Oh, no. They are sitting at their back
windows overseeing dreSSmakerS- Every
year YOU read letters from Newport, Sara
toga, Richfeld and the CatSkills- saying the
hotels are full-''the height of the season
has Gomez" but say what you will, Saratoga
and the other watering-plaees are never full
till the 25th of July. Then the great fash
iOnable caravan pOunces down on them,
and, until August the endless train Of
three-hundred-dollar dresses rustles up and
down the hotel balconies. Then commence
the fiirtations between the Mell-dreSsed, but
pennileSs, New York dude. and the beauti-
full daughter OF the rich Western million
aire.
NEW YORK AS A wATERING-PLACE.
New York is great watering place in
June and July. 1t is full OF CubanS and
wealthy SOutherners. who pack the hotels
at night and run out TO Manhattan Beach,
Coney Island. Long Branch and Glen Is
land during the day.
Glen Island is the center of a group of
five islands fourteen miles from the city.
To reach them you steam up the East river,
past Hell Gate and Wards Island. II is at
the east end of Long Island sound. 1t is q
day watering-place. Ii Is owned by ex-
Congressman John StaTin. who IS now one
sometimes seen ~. 900 people, all eating
clans from Rhode Island clam-bake,
drinking beer and listening to music. 1t is
the daily picnic ground for the poor people
of the city.
Patrick and Bridget and James the coach
man 90 there on Sunday. There are five
islands surrounding Glen Island. and on all
| of them are numerous secluded hooks
where sentimental Patrick can talk sweet
blamey right onto Bridget's ear-pan. There
is no concealment of affection here. The
earnest lover sits with his arms boldly ell
twined around his sweetheart. Alas, your
swell beau from ST. Paul and Chicago does
the same thing at Saratoga. only the raScals
do it slyly. They take long walks over To
the village graveyard, and. when the poor
old sexton gets down into grave, they
steal that kiss and tell over and again that
tale OF love and hope.
Everybody drinks beer at Glen Island.

LONG BRANCH.
Long Branch is usually filled with loca
politicians, stock. horse and cart
gamblers and the lOudeSt rich PEG
pie of New York. There is nothing
social about the place. At Glen Islam,
the flirting and ''spooning' is done by
hired girls, clerks and fioOr-walkerS, while
at Long Branch the counting is done b,
blase New York girls Glsl hardened gam
blers from the stock exchange. Seldom

tages at the branch are occupied by Suc
rich men as George LOrillard. w. l.. Scott
