A POLITE’ DISTINCTION. T is a gratification to LiFe to know that the fracas be- tween the two Newport gentlemen, both of whom are endorsed by Mr. W—d McA—s—r, was not a vulgar affair induced by a coarse interchange of low epithets. We learn from the 7ymes that Mr. Lawrence did not call Mr. Whipple a liar, but that “he admits that his statement that. Mr. Whipple knowingly wrote or said what he was confident he (Whipple) beheved not to be in accordance with the facts might be construed in a manner prejudicial to Mr. Whipple's veracity.” MELIE RIVES CHANDLER'S novel, “The Quick or the Dead,” is to be translated into French, How shocked Paris will be! > . . . < rE O it has been decided at last how long a bathing-suit may be worn without the morals of the wearer being deteriorated by the contact. According to the proprietor of Asbury Park, one hour is the limit at which the bene- ficial effects cease, and the retro- grading influence begins. If somebody, Mr. W—d McA—s—r for instance, would go to the trouble of making experiments as to the length of time one may “wear a balledress without injury, the world would be the better off. It is, perhaps, worth while to bear in mind that more physically harmful results ensue from ball-dresses than from bathing-suits, but we believe that that question is not considered at the Asbury Park Beach any more than it is in New York ball-rooms. FRESH AIR FUND Before After BANDS of delighted children ate constantly being sent into the country by means of the money whose receipt is recorded in these columns, They are taken from hot pavements, steaming gutters and close, unventilated bedrooms out into the fresh country air. These little creatures are unfamiliar with butterflies and clover and the odor of flowers, Every three dollars you send us enables another child to go, and there are many thousafids of them still waiting. Take a stroll some warm evening through the slums of the city and judge for yourself. Previously acknowledged . Arthur L. Brandegee. |. | StatenIsiand se Chas.
