cumstances, or perhaps a combination of both.
compels to remain in town through midsummer
have certain compensations is apparent to all
who have had the experience. "With, the absence
of many of their customary associates they find
that the town Is by no means dull, for the
throng of strangers serves to fill all cuatomary
places of resort, and there Is a freshness of In
terest and spontaneity of enthusiasm that tend
to Interest the town dweller, and the places
where the crowds most congregate are filled with
sightseers.
One thing which both those who remain at
home and those who coma to th metropolis or
stop here on the way to and from other places
of summer ahoda greatly enjoy is the opportu
nity to dine in a most delightful fashion at the
Park Avenue HoteL This centrally situated
boose of entertainment for guests has what no
other hotel in the entire land possesses, since,
