\-\{At
the little town} {of Vevey,} {in Switzerland,} there is a particularly
comfortable hotel. \-\There are, indeed,#Inj01
many hotels, [RAVFfor the entertainment {of
tourists} is the business {of the place,}
[RAJFwhich, [MINJas
many travelers will remember,] is seated=PV
{upon the edge} {of a remarkably blue lake--}
a lake#App09 [RAJFthat
it behooves every tourist to visit.*INFDO04]]]
\-\The shore {of the
lake} presents an unbroken array {of establishments}
{of this order,} {of every category,} {from the "grand hotel"} {of the
newest fashion,} {with a chalk-white front, a hundred balconies, and a
dozen flags} flying*GiveR04 {from
its roof,} {to the little Swiss pension} {of an elder day,} {with its name
inscribed#AOP12 {in German-looking lettering}
{upon a pink or yellow wall} and an awkward summerhouse} {in the angle}
{of the garden.} \-\One {of
the hotels} {at Vevey,} however, is famous, even classical,#PPA02
being distinguished*GiveR17 {from many} {of
its upstart neighbors} {by an air} both {of
luxury} and {of maturity.} \-\{In
this region,} {in the month} {of June,} American travelers are extremely
numerous; \C\it may be said,=PV
indeed,#Inj01 [RNDSthat
Vevey assumes {at this period} some {of
the characteristics} {of an American watering place.}]
\-\There are sights and sounds=CC
[RAJFwhich evoke a vision, an echo,#App02
{of Newport and Saratoga.}]
\-\There is a flitting hither and thither
{of "stylish" young girls,} a rustling=CC
{of muslin flounces,} a rattle=CC
{of dance music} {in the morning hours,} a
sound=CC {of high-pitched
voices} {at all times.} \-\You
receive an impression {of these things} {at the excellent
inn} {of the "Trois Couronnes"} and are transported=CV=PV
{in fancy} {to the Ocean House} or {to
Congress Hall.} \-\But {at
the "Trois Couronnes,"} [MINJit must
be added,=PV] there
are other features [RAJFthat are much {at
variance} {with these suggestions:}] neat
German waiters,#App09 [RAJFwho
look like secretaries {of legation;}]
Russian princesses#App06 sitting*GiveR04
{in the garden;} little Polish boys#App12
walking*GiveR09 about held*GiveR03
{by the hand,} {with their governors;} a view#App20
{of the sunny crest {of the Dent du Midi} and the
picturesque towers {of the Castle} {of Chillon.}}
