condition that it fell in the street.

are still prevalent here. Quite a 
number of cases of illness are re- 
ported. A new complaint struck the

COMMUNICATION. 
The Passing of the Cabbage Dinner. 
The vanishing natives of Beverly 
Farms are confronted with a sad sit- 
uation. In former times, when these 
sturdy and thrifty descendants of the 
Puritans owned the earth and the 
beach and the Atlantic Ocean, there 
arose, on John West’s strip of sand, 
various and sundry little shacks, de- 
voted to boating and bathing, social 
chats, and Cabbage Dinners. When- 
ever a good housewife was over-come 
by a longing for the New England 
“boiled dish”, and shrank with horror. 
from the odor that would cling for 
weeks about her house, even to the 
rafters of the attic, she bethought her- 
self of the shanty on the beach, and, 
summoning her neighbors, solved the 
problem, by passing out to the broad 
Atlantic, all the discomforts, and re- 
taining all the fun! What dinners 
those were! What clam chowders 
preceded the dish! What cream pies 
and coffee followed it! 
Now, alas, the little shanties are 
to follow the awful march of im- 
provement; and, in their place 
is to arise a temple—in_ which 
one must sit in his best bib and tuck- 
er, and no nonsense allowed! 
If only the evolution of the cabbage 
dinner were the worst—But it isn’t! 
The beautiful Sandy Hill Road. 
and the beautiful Mingo Beach Road, 
are made into tunnels—bordered by 
walls of cement and brick; the bab- 
bling brooks are turned into ditches; 
the red-wing blackbird no longer 
haunts the spring meadows of Green’s 
Ground: the pussy willows are all 
grabbed up; the dog-tooth violets have 
moved away; no mossy spot remains, 
where, in the lovely woods. an idler 
might watch a squirrel, without see- 
ing before his eyes, a Warning Board. 
The vanishing native is now rele- 
gated to his own back yard. if he 
would commune with nature—and 
Heaven help him. if his back vard is 
only big enough for a clothes line!
