Weather pleasant. Nettie and I ptart out early this morning to meet 13 ro. Hart at his office according to ap: "pointment. We cross Fultou Ferry, and as we arc off the street car line we have a long walk. We see "many things of interest, among EY M- - MY- J. TANNER. Sea Plain, Thursday, May VX Weather rainy Lam very "lame and weary tliii morning after my long walk yesterday. It storms so we cannot go to Aunt Fanny Rogers'; it is a long walk they tell mo, and Cousin Jce cannot get a team to take us out there. Josephine, their. youngest daughter, comes home from Springtown, where she is working; the wants a. necktie and apron "made for the sociable this evening; I am pleased' to make it fur her. I take a nap, after which cousin Rebeck a and I go to visit their daughter, Mrs. Gifford. Wc have a very pleasant visit. Wc have fried oysters for supper, They tell me how the oysters aro raised in that locality. A "small, inlet or arm of is chosen, winch is smoothed and over dragged nicely; the ground 18 then sown with the spawn or tiny oyster. In and in creased, and the oyster bed is raked, and sizeable-ones selected for eating, while the smaller thrown back'. Mr. and Mrs. Giflbrd are one3 have six children, who are all at home to visit with me; each one givertio a card or shell or some little keepsake." Mr. Gilford gives me a number of shark's teeth, which were found aome distance down in the earth at a place called Shark River. Rebeeka and I go to the sociable with Josephine in the. evening.," The sociable is held in a largo frame building; the people. are gathering when we go in. There are tables spread through the room, on which people are placing their me somewhat of home. Every lady has on an apron, and a necktie corresponding with the apron is put in an en velope and placed in a box to be drawn. A frcntleman" n.iv Twont v.fU'r When he gets his necktie he gres around the ladies to find the among apron likchis tie. When he finds it he must take the lady in to supper; the supper, of eoim-c- , must be paid for, and the proceeds go to .the church. Some gentlemen buy two or three. draws." It is quite amusing, but as there is neither music hor dancing, .and as Rebeeka aud I have no aprons and get no supper, we go home early. Friday, May 15. Have given up visiting Aunt Fanny Rogers, who, by the way, seems to be qujte an historical pcisohagc; they tell me she is very aged; that she has a long list of. names in her family Bible; but asshe is no relative of the family I am not likely to swell the list of genealogies I am collecting, I have concluded that I must not linger here, miiehVs I would like to do so! ; Cousin Rebeeka comes with me U the depot, andVgivesme au affectionate good-bye- r f sTon at Red Bank, where three oMier da'ucdite lne.
