On Beach
A CAFE CRISIS

REHOBOTH BEACH, July 26.
A large part Of the Washington
Diplomatic corps is turning
"High Yaller" on the Rehoboth
sands.
Many gentlemen Of the corps,
left from the crowd who have
gone abroad to confer with their
own governments, dash across
the bay every weekend for a
Saturday and Sunday dip in the
ocean. And for an informal
luncheon or dinner and as many
invitations to stop by the house
on your way from the beach" as
they can sustain.
It's a relaxin' life down here.
Gay as you Iant to make it.
There's the ocean to walk into
when the temperature climbs too
high. This week we have the
Art Exhibit for our aesthetic
spirit. Always there's the tap
room when personal invitations
are scarce.
Which reminds me that a fid'
dler crab walked :lto the tap
room unannounced the other
night. AS he scuttled side-wise
across the floor, startled lady
and gentlemen tapsters looked
UP from their gin and rye and
exclaimed:
"Great Heavens, has it come
to this!"
And the walters, swishing at
the crab with their apron, said:
That's alright, Miss. That's
alright, sir. That's a real, sure.
enough animal. Don't you
worry"
The Finnish Minister and
Madame Jarnefelt are pleasant
additions to the diplomatic
colony here. They are staying
at the Homestead. Mr.. and
Mrs. w. S. Corkran took them
up the Henlopen Bay and In
dian River to see the Nanticoke
Indian Chief, Charles Clark.
Charles doesn't wear a tribal
costume. This is a pity. It
would be so becoming. He has
dignity. A costume would be
q dramatic advertisement for
his vegetables and hot dog
stand.
Chief CLARK directs the Gas
ISOLATION" which forbids its
Nanticoke members to mix" or
intermarry, with other races.
Mr.. John Lewis Smith has
composed a song, "Curley Does
Not Sing Tonight" He's going
to send it to the National
Geographic Society, attention
Mr.. John Oliver La GORGE.
This is why:
The hospitality of Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith is famous up and
down the Del-Mar-Vian PENN
Sula (DelMar-Vian - Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia, side by
side, so to speak,. The Smith
cottage up by the dunes has end
less bedrooms done in cool sum-
mer tintS Gall occupied over the
, weekend, big libraries and
porches, comfortable chairs and
settees, the scent Of the pine
woods and magnificent food and
drink.
Among the first guests Mr..
and Mrs. Smith entertained
when their cottage was built
were Mr.. and Mrs. La GORGE.
Mrs. Smith (ClaribeD asked Mr..
La GORGE (Jack) to name her
cottage.
! Jack La Gorce, who travels up
and down the hemisphere for
the National Geographic Soci-
ETY., believes in local names.
Remember-he called the hotel
| in Miami, the Flamingo.
Well, he asked the natural
born Rehobothians what was
their native bird. The curlew,
they told him. Fine, said Mr..
La Gorce-Curlew Lodge. Mrs.
| Smith was enthuSed with the
| suggestion. Had Curlew Lodge
put on station wagon and note
paper.
Mr.. La GORGE sent fascinat-
ing Geographic Society book on
birds ito the library of Curlew
LODGE" with this inscription:
Through your hospitality,
you will surely interest many
stray birdS-human as well as
otherwise. For Claribel and
John Lewis"
Marvellous, I said as I sat on
the porch at Curlew Lodge in
one Ct those new springy
Cs2eirs. slipping a Tom Collins.
"As1d are the Curlews nice
birdS?"
Said John Lewis:
Cant prove it by me. I've
never seen one"
