The New Sound Beach. 
Yes, we may be countrified in what 
we consider the attractions of Sound 
Beach as a place of residence, but we 
are citified in the energetic way in 
which we act. One of our citizens, Mr. 
Layland. well-known to our people, is 
helping Sound Beach to meet certain 
new standards of activity and moder- 
nity. He has opened an ideal garage 
near ArcAdiA, and we have assured 
him that we shall recommend, as we 
do with pleasure, all our automobiling 
friends to have their cars repaired by 
him and, when arriving at the railroad 
station, to make use of his taxi service, 
which is up-to-date and well conducted. 
He is to have a dozen automobiles and 
more if necessary, as will be necessary 
at the rate Sound Beach is growing. 
The building has been entirely refitted 
and refurnished in modern manner, and 
a new and acceptable concrete walk has 
been laid in front of the premises. We 
predict success for this enterprising 
manager. Sound Beach needs him, and 
to him we extend a cordial welcome. 
The Growth of Sound Beach. 
The original purpose in the estab- 
lishing of the old Arcadia was not so 
much a natural history purpose as it 
was for the forwarding of the interests 
of Sound Beach. It was suggested in 
the original plan but a little later some- 
what modified that our office should 
contain a real estate department for the 
purpose of attending to the numerous 
inquiries that naturally have resulted 
from the wide publicity that The Agas- 
siz Association has given to Sound 
Beach during the past decade or more. 
We have never really lost sight of that 
intention. Sound Beach has become 
known “to the ends of the earth.” We 
send out an enormous amount of first- 
class mail and from twenty-five hun- 
dred to three thousand copies of the 
magazine every month, and it all says, 
“From Sound Beach.” 
We are glad now to welcome Mr. 
Boles, who has recently opened an 
attractive real estate office near our 
ArcAdiA, directly in the business cen- 
ter of Sound Beach. His office will 
help us and relieve us too. In conver- 
sation with Mr. Boles, we learn that he 
shares our enthusiasm for a greater 
Sound Beach, and will actively assist 
in building new homes to provide for 
the many families that we are bringing 
into the community. 
Before the establishing of ArcAdiA 
few people knew about Sound Beach. 
The town seemed almost lost under 
the shadow of Stamford and Green- 
wich, but on account of the extensive 
advertising that we have given it. Mr. 
Boles will be kept busy in supplying 
new homes for hundreds of new fami- 
lies. His announcement will be found 
at the top of page 1. We cordially 
recommend him to our readers. 
A Study of Microbes. 
Two microbes sat on a pantry-shelf 
And watched with expression pained 
The milkman’s stunts ; both said at 
once, 
“Our relations are getting strained.”

The green waves roll and break in foam. 
Enchanting to the view: — 
The billowy masses Nature’s own, 
The foam white meadow rue!
