■ COLUMBUS will be in the spotlight this coming week. For many people the three day weekend is a getaway time of year to enjoy a autumn interlude. In Cape May a panoply of activities, special events and tours will be taking place during Victorian Week. A lot of people have discovered the fun of autumn at the seashore and they've been finding their way here to enjoy this popular time of year. If you've been around this area for a few years, you won't have any trouble remembering when Labor Day put the finishing touches on the season'. Not so anymore. 'The season' is lengthening and lengthening. WHILE the season lengthens, the minutes of daylight are growing shorter. Early risers are noticing the difference. And the day draws to a close much earlier now. Toward the end of day a chill creps into the air. Sunsets are brief painted pictures in the sky, and the stars prick through the dark veil overhead. And one by one we notice lights being turned on one by one in the neighborhood where we live. There's an old-fashioned comfort in drawing the curtains after a well spent October day. **• As we observe the seasonal changes that October always brings, we take

By Libby Demp Forrest pleasure in enjoying the bounty of the season. Here are some recommended places to enjoy the local harvest: HUNTINGTON HOUSE. Enjoy the finale this weekend at the Huntington House, off Beach Drive at Grant Street, Cape May where the fabulous buffet will see out the season. The bountiful buffet will include endless hot foods, salad and dessert bars from 4:30 on this last weekend. Enjoy teneraged roast beef, baked country ham, fried shrimp, fish filets cooked in lemon butter, scalloped potatoes, freshly cooked vegetables plus dozens of other chef creations. Desserts include cheese cake with your choice of topping, puddings, parfaits, pies, cake and apple crisp. • *« 4G's. A longtime favorite of both natives and out of towners alike, the 4G's Italian and Seafood Restaurant, at the Junction of Rts. 9 and 47 in Rio Grande, is open 7 days a week. The comfortable atmosphere has been enjoyed by families for years. The menu remains as varied as ever, with special emphasis on Italian food. Everything is fresh, prepared to order, and served by old hands at getting your meal to you while it's at the peak of taste. COUNTRY HOUSE. A county favorite for three decades, the Country House Restaurant on Rt. 9, Burleigh will soon open, you can enjoy the tasty country dishes the restaurant is especially known for.
