LESS SNODBIsnNESs At NEWPORT
than at any other of the large resorts, because
Newport, ut the start, was an old city, formerly
the principal seaport city Of New England,
where 4 great deal of the culture, and learning,
and picty Of the day fountt home; and SO,
gradually, as in these later days it began to
come into favor as watering-place, it first at
tracted the people of culture from its old fame
and associations. This ripple of attraction has
kept on widening and widening from its native
tiner,ent and culture Of no ordinary stamp.
With its great celebrity, of course it now brings
certain modicum Of 'sa1l sorts.n Curious
people who. have heard Of Newport's grand
turnouts and elegant villas come here on jour
wish to s'do'' thr most exclusive Watering
places, and ''show off u their money and them
selves, come here; but they are not apt to re-
main long or to repeat their visits with great
frequency. Inside Of the sacred circles, however,
found, alas! too often, and, with some exact
knowledge Of this, have latterly drawn my
bow with short aim. And the other day an
intelligent renler said to me, 'Arn't you
q little too satirica in this Matterf You cer-
foolish estimates Of life aud character, which
seem only consistent with very weak and vul-
s3,ar mind, are possble!"
And my answer to this was, and is, I certainly
means the least exagggcration, and do mean to
say that in the very heart of tEgood society,""
amongst cultivated people, one now and then
finds the foolish estimates Of life and character
which seem only consistent with 1
VERY WEAK AND VULGAR MIND.
And apropos, to illustrate and to Justify nv
opinion, will now relate little circumstance
which has just come under my own observation. |
IN one OF the most charming villas Of Newport |
here is at present Nc" England girl who is |
ties OF good senseand perception which are sup !
England character. Added to these Dative gifts
re those Of sterling education, which has fit
ed the possessor for tirst-class position in one
# New England's frst-class schools. This
oung woman-in most ways the equal, and in
'thers the superior, Of the fine company she
ha1lccs to meet in and out Of this fine
lla-has been not only ignored By some Of the
nests but treated with absolute rudeness, and

ucsts, but the paid companion of the Villas

he has got, and ,resents all interpretation.

'hich the children Of Adam are capable even in
vlizcd and select circles,-circies that pride
themselves upon brains, too. Aud this lightcamc

it'll a smile that had in it a full appreciation of
] the points Of the situation,-a smile that was
1tireiy devoid OF bitterness, and that showed
.alization OF the humorous.
"But why did So1 give up tcachtng?" was the
lestion that naturally arose.
" Because needed change; and as could |
ot live in idleness accepted this position.n

AND THIS IS THE GIRL e
at idle people with not half her Wit or wisdom t.

little surprised to find q woman whose early !.
