      Now That We Have Reached The Middle Of J...

      NOW that we have reached the middle of June everybody is naturally discussing

      the great holiday question . The London season , ' which rises by slow degrees , but

      declines with almost ! startling rapidity when once it has passed its height , will in a few

      weeks begin to wane perceptibly , and the annual exodus out of town will poon be in full

      progress . Long before August has summoned sportsmen to the breezy moors of Scotland ,

      and tired legislators have grown rebellious against the ' whips' of their political leaders ,

      thousands of English people will liave found their way to the seaside , or will have betaken

      themselves to the Continent , drawn thither , perhaps j ± X half-unconsciously , by — «/ the magnet ^ 3 of

      —( the Centennial Exhibition now open in gay and beautiful Paris . In society much of the

      small talk of the hour literally drifts wr to almost ^ every point of the compass from the trite but

      absorbing question with which it began—* Where are you going this autumn ? ' There

      are people , of course , to whom only the far-away hills are fair , and they apparently imagine that

      England is as * used up' as themselves , for they usually disdain to seek rest or relaxation within

      five hundred miles of the Modern Babylon . But it is possibl ~ e to scamper ¦*• with feverish haste

      across Europe , Asia , and America , and yet to know next to nothing of the lovely scenery

      of England , Scotland , and Ireland . There was a time , and it does not seem remote

      when people of scanty leisure and limited , means were compelled by the stern logic of

      necessity to keep within easy reach of home . All that , however , is changed V- / now , and the

      facilities of travel are so great that it is } , possible to turn to marvellous account the *

      resources of a slender purse and the respite from work and worry of even a few days 4 ,.

      In proof of this assertion we need only refer our readers to the pages of the present

      I number of the Publishers' Circular , which

      contain more or less adequate reviews of some two hundred ' Holiday Guide Books and

      Maps . ' Paris is unquestionably the great centre of attraction this year , and a

      bewildering array of attractive handbooks has been written for the benefit of English and

      American strangers within its gates . "Sensible people , however , will not care to linger too

      long amid its hurrying crowds , and , as it so happens , they could scarcely find a more

      convenient point of departure for travels further afield . The snow-clad mountains and

      beautiful valleys of picturesque Switzerland , the quaint cities and placid waterways of restful

      Holland , the magnificent architecture and oldworld charm of romantic Spain , and even the

      silent and impressive grandeur of mysterious Egypt with its august memorials of a vanished

      civilisation , lie in these days within comparatively easy reach of the tourist . Those

      who by choice or necessity intend to spend their holidays nearer home will find a great

      variety of useful hints concerning delightful holiday-trips in the

      HighlandsCon-, nemara , the Lake District , North Wales , Devonshire , the Isle of Wight , and many

      well - known and beautiful health resorts scattered along our rock-bound coasts . ' If

      men are rich / says Samuel Rogers , 'they travel to enjoy ; if poor , to retrench ; if sick

      to recover ; if studious , to learn ; if learned , , to relax from their studies . But whatever

      they may say , tliey go for the most part on the same errand ; nor will those who reflect

      think that errand an idle one . *
