snrinps letters. I know, are often tire
some things. and doubtless possess but
little of positive interest for the general
readers. but for the manv who are turning
only the dull leaves Of citv life In August
breath from the mountains will not 90
smiss, especially since II will bear on Its
wings the welcome music OF some dear,
familiar names.
THE SEASON
here Is running delightfully."- away, and Is
CAV and crowded. How is II that however
problematicaI the success OF the summer
may be at other resorts, there Is never o
doubt In regard TO crowd at tne Warm
Chc answer Is ready one: there Is no
such bath in the world, scarcely such a
climate t. be found, and, apart from this,
there Is a something 10 this little valley
that makes one learn to love II, and that
gives it a sort OF hcart-hold on all who
ccme and 20. Just what that something
Is ] cannot tell. and il matters not; but IL
is a ndmeieSS something that Is very sweet.
and that Is as native here as the wonderful
water itself. OF the slopIng bills that shut
Il In from the world.
In the matter OF gaiety the season :s bow
at.its height, as evidenced by the
FUf.L-DRzss BALL
O, wednesday evening. This ball was
given by Colonel and Mrs. Eubank In
commitment TO their guests, and was very
handsome affair. The ballroom was beau-
tifully decorated, the company was hand
some. large. and cosmopolitan, and cfec-
tive toilette did It's part in enhancing the
charms OF the evening. The floral decorl.
tons OF the supper-tabe were conspicu-
ously artistic and unique. In the centre
was suspended large, old-faShioned cal
dron on tripod stand. The stand was ex-
ouisitely wroathed IN delicate green. The
caldron, composed entirely OF daisies, was
beautifully and richly filed with ferns and
flowers Of every hue and color. while be-
meath glowing mass OF tiger-llies, In rich
fams tnts. was spread field of white,
reprcsenting a bed of Goals and effectively
completing the original design. Thus bya
thousand perioratons of the "yillage
smith," and the deit fingers Of q flower
loving little woman, this veritable old ket-
tie Of ants-bellum days became FOR the firSt
time in its ma.ter-oi-fact existence q thing
OF radiant beauty, and, eclipsing all sur
rounding charms, appealed to lovers OF the
beautiful as well as to lovers OF the
gooG. There were other very beautiful
decorations, all executed by the same art
ist. and which cannot even mention; brt
may not be pardoned for saying in tribute
to Them all. that when saw these simple
garden plants and fied.1owerS-the native
bloom and heather OF the hill-so cnchant-
ingly blended together. | felt that in such
love OF flowers as this there was charm
ing inspiration, and emembering the little
poem, " Flowers preach TO us il we will
hear" envied The listening car that IOU-
inq much" could hear them say

TO her stories Just so many hundreds
of words, telling her publishers the
exact number beforehand Miss Lou
Use Alcott affects a back hand style,
making her letters clearly and putting
words far apart so that they are easily
read. Miss Fletcher, Kismet's
author, writes so evenly and distinct,
ly that her pages have the appearance
OF being engraved, and are suggestive
OF much rewriting and care.
The copy of Jean Ingelow shows
uncertain, almost childish characters,
traced on an unruled surface. Nora
Perry inclines to violet ink, and has
q flowing, extremely graceful hand
writing, together with a habit Of
seeming her paper Mrs. A. d. Z.
Whitney has an Italian style of chi
rograpny, and scrawls but few
words in line neither easy to read
nor pretty TO look at. Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps writes with the tremulous
hand OF an aged woman, and Lucy
Lareom's writing looks as if the hand
that welded the pen vas old and stiff
Jennie JunS Mrs Crolvl writes
easily and legibly, as does also Grace
Greenwood Mrs LippincotO. EN-
lily Faithful writes IN an English,
masculine hand Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe wastes no time on shading her
letters, and has way of putting pecu-
liar twists to them that look funny
and yet don't make them illegible.
Mrs. Celia ThaSter is always careful
to leave a margin to the left OF her
page, but writes back hand, and is
apt to run off the sheet to to the right
Mrs Mary Booth, OF Harpers Bazaar,
writes Unevenly, but easily. Mrs
Louise Chandler Moulton sthe model
writer, puuctuates, capitalixes and par
agraphs with the utmost eSactness.
Once, at a New York press dimes,
George William Curtis proposed her
