was during the first week Of July. Now it
is cool. deliciously COOL and the wind blows
in gentle imitation of San Francisco
breeze. The Westerner, Northerner and
Southerner who are doing New York note
the change in the atmosphere with grateful
appreciation. "Come to New York in the
season." exclaims a devotee of the gay
world, who fits back to the metropolis for

content with more room in streets and cars
and hotels, for in "the season" everywhere
is crowded, and they say they have come
to see places and things and not people,
and seem to be enjoying life in easy free

mer resorts within easy access of New York

of the universe, the focus of observation
and the place to be desired above all 9TH
ers. So it is indeed gratifying that each

contrary, however, Newport in few weeks
will be the most attractive spot on the big
round earth for many. for all Anglo
