to you all. but as far
- - as current social
news is concerned I might as
we'll be on the West Coast. AS
you know. for some time ! have
resorted to letters when distance
makes il impossible for me to do
my weekly stunt. Sometime l
shall be modern and ask for fan
mail covering these letters just
for the sake of your reactions.
Whether they are of interest, or
lonesome or just of plain indif-
ference to you. On this vaca-
tion am at Ocean City. Md, and
have as my hosts. Reverend and
Mrs. Ernest Hallman, who have
a house boat in which they have
spent many delightful summers.
It has been moved many times
but from what l can gather 1t
has come to its final resting
place. Henceforth it will serve
as a guest house. for they are
building a semi-bungalow on a
high elevation. from which they
can command a view of the
ocean, the Inlet, the harbor Sin
epuxent and Isle of Wight Bays.
A really beautiful spot. The
guest house idea is growing, and
from my viewpoint, seems the
ideal way to entertain. Certain
iy one could derive much plea
sure when visiting to feel she
could get out of the way Of a fam
lily for part of the day for the
benefit of hosts and guests. l
must not forget to say that l
am not the only guest. with me
are three other ladies'. who with
Mrs. Hallman, we're dear friends
of my teen age. have. in time.
looked back on that age as of SO
long ago. This. week in talking
over those good times. a magic
wand has been waved to make it
seem but yesterday. From early
morning until almost the mid
night hour we have talked and :
talked. AS I write it is only
Tuesday afternoon but we have
had four interesting days, and
those that remain of our visit
will not be different, l am sure.
We arrived on Saturday, coming
down in the faithful Hudson.
That evening we were on the
Boardwalk. Hundreds of people
passed me but there was no one
that / knew. It was a far cry
from the boardwalk of Slaughter
Beach. There crowds are rare
and I know almost everyone who
passes. 1t was interesting, how
ever, for I love to watch people.
Mr.. Hallman preached Sunday
morning at the Methodist Church
in Ocean City and we gave him
our loyal support by all being
present for the fine sermon he
preached from the subject Gods
Pulse" Monday was such fun,
at 9.15 we we're all over at the
harbor where some of the plea
sure and fishing boats ride their
anchors in peace and safety. Mr..
Hallman is the most enthusiastic
water dog. not to be a fisher
man or boatsman by trade. He
oves 1t and knows just how to
make everyone happy on a boat.
His boat Loco" had been made
.eady for a day in Sinepuxent
Bay. Some friends from Denton.
our in number. joined our six.
md we made a happy group. The
lame of the boat briefly says
Leave All Cares Ashore" This
We heartily did. 1t was good
lay for the claiming and crab
ing which followed. have never
'een known for my good be-
lavior on the water, so all day
glances were sent my
ray. Contrary to all expectations,
was a good sailor. CLANS were

fir. Hallman, and we ate them
n the boat. along with many
ther things that make picnic
inches so good. Some Of the
