posed to such weather conditions, and
that consideration is enough in their
estimation to put Washington out Of
the question as place where anyone
would willingly spend the summer.
At the same time It is recognized by
thousands that Washington has not
only many advantages as a summer
living place, but Also that 1t possesses
attraction. The temperature is not
ignored by such, but they appreciate
the fact that not all days are marked
by excessive or even uncomfortable
summer weather conditions. Even this
year, which thus far has been hot and
dry, generally speaking, as compared
with the weather of last year and the
year before, has been marked by
periods of cool days and nights, and at
times an atmosphere that had tonic
quality, such as one is accustomed to
experience In more northern ATTITUDES.
Then there Is the charm Of the city
in its summer garb, the most beautiful
to be found in any city in the world.
and that beauty not alone In the adorn-
ment Of one section, but in its general
extent throughout the entire area.
There is refreshment to be found In
passing along the streets bordered
with trees whose foliage screens side
walks and even the pavement from
the heat of the sun.
