SPRINKLED!

Yes, for the first time, Lake Avenue is sprinkled, from the
village to the lake. For unremembered years point laces have
been turned yellow by the débris of this highway, and camel's
hair shawls and rich pongee dresses have been frosted with the
sacred soil of Saratoga. But now pure air takes the place of the
wonted simoon, and a Central Park phæton is a delightful
luxury.
