The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1901-07-06

charming homes in Buffalo have been
opened to Pan American visitors, in
sclf-proteCtion against a swarm OF
friends and relatives, who would set
tie down on the devoted inhabitants in
worse fashion than plague Of locusts.
great many people are repeating
this summer:

Still 1t is n little depressing, when
you have planned to pay a visit to
long neglected Aunt Elizabeth Jane,
or an unrcmcmbcrCd fourth cousin
Belinda. to receive, after dispatching a
tentative sort of letter, a neat little
card stating politely that Aunt Eliza
beth Jane, Eat the solicitation of many
friends. has opened her house to a linn
tied number of guests, who Will, of
course, be only received on Introduction

Cousin Belinda lis so sorry, but she
finds it impossible TO have the pleas
ure of the company of the relatives
whom she has never seen, as at the
time designated her house will be fun
of exposition visitors. Perhaps later in
the season, etc, etc" Hence it is that
people who SO to Buffalo and find
themselves located in refined and love-
ly homes, marvel not a little that resi-
dents of apparent position and means
are willing tn take guests into their
families who are related neither by the
ties of blood nor close friendship.
AS to TIE cost, the following rates
may be accepted as very moderate. in

pleasure enough to brighton ones men,

to come. one can't take many rides ON

People who make their plans To go to
the exposition in September may nnd
that they have gained something I'm
coolncss, but have lost i'm crowds and
pleasant evenings. The days may be
rather warm now in this extreme
weather but they do not compare with
almost any other city in the country
for discomfort. For instance on Mon
day. which was a record breaker all
over the United states. the highest
temperature reached i'm buffalo was 81
degrees. while IT was lO2 degrees in
Philadelphia ana % i'm Scranton At
II Il. IN. Tuesday it was only &c de-
grecs. At night the thermometer drops
with great rapidity, ana IL is not at all
unusual To see women IN thin dresses
going about at = o'clock ON the expo
sition grounds with their shoulders
swathei i'm newspapers or anything else
which can be obtained To keep away
the cold brceHos from the lake. Most
men provide themselves with light
overcoats, ana by September when the
days are shorter, it Is probable that
the evenings and the magnificent illu-
limitations will scarcely be as enjoyable
as In August, when the long, sweet
twilights and tn" gorgeous sunsets
make such Il transcendantly radiant
picture.
No where else in the world can the
picture be presented, fof there Is only
one Niagara in this universe of ours
ana in no other spot can the power for
such an electrical display be produced.
When over this wonderful city with its
opal tiuts and strange rich architect
ure is spread the ropes of diamonds
and rubcs as night crecpS up from the
water. the imagination, fired to a touch
of dClirium, secs i'm the riot of color
ana light, but a TRANSMISSION of the rain
bows over the Horseshoe Fails held
f2st i'm thrall during the early dark
ness to blaze again above the eternal
spray as the sunshine breaks upon the
RIVER.
1t was my intention to speak i'm this
article on Sargcnts pictures in Sec
tion b in the Art Gallery. But brior
mention can be made of them at this
time. 1t is enough 10 say that they
are among the best examples of this
great American artists work. The
eye naturally rests first on the full
length figures in the center Of the
group, life-si2c ana walking toward
YOU i'm their yachting costumes. They
are the portraits of Mr.. ana Mrs.
Phelps Stokes and represent the for
mer as slightly behind the lady who.
in her white duck gown, with sailor
hat in her hand, Is a figure Startlmgly
alive, her lips slightly apart as if
TO speak, and the smile i'm her eyes.
o
The portrait of Mrs. Z. l.. Inches Is
sumptuous threc-quartors picture,
peculiar i'm composition and treatment,
but clear aud wonderful in the purity
of coluring. The portrait of Mrs.
Saint GaudenS' boy is another typi-
cal piece OF Sargcnt's work, while the
two little Venetian pictures illustrate
his versatility. Near this group are
