EW TORK. Sept. 7. If you are
tired of the starchy rub of a hard
boiled shirt. If your toes are sore
and cramped from the press of
triangular shoes, If you think the
caress of seaside breezes will cheer your
thinning thatch. In other words, If you
want to get right down to close acquaint
ance with old Ma Nature, the tent colony
at Rockaway beach might help some, cvun
though the season la waning and there Isn't
much time left for Arcadian experiments.
Around the big, nnlsy, glittering food
palaces, where the popping of champagne
corks punctuates the mar of the surf and
the sardonic honking of high power auto
mobiles drowns out the gentle, melancholy
ong of the bell buoys and the latest suc
cessful Broadway souhrette sweeps by tow
ing her fleet of wine agents and broker
persons and the waiter sticks a check for
18.70 In front of your nose every time you
breathe hard, there Is no rial Joy of life
for the man or woman who loves the sea
and the shore and the sunshine. Also It Is
fast, with the appetite of a dinosaur, and
a long loaf on the warming sands, with a
bit of a nap, perhaps.
Of course there was a little houseclean
Ing to do, but the women attended to that
neatly and with dispatch. Oil stoves, chaf
ing dishes and percolators for coffee made
housekeeping a snap In the colony.
In the course of the day fresh vege
tables and milk, with meat or Huh, had to
lie scouted for by the male members of the
colony", but usually these things were
brought by enterprising tradesmen, who
found that It was worth while to get the
trade of the tent colony.
After luncheon, served usually In the
open on nnpery spread over the sand, thu
women did fancy work and the men played
cards, bridge whist or a little poker 3-cent
limit and no fnJr to bluff or maybe took
another dip In the ocean. Dinner was
eaten cut of doors also In fair weather,
and then, with the coming of night, heads
began to nod and eyelids to droop. That
was about the usual routine of life in
the tent colony.

througti his two or three weeks of shore
Vacation, Is a cruel and bitter thing. He
has , to be done up all day In hot and
tuffy clothes. He misses the feel of things
altogether, and he goes back to work when
It la all over tired and dispirited and
grouchy wttlt everybody, Including himself.
Vacation for him has been a delusion and
a snare. He hasn't got a run for his
hundred.
That's the way the members of Rocka
way beach's tenl colony eiced up the sea
shore vacation proposition. Some of them
had money, some of them hadn't, but all of
them wanted to get tome real fun out of
their outing, to live a real life, be natural
and oopper the artificial.
They evolved theli plan slowly. Tents,
they figured, especially the small A tent,
accommodating two or three persons, were
inexpensive to begin with and cost little to
run. It a tent should be blown down or fall
over it could be put up again at the ex
' pense of small labor and profanity.
If the location wasn't good or a neighbor
Insisted on murdering poor tunes on a good
banjo It would be easy to move to another
pot As for supplies, they figured closely
en groceries, meat and milk, not to speak
of beer at $1 a case and found the larder
could be supported at ridiculously small
expense.
There ware no real estate agent to deal
with, Janitors to cajole or servant to
bother about. A fin stretch of clean white
beach near the sea and sufficiently re
moved from the racket of the hotels made
the site of the colony.
They started In living the simple life
ariy In the summer, when the sun got
pleasantly warm and the water had lost
lta chill. .As fast as some left to go back
to money grabbing others took their places,
and the colony has been running finely all
summer long.
First off they discovered the foolishness
of wearing clothes, ordinary street duds,
that la It was so pleasant and laiy and
In keeping with the spirit of things to Ho
around all day In a bathing suit and soak
MP the sunshine that after a while nobody
bothered about changing from bathing suit
to the customary wrappings.
Along about o'clock In the morning
there was no set hour because there were
no hard and fast rules in the colony and
everybody did as he pleased It waa time
to get up, climb Into surf togs and take a
plunge in the roller. After that break-
It was mighty seldom that anybody ap
peared In anything but a bathing- suit. If
a visitor happened to drop into camp all
done up In summer toggery he was about
a much of a curiosity a a man In a
bathing suit would be on Broadway. The
tent dwellers surrounded him, kidding him
gently, and If he or she hadn't brought
along a set of abbreviated clothes it was
easy to supply a suit Just to preserve the
sartorial harmony of things.
It wasn't long after the colony got
started until complexions were many

When wet weather came along, or a cool

side the poky little tents, there wa some
crowding, but that simply made thing
more Joyful. With the board and oil stove
and dishes and things, there was Just
enough room left for leg and feet and

on other portions of bodies that couldn't

They had their own concert, their own
dinner parties, their own beach picnic and
their own port, and they got to know
each other beneath the skin. The thing
that tickled them most of all. perhaps, was
to have a supercilious visitor from one of
the hotel stroll among the tent, saying
quite audibly:
"It's funny that people would choose to
live like thla. BtufTy, uncomfortable little
tents, bathing suit all day, anta in the
