SUNDAY WORLD FEATURES.

S "o
Tomorrow marks the opening of the
Summer resort season. Where are you
going this Summer-to the %seashore, to
the mountains or to some quiet spot In
the country? All Winter long new cot
tages and new hotels have been making
their appearance with more or less en-
ergy here and there. and in the last few
weeks things have been rushed forward
to have everything ready for the first
hot wave. The Weather bureau declares
that at last the weather has settled
down for a good hot Summer, and next
week the vanguard OF summer visitors
will begin to arrive at the various water
ing places. Near New York the regular
Summer residents have already opened
their cottages. and at the nearby resorts
like Bath Beach. Far Rockaway and
along the Jersey shore the hotels are
already well filled with Visitors. Bar

life, and, of course, the mountain re-
sorts are still slumbering In their WIN
