Our chronicler— and I do hope he had
a: tidy sum— says "the 'individual; cost of
.these: summer vacations yaries.: from a"
; few dollars to : $10,000 ■or more," and that
Americans 'spend,/' on /account/ of -their
fair weather pleasures, $450,000,000 > to
■$500.000,000. /.This.; of course, includes the
: vast "number of "■:. -well-to-do /who go
Europeward every, summer. Of travelling:
■ Americans abroad, it is -said the "class
is changing.' Formerly tourists to -the
; Old World- were made up of "family par--'
ties exclusively./ to which outsiders—be
; ing : duly .endorsed— might ; -be/- attached,
and were usually, headed: by pater-fami
lias in: person; stately, pompous,/ and
plethoric as to pocket-book; who -went
well introduced and>with' an - equal re
gard for his/ //personal arid -national
-dignity.. If we ; may believe -London and
Parisian news gossip -nowadays, .this is
no -longer -so. /American girls go ;J alone:
to/study art; in twos and threes they
"do"/ Europe in less /time than: would.,
