CHARMING VENUS

piece pale green mew line bathing
sail that fitted her form aa smanthly
aad close a the bark oa a sycamore
tree appeared there before you? Huh?
What would you do? Most likely
you would de exactly what that two
thousand or more rude men did at
Ocean View yesterday afternoon when
an understudy of Venus appeared in
their midst.
The air was lultry and the tide was
out. A few bathers were in the surf,
but the greater part of them were ly
ing sprawled out on the sand along
the beach. Suddenly there emerged
from the hath house a spectacle that
made the sleepy rouse up and take
another look and caused the wide
awake to gasp in astonishment. Daint
ily and demurely, a tall girl with a
form of a Grecian goddess, walked out
of the house and took a seat on the
sand. She eas accompanied by several
other girls and three cavilers, but
nobody noticed her companions. The
girl wore a creation such as has never
been seen at Ocean View before. It
was a soft messaline suit in a delicate
shade of green that fitted her body
like a glove. It reached half way
between her waist and her knees.
White silk stockings reached almost
to the bottom of the skirt, and in
between there was a tantalizing
glimpse of pink.
Everybody on the beach crowded
round her, and everybody in the surf
came ashore. She talked unconcern
edly with her companions and paid no
attention to the furore sho was cre
ating. At length she decided to take
a dip in the water. Leisurely, she
stood up, and with' her companions
started for the water. The whole
calvlcade on the beach moved in a
mass after her. Out into the water
she went, and the crowd followed,
open-mouthed. H K
After a wnile she dipped down in
the water, and when she came up,
there was a revelation. Evidently
she had not counted on the effect of
the soft silk in the water. When
she afose, a shriek issued from the
crowd. Then she lost her temper, and
turning flashed eyes upon the inter
ested audience, proceeded to tell
them just what kind of rude, uncivil
animals they were. Then she dipped
back down in the water and stayed
there for several minutes. Meantime
the crowd was thickening, and tho
men on the shore who were not for
tunate enough to be in bathing
costumes were approaching perilously
close to the water's edge, in an effort
to see what was going on.
At this juncture, a life guard in a
boat, rowed up and attempted to
disperso tho crowd. He couldn't
do it. That was beyond mortal
power. He then ordered tho girl to
go to the bath house. With a dis
dainful toss of her head, she started
for the shore, and the mob followed
her.
After she disappeared inside the
bath house it was some time boforo the
atmosphere cleared completely. Soon,
however, the excitement died down,
and in twenty minutes, listlessness
had again seized the crowd, and tho
men resumed their indolent dozing in
the sand, awaiting the Bight of an
other "Venus rsing from the seeth
ing foam."

A LIVELY SCRAP
AT COURT HOUSE
Willard-Johnson Exhibition
Not in Class With
This Bout
County Commissioner Thomas Hol-
ton gave a very realistic exhibition
of his fistic prowess yesterday after
noon at a meeting of the Craven
county Board of Equalization when
he resented an assertion made by
Joseph Tingle that he was walking
in the footsetep of Old man Annanias.
The trouble started when Mr. Tingle
complained about the high rate of
valuation placed on a certain piece
of property. Commissioner Holton
took up the discussion and this
waxed warmer and warmer until the
two came to blows. Mr. Holton made
several passes that would have done
credit to Jess Willard, and presum
ably had his sparring partner at a
'jsadvantage when they were parted.
Sheriff Lane arrived on the scene
and took both men into custody,
and they were a short time later ar
raigned before Magistrate Charles
Hancock on a charge of engaging in
an affray. They were found guilty and
taxed with the cost, which was equal
ly divided between them.
