1t will therefore oe seen that while
Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
Of a sanitnrium she is not devoid OF III
terest. The health seeker should never
go to n duh place. Ennui and list!ess
meas arc the handmaidens of disease.
Hero is interest for the studious histor.
ian, the gay sportsman or the mere sight
seer. If you have energy enough to move
around Won can not be dull amid such
NATURAL BEAUTY.
Even the inveterately lazy can enjoy
life here also if they have money. To the
east Old Badly lifts snowy dome IN
winter, and his steeply sloping forested
sides in summer rival his winter beauty.
In the winter the full moon at night and
tho sun by day turn his crest into a
diadem of briliants. To the west the
Jemez and Vale mountains, scarcely less
grand than the Santa Fe range reflect the
sunsets in hundred glorious tones, while
their purple bases lend an ideal back
ground for all this spleudor
