Tho oncattributo of fashfon over all others 1a fickleness, and tho Impossivility of holding people to the same lace year after year ought to be manifest.

Thero fs Just ns much summer-travel as heretofore, but 1t Ia not_concentrated at one central polnt. Tundreds of little villages aud mincral-spring resorts have come forward within the last two or three years to claim cach thelr share of public patroage. Thus, in the West, nos fow of tho wenlthier familles prefer a sojourn at ono of the Wisconsin Inkes rather than o mora expensive and fess pleazurablo tour in the Eaat, New Yorlers also are this year, more than ever bcl‘o‘x;n,l brw}:!ling up Into umu}l t)parum.'. and wandering off lnto.some onc of thc great wp- countr) tEwnn or Into tho Adirondacks, or the Green Mountains. ‘While Baratoga I8 thus wearlng a countenainnco of mouring, there is nt lenst OND_OF TIIB CELBURATED RESORTS which fs rather ‘Yrollung by the losa, Cape May has geldom bad o more nuspiclous gpening . of the season, thougli by no means a young asplr- ot for wntcrluf-place fame, For » acore of years has the Cape been n sea- side-rendezvous; and ita reputution sras never Lrighter than to-dny.
