Special Dispatch to THE NEw York HERALD
MANAsoUAN. n. j., Dec. 13.--After
thoroughly investigating the feelings OF
representative members OF the younger
set here. the writer can report with
authority that they simply can't under
stand how the older generation could
get SO worked up about the little gir
party that was pulled of on the beach
few nights ago.
There is also practical aspect to the
affair that does not escape the attention
of the younger set, and that is that some
Of the hard boiled. cold storage eggs In
the town are so rolled over the un-
pleasant publicity which the place has
received that there Is grave danger OF
some Of the best bootleggers in town
being put out of business necessitating
the importation of hip bottles from
Asbury Park, Bradley Beach and other
coastal points. Which would be expen-
sive and inconvenient.
The tactics of the older generation
are absolutely incomprehensible to the
younger elite of Manasquan. Take, for
instance. the arrest of Ferdy Senior at
2 O'Clock in the morning at Brielle; the
drive in a cold. unheated automobile
asquan and the dramatic arraignment of
Ferdy in the chill room above the fire
house half an hour later. "All utterly
foolish and the silliest thing we've ever
heard" Is the composite opinion of the
younger set, and in this particular Con-
stable Cornelius. who made the arrest,
heartily concurs.
Parents Were on job.
When Manasquan first heard about the
hilarious party of seven boys and four
high shool girls being encountered on
the road from the beach by two constables
in lightless Ford. and the subsequent
rumors that several of the men were
pretty well boiled. and one of the girls
was somewhat ipcoherent. there was a
general scramble of respective parents
to deliver telling. but silent chastise-
ment. They felt they were quite adequate
to deal with the situation in the privacy
of their own dwellings, employing the
traditional weapons of outraged parent
hood-and they were willing to let it go
at that.
But an ubiquitous and energetic re-
porter of a neighboring newspaper dwell
at some length upon details Of the party,
using such terms as orgy" to describe
the general situation and ''paralyzed'
to describe the particular reactions of
the individual members. ard then
Manasquan rose in it's wrath and the
Town Council decided to stage an 'in-
vestigation.' Tuesday night the Council
met with a vengeance 1t not only met
but conversed in angry tones from s
o'clock in the evening until 2 o'clock
yesterday morning.
