These happy playtime people may spend from $5 to $500 or more a week each, just as she can afiord. Working girls save throughout the. winter for this merry season, when? they can shake off the shackles of the type- writer or the goods counter, and the city girl of independent means hails with delight freedom from social thrall and the glorious games of tennis and golf and the delights or canoeing or camping. Of course, men the summer. They go tains or the seaside or the country, too, but, forsooth, what would sum- mer be without the women ? What without the jolly flirtations, the sight of bevies of white-dressed girls in leafy woods, and the charm- ing music of laughter on placid. lakes on star-studded evenings ? Summer time young time--their playtime. 'Men go to sorts for a week; women delight to stay for the summer. Mén tire and begin to think of their offices and ledgers and orders--but the women, bless them ! never tire of play, Then, too, one Mhust remember that the playtime of the women costs a pretty little penny, and . what if the men didn't gp back to their offices ? Summer vacations in the aggregate cost a 'tremendous amount of money, and most of it, perhaps two-thirds, is spent by women. Go to Atlantic City, Sgratoga, Bar Harbor, the dells of Wisconsin, and observe the per- centage of women. And when one re- members that the vacation traffie of the Pennsylvania and New York Cen- tral railroads alone runs into several millions; that in one state, New Hampshire, vacationists spend in one season $5,000,000; that, with the great hotels, accommodating 6,000 guests a day during the eight weeks of July and August, with possibly three-fourths women and children, paying 83 to $10 a day--well, one can get some idea of what it costs the man-at-home ! In Atlanti¢ City and other big re: sorts the great hotels number their summer guests by very many thou- sands, a large majority. women, In the Adirondacks, one finds accommo- dations for something like 10,000 per- sons; in the Catskills, 8,000; at Lake George, 6,000, and in the White Moun- } ' tains more than 11,000, and most of the patrons are women. Even in the Maine woods and the Canadian forests, favorite resorts for men who can afford to spend a month or more, one finds the fair summer player much in evidence. And do.you see her in hammocks with the "Dolly Pialogues," in her hands? Not at all. She i= playing. She is on the golf links. She i8 in a canoe. She plavs baseball, perhaps. She rides. She dances.

School teach- ers form a great percentage of these travellers, also young women who get) a leave of absence from their offices for a couple of months. And even on board the ships life is not one of repose. There are amuse- ments, games, dances. The summer girl going abroad dances across the ocean, and abroad climbs mountain peaks or spends her days exploring cities or fascinating ruins. Suppose she goes to the mountains there are gamés by day and dances by night; one long, breathless, less pace of amusements.
