are we'll filed and good business will
be done this year. This was to be ex-
pected. As times have gotten better
money is a little easier, and pater fami-
las can see his way clear to sending or
taking his family away from the city.
Many maid is bewailing all her beau
tiful summer clothes which are laid away
in the bottom of her trunk, as the weather
has been so cool that something heavier
than dimity or organdie is necessary.
The summer girl who has not provided
herself with a few warm frocks at times
feels rather Chilly" as at some resorts
fires have been very comfortable. But
she has some consolation, for there is not
quite such a dearth of men during this
month as there was last month. August
is the most favored time for a vacation,
and more people have left town this
month than before. The streets in the
retail district are comparatively deserted,
very few of the familiar faces to be
seen anywhere. The counting-rooms and
wholesale houses have less than their
usual quota of clerks, and even Main
street has something of a holiday look.
But the stay -at-homes have very little
cause to complain of the hot weather.
True, some days have been excessively
warm, but the mercury has not risen as
high nor have the hot spells been as pro-
tracted as in former years. The cool,
pleasant periods have been so nicely
"sandwiched" between the warm ones
that time is given to recuperate and be
ready for the next. AS all the predictions
are for an early fall we can not expect
much more torrid weather.
