LAKEWOOD'S GROWTH.
Gratifying to Both Residents and
Visitors.

Lakewood, N j. Jan % CSpeciaD.-It IS natural
that those who have lived In Lakewood for a num-
Der Of years should be proud Of her growth as
resort and should have watched it affectonately
from year to year. And this year there are signs
OF a strength and permanency OF growth which Is
greater than ever before. Many mistakes have
been made in advertising the place and in bring
ing 1t to the attention of the public. but time has
in great measure rectihed these and there are
fewer false statements before the reader at this
date than usual
Most New Workers have come to know that Lake
woods attractions lie in nature only and in the
great out-of-doors- Walking. riding, driving, boat
ing skating. polo golf. drag hunting, trap shoot
ing, are everything IN the amusement line which
bring people here. Idle curiosity draws new
corners. and the combined excellence OF a famous
hotel system brings a long list Of confirmed hotel
goers-if the phrase be Dermitted-but outside OF
these things there Is nothing to draw people here
but the delights OF out-of-door living and glor-
ious climate Excepting a few cold days. the
months OF January and February are always
balmy. and there Is a crispness and dryness OF
atmosphere that IS a veritable tonic Many New
Englanders and Canadians staying here 10
enjoy these things instead OF going further south
Many PhiladeIphans ran down last week. most OF
them staying at the Observation-Disclosures Mrs ~
J. Cassatt spent several days there visiting her
daughter Mrs ]. p Hutchinson. 1t is gratifying
to note the widening OF the circle OF accurate IN
formation about Lakewood. judging from the in
creased patronage from northern chimes and from
Philadelphia
Lakewood's list OF cottage homes Is steadily
growing, as persons who have spent few months
at the hotels have come to value the social quiet
Of the place. have noted the excellence OF church
and school facilities. and have fallen In love with
the healthful habit Of out-of-door life. These cot
tagers have built uD the Country Club, which dom
mates sport and which tolerates only the most
select forms OF social entertainment.
Socially, the event Of the week was the song
