Florida and California are the leading WIN
ter Ravens for tourists, and If their records
were looked up II is doubtful If their COM
bired resorts could show equally strong
patronage as that now enjoyed by Atlantic
City. A careless glance over the hotel reg
listers and list of cottagers proves that hun
dreds OF people who stand high In the So
cial world have concluded that this if the
ideal spot, and New Workers, Phladel-
phians, Washingtonians. Baltimoreans.
Canadians and other society leaders are
rivaling each other in the point OF hand
some villas and in securing the most ele-
CANT apartments at our handsome hotels.
Atlantic City is rapidly growing a social
center. and no resort in the United States
can boast of a larger or more representa-
tive circle of society people than here dur
ing the Lenten period or Easter week.
