At THE SUMNER RESORTS.

Breezy enough are the reports which
come to the society column OF this
paper from the summer resorts. Every
body is having the time OF his life.
The hotels arc full. the beaches are
crowded. the cottages overflow. the
weather is delightful. and the best
season OF years is in prospect.
We arc glad OF it--slad that the
children can swim in az fine waters

our young people can climb the most
beautiful mountains OF the East. glad
that weary mothers can find rest and
recreation on broad piazzas sheltered
from the July sun.
But We arc glad the summer resorts
arc prospecting because they mean
much 10 the social life of the South.
Our older readers will remember that
before tho war, the springs" were
the great gathering places OF the elect.
Thither mothers brought their dauSh-
tcrs to be introduced to the world.
thither came young cavaliers 10 find
sweethcarts. thither came weary pub
I.N Servants 10 rest. f-Ncn IN the dark
days after the war our summer re-
sorts welcomed their thousands and
brought together friends whom the
war had separated General Lee went
to the springs" every summer and TO
meet him throneed the famous of the
world. All this meant a better &C
0uaintance and new friends and good
feeling.
For some years it will he recalled,
tho springs lansuished Famous re-
sorts were closed and bathrooms
which had answered to tho laughter
of hundreds were deserted And dur
ing this time, as we remember It, tho
social life of the State was at low
ebb: the good people OF Richmond did
not know their Norfolk cousins. the
debutantes Of Lynchbure did not NEE,
the gallants OF the Capital city.
Now that the old resorts are crowded

Fool Parents and barbarian Children.

To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-When we who grew up gen
Grafton ago recall the stress that was
laid on morals and manners in our
school readers, we are made to wonder
why IL is that parents have SO far for
gotten those teachings as to allow their
children To act the part of the ill
hammered that they do. and especially
when visiting. Ii Is n noticeable fact
that children in most cases leave their
manners behind when visiting, much
to the discontinue of the visited OBJ
scrvation has taught the writer that
children know how to handle the pa
rents in the presence of others, when
they would take liberties with things
not their own. The parents in such
cases are made to serve as sort of
stands between. If the expression is
allowable. The visits of the children
alone would often prove less objec
