what Is Going On at the Various sum
mer Resorts.
The knot Is tied,
The groom anu bride,
Without an earthly care,
Sail up the lake,
Where they can tako
little sun and air.
A year goes by,
Again July
Comes v Ith its heat and glare.
They seek the lake,
But now they take
A little son and heir.
They already have morning german
at the Cape May hotels, which are dc
scribed by the local papers to an exteD
worthy first-class ball.
Rhode Island girls are in full force
Narragansett, and even if they do wea
many gowns that are recognizing as be
longing to last years wardrobe, the,
look very fresh, pretty and captivating
There are ten Rhode Island girls t.
every unmarried man ut Narragansett
\ Lake George correspondent writes
IL have seldom seen as many viii
some faces as graeed the parlor la,
night during the hours that Were dance
away. 1t is the complaint here,
lacking. Merry parties to explore tn
Businesses of the grim mountains risin
drear and bleak at our back daily trudg
up the steep path to the summit. Bu
agile young men to guide the trenholm.
footsteps Of the girls are sadly in de
mand.
Can anybody understand why at tn,
seaside hotels it invariably takes hal
an hour before a waiter fills your order
No matter if you order the simplest far,
be the number of other diners large
small, the waiter never varies his pro
gramme OF first disappearing with you
order to some mysterious recess, theI
in fifteen minutes returning with glaS
of chopped ice and a napkin, ten min
utes later scattering up with bread an,
butter and in five minutes after coming
up like a racehorse under the whip witt
the tray containing your dinner anC
placing the things before you as if the
last train for home was scheduled tC
leave in five minutes.
According to a Newport cOrrespon.
dent the dudes there have become an
insutferable nuisance, and they are
charged with committing many social
improprietors.
Say what the correspondent will, tn
season at Saratoga is not up to the aveI
age, but the hOtel-keepers are sanguin
that fortnight hence will see ever
caravansary crowded.
At the seaside resorts on damp day
the air plays sad havoc with the ladie
who have what are known as artificial
compilations, and they present $
sad sight as to be worthy of sym
pathy.
Several ladies at Saratoga wea
dresses composed entirely of beads. The.
are worn over light-cOlOred silks and are
nothing if not striking and effective
especially under the gas or electri
light.
II is evident that some of the peopl
at Newport this year have not Ion
been acquainted with wealth, for the
TO the most absurd ani ridiculous
things. and make themselves the laugh
ing stock of habitues who know tn
style in which everything should b
done.
Newport has three coaches-and-fOI
and they are out on Bellevue avcnl
and over the country roads every ate
noon, making as fine display i'll eq,
pages as anyone would care to see. II
display of sunshades made from Il
roofs of these coaches is simply bew
dering.
Mrs. w. X. Nanderbilt's new and -
riOus vehicle at NewwOrt has created Il
decided sensation, and is the talk OF the
town. 1t is not easy to describe it. and
il comes under the head of things that
must be seen to be appreciated.
1t costs $1,000 day to "run" the
Grand Union, Saratoga, which Is pro.
badly the most extensively conducted
of watering.place hotels. 1t is man,
aged on the most liberal plan, aud
it is here people get their moneys
worth.
1t is quite gay at Narragsnsett now,
but the gayety is of nOn-expensive
character, in which everybody can par
ticipate. People do pretty much as
they please at Narragansett, and don't
seem to care what other people say OF
think.
Reports from the Thousand Islands
are of fine weather and increasing ar
rivals, with good prospects and many
promises for the balance of the season
III il did not cost so much TO get there
the crowd would be much greater every
year.
