diance, and who has made a proper and profitable study of Litchfeldis institu Hons, the reason for the Southampton failure Is clear. Sobiety in order 10 have Q top must have @ bottom and the reoui- site number of intermediate layers. More over top, bottom and layers must be solid flied by time. united in sympathy and blended by similarity of interest and sspI ration. Flat swells are as impossible ss fiat dollars. In Lenox there are no sbori- zines; therefore Lenox society is, of ne- cessity, froth and bubble, without historic or local substance, @ floating sham which may float off and disappear like the nists of morning. In Southampton village there are plenty of sborigines, and good ones too; but they are ignored. village connection is 8 disgrace; village pedigree would be rejected with scorn. Not to have sborigines is misfortune; to ignore them Is 8 crime.
 In Litchfsld the names of living mill nonsires appear on the earliest tombstones, proving perfect connection between the remote past and the immediate present. The same honored names are hung over business and professional door-ways and are borne with pride by the mechanic and the tiller of the soil. Thus is shown that all grades of the social system are com pacted into one resplendent whole, the chief object of whose existence is to per petuate the glories of Litehfeld. Litch- fields top is properly supported. It rests on the bottom and recognizes the bottom, The bottom Is proud of the top and Is proud of supporting the top. The inter mediate layers know and value their re- spectiye positions. With such 8 model ever before him the Connecticuter can never err in social questions Only of fa kz l. I or seduced by the fslse and pretentious social notions and practices of neighbor- ing states.
 To get out of Southampton and out of Long Island don't rstrace. but keep on to Sag Hsrbor. There will be less Cor bin and quicker exit. At Sag Hsrbor take the boat for New London. Don't stop at Shelter Island until mosquito proof; for the Jersey specimens are weak lngs in comparison with their Shelter Island confrsres At New London, for the sake of old times, try the "Pequot." !" It Is an old rookeiy without modern i'm provements, but it Is clean and well kept this year and has by far a better ''chef" than its wis wis.
 Come home every now and then dur ing the summer. It Is & mistake to shut up ones house and to break, even for a short :ims, all connections with home. Don't talk politics any more than Is ne cesssry, but talk good politics Keep quiet till you have read up, have formed sound conclusion, and can give good req sons in their support. Read BOlles' ''Ff- nancial History of the United States" and keep cool.
 Don't go to Southampton. IF you must go to Long leland try Mscox. WaInscost or East Hampton. These places are etill far ther out to sea and they are free from csds, tosdies and would be swei,s Inspect Fishers Island. Since the island has passed away from individual ownership it's beauties are being found ont and apprecis- ted. It is sure to become rapidly one of the most attractive Of seaside plsces
 Be very economical, for there is no tell ing how hard pressed We may all be before the presen. distress is over. The savings you may not need for yourself you will certainly need for your friends. Keep re- membering the poor. Rsresd the longer catechism occasionally. Don't neglect go- ing to church. Thus may the summer go by pleasantly and renewed health, faith and courage await your return to duty and to New Haven. PERIANDER.
