SOCIETY STAYS AT HOME Chicago People Cannot Afford Usual Summer Vacations. CHICAGO, July 10. (Special.) The present heated term is likely to go down In history as the great stay-at-home Summer of 1908. The Summer social reg ister today comes forward with the an nouncement that large numbers of our "very best people" have eschewed Eu rope, forsaken the seashore and given up extensive country plans for the comforts of just home home, sweet home. The change is most startling in the case of the bankers. In 1907 the Summer reg ieter contained 1308 foreign addresses of bankers. This impecunious season makes a sorry showing in comparison, with only 717 such addresses. The seashore, like Europe, is among the losers. Only 2623 family groups are given.
