NEW YORK, July 30.-Some one,
literary some one, has made the sta tie
ment that New York is always abit-
able, entertaining and comfortable; in
fact, what the English in their moderate
Way call mot half a bad sort of
place" for at least eleven months of
the year. 1t may be that this literary
some one had some secret source of
content, some delightful hauntS that
are not known to the world at
large, or perhaps DelmOnHo's
and the roof gardens are enough
for him. 1t may be that
if he belongs to the smart set it is
enough for him to read of their doings
at the seaside hauntS in the society
journals when the rest of his cliques
are at Newport anu Saratoga. At any
rate, whatever his basis is for the asser.
ton, l lind it impossible to a gree with
him. 1 am skepticaI as to any one who
stays here from choice during July.
Robinson CrusOe on his desert is
land was not more alone than the
civilized man or woman who reSOlutely
remains in New York all the summer.
Robinson CrusOe never encountered
more savages. The people who make it
their business to visit New York at this
time Of year are all more or less un-
cOuJh. Some OF them know what they
are doing: accommodation is easier
gained: holidays are more convenient
TO take; and so we meet them in & tenn
perature of 100 degrees doing the sights
of the city.
Then there are the people who come
to the city by mistake or accident. A
struggling Englishman, with thick boots
and strong ejudices-bOth badly suit
ed To the country, but both of which
generally wear down; an enterprising
female, travelling III search of material
for book; student taking holiday;
ard they all roam about the deserted
avenue. and wonder il New York calls
this living. No, decidedly, New York
doesn't
Every one, that is, every one who is
any one, is bathing, driving, flirting,
matchmaking, and, last but not least,
dressing at the seaside haunts. l look
through the society journals and feel
quite unfeignedly thankful that | am
not a society person to have my face,
figure, accomplishments and doings
criticised IN the frank. fearless
and audaciOus manner which is
so marked a trait in the society
journalist. ! see that Mrs. - is so
many years older than her husband, and
that another lady is not so good looking
as her married sister, and l feel quite
thaukful-hO sour grapes-that l WELD
that instrument which is mIghtIeT than

lessly by the society journalist. But
uOblesse Obhge!
Dressing forms a large part of the
summer exodus. Redeem has fitted out
his customers for spreading their smart
wings many miles away, and he is com
paratively quiet. This gave me an op-
portunity OF gaining information from
him.
