to a point where it is hard to find a

used to be called floating hotels"
When this did not do justice either to
their size or their magniticcnce. it was
changed to floating palaces" I
should call the Celtic a floating town.

the number of people the biggest hotel

these temporary citizens will require

a season is we'll advanced before all of
the new ideas in dress have been given
what might be termed a permanent

about the country clubs and the few
exclusive seaside and country resorts,
one cannot, with any degree of con-
idence, settle upon what is to be a
permanent style and what is merely
tentative or experimental. The season
has been an exceptionally warm one,
and it has brought out all that was
new, and that was precious little. In
looking over the attire of the we'll
dressed men, one is struck by the de-
partures that have been made in col
lars and shirts. We have always look
ed upon summer as a season in which
one might with impunity indulge in
