The summer is sailing away" at least
that is what it says on the calendar. But
| the grassy glades, hanging woodlands, the
| summer slopes and deliciously fragrant
breezes would easily delude one that such
is not the case. However, like the frosty
touch on the sheen of beautiful woman's
| hair that betrays the encroachment of old
| time despite tire roses on her cheeks aud
sparkles in her eyes, there is tinge of gold
ON the topmost twigs of the maple trees that
reveals the fact that summer is really on
the wane and the chill of autumn will soon
| be upon u.s.
Big box, little box, band-box and bag are
being packed, and the merchantmen, hus-
bandman. doctor and lawyer are calling
their families home.
Mrs. U. 5. Grant has been sojourning at
the Kaaterskill, revisiting scenes enjoyed
with the General here in the past. You
would not believe it until tell you what q
sprightly looking old lady she is. She
wears her hair in seft water-wave puffs
around her face. which does not look DIS
tinctly aged and has few "old marks"
soaring 1t. She dresses in black, or black
ana white, and has a scarcely pereeptibe
| dreop to her shoulders. She went tEis morn
Ing to her great lonely house in New York.

husband fought SO nObly, was waved as
good-by salute, and the band d-master gave

Quite a squad of itinerant Californians
nave come on this summer. Miss Eleanor

Schroeder Is at the Brunswick, S. Pinalde
at the Hoffman, J. E. Willow at the Gisey
and E. j. Pierce at the Astor House.
MI j. Franklin Brown. the well-known
nypnQtlzer and psych Ologist. passed through
New York EN- route for San Francisco the
other day. His numerous friends in San
francisco will be gratified to learn that Mr..
Brown had great success in his special line
IN the social centers of the Old World.
WITH true American nerve and address he
captured the conservative old British ariStO-
| Gratis and scored several successful cures
among their number that challenged their at
tentlon and won their regard. Come to
think Of 1t Bret Harte, Joaquin Miller and
other celebrities feted in London had "a
San francisco finish" that seemed to add to
their attractions IN the eyes of Londoners.
Conhdentlally, 1t is a capital idea to be
porn In San Francisco and then come to
New York. You bring certain recepti-
vlty, spontaneity and curiosity, that the
native INDECENT TO the crowded wilderness
does not have. There are a great many
other advantages, too. the Westerner has,
but as 1t seems to be very wrong tradition
here that "Californans are given to boast
Ing deal" I'll muzzle my impulse and
stop praising ourselves.

Miss Margaret NJ. Craven has been sum-

chic and Ylvacity of the California girl. Que
