While it has been a great loss to the

compared with the life of recent years
Had the hotel remained it is probable
that its Influence under the new manage

zest to the social life here. but under the
circumstances the. summer life will have
little change over that of previous years,
save that more cottagers are here. the
hotels Will offer more recrea tons and the
new Country Club will provide a center
for the social activities of the aristocracy

ing of its delightful house for the week
