Bedford Springs, Pa, Aug. 80. There
are those who affirm thai in no other
month Of the season is Bedford SC
charming ms in June, when the newness
and tenderness OF life Is breathed by
every zephyr from the mountain tops
and there are those who delight in the
ripeness of July when the world seems
roplete with the Things the spring time
Promised. whom the social buds OF
promise, thuse signs and rumors OF
germans and cotillUns, we're unfolding
themselves into full Gloom. But there
are those who Prefer the peacefulness
and the mellowness OF September to
either the freshness of June or the full
ness of July.
These are the people who will be seen
at Bedford during the remaining two
weeks of the season, and what delicious
days the Allegheny Mountains have in
store for these nature lovers.
Bedford is delightful at any season of
the year, but in September the region
round about the Springs is idyllic, For
him who loves to walk there are the
winding roads with their superb views
of summit and plain, of rippling streams
and corntlelds growing brown beneath
the sun, and there are the quiet paths
through the forest to the observatory
and the golf-liEks and to little Lake
Caledonia lying still and mirror like in
its setting of oaks and naples less than
a mile from the hotel.
And 1t may be of interest to those
who contemplate trial OF the Bedford
waters to be told that in September the
Genius of the Great Magneaia is said
to have more compassion for suffering
humanity than during any other month
of the year. Flow true this is the
writer is unable to say from any expert
ence OF his own, but it would not be
strange il, aided by the resttul in
tiuences of this peaceful month, the
Great Magnesia should more easily
effect the cures for which II is famed.
The season OF the Bedford Springs
Hotel has been successful one and
goes far to prove the wisdom of the
owners of the great property in the
selection Of the new manager, Mr..
Thomas Parkes of the Hotel Bristol,
New York, to whose untiriug energy
and intelligent methods this result is
largely due. Mr.. Parkes, though still
a young man, has held various positions
OF trust and aside from his abilities as
a hotel manager. is an expert account.
