1t will therefore be seen that while
Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
of a sanitarium, she is not deve:d of in
terest. The health seeker should nevet
go to dull place. Ennui and listess
ness are the handmaidens of disease.
Here is interest for the studious histor-
ian, the gay sportsman or the mere sight.
seer. If you have energy enough to move
| around you can not be dull amid such
surroundings.
NATURAL BEAUTY.
Even the inveterately lazy can enjoy
life here also if they have money. To the
east Old Baldy 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
the sun by day turn his crest into .
J diadem of brilliants. To the west the
Jemez and Vale mountains, scarcely less
grand than the Santa Fe range reflect tho
sunsets in hundred glorious tones, while
their purple bases lend an ideal back
ground for all this splendor.

stitutions located here, in spacious and
