CHICAGO.
! BETTER OFF AT HOME
There does not appear to be the rush o
society people from the city this summer tha
hare characterized seasons in the past. Tni
may % owing to the comfortable condition 0
the weather thus far, and it may be due tt
other causes More of Chicago's people hav
gone, or are preparing trips, to distant points
this year than auy year since the fro and tn
panic. Many have gone abroad, number hay'
engaged qua-ters at the seashore, some hav'
gone to Colorado, California, or other points ii
the Far West, while comparatively few are Vsit
ing the resorts near at home, which have beer
| so well patronizel by our people during the
past few years. Still, these local resorts
| are BY no means deserted, as many Southern
| people take refuge in the delightful retreats
during the summer months. Business has beer
uncommonly good here this seasou, and papaE
and husbands have been ''doing well ~; this
doubtless accounts for the apparent Willingness
to indulge in longer excursions and more e1,
pensive recreations, which tendency ts every
week exhibited among the wealthier classes.
Again, Chicago is getting to be very lively
| city, even in dog days, when all other large
cities shut up shop, SO to speak. AID take long
vacation; Tor the fame OF our city and Its de-
l'ehtful suburbs as a summer resort has gone
abroad, aud hundreds OF suffering peo-
pie from st. Louis. New Orleans, Memphis,
| and other intensely warm localities, are here
for the summer. They are scattered from
Highland Park to Hyde Park, all along Lake
Michigan within easy reach OF the city, and
many are making their homes in Chicago proper.
Evanston has several families from New Or
leans, HYDE Park has number from Memphis
and other Southern cities, while within the city
limits OF Chicago there are scores OF families
and individuals from St. Louis, all OF whom are
perfectly satisfied with the climate here, and
thoroughly convinced that St. Louis and
Memphis are two of the hottest cities in the
United States. Nice, genial people
are these Southerners, SOCIALLY, and
chicago aHd her euVirou5 welcome
them heartily, aud although many Of our own
people may seek q change during tho warm
mouths, those OF us who remain at home may
not die Of ennui, but may enjoy change OF So
clety aud our comfortable homes at the same
time.
