Might we not copy some of the Oriental
practices, and adapt our fashions and our
ways more to the nature of the Seasons 7
Do we not follow customs more suited to
colder temperatures in our routine of ex-
i%stence, and in consequence make ourselves
more uncomfortable than there is any occa-
sion for =? There is no reason whatever
why the Summer should be q time of dis
comfort and trial, if Only patience and
iudicious management guide our actions.
There ia of course less inclination to hard
work during the Summer Solstice, but that
need not check almost altogether all efforts
TO e~xertion. We regard July as a delight
full month ia Bermuda for the native popu-
lation, and one that may be made recrea-
tive and interesting to visitors from Cana.
da and the American States. Such visitors
would actually come to q cooler atmose
phere and would reap all the advantage of
Pea air, not only while afoat in transit,
but also while in residence here. Further,
the transition would be such as to be
more equable than at any other time. The
weather Is now more settled and more
reliable, and, as we stated at the outset,
the vegetation is much more interest
lhg, striking and attractive than
at any other season of the year.
Now boating may be INDUCED in with
some degree of pleasure. Rash exposure

good servant but q hard tyrannical mas
ter. We have mentioned Bermuda as en-
titled to be Justly considered an admira-
BILE resort up to the end of July at least,
and even later to those who can relish
high and steady temperatures. The truth
is that the Bermuda climate is more to be
relied on during May, June and July than
at any other period of the year, and that a
s%ojourn during these months will stand out
in great and pleasing contrast to the expe-
riences usually had of the first four months
of the year, while to enervated frames it is
certainly a less trying period.
The time is coming when the claims of
Bermuda as an early Summer Resort, as
we'll as a Winter Refuge, will be fully un-
derstood and the advantages availed of.
The number of people who need and re-
quire a change of air is always on the in
crease, aud Bermuda is now being more
actively sought out as q desirable place for
those change seekers to patronize. The
necessity of a change to a warm climate in
Winter becomes self-evident, and so the
claims OF Bermuda have been advanced
to meet q section of this class, whose
physiques may be improved by the pecu-
1liarity of its climate. But there are those
whose; business detains them and whose
choice would prefer the rigours Of a
Northern climate, to whom the heat OF
Summer would be more endurable bya
less heated spell In an insular resort sur
rounded by the ocean breezes, and to
whom the sea voyage, at "a comparatively
mild season of the year, would bring q
large share of benefit. A run down to
Bermuda from New York during the Sum
mer is bound to become popular and salu-
tary-a splendid fast steamship will render
it highly fashionable. s We may look for

of July will be beheld by. MANY strangers.
