DOROTHY'S LETTEE TO MARGARET. Dmi Margaret:— I I am sure you won't be so terribly sur j prised to hear that after all our globe ^ * ' trotting we hare arrived at the extreme j end of of Jersey, no not the Isle of | , jersey, but New Jersey in U. S. A.' Yea, , | We are again in our ow n country and you , 1 oon't know how good it feels to be oti , i «^1 that youn can stamp on and say, , "This is my own my native land." We j came here direct from Philadelphia as t soon as we landed, we brought such a j great array of gowns from gay Paree, , and it is so funny, I thought I should never need so many costly gowns here but every one dresses just lovely here at Cape May and 1 have worn all of by j mine at least once and most of tliem ^ _ twice. , This is a fine old town. We came ( through on the Pennsylvania in ninety I minutes and the country is very pretty 1 all along the route. The fields a beauti- i ful green, the trees are dressed in their i gayest gowns of emerald hue and the i farmes are dotted here and there with ( herds of cattle, besides the little villages , are so pretty nestling against the green I back ground. Cape May is very, very old, it was ' founded in 1720 1 believe, and some of the buildings are just grand, they are i so old and solid looking, they make one feel sort of safe so different from the towns which are all new. Prank says those places look as if they were built out of doors because they have no trees around them. Here all the streets are shaded with trees, the porches are so sheltered from the sun that many of the people spend all the day on them even taking their luncheon there. Cepe May isn't like any other seashore resort we have visited because the people have been coming here generation after generation and nearly every one has a cottage of their own, and the cottagers represent the oldest families in the country and everyone that prides in their cottage colony us they affectionately call it. 1 haven't been around very much yet . but Prank says we ought to stay during July and August as that is the season here, and if we do stay as of course we will as Frank is always right, you may expect to hear more of Cape May. Affectionately Yours, DOROTHY. COMMUNICATION. The following reply to a recent letter by Thomas A. Watson published on Wednesday will be found interestingCape May, July 7th, 11*10. To bigin with a "Bromide" in the form of an old and very true saying, there mze "Many men of many minds," and in reply tc a letter from John Watson in yesterday Star and Wave, would like to state the opinions of another who loves Cepe May and has visited it regularly for years perhaps chiefly for the reason that abe derives so much pleasure from witnessing the freedom that is allowed the dogs here. I have never heard but one person object to doys on the pavilion, and that was a tour looking woman who under took to kiek a little stray puppy from the place, and who was nearly mobbed by her surrounding neighbor: and who left the pavilion amid storms of disapprobation, while the puppy was fed with candy and peanuts and comforted royally by its friends and champions The very best proof that the cottagers and visitors do not object to the presence of the dogs, nay even enjoy and approve, ia that the best and most prosperous of them, bring their dogs here year after year, and perhaps come here for that reason. Peaple who love dogs consider many things that might seem ' queer" to John Watson. To most of us, It is one of the pleasantest sights to see the dogs playing happily on the beach with each other and the people who make friendly advances to them, and I pray the gocd City Fathers, to remember that there - are dog lovers as well as dog haters to The Important Problem confronting anyone in need of a laxative to not a question of a single action only, but of permanency beneficial effecta, which fcn follow r roper efforts to live ia a henlthful way, with the assistance of Syr-r of Figs and Elixir of Senna, wherever 11 la required, aa It cleanses the system gently yet promptly, without Irritation and will therefore always have the preference of an who wish the best. of family laxatives The combination has tire approval of physicians because It la known to ha truly haaa ffcfal. and because It has glean ssitofaartrai to the mllliona of welMBformod fnmWee who have need It far many years past To gat Its t iaifintal effects, always hay the genuine manufactured by the OaOfarato Fig Syrup Co only.
