ATLANTIC CITT, N. J., Julr I. To the
Editor of The Bee: The bathsuits used
so tar this season at Atlantic City are fur
Uned, with lung sleeves, and a pair of leg
fines can be had for the asking:, so that
while It seems a bit cold at times, the
temperature need make no difference to
those desiring to go Into the surf, and yes
terday a number of New Yorkers went In
without their new "top-coats," which Is
construed by the tenderfoot to mean "sum
mer now Is here."
The piers and casinos provide fine at
tractions, while the endless promenade on
the boardwalk, with Its fun and fashion,
beauty and banter, wit and wealth, la an
Unwearying and' fascinating study, and the
only one of Its kind anywhere. There used
to be a time In which ths newly-married
spent 'their honeymoon In seclusion or at
Stme quiet place away from the heartless
case of an unsympathetic public, but that
age seems to have passed away, If the re
cent experiences ot one of our supreme
Judges U at nil typical. It seems that the
Judge tried to slip awuy from his friends
and thought to surprise them, but though
he was murrlcd at "high noon" out In
Jersey and muJe a bee-line tor this mael
strom of humanity, before 6 at night he
was recognised by a dozen friends on the
promenude, and had to plead guilty and
waive examination. In fart, the Judge offers
no apology to the gaping public for his
bit of bliss.

conspicuous pluci-a, begging the unwary to
beware of "wooers who hsd been to war,"
and delicately refer to the "Hobson habit"

of these warnings the brass buttons have

have done strenuous duty at the evening

A lot of remnants of Philadelphia's old

What the Women Ar. Dotagr.
Around the verandas the topics of con
versation vary from the Japanese war
to whether Bryan will balk at St. Louis,
and while the women wonder "whether
the Christian religion Is slowly expiring"
and "how old Ann is," the servant ques
tion will bob up occasionally, and fashion
figures. The New York and Baltimore
women have decreed that the walking
pump must go and that ths Oxford, with
three holes on a side, reefed together with
grosgrain ribbon. Is positively the only
footgear to exhibit, and ths btel must be
Cuban. ,
Ths latest fad In summer hats Is the
"Russian." It is heavily covered with
Japanese feathers and flowers and Is a
triumph. As to looks and wear, it Is a
match for the very smart "kldskln"
waistcoat for evening wear, which the
ultra fashionable young men are affecting
this year.
The sea-serpent has not yet come out
of winter water, and there is nothing do
ing in fish stories; there has not been one
told this year one could not believe.
Fourth on the Board Walk.
A week later: Of course no one expects a
woman to finish a letter at one writing,
and, besides, I forgot to tell you about the
Fourth of July celebration. It was a day
long to be remembered. Aside from the
fact that it was Independence day and the
100th anniversary of the birthday of Haw
thorne, It was such an all-round fine day.
Atlantlo City was at Its beat with banners
in the wind and bedecked with its cele
brating colors. It welcomed the visitors
with a cordiality that gave us a pang ot
homesickness. The board walk was a sight
from early morning 'till late at night and
the Jolly crowd In their fresh new clothes
was a spectacle to behold. Seventy thousand
visitors took a dip in the surf between I
and o'clock.
"Ten carloads of Chicago and Des Moines
Shrlners arrived Sunday night," said a man
on the board walk, last night, just as one
I'nlon Faciflo freight man might speak to
I another about certain transportations that

"Arabs" a Evidence.
The "fet" Is the most popular headgear
and thousands of them are worn by the
women visitors as a tribute to the "Arabs"
who have braved the sands to come to this
coast. It Is said that- the advance sale of
"lemonade" la greater than has ever been
known by anyone since the "tidal wave"
swept thla shore, and a "maiden debutante"
from Boston remarked to a friend, confi
dentially, that she "hoped this year's fes
was constructed of rubber," If the members
designed to wear it throughout the entire
session. If she had any reason to offer for
this hope It was lost to us behind a copy

Ths city Is a "waving banner," and the
niitnherless variety of badges and other dec-
orations of the Ancient Arabic Order of the
Mystlo Shrine attest ths admiration of the
general public to this noble tribe of highly
civilised Indians. The two or three so
journers from the banks of the Big Muddy
who happen to be here felt some disappoint
ment that none of the nobles from Tan
gier temple were registered, but in a cau
cus called on purpose they concluded in
concert that they might have kept to their
camp to help "crack Ice" for ths "remains"
of ths St. Louis convention.
How a Woman Dives.
Last Saturday was regarded by hotel
men as ths beginning of the mid-summer
rush, and was. marked by Increased num
bers ot bathers on ths beach. The water
for the last few days has been of nno
temperature and everybody who had or
could obtain a bathing suit rushed Into
th tr Tt la an rtlriomln thla n.rn
to learn to dive, and the casino is orowded
with girls and women trying to acquire
this little accomplishment, and the amus
ing scenes that grow out of this inclina
tion are numerous and varied and have
In them possibilities, but the universal
conclusion seems to ba that women and
girls do not dive well In the water. They
always seem to light on their feet like the
storied cat and set up a yell for "Help!"
and the patrolman frequently lets a "fine
swimmer" drown while he leads a "young
and beautiful" diver out of six Inches of
water. The primary difficulty seems to
arise from the young woman's trying to
"swallow the swell" Instead of being con
tent to be swallowed by the wave.
Last Saturday night's dances, the first
at the better hotels, entirely did away with
the idea that no opportunity was to be
given to the "girl with the pretty neck"
and brought out the best gowns. Even
the "dado decorations" were handsomely
gowned and everybody who was at all able
hopped some.
Helps Oat Some.
The tendency to wear a covering of lcoa
over the summer tan on the neck and
shoulders, and. Incidentally, to conceal the
collar bone from too public view, gains
ground, and ths decollette gown of a few
years ago rarely gets a show in good so
ciety. The fine ball given In honor of the visit
ing Shqlners at Steel pier Wednesday night
equaled In style and numbers those of
Newport and Saratoga In their palmy
daya, before "the folks" became too blace
to dance naturally and enjoy themselves,
and it stirred up sums sleeping memories
In the mind of the writer of a day when
one went to a dance to dance Instead of
being a spectator to soms hired perform
ance or show, or asked to "bridge" over I
the evening with a lot of people who all I
came for something other than the lnvl- j
tatlon would indicate they might reason- i
sbly expect true, that Is another story

Just before leaving for Omaha the .class
from the Nebraska School for the Deaf,
Which had been In attendance at the ex
position for a month as a' part of the ex
position social science exhibit, gave an
Interesting Illustration ' of the school's
methods of teaching. This exhibition was
given at the Nebraska headquarters before
a large audience of teachers, specialists and
others Interested In the education of the
unfortunate. It consisted of Hp reading,
speech teaching and finger talking. The
class was In charge of Superintendent
Steward and the guests of Mr. A. E. Cope,
superintendent of social science for the

"The firm ot Clay, Robinson A Co. of

Challenger while being fattened for the
show at the University of Nebraska, at
the International at Chicago Immediately
after winning his honors and as he cow
stands, mounted on a pedestal In the
center ot the Nebraska exhibit In the Pal
ace of Agriculture. The statement ac
companying ths photographs reads as fol
lows: "With animals, as with men. some
are born great, some achieve greatness and

To Challenger, born and reared In the quiet
obscurity of a Nebraska farm, there has

Twice, once in life and again in death,
has he stood, ths cynosure of all eyes, at
two mighty expositions. At the Interna
tional of 1901 he was crowned victor and
king and at the World's fair of 19J4 he
holds high court and gazes (albeit with
glassy stare) at the multitudes which pass
before him. The cunning art of the taxi

and the great steer stands today as the
crowning feature of Nebraska's exhibit at

Mr. Stevens, a member of the Buffalo
