LONDON.
Apr. 30.-The balmy winter climate of Florida, long a lure to Americans from the cold northern states, has begun to draw wealthy Britons away from their sunny but chilly coves along the Riviera.
The winter just ended saw hundreds of leisured Londoners cross the Atlantic to get away from the fogs and rain of their gray and gloomy capital. Formerly only a few score Englishmen took the time and trouble to discover the sunshine of the West Indies and Florida. The steamship companies have begun to trumpet the attractions of both, and expect increasing numbers of tourists to cross the Atlantic next winter in search of bright skies and soft southern breezes.
Those who have tried the trip bring back tempting tales of their experiences. One relishes a winter swim in the gulf, they say, whereas along the Riviera winter-time dips in the Mediterranean are taken only by the younger and brawnier visitors.
