BUSY SUMMER
IS SEEN FOR
BEACHES
An unprecedented pilgrimage of

An unprecedented pilgrimage of
"city folks" to waterfront homes
this summer was the unanimous
prediction of real estate represen'
tatives canvassed by The Times.
To bear out their statements,
builders and agents pointed to the
great increase in the number of
new homes being built on the shore
lines of Chesapeake Bay at its
tributaries.
Some builders reported conStruc-
ton tripled over last years figure,
and lot owners and agents de-
clared their properties are selling
"as fast as we can interview
clients"
Many Private Sales
Most Of the new construction is
being done at developed beach
communities, according to The
Times survey, but many sales of
private, uncleared property have
been recorded.
To further fire the optimism of
the realtors, 1t was pointed out by
many that the usual rush period"
does not begin until mid-April or
early May.
One builder, who said he had
built about 125 shore homes in
the last three years, declared today
he has contracted to ouild more
than so this year.
The entire bay area from the
Magothy River to Point Lookout
is included in the BOOM" but

ton agents and firms apparently

South and west rivers. and the
bay front, the survey showed.
Much RemodeIing
Much repair and remodeling
work is also being contracted for,
it was found.
Boat builders-both firms and
individual Carpenters are get
ting more business. One small
builder in Annapolis reported he
had found it necessary to turn
down orders for boats because he
cannot contract for more work
than he already has on hand.
Public beach resorts. which last
year reported their gate receipts
better than for a long time" eX-
pect even better crowds this year,
it was found, with many planning
to enlarge their facilities.

and everybody's desire to "get out

Manners
of the
Moment

WE THINK it would be a fine rule
for households with children if
the parents promised not to play with
the childrens toys until New Year
Day. That would give the children
whole week in which to enjoy their
toys before the old man broke them
up. And We rather thing Santa Claus
would be very happy about it.
OF course, there are moments dur
ing Christmas Day when daddy has
to show Junior how to work the switch
on the train tracks. But there's no
reason why daddy has to hang on to
the switch. the train and the tracks
for the next two hours while Junior
stands on the outskirts gnashina his
teeth.
Or course. it might be nice II some
body had given daddy a train for
Christmas, too. Then he could play
in the dining room, while Junior
played in the living room. But if
nobody thought Of thar. then the day
Is going to be hard one all around.
Maybe Junior could retaliate by
making lasso out of all OF daddy's
Christmas neckties. But we'd hate
to start fight. So We won't suggest
that.
The best thing, We think is for tlo
adults to swear off all toys until mex.

OF wishful thinking on the part of air
transportation lines. Today, it is an
actually, no matter what the trans
portation vehicle. Women have learned
that 1t saves time and trouble to
travel light And the beauty mart
has helped, no end.
Here, to name a few, are new
beauty tricks that the traveller could
easily Niterally) tuck up her sleeve
Little fiat cotton discs are chemically
treated to remove dust. CRIME, make
up. They do a thorough job and leave
light film as powder base. besides.
For a short trip, few of these cotton
pads, a few cleansing tissues and ones
makeup are all the beauty aids neces-
sary. The moist pads are packed in
q jar and for double measure there's e
compact wrapped with the jar. not
unlike the compacts that contain
rouge or powder It contains a dozen
or two dozen of the tiny pads. It Is
thin as q wafer and tucks into a cor
ner Of ones purse.
Another neat trick is case that
looks, for all the world, like an over
grown lipstick and proves to be four
little compartments screwed into one
cleansing cream, powder base. lip
rouge and eye-shadow. 1t is practi-
cally beauty kit and it takes up no
room at all. I can see 1t going on
short train rides, on airplane hops, to
football games and dances.
With kits like this and the cleans
ing pads just described; with perfume
in dram bottles or in leak-proof little
atomizers, with the indispensable
cleansing tissues available in packets
the size Of match packages with sew
ing emergency kits put up in thimbles;
and with compacts that contain pow
der, dry rouge, cream rouge, lipstick,
shadow and eyelash brush in unbe-
lievably small space or manicure kits
in wafer-thin boxes. the travellers lot
becomes easy indeed.
Take cleansing cream and tissue
cream, If you are travelling North, to
smooth out a drawn. pinched look,
and lip pomade, lipstick, cream and
dry rouge, powder-pud, lash brush
