white breakers and the next
under the expert guidance o
major domos.
THE club practically hangs
= over the placid Shrewsbury
River, with gay tables and bril-
liant yellow chairs, on a porch
shaded by orange awnings, in
side is a double bar, done in pale
yellow and rich blue, then there
is a cocktail lounge done in blue
and white and last of all the
beautiful Meridian Room, with
it's tricky, indirect lighting of
pale rose and azure blue, it's
glowing urals, tremendous
windows fashioned like port
holes, and-Charlie Murray and
his Mon Paris orchestra there
every night from eight until
four. Until one has danced to
this orchestra, one has definitely
missed-s ON ct hing. Their
rythmn is perfect, three violins
are just as blue in their melo-
dies as any trumpet that ever
blew; little Johnny Sorin is
wizard with the drums and
Charlie Murray, himself, not
only directs, plays the saxo-
phone. sings, but handles the
maracaS with the ease and
graceful precision of castanets.

Johnny OSTERSTOCK, Joe
- Chevalier and Joe Fernadez,
the latter two, if you remember,
own Mon Paris in New York,
own the Club, have practically
no time to follow the program
they outlined for us, which was
a late and leisurely breakfast, a
swim in the ocean, a long sun
ming on the beach, a nap and
then dinner, at nine. We
watched all three of them Sat-
urday night when the club was
so crowded. that even the cock
tail lounge had to be used for
dinner and they worked harder
than the bus boys, keeping an
eye on everything and every
body.
CLOTHES for the femmes up
~ here are no end varied.
Stacks and sweaters for tea time
and satins, chiffons, printed lin
ems, luxurious silver fox capes
and those cunning pastel shaded
jacket of angora, at dinner.
Yachts arrive all during Che day
at the club and Sunday morn
ing a large shining one called
the Edmar and belonging to
Major (radio fame) Bowes,
stopped past the club with a
group for early luncheon.
A LBERT, the maitre d'hotel,
"A was so busy telling us all
the celebrities, the 9th e r
night, that We nearly forgot to
eat the excellent dinner. Ex-
cellent is the right word, too,
and one seems to forget all
about dieting the minute one
sets foot inside this place.
HARRY FOSTER WELSH,
IL the original Popeye, was
here the other night with Dick
Hym,an and gave an impromptu
show that brought down the
house. He was just here from
Hollywood, and his voice effects,
which have made him famous
in the film capital and New
York, are honestly remarkable.
0N THE dance floor we saw
" Col. Reed kirkpatrick,
president of Madison Square
Garden, the John Selby, jrs.,
Malcolm Taylor, the Howard
Strauses, the G. Mellick, jrS.,
the Despards, the H. E. Buffers,

AND NOW we are going to

looking out of the window that
is a restful view of the ocean,
pack our bags, and come back
home, plus several new freckles.
