Scarcity Of Young Men.

A writer in the New York World, talking
about the scarcity Of young men at the summer
resorts, says that ''the wall this year is more
deep and heartfelt than it has been for many
years past" He adds: 'If things go on at the
present rate before long the government will
be lmportuned to take hand in supplying the
summer resorts with young men. Their scare

Some of the published lists Of the entertain
ments given at the watering places are curl
ously suggestive. In one dispatch from Nara
gansett, for instance, on Sunday, the details of
delightful impromptu picnic were given. A
list Of the guests was appended. There were
four young men and twenty-seven young
women. At an informal dance in Newport on
the same day it was said that for the first time
in the history of that famous watering place
girls danced with one another, since there
were not men enough to go around"
