tlons for the marked success OF the Catskill

Mrs. Grundy writes to the New York Mail
that a great curiosity at Newport is the
married man who pays any attention to his
own wife" Also that American girls vino
wed titled Englishmen soon wish that they
had not been SO foolish.
Some of the Saratoga hotel proprietors
have come to the conclusion that the races
are of no benefit to them, and they would be
glad to have them discontinued more espe-
cially as they bring to Saratoga class of peo-
pie decidedly Objectionable.
One of the Cape May hotel men has plan
for building hotel literally in the sea be-
yond the breakers. The idea is to build It on
piles like an IRON pier and connect it with
the beach by bridges. In such house
everybody could have the lways-asked-for
room looking out on the sea-"
From the windows and balconies of the
Palisades Mountain House are presented
some of the finest views of the Hudson and
OF the surrounding country that it is posi-
BILE to find elsewhere The hotel stands 375
feet above the river, views of which for
miles up and down it commands.
1t is remarked of the ladies at the Long
Branch hotels that they wear enough dia-
monds at breakfast to chagrln lady dressed
for a ball. Diamonds at the Branch are as
common as SHERMAN shentlemen," and
their wives and daughters are the ones who
make the profuse and inappropriate exposi-
ton of the precious stones.
: Enthusiastic people say that one of the
grandest and most beautiful views in the

A letter writer has discovered that Atlantic
City is paradise for red-headed girls. "More
red-headed girls can be found there to the
square inch" he says ethan anywhere else
along the coast. They may be seen sporting
in the surf in blue box-plaited panties with
red sash around the waist; they are encoun-
tered every few steps along the board walk;
in cardinal jerseys and vermIllion stockings
they peep out from under crimson parasols;
they recline against red upholstery in the
hotels and may be found in red-striped pa
vilions drying their hair in the sun.
AT OLD ORCHARD BEACH.
Old Orchard seems to have had new life in
fused into it by being set off from Saco last
winter and made an Independent town. The
immediate results are a steam fire-engine,
street lights, the electric light, sidewalks,
four new hotels, ''the largest seaside skating
rink in the world" and a daily newspaper
called the Summer Rambles, which is owned
and edited by Mrs. c. s. Hamilton who is
clearly a woman of opinions and pluck and
who, in the first issue of her paper, conf
IDENTITY predicts that Old Orchard Beach will
sin few years rival the finest watering
places in the country" The Orchard is al
ready putting on city airs to the extent of
owning an art club which gives receptions
and it has organized stock company to
build big pier or buy the one at Rock
away, which is said to be for sale.
AT ATLANTIC CITY.
The girls at Atlantic City take upon them
selves special credit because they do not
wear padded bathing suits. The Philadel
phia girls regard them with special scorn and
aversion, and yet down at Cape May, where
the Philadelphia girls congregate too, suits
of this kind are said to be on hire. At many
other fashionable resorts they are declared to
be sold openly, and alas, bought readily be-
cause the padding looks natural even after
sousing i'll the water. Fancy bathing suits
are said to be the fashion this summer, and
a woman was seen bathing at Atlantic City
the other day clad in cream colored hose,
canvas CATERS bound with blue, red elk
turban red jersey and pale blue breeches,
cut short and edged with lace. One of the
most modest and yet elegant bathing suits
on the beach there is worn by young mar
ried woman of Philadelphia. 1t is all of
black, with long Turkish trousers below the
skirt, which is very much plated.
AT WHITE SULPHUR.
New York Tribune Letter.
The White Sulphur Springs hotel is not
only the sole hotel at White Sulphur
Springs it is White Sulphur Springs. 1t is
the village, and with its full summer popu-
lation, the largest village within one hundred
miles. The post and telegraph and express
offices are within the grounds tits satisfy
ing thing to wander up and down the broad
portico at the front of the house after sup
per. The evening is cool-the days, which
are never very warm, are always followed by
mild and agreeable nights-and the ladies
are wrapped in their fieecy mantles as they
sit talking in their rich, vibrant Southern
voices. The men. in their wide-brimmed
hats, expansive shirt bosoms and square toed
boots, sit chatting with them, or. when
younger, in modified dress walk with
