London On, y Season.

I confess for myself that like London
out OF season sometimes 20 and see
London when the season IS over and every
thing is quiet. and the division bell rings
no more. have most genial memory OF
some expeditions made in London with a
special literary purpose two years ago.
The Tower and ST. Saviour's church, which
shelters Massinger. and the church in Bat
tersea where Bolingbroke is buried, and
the old church on the Chelsea embank-
ment. and the East End. and the Docks
and Greenwich recall the memory of AL
those explorings with a distinct pleasure.
How little man living in London sees
Of London. How soon one gets out Of the
way Of seeing even its regular seasons
sights-if one be not Of the order of man
who sees every regulation show because il
is the right sort Of thing to do. Last week
went to see the Royal academy for the
first time for many years. never saw the
French exhibition in London, although
was member Of the reception committee,
nor have seen the German exhibition, al
though there. too. am member of the
reception committee: nor the naval exhibi-
ton. although It is hard BY my own door.

While the women ID Chautauqna are or
ganizing reforms in dress it might be well
to form a vigilance committee in New
York to prowl about the streets with rifles
and cut OF the men who are adding to the
general depression Of the season by their
startling combinations in the matter OF
summer costumes. I'm afraid that the ac-
tors on upper Broadway are responsible
for much Of this outburst OF incongruity
but there is good deal Of it everywhere.
To see a large and wabbly man parading
complacently along Broadway in frock
suit and wearing finicky looking yacht
ing cap on top Of a palpably bald head is
one Of the things that reconcile one to life
in the suburbs. A frock suit on yacht is
quite as appropriate as yachting cap on
Broadway. Another combination that IS
alarmingly prevalent is suit Of white
flannel aud a shiny beaver hat. Yesterday
| saw number Of men with light shoes,
black derby hats. silk shirts belted in at
the waist and long tailed coats; but the
yachting cap fever seems to be the fercest
and apparently fat men are particularly
susceptible TO their fascination. Il has
long been noted that very fat women al
ways wear small chip sailor hats.
