JN THE gleam of the club's pagoda, Where the club-sandwich blooms the plate on, You can ne'er with the gay club-soda, Get the thing called the gay club skate on. EVERY SEASON and ev- ery climate has its hotel. Any place that is without a hotel is really not worthy of being seriously considered as anything other than a howl- ing wilderness. And there are all sorts and conditions of hotels, from the marble edi- fice that :overs a city block to the ramshackle structuré in the woods, around whose weather-beaten envelope the night-winds moan their drear- iest melodies. There is the rose-embowered hotel of Cali- fornia and the snow-clad hos- telry of the Adirondacks—one ocean-cooled and the other ‘steam-heated—for the benefit of each and every malady that | human flesh is heir to, from il golf-wrist to color-blindness. One hotel advertises sea- bathing as one of its leading attractions, and another sets forth the beauties of snow shoeing and tobogganing. The poetic fire and soul-thrill- ing eloquence bristling in these announcements make the phraseology of the circus advertisement pale into insig- nificance, while they fill the bosom of the student of Thoreau and Emerson with a chaste, ineffable joy. For they set forth the artistic splendor of the Florida series of hotels, whose Spanish architecture makes them seem to the romantic dreamer like veritable castles in Spain, murally decorated with Spanish omelets. And they throw a well-defined glamour of medieval romance around the rickety wayback hotel that rocks its guests to sleep as it sways to and fro in the wind that discourses wolian melodies in the pines, that at the same time heal weak throats and shed ready-made chewing- gum from their mighty trunks. 7 ANY A MAN’S FAMILY gains its greatest and most permanent pres- tige through his newspaper obituary notice, which, after proving what he was not by stating what he was, closes with the scrap of information that he was a member of the Lotos, Salmagundi, Union, Moneygrubs, Aldine, Players, Lambs, and Orange Country clubs. eee THERE is one great hotel resort that should be popular with all sorts and conditions of sick men. And that is the place that proudly calls itself in one grand outburst the Florida of the north, the Adirondacks of the south, the Colorado of the east, and the Italy of the west. That this place is In New Jersey goes, of course, without saying. ‘THREE SQUARE CITIZENS OF NEW YORK. ‘THE small hotel that holds the fort, To heal all ills tubercular, Is simply called a health-resort In booklet and in circular. The big Italian-marble pile, With brass band and aquarium, And dukes and golf and lots of style, Is called a sanitarium. [TIS BELIEVED by many long-headed philosophers that the day is not far distant when the world will have a servant-girl club. The servant- girl isa high functionary who delights in trampling on her oppressors more than they delight in trampling on her. And she will have a club at which she can decide upon the direst expedients for her ultimate deliverance and be in a position to arrive at a clearer idea of what constitutes her rights; and it may open her professional eyes, lift her into a higher sphere of use- fulness, add materially to her happiness and income, and cause her to realize that her iron bed is softer and her cold garret atelier warmer. She sa highly sensitive organization, and has nerves that are affected by the rattling of shutters and the meteorologic changes peculiar to a composite climate like ours. The gentle excitement of club luncheons and Lenten lectures would make her more contented with her lot and cause her to scrub with a greater swiftness, and to handle the can-opener with the subtle phrasing and touch of the manicure artist. Then would she have a place to spend her evenings in the perusal of the latest periodicals and novels for the improvement of her mind. But her highest and finest gilt-edged delight would be known on the club’s annual policeman’s day. HE HOTEL that is build- ed upon the sea-sand seems to prevail against the elements as well as does the hotel that is builded upon a mountain-rock. Andalthough they are firmly anchored, yet are they not more enduring on their stationary sites than are the hotels on wheels that glide along the rails so fast that their very petrelesque swiftness materially assists nature in the assimilation of the leathern pancake and the | I taurine steak, eee | i HE REASON that whist | is not played for shekels of gold and silver in the wo- man’s club is that in this ll ANN game not even money is al- { lowed to talk. | i ‘ ak 'HE VESTIBULE of the great palatial hotel is in a certain sense a Parthenon, for at this spot may often be seen the country’s greatest statesmen, diplomats and oth- er celebrities sunning them- selves in the public gaze like _ so many alligators on the banks of a Florida river. It is believed by many thinkers that these states- men go to such hotels for the purpose of being focused in the public eye as a matter of business, inasmuch as these city hotels do not have golf- links, and are not conducted as are the Florida houses, purely in the inter- ests of this ancient Scottish game. eee A MAN must be an author before he can join the Authors’ club, for the reason that he cannot become an author by joining it. ‘THOUGH the ice-yacht 's madly scooting And King Sausage taps our mirth; Though the surly north wind ’s tooting On its horn for all it’s worth; Though the leaden pipes are freezing And our cheeks more ruddy glow; Though mankind is wildly wheezing And a-sneezing, don’t you know— See the summer girl on duty, Casting the bewitching spell Of her sweet, elusive beauty Over the Florida hotel. comicbooks.com
