Fishing Is Favored
Sport At Seaside

Scant relief from the weather
man, after long prevalence of the
heat wave, appears to have ex-
tended the lure of Seaside Park,
so that crowds continue this week
to demonstrate the popularity of
the Chesapeake Beach resort.
From the opening of the sea-
son with the National Press Clubs
barbecue on May 20, and through
the long weekend celebration
climaXed by Labor Day, Seaside
has grown in favor with pleasure
seekers, so that the current sea-
son has been notably successful.
Fishing is particularly popular
right now, but there is no sign
of waning either at the salt
water bathing pool or in the
boardwalk pavilion where Jar
boe's Nighthawks continue their
syncopating tunes for the joy of
dancers.

They Refuse Kate

Kate Smith has outgrown the
washington salary limit. The
buxom warbler rates $4,000 q
week for her bit as head of the
Swanee revue, which has been
playing the larger picture houses.
With wire charges for her radio
engagements the entire cost of
the act is more than $500. Too
much money for the D. c. stages.
With picture theaterS in her

She Looked Perfect

She Looked Perfect
All, that girl! To Mr.. Fem
berg she was the very essence
OF perfection. She was a Peggy
Joyce, a Clara Bow, a Janet
Gaynor and a Jean Malin all
rolled into one. She was his
honey lamb, his favorite flower
and bis most gorgeous statue.
I hate to spoil the picture,
but were you and to look at
Mildred in those days, we
might not be as enthused as
Mr.. Feinberg. In the first
place, the young lady's eyes
could grow very cold. And in
the second place, she talked
back too often. Accordingly,
brothers, let me give you tip:
When you're in love with a girl
whose eyes grow cold and who
talks back too frequently,
that's no time for romance.
That's the time for you to pack
your bag and settle down alone
in Alaska.
But Mr.. Feinberg did not ask
for my advice. Furthermore, as
usual, it would have done no
good. For when Mildred's eyes
grew cold, Mr.. Feinberg thought
they were more beautiful than
ever. And when she talked
back, he was proud of her
spirit. And so, alas, they were
married. =.
For a year or so, everything
was peaches and milk. Mr..
Feinberg was getting along as
nicely as you might expect and
he hadn't failed in the dress
business. And he was devoted
to Mrs. Feinberg in spite Of her
nagging.
Yes, my friends, even Mr..
Feinberg had begun to admit
that she was something of
nag. Never content to let we'll
enough alone, you know. If
his business earned a profit of
$500 in one week, she wanted
to know why it hadn't earned
$400. If he smoked cigars, she
asked him not to smoke at all.
One night, out of. a cloudy
sky-juSt to be different-the
blow fell. Mrs. Feinberg put
down her coffee and looked at
her husband.
What you are going to do"
she said, is to change your
name"
