1t Is probable that never in the his
tory Of Scranton has there been such
universal hegira Of people from the
city during the summer season. Here
tofore many have gone for a longer
or shorter time, but Just now the wo-
man OF social affiliations who is caught
down street of morning feels like
second edition of the Casabianca boy
''on the burning deck whence all but
him had fled" People Of all classes
seem to have been seized with the
general fad for fitting and therefore
have fitted. The indication of all this
Is that there must really be little finan-
cial distress in our city and that the
respects of the autumn are bright.
The golf links are utterly deserted.
In other towns which boast a Coun-
try club, there are enough society peo-
pie left who brighten the verandas
and dot the course with their bright
costumes as they play match or sit
and chat during the summer mornings.
The Scranton Country club is practic-
ally an abandoned farm this season
and 1 don't believe that anybody
knows whether railroad track is
laid through 1t and locomotives are
wildly cavorting down the linked hill
side, or whether n herd of buffalo is
not rusticating in the groves.
These people who went away during
hot July, unless they went far north
ward have not been having what the
summer girl could truthfully call "a
perfectly lovely, sweet time
For twas sticky down in Jersey,
And twas foggy up in Maine;
At the lake twas suffocating.
In the mountains 1t did rain
And all-present and pervading,
Where he'd never been before,
Was the lurd. wild moquto
On buzzy hunt for gore.
