' It is a SHORE RESORT with all the advantages of the Country Place, because it is the only resort on the Ccasl on the main land and not on a sanded island, and along its avenues are trees with verdant foliage. THE MARKETS arc the best, with Iresh vegetables gathered from fatms in the adjoining county.

In the year there is snap and life in the Ardsley air. The place draw* cool dess from the Hudson, and ll Is saved from monotony by Its well-wooded hills It Is not strange that It has been necessary to draw restrictions tighter to keep the Ardsley reservation from being overrun with restless millionaim and their families seeking a It waa Mrs George Gould who. after a visit to the Edwin Goulds, said, that Ardsley waa the "rest spot" of America. Of coarse. K might be said that Mrs. Gould spoke only fqr the wealthy: the poor find cramped area-of a park, still her opinion Is of Interest as Indicating how little of rest and content Is the lot of the men and women with limitless money to spend. Probably whai Mrs Gould meant was that in Ardsley there waa no suggestion of prodigal outlay, no rivalry of millions, no ridiculous competition tn absurd entertainments. Not long before the George Goulds sailed for Europe a, young matron complained of wearness as a result of the endless round ol the winter season.. “Go to Ardsley." was Mrs. Gould's advice, given laughingly, but with a good deal of earnestesa. And "Go to Ardsley" bids fair to pass Into a slogan among the *00. If a slogan ever could find refuge In so poor a haven. The so-called elect of the 400 are born Imitators, or rather mimics, and within a week, through all the different layers of the odd social fabric, every mention of headache or eannl was followed by the call “Go to Ardsley I" Well, there Is more ID the remark than the thoughtless may discover The secret I* known to the Edwin Goulds, and Mrs. George Gould probably had more than An Inkling of It when she ggve such apt X^j.resslon to Ardsley'i rural charms andVeelded to forsake I-akewood. But bow long will Ardsley stand against the northward march of the city? How long. too. win the William K. Vanderbilts and the Harry Payne Whitneys stand against the spread of the city monster toward their Gong Island estates* The millionaire brethren It most be knows will not watt until the real eatate dealer comes knocking on their gates They will take flight at the first alga of the In vadlng speculator.
