SLAUGHTER BEACH

This week marks the climax of the
season for this resort. Most of those
people who come to the beach for a
short time have a preference for this
week because it is the week of Big
Thursday" Just now every cottage
is full, and some are almost over
flowing, with guests. But pretty
soon the story will be different. Peo-
pie will be going home to get the
children ready for school and an
other season at the shore will be
passed.
To begin this letter we must go
back a bit, to Wednesday of last
week. On that day at one o'clock
Mrs. S. M. d. Marshall gave a
luncheon and an afternoon of cards
for her house guests, Miss Elsa Pc
terson and Miss Ethel Moore, of Phil
adelphia. The other guests were
Mrs. Willard Pierce, Mrs. George II.
Draper, Jr., Mrs. C. d. Holzmueller,
Mrs. Elmer T. Williams and Mrs. G..
Marshall Townsend.
On Wednesday evening Sammy
Marshall celebrated his fifth birth
day. AS the Marshall yard is a reg
ular playground and is equipped
with many Of the necessary things
to make a playground success, the
children had a pslendid time and
were glad to help Sammy celebrate.
Thursday afternoon Mrs. Elmer
Williams gave a luncheon in honor
of Miss Elsa Peterson and Miss Ethel
Moore. Afterwards cards were play
ed. Mrs. Williams guests were Mrs.
S. M. d. Marshall, Mrs. l. ID. Short,
Mrs. William Smith, Mrs. Mortimer
Browning. Mrs. c. d. Holzmueller,
Miss Edith Simpson, Mrs. Willard
Pierce, Mrs. George II. Draper, Jr.
and Mrs. G. Marshall Townsend.
The Volunteer Glass of the Avenue
NJ. E. Sunday school gave a lunch
con at the cottage of Mrs. John w.
Burris on Friday. Each member
helped in some way and the affair
was a real success. The tables were
most attractive with flowers of the
season and many we're placed in
vases around the room and added to
the festiveness of the occasion.
About 55 guests were served a lunch
con that was delicious. The class
felt it was we'll worth the effort TO
bring together so many people VINO
were glad to have a meal at the
shore and at the same time help a
worthy organization.
On Saturday Mrs. Willard Pierce
gave a luncheon for Miss Moore and
Miss Peterson. Mrs. Pierce's other

Jr., Mrs. S. M. D. Marshall, Mrs. q.
D. Holzmueller, Mrs. Stephen Toad

afternoon was devoted to cards ana
good time was enjoyed by every
one present. The guests Of honor
who have been so much feted return
cd TO their home in Philadelphia on
Monday, after a pleasant two weeks
with Mrs. Marshall
Fish still sceIn plentiful. On Fri
day morning of last week Captain
PIummer took a party of men from
Salisbury fishing and returned at
noon with Is fine trout. They looked
so good, they were weighed and tip
ped the scales at 247 pounds. Be
sides the trout the men also caught
bushel of crOakers. That sounds
as if Slaughter Beach was a good
place to chose for fishing. 1t is es-
pecially good that the men who take
fishing parties out, chose the places
where the fish are plentiful.
