pour of rain in the afternoon which
sent most of the people here for the
day scurrying to their cars or in
the hall or hotel. Many left at that
time, but there was good number
who were here for the day and eve-
ming, and they stayed until their
time was spent. 1t is rather dis
couraging to all that the one day
in the year to which most folks look
forward to, should be so disagree
able. Weather has been the topic
OF conversation this week as we'll
as last. Monday was a delightful
day, but on Tuesday the cool north
breeze brought into use all of the
freplaces on the beach. There may
be more hot weather during the days.
but the nights will be just right for
sleeping and rest.
