Fools and Fashion at Bar Harbor.

Correspondence Philadelphia Press.
The place probably has all the beauty that is
claimed for it, but for the sublimest frenzies of
fashion, for foolish men and for silly women it
takes the palm. The people that 60 there do not
go to enjoy the beautiful driving or the delight
full sailing that the place undoubtedly affords
but principally to make fashion plates of them
selves and to see to what extent human Stiffness
can go. There are unquestionably more fashiona-
bile fools to the square inch at Bar Harbor than in
any other spot in the country. There is fash
ionable woman at Rodick's who, on four days
last week. appeared in exactly twenty-five new
dresses each different in style and very elabo-
rate; within four days an average of five and a
half dresses a day. She, of course, changed her
