City Manager Volcker, in a letter
to a Trenton newspaper today. re-
sented officially the "slur cast by
New York and New Jersey news
papers" with reference to reports
of robins being seen in the cold
est days of January in and about
Cape May. The City Manager
quoted DR.. Whigmore Stone, an
ornithologist, ito prove there are
more varieties of birds in Cape
May in the Winter than in any
other part of the East"
All-the-year-service hotels are
opening along the New Jersey
coast whereas a few years ago,
outside of Atlantic City, it was
all but impossible during the win
ter to get accommodations in the
various resorts.
At first even so large place
as Atlantic City did not support
the big hotels after the close of
the summer season, but those pro-
prietors who remained open all
winter soon learned that they had
real advantage over the exclu-
sive summer houses.
1t was found that the guests of
the winter hotel went there in the
summer time. In fact, some no
telmen say that it would almost
pay them to entertain without
charge on the occasion of the
guests first visit, for to establish
homelike connection with guests
has the effect of attracting them
for subsequent visits. They feel
at home where they have already
been guests.
No farm home improvement
costs less or brings in greater re-
turns than the planting of trees,
shrubs, vines and flowers around
the house. They satisfy love of
beauty in those who live in the
home and attract and please the
passerby. Even house with ugly
lines is redeemed from the COM
monplace by such means.
Trees and shrubs can be OBJ
tanned at small cost. Flower low
ing neighbors are usually only too
glad to give of their surplus, and
flower seeds and bulbs are mex
pensive to buy. If there is not
time or strength to care for beds
of ANIMALS. plant perennials and
each year will And them appear
ing as regularly as old friends
and as welcome.
One New England farmer plants
a tree on his home grounds oc-
casionally to honor some friend
who is still alive and it is always
called by the friends name. A
farm woman with smaller grounds
plants clump Of peonies, climb
ing rose or some similar plant for
the same purpose. The ceremony
in both homes usually furnishes
the excuse for a little party.
