Society People Are Planning
Many Delightful Trips.
MANY HOUSES ARE CLOSED
The Woman's Club Preparing a Most
Attractive Programme for the Next

Soon to Occur?PersonaL.
"The Bcorching heat of the last few days
lins made nearly every one who has not
already taken his or her summer outin-,
decide where to go and to scttle the dato
of doparture. The sea-shore and moun?
tains are tho fnvorltos.
It ls rather hard to decide whero to go
oach year. even lf you have noi got to
count tho pennies. Ono rcsort is adver
tlsed cs having "all the natural condi
tlons united to form an idenl health and
pleasure rcsort during all scasons of the
year. Toweiing mountains, miles of
now drives, _mooth boulevnrds and ro
ttantic walks. are at hand to gratify the
plrasare-seeker. The golf club, wlth its
welJ-hept lmks, ls a special feature and
as on outdoor'exerclsa is one o* the chief
pas times."
In thinklr.g over a mountaln tr.p we
are told on another circular "that theso
mountains havo a beauty and grandeur
all their own, and havo probably been
seen and admired, if not visited by more
travelers than any other group on tho
Axaerlcan continent. Morcover, lt is
cbeapw to board here than llve at home."
Now, lf that were abeolutely the fact
ft ralgtit be thought of, but the trouble
ls that the reality does not always cuaio
i?p to the readlng.
? ? ?
Wbat is beoonring fast popular to those
?Who can Mtrlp" but two or threo weeks is
the tourlsts' trips by water, to Canada
and the Nterthern States. These trips
allow a day or two to he spent at large
cities and are every day fuil of new In?
terest. Unlike all other vacation trips,
she who contemplates spending her sum?
mer this way, needs not the weary days
at dress makers and bargain . counters
before starting. for with coat sulte. pa?
per novels and grip she has everytning
that is noeded, her cry being how few
things can I decently do with, lr.stead
of how many dresses and waists can I
"scrape" together.
But nevortheless. the "smart set" wlth
few exceptions, will as usual flock to the
fashionable spring to spand the time in
endless gaiety. Driving. dancing. plng
pong. golfin. "bridge" and cuchre, making
the hours pass quickly, while the moon
light niphts nre turned into day. Here
*'mi ladi" will appear in several elegant
toilets. differer.t ones being donned two
end three times a day, the shirt wlst
and skirt being an unknown thing in
these rogions.

section. and daiiy tho trains are crowd
cd and the windows are shuttered on
Franklin Street, till the stay-at-nome
seems forlorn.

PRINTED THE FACTP.
Mr. John E. Utz, the present efficient
president of the City Council, and a man
whose word on all matters pertaining to
granting of ordinances can be taken and
relied upon implicitly, told a represen
tative of The Times last week that at
the Council meeting Friday night there
would be a stout opposition made to
granting the Southern Be Telephone
Company a franchise for six months.
which had been. however, recommended
to Ihe Coiincil by the Street Committee.
The Times of the following morning
contained an article to the effect that
there would be an opposition rnade re
gardless'of the recommendation of the
Street Committee.
The second morning after the inter
view with Mr. Utz, The Mlmes had oc?
casion to again mention the fact. and
this time referred to the former publi
cation as being excluslve. Afternoon
papers reproduced ...e story as did one of
the morning papers two days afterwards.
The only reason why the permit was not
jvigorously fought in the Council was be?
cause the company had seen fit to with
draw the petition on the eve of the meet,
ing. These are facts which can be veri
ficd.
