ALMS BY THE SEA
BEGGARS* LITTLE HOLIDAY It takes an Irish beggar to enjoy himself and earn his keep at the same time, says a Belfast correspondent. Never has there been such an exodus to seaside and other resorts as there has been this holiday season. The more well-to-do of the fraternity have not deigned to confine their activities to one spot. They have been noticed to take daily trips to different centres. Proof positive, says observers, that business has not been slack. Other alms-seekers who have returned to their old pitches, however, are already muttering darkly that they are being kept on the move too much, and newcomers to the profession are creating fresh difficulties by encroaching on their alms corners. The fact that the football authorities have put a ban on the instrumental beggars has given the class generally a feeling that their immediate outlook is less , rosy. than heretofore.
