genial cline for season. The custom is stead
fly increasing for persons to go away from town
10 their country homes for the holidays and ex-
change the crowded and noisy streets for rural
solitudes and the delights of family festivities
So too, the custom has steadily grown for an
exchange Of town life after the season has got
well under way for hotel or cottage life in more
southern ATTITUDES
With each season more and more attractions
are offered TO draw visitors to nearby more
remote resorts. where the conditions are favor
able for the enjoyment Of the winter and early
spring months. and in greater and greater
numbers New Workers are fiocking to them to
secure surcease from the discomforts incident

many in this metropolis miserable. especially in
the latter part Of January, February and
March. A little OF the winter life usually
found on this part Of the Atlantic Coast in the
midwinter and early spring is enough for those
who have the time and means TO go elsewhere
and to find the balmy atmosphere which con-
duces much TO the comfort. PLEASURE and
