This week there has been a lull in the
exodus from Jersey City, probably be-
cause most of the people intending TO
spend the summer out of town had al
ready gone. or in the case of those VINO
stin linger, because the weather mas mol
been unbearably warm.
Then tendency to remain in the CITY
during the summer months seems TO pc
growing even among the upper classes.
Those who own country or seaside MONIES
seem anxious to rent them, and for TINS
there are any number Of causes.
A summer out Of town at seaside or
mountain has its advantages and its dis
advantages. First, of course, there is the
change of air and consequent benefit TO
health; then in Jersey City particularly,
Is the iddance of the mosquito nuisance
On the other hand the disadvantages OF
going away are. first, leaving of a com
Portable home with every modern con-
yenience for the country house of some
what less. or in many instances not any,
modern improvements, to say nothing OF
seeing ones husband but once a week ana
leaving him to the mercy of vaudeville
and roof garden the greater part OF the
summer SO that many prefer the heat OF
the city to the i-neonvenience OF the coua-
try.
The summer season of '99, however, has
had everything in it's favor, even the eie-
ments. The sudden terrorizing hot speii
of early June, the beauty of the modern
country home. the golf clubs and the
growing attractions of country and sea-
side. even to vaudevilles, have all played
their part, but most potent OF all IS the
fact that last year there was war ana
this year there is none.
After all everything from beauty 70
wealth must go by comparison, and this
season compared to last year is exception
ally good, but people forget to look back
10 the time when everybody, who possibly
could. left town if only for a fad.
There is probably no truer philanthrop-
Isl IN Jersey city than Mrs. Brice Col
lard. she is to be found in nearly every
philanthropic movement and usually at
fhe head. always ready to do her very
best for the object, no matter how much
trouble and research 1t may take to md
that best. She IS an active factor IN the
Newman Mission. president of the Wom-
ans Club Philanthropic Department, sec
retarv Of the Organized Aid, and has a
Mothers Club, Cooking and Sewing
School of her own, Independent of any
church, society or club, and is active In
Whittier House work.
with all this Mrs. Collard is a very busy
woman. Her philanthropic work keeps
her busy from morning to night, SO that
when summer she really needs a
rest. but this year when Miss Chown re-
signed her position as agent of the Organ
lied Aid and it was found necessary TO
successfully carry on the work that some
body be in the Office at least a few days
out of Zach week, Mrs. CoIlard volunteer
ed her services and is now to be found
three days each week at the old Board
of Trade Room. Montgomery and Wash
ington streets, hard at work filing appli-
cations, Investigating cases annd taking
charge Of the Penny Provident Bank.
This only goes to prove that it is not
the woman who has most but she who
has least time to spare who is called upon
in case of emergency. Mrs. Collard is a
true club woman and one not to be found
in a hundred,
Miss Cornelia Bradford is another wom-
an of true philanthropy. n who is
willing and ready to give up everything
for the cause in which she is interested,
Whittier House. She is slowly solving the
social problem of Jersey City and break
ing down the barrier raised between the
classes and the masses. In Whittier
House there is but one society and every
body is equal.
