Rehoboth. Here friends
meet friends, year after year, and the
young people gather each summer from
a radius Of 75 miles
The bathing is very fine though lack
of beach guards seems dangerous. Bath
ing suit restrictions are not even known at
Rehoboth. IL is an eminently proper
place where dimp,ed knees, are well
covered when my lady takes a dip, and
the unrestricted shimmy dancing is never
seen. Altogether it is strange no greater
effort is made to attract large crowds TO
the resort. IL might easily hold second
honors, despite the long and tiresome
journey TO reach il.

break the monotony of the trip-the
youth who calls Sandwiches"
