The question OF a transfer on a transfer has
at last been settled by action OF the street car

second transfer has been largely a matter
Of the conductors own discretion. They
were sometimes refused on ono day
when. under precisely the same circum-
stances. they had been granted the day
before. The new ruling has put an end to the
continuous riding which was form erly possible.

New York woman has returned from Eu-
rope with profound respect for the way In
which one hotel looks after articles which
guests may lose through their own negligence
or through tho fault Of the hotel servant. She
lost a diamond ring under circumstances
which made It practically certain that the jewel
must be in the hotel. The day it was lost she
had not left the house and had gone only from
her own rooms to the restaurant. The loss was
reported and a week passed without tho dis
covery OF the article. Nobody had heard OF 1t.
and she was prepa red to leave at tho end OF the
three weeks allotted for her stay without recov-
erng her ring But she took tho opportunity
OF telling the proprietor that it must have been
lost in the hotel. and that it's value was
sufficient to make it worth his while to take
every possible stsp to recover 1t. 1t happened
that she spoke to him for the last time q few
days before the end OF tho month. when the
salaries OF all the servants were to be paid

Anew kind OF summer immigration has been
observed in New York this year. 1t is no
longer necessary. TO Judge from this now phase
Of city life. to be q person OF means In order to
have country residence. One can even live
in tenement and yet occupy q country homo
for tho summer months. Far up on the East
side OF the city. in the annexed district. there
are blocks OF tenements surrounded In many
places by stretches Of vacant lands. Not far
from some OF these is the Sound. Tho whole
neighborhood has q worry different aspect
than that OF the crowded downtown dis
trict moro usually associated with the idea
