...distinct improvements over last year. The Room for sitting out dances has been provided with comfortable chairs where couples may sit and listen to the music without the disadvantage of a crowd around them. Plans are also made to throw open the porch for dancing, provided the day is warm enough...

The earth's tilt, the sun's position over earth's equator, have no meteorological implications other than the general one that toward the end of the summer the continents begin to cool off while the sea stays warm, thus altering some air currents.

The rather nondescript audiences of today seem to lack the discrimination which, combined with warm enthusiasm for really fine things, formerly lent such an ideal atmosphere to musical performances abroad.
