This Is an Inquiry of no small interest to vast
numbers. To the millionaires It matters little
They have the means to command comfort ana
pleasure everywhere. But to compel the million
to enjoy themselves at the same rate as the mil
iionaire or not at all, is to debar most OF them
from all recreation. If the writer referred to de-
signed to embrace the South in his inquiry, he
could soon be accommodated. We have plenty Of
pleasant and comfortable resorts, but, Of course,
so long as our own people forsake them for the
splendid misery of Northern watering places, we
can hardly expect to convince others of their I'D
vantages.
Cuba.
The lovely island of Cuba no longer arouses the

On the whole, the grapes are sour, contour

have become ripe and ready to fall.
