Fruitless Efforts to Look Pretty in Bathing Costumes. Infantile Amusements on Land and Water. The Charming Lotta and the Notori- ous Edward Stokes, * Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Care May, N. J., Aug. 16.—Every one knows that Cape May is situated at the southern ex- tremity of New Jersey, and is one of the most fashionable watcring-placesin the United States. Philadelphians and Baltimoreans pour by hun- dreds every summer into this ‘City by the Sea,”” and hither also flock others from every State and city in the Union. The beach is said to be the safest on the Jersey coast, and' the Cape “Mayans boast that nobody can be drowned here except of their own free will, since a well- manned life-bost is on duty always in front of the principal hotels during bathing hours. And, if we may believe the gossip of the place, seli- destruction is not as easy as it might be with a whole ocean to drown in, for the story goes that an unhappy wife did her best the other day to find a watery rave, and was rescued by the life-boat whether she would or no. This season there has not been a single fatal accident, and, although several persons have been half drowned. either the life-boat orsome bather who could swim has managed to save them in good time. A young man from Philadelphia, membcr of a yachting party, was drowned re- cently at Sea Grove, a new bathing-place which within the past few years bas been established near Cape May light-honse, about three miles from here. Jt is said here that he was seized and drawn down by a shark, aud apprehensive people have since been on the watch for like fish here, but they have not made their appear- ance inside the bar, and outside of that nobody everbathes. Most of the shipping down the coast from New York, and ali of that from Philadelphia, passes within sight of the Cape. ‘At bathing hour they venture as near as possi- ble to shore to see the crowd in the water, and on a clear day we have-counted thirty sail clezrly visible to the naked eye. Some pass 60 near that the people on deck may be seen, and then a deafening shout gocs up from the bathers, to be answered by ringing cheers from the vessel thus greeted. It is a common saying here, asat other seaside resorts, that nobody is pretty in a bathing suit, and, though there are exceptions to the ruk, they are excertions which prove it. The ortho- dox style, which use has proved most conveni- ent and suitable, is of blue flannel cut with blouse and Turkish trousers all in one, to which garment a short skirt is buttoned at the waist. Next to this in popularity comesa sort of belted polonaise, with drawers supported by shoulder- straps. Blue is the prevailing color, ranking as ten to one above ali others; but gray and red are frequent also. Indeed, all sorts of ries are worn in the water, some of them pretty and ficturesque enough on shore, but losing all beauty in the surf. A wide-brimmed, coarse straw hat covers the head, and feet go bare, or are clad in stockings without shoes or in bathing-shoes of linen, as one chooses. Thus accoutred, few women are good-looking, and most of them resign themeclves to that fact. Some, however, make a desperate strugele to look well, and go iu bedecked with bangles, brooches, carrings, lace collarrettes and various dainty little fixings, which as may be supposed are often lost. False hair is wornunder a breaker, at great risk, and ‘occasionally a bunch of it is among the flotsam apd jetsam of the day. Ordinarily the bath is 2 frolic, and reverened divines and gray-haired statesmen lay aside their dignity witn the dailty garb left in the Dath-house.. 1 have seen a learned Jewish Rabbi ducking a lady friend with all the mis- chievous glee of a school-boy, and a Protestant D. D. splashing water over his companions with the zest of the same boy at a game oi snow- Dall. Floating, diving, and swimming are the _amusements in the surf, while many enjoy standing on the beach, and watching the breax- ers Lyaed? in over the several lines of bathers. ‘There is as.much diversity of opinion among the children with regard to ovean bathing asto tubbing at home. One youngster is carried in i{ bas been a successful one. shrieking and yelling, while another has to be held by main force lest he should go in too far. One of the best bathers here is an months’ old aby, who laughs, and jumps, and crows in de- light as the breakers come in, crested witn white foam, which she catches at with her little aands. Another good bather is a mite of a boy, Gressed in red, who plunges, and kicks, and dives like a lobster, boiled, and then brougnt back to life in the scarlet livery thus gained. A little girl, wearinga fancy suit of white, trimmed with pale blue, attracts zeneral attention by her fearlessness and thorough enjoyment in the water. Her mother, a swect-faced woman au dark blue, is | always with her in the bath. Kecently a lady, who at home is atnong the most exclasive of persons, attracted by the child, had quite a talk in the water with the mother, and on making inquiries as to who they were, found she nad been vouversing with adancer at a variety theatre. “1 would never have supposed it,” she said. “ Who would have expected such a verson to be sogentle aud lady- like?” Indeed, the bathing-ground is common ground where all conditions and creeds and people mect without question, aud when a wl- ored mammy wades in with ner nursling, ora colored coachman brings the 10-year-old son of the house to his bath, nubody raises the question of civil rights. The men dress in a single garment,—blouse and trousers in one,—and vome out of the or- deal looking better than the women, more like their every-day selves, inasmuch a5 they are Jess dependent upon personal adornment, Yet it is hard to get used to the deculleteappearance which they oresent in swimming-tights,—a incrino garment, Jowsnecked, or half so, short eleeved and short leaged. Life bere is lazy and idle cnough to suit the most frivolous. We rise in the morning late, if ‘we have danced the night before, go down aud. cat breakfast with the ravenous appetite which’ salt air and ‘salt bathing give, sit on the piazza on the shady side, and are busy, or else pretend to be, with our fancy-work. Some of the ladics really are industrious at this, and one has nearly finished a chair stripe in colored chenille, which is exquisite in flowers and leaves, with tiny landscape iu thecentre; but the ma- pay, flirt and gossip until at alittle past 11 it js tine to dress for the bath, which, as bathing: is fashionable here, is the event of the day. “Stay in the water only ten or fifteen minutes,” is the injunction given at the ‘ath-house,—an injunction which few people obey. The bath-houses are stationary, instead of being wheeled to the water’s edge in Euro- ‘pean fashion, so, of course, one must walk to and from them in bathing costume. After the - > Lath fs over comes a nap, for salt bathing acts oD Most persons as a gentle opiate. Then we - €at dinner, and the afternoon is spent in driv- ing or in promenading slong the beach, watch- ing the occan and the ships, or flirting, perhaps, ‘then supper, and after that the dance. Lotta has left, to every one's regret. for she has been one of the sensations of the piace. She ‘was here for several weeks, and, though shewas as retired as people would Iet her be, she was stared at and criticised whenever and wherever she appcared. She had a private parlor at the Stockton, and her songs to the accompaniment of Prof. Aptommas on the harp never failed to attract a crowd. Edward S. Stokes, of Fisk-murder notoricty, Was a guest at the Stockton for a while, and the manner in which he was courted and flattered by many of the ladics was mourntul to sec,— Le, to people with old-fashioned ideas of mor- ality. The eldest daughter of a prominent Pl leIphia journalist Jed the German with im one evening,—herself sufliciently familiar ‘with journalism to know his story. But— ‘That the precions metal, by thick or.thin, Wil cover square acres of land or sin, is 8 fact msde plain, again and agai Eo ‘morale as well as mechanics.” trangers coming here are usually surprised to find the place so large. Nearly three hun- dred names are on the published list of cot- ers, and'there are a dozen or more hotels. The Stockton is built to accommodate 1.200 Guests, and Cor Hall advertises a capacit} of 1,000. Both of these are well filled, an wheh the Saturday afternoon tide of fathers * -and husbands from the cities flows in they are crowded. The other hotels arc more or less well patronized, and on the ‘whole the season Amusements are not lacking. Bati‘-7, yacht- ing, fishing, driving, these are for the days, and in all the large hotels there are ‘sounds of rev- elry by night.” After supper the tables are cleared fromg the long dinning halls, and danc- ing isin order. The Stockton has the best floor in the place, but Congress Hall bas secured the best band. The proprietor of the Stockton, at great pains, engaged the Naval Band. from An- napolis, but those musicians have more reputa- tion than merit, and have proved an expensive disappointment, The children’s ball on Thursday last at the Stockton was one of the most brilliant affairs of the kind ever witnessed. The May pole dance andthe Pastryan, together with other fancy dances more or less dillicult, were executed by the children in a manner worthy of ballet danc- ers. Each child present, and there were several bundred, received a nandsome silver gilt medal as a present from Col. Duffy, the proprietor of the hotel. Next day there was a piazza party for the little folks given at. Congress Hall, and the thildren were photographed en masse onthe veranda, The dresses worn on both occasions were, some of them, superb, and must have cost prices very near the hundreds. ‘The rotunda of the Stockton was gayly deco- rated with flags, etc, yesterday evening in honor. of the expected arrival of the Russian corvette, the Cryssa, with her distinguished officers and passengers on board, but the vessel failed to arrive, though Capt. Nasimoff and Lieut. Urkovesky crossed’ from the breakwater to Cave May in the ship’s gig,—a daring feat, considering the distance, fourteen miles, and the heavyysea which prevailed. ‘Tine corvette can- not get Within less than a mile and a half of the shore, since she draws eighteen fect of water, and the least swell would cause her to go to the bottom.on the shoals along the coast. A dis- tinguished party of ladies aud gentlemen left the Delaware breakwater on Monday in 3 pilot- boat, expecting to meet the Russians at Cape May, but the sea was too rough, and they were forced to put back, going by rail to Philadelphia. Among the arrivals yesterday were Judge J. D. Caton, of Minois, with his wife, and Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Caton, of Chicago, both parties registering at the Stockton. Savie RicaMonp. ——____. SOCIAL POSITION, To the Editor of The Tribune, Caicaco, Aug. 17,—John and I, the other morning, were laughing about this question of “ gocial position.” We know, of course, that, in its legitimate sense, it is ‘the power behind the throve ” that is not to be ridiculed nor ig- nored; but we were laughing at the various misinterpretations of this sublime and awful mystery that “obtain” (as Bostonians say) among half-educated. people. To illustrate, we mentioned Mrs. Alpha, who is so absurdly vulgar that ber very face and fig- ure seem one of Nature’s jokes on humanity. We have seen her at church, on the street-cars, and leaning over back fences. We have heard her call her small son in a voice that resembled nothing so much as the imperative croak of a matronly frog, and when we were poctic we haye quoted to each other, for her sake: Ah look thon largely with lenient eyes, ‘On whutso beside thee may creep or cling, For the possible beauty thst underiles ‘The passing phase of the meanest thing. In our larger and more comprehensive mo- ments, Jubn and I have alluded toherasa “Passing Phase,” and tried to imagine what Frozs correspond to in the Spiritual Kingdom. “But what has she to do with social position?” You could never guess. John,” I said, ** Mrs. Beta called yesterday; the first neighbor who has called-on us.” “*Was she another ‘Passing Phase’? asked e John. “She visits the ‘Passing Chase,’ I believe,” rejoined I, “and when! told her, by way of airing a long pent-up civility, that Iwas happy to meet her, as she was the first neighber who had called, she said, ‘Dear me, the people in this neighborhood is so stuck up,—he—he—he. can’t sce what the use is of not bein’ sociable when people mizht be real pleasant if they only would as they had ought to.”*” “Hold, enough, MacDuff,” said John laugh- EN, the cream of the joke is to be told. She said Mrs. Alpha said she dia not know 2 person on this street. Her friends were all down town. “Well.” said John, “that speaks well for this neighborhood. Life assumes a new aspect, if the “Passing Phase’ is the ouly passing phase on the street.” ‘From this sprang the question of “social po- sition.” : John said: “I suppose this Alpha woman imn- agines that if she will affect exclusiveness, and pretend not to know any onc on this street, that people will fancy she has 2 wide circle of choice acquaintances doing her homage at a distance.” ‘hen we drifted into speculation concerning the ways and means by which pcople try to cover up stupidity and manifest superiority, and succeed only in being supremely ridiculous. Then we talked ot Mrs. Gamma, who isa lovely, unpretentious woman, with a face like some rare old picture, who was telling theother day how once she moved into a strauge neigh- borhood, aud, becoming acquainted with the minister, attended a semi-social, semi-religious mecting, where the atmosphere seemed oue of delighttul peace and good-will, when suddenly there appeared before her a mincing Fanny Dorritish sort of sham, who said laboriously: “Mrs. Gamma, I have myself so lately moved jnto this neighborhood that I can scarcely feel it incumbent upon me to make the initiatory call;?? and Mrs. Gamma found no words to ex- press her emotions but “ prunes and prisms.” “Tt was too bad about the incumbency of that initiatory call,” said Jol, satirically. | ** Yes,”” said 1, ‘what a joke it would have been if Mrs. Gamma had asked her, as Coleridge once asked a very pompous individual. ‘ My dear sir, are you—are you—anybody in particular?? Such people always remind me of how a witty Wash- ington correspondent once quoted SI are about some ollicers who were spreading them- selves arouud like a green bay tree: ‘Their of- fense 1s rank aud smells to heaven.’” “* What do you suppose these pompous, pre- tentious people, like Mrs. Delta, for instance, imagine is the pleasure or profit of knowing them? Whatdosuch people say when they call??? asked John, curiously. “They usually boast a good deal; either they have had money, or lost it, or all of their friends keep carriages, or they *dou’t Know anybody on this street,’ or they don’t fecl at all depetident on society, go out very little, aud are generally pervaded bya sense of the incumbency of in- itiatory calls; or else they have small cut-and- driea phrases about the weather, or some lead- ing sensation of the day. They affect a gloomy and mysterious knowledge of books, and know the natncs of certain authors; yet as for having any well-digested ideas or. any wholesome, healthful purposes in life, they havent. Their whole uim is to build up a reputation upon the baseless fabric of a dream of their own superi- ority. Itis such people as these that freeze even sensible people into a detensive ceremo- niousness, aud make the largest-hearted person shrink from the possibility of contact with a pretentiousness so cucap ‘and an impertincuce s0 disgusting.” “Well,” answered Joho, “why don’ you women who do claim to kuow something erect a standard and bold people up to it?” “Yo you mean snub people when they are vulgar and cheap!” L asked. “Yes, snub them mercilessly,” he said. “Well, suppose a woman sass eaudily, ‘My friends all keep carriages,’ ought we to ask, *Do they keep anything else? and when they talk about living in their own house, ought we to ask if they belong to those who ‘liye upon their own estates and other people’s ideas'? That might all be very sharp, John, but it wouldn’t do; we should make enemies by the: score, besides violating ourselves the first Jaw of good-breeding, which is not to make those about us uncomfortable.” . “Well, I suppose then,” replied John, “you ‘women must resolve yourselves into two classes, —women who are aniusing and women who arc amuscd.”” Yet itis an “‘amusement” that soon becomes monotonons, and soon after this conversation 1 called a council of some of my best friends and we talked over a remedy for the pitiful snobbery of would-be’s who are found in every class of society; and we resolved to form a club educa- tional in its nature, progressive in its tendency, and altogether in harmony with our highest hopes and most worthy aspirations. id We resolved to meet every Saturday morning for two hours, and havea teacher who would lecture on Jiterary subjects and give solid infor- mation on Tuatters that would improve the gen- eral tone of conversation, and enable us to make a serious study of what to say and how to say it. We estimated that if we could get asuf- ficient number of ladies, the expense to each would not be over25 or 50cents each per lecture, and from aclass thus traincd, what delicttful sequaintances, select entertainments, and social influences might ultimately result! Any ladies who may desire to join this class, or learn particulars in regard to it, may address “OsmLanp Lirerati CLus,” Oakland Postal Station, Chicago, Ill. Quite recently a letter was receive resi dent Hayes from a Republican ‘ward pheeis of Brooklyn, asking that Government employes living in that ward might be excepted from his recent order and retain their connection with the associution, because every Republican in the was a member, and it was a time-honored. rule at primary meetings there to allow none but those persons who hold membership to vote. ‘The result was this letter: . Dear Sm: I amdirected by the President to ac- knowledge tho receipt of your communication of the Bist ult, requesting to be informed whether the late order of the President concerned member- ship inthe Twentieth Ward Republican Aséocia- tion end like organizations: and to say, in reply, that such organizations arc clearly within,its scope. Your comments have been carefally noted, and, while: it may be that the order referred to will in gome eases work a temporary inconvenience, yet it is fully expected and believed that the benefits to serae fron its operation will more than connter- alance them. Very truly, yours, z iia ce Rovegns, Secretary.

A railroad engineer at Syracuse puts the case very forcibly: ‘Suppose we should strike now and be out of work a month, and at the end of that time the Company should give inand let us have but 10 ver cent advance,—how much would we make on that dealf During the month of strike and idleness I should lose over $S0 to start with. Some might think that a high fie- ure, so cut itdown to $60. How long will it take me to make up that $60 which I have lost by the strike by recovering the 10 per cent advance, Which the strike might for me? . I've figured this thing all out. I should be just forty weeks, or nearly a’ whole year, trying to make up what I lost by one month’s idleness! That is on the suppbsition that we come outahead. Ifwe don’t come out ahead, striking time is a dead Joss, and if we do come out ahead it takes_near- ly a'whole year before I make up what I lose.
