NEW lokh, JUNE 50 AC'N'
There is no doubt about New York being
good summer place. 1t has always been one of
my pet theories that all people went away for
was to have change of surroundings and food,
that when it was hot it was hot every place, and
that when you frizzled in New York you might
be equally certain that all the rest of mankind
was frizzling some place else.
SUMNER LIFE IN NEW YORK.
Here there are always cool nights, and people
who know how to live, to dress, and to eat soon
learn how to be comfortable, not necessarily On
a shilling day, but in the largest city in the
United States. In the first place you do not
have to sit on piazza staring and listening to
gossip, wondering what you shall do next, criti-
cising the women's gowns, and wishing that you
were with the men in New York. The shops
are open to be looked at, the streets are always
full of people, ices and iced soda invite you to
come in and pRrtake, and when it gets near time
for dinner your best young man, who is, or is
going to be your husband, can come and take
you out to dinner, and after that you can get on
top of one of the stages and, II 1t is Tuesday or
Friday night go up to the Metropolitan Museum
and look at the pictures The question of din
ner has gotten to be of great Importance to the
average woman. She don't care to go where it
is served la carte, because she always wants
one thing and Jack wants another Then, too,
after tolerably warm day, dinner is the rest
ing hour, and the trouble of ordering it is too
great. So, for while, these happy people go
to the various Italian and French table-dh6teS
until they become sick of patties and spaghetti
and yearn for something that tastes like Eng
lish cooking. Then somebody tells them a
secret, and they are delighted.
AFAvoR1TE QUIET RESORT.
On one of the side streets just off Of Fifth
avenue is restaurant managed by man who
at one time was steward Of the New York Ath-
letic Club. Outside of tits life-sized statue OF
gladiator, or athlete, or something in the fight
ing line, in bronze, said however, to resemble
one of the members of the club. Inside an old
fashioned house has been transformed by having
its walls decorated in the most unique way. On
one side is tennis net with rackets and balls
fastened beside it. In a corner are the swords
crossed ready for fencing, the gloves and chest
protector Il don't know whether that is what
they call it or not) and the mask all being be-
side them. Another corner shows full archery
outfit. The oars and keel of boat are along
one side. From the centre depends trapeZe
and at one end is a jockey cap, with whip, sad
die, and spurs. Toboggan, snow shoes, and al
penstocks form another decoration. This il
very cleverly done, and one must see it to ap
preciate how decorative all these sporting i'm
plements become. The dinner is good, vel
served, and, looking round the room, Mademoi
selle can see great, big, well-shaped men whC
go in for outdoor sports, funnily enough al
ways accompanied by tiny little bits of womel
who as feminine-looking as possible, ant
who would, without the slightest doubt, jum
on chair if a mouse came, or run all over th
house at the sight of a spider
