GRgESBRrER WHITE SULPHUR
SPRINGS, August %, 1885.
Fortunate, indeed, are those who now
frequent our southern Saratoga-the
Greenbrier White; for gay and FASH
ionable throng are here enjoying the
varied pleasures IL presents. 1t is con-
coded by visitors from the North, South,
East, and West that no resort in the
United States is SO conspicuous for the
general interchange Of agreeable socla-
bility as this. There are now l,3OO
guests here, and larger proportion
of pretty women than we ever saw con-
gregated elsewhere. They all receive an
ample share Of attention, but it is con-
ceded that the surplus beaux are not
sufficient TO constitute any one OF the
number reigning telle. The ball
room Wednesday night presented one
Of the most brilliant scenes Of the sea-
son. At the end of the usual evening
ball the room was in charge of " the
ladies'" who gave an elegant german
TO their gentlemen friends. There were
eighty couples provided for, and the
able "leader" was greatly compli-
mented upon his skilful management of
so many. In one corner of the ball
room there was table amply supplied
with cake and sandwiches, and lemon
and claret punches. The chaperOnes
were Mrs. Alexander Stuart, Mrs. DR..
Ross, Mrs. Cullen, Mrs. wilkins Bruce,

becomiDgly dressed in handsome pink
silk trimmed with beautiful white lace,
and in her hair she wore ostrich tips to
match.

lovely in an imported dress of blue
