letter From Saratoga.

OF course it is not the thing to do, as
very few writers of pretension ever do
it. Some allusion to ''the resort Oftired
Englishmen" or to ''the healing streams
of Europe have by custom become as
essential tonic to well done Saratoga
letter, as are the earlymorning potations
from the Empire pring to Saratogas
congregated invaIids.
We are obliged to forego this Orna-
mental attachment to our letter for we
have never been to Baden Baden. We
know nothing of it only through faith in
the revelations of others, to which reve-
lation and descriptions the reader hereof
is most kindly referred.
We know nothing of Baden Baden and
next to that comes Saratoga We have
spent days and weeks here and have at
last come to the conclusion that It's ways
are past finding out. It's people are
fast and a place receives its character
from its people. They give one no clue
to find them out. The large majority
one sees in public places to-day he will
not see tomorrow, they sleep here one
night, drink and drive and gaze one day
and the next they are on their way to
mountains, lakes or seaside to do the
