To you up there, how absurd! How impos- sib1e!
 But they really are being seen and heard this very day, On the great lawns and verandas of Havana's hotels and estates and pleasure re- sorts the pop of the cham pagne bottle is not thing to startle one. You can walk into another Delmonico's or Sherry's here any day. And it might be added that the newly constructed resorts in this Cuban city are so mag nificently appointed and so beautifully furnished that they really remind one of the days gone by on Fifth ave- nue or on Long Island.
 One of the most spacious and con1'- fortable spots around Havana that is being occupied largely by Americans now is the Havana Country club. It

 Under the spreading shade trees, with a little book teaching the pro nunciation of comno only used Spanish words in one hand and a glass of fine old wine or a tall glass of cherry col ored liquor in the other, one f1nds groups of young women from New York chatting and laughing to them selves of the plight of "the folks up home" Syphons and stocks of liquor are placed right out in plain view and the consumers are so proud of themselves that they invariably invite in their friends from the States and before nightfall they have formed more of a crowd than they had ex- pected, and then they all wander down to a dance hall, where also there is plenty to drink-and, all in all, it is pretty happy time they're having here.
