Tinting with bright hues the flowers. Thus sang we boys, three hundred strong in the old Northwest Grammar School in Philadelphia, away back In the Forties, each Spring as "Smiling May” came tripping along with it* balmy breeae*. fragrant flower*, rerdant lawns and fresh, tender, beautiful foliage. Even then. Cape May held strong tage ground among the few coast r* of the day. Primitive as were the methods of reaching her ocean-bound shore, s hundred miles from the good old “Quaker City” by the tortuons channel of the Del aware, and nearly ninety through the draggy sand* of stage route.—and emdt as were the offerings of entertainment, as compared with the improved order of the preaent dsr. yet it 1* recorded in truth, and remembered with pride, that Cape May was the Snmmer Meet-* of the aristocracy of all the Middle States and the South. But, has Cape May kept p-ce with the times! Hardly, we think, with that vigor, intensity and wisdom that it should. It must if true that we are for the second time passing through a transition period, —the first previous to the construction ef tv -rail route and the grading of the M ach boulevard, the laying oC a spe•3 tea promenade, their protection by a V , < seawall, skirted as It now is by a w«.-eqaipped trolley system. The second transitory period may be said to'be athand. W« have not retrograded, we are simply standing still, while mighty forces are at work, some quietly, but with full purpose in view, others thundering away in open tnssle against great odds, to tarn □nsighUy. impoverished and chaotic conditions into an orderly landscape that «h»H be made to blossom as the rose, and wealth and give greater prosperity U> the queenly little city which Dame Nature has crowned shore* all others with her brightest jewels which cannot be taken from

her.

And so here we are in the May days of 1006, having come ont smiling from as long and as hard a winter aa oar seaboand cits, has experienced for many a year. The forces of progress are again awake, looking shoot to ace wnat needs to be done. It is realized that another year of two most pass before the great work of reclaiming East Cape May shall be so far accomplished aa to bring ont the true beauty and ralne of tbe’development of this vast tract. From Nature’s standpoint. May is the most inspiring month of the entire sesaou. Let inspiration teach not only the heart, but the will as well,—the will to do and to dare, for the pleasure, the health, happiness of the thousand's who seek the Father’s bleasings, which need but to be wisely applied and distributed by His ■n»a*Cape%£has the favor o(P.B.R. officials is worthy of appreciation.
