GREENBRIER, WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
Aug. ia season at the White Sulphur
Springs is liberals social educa-
tion to any man or woman. When
nearly 1000 people, representing every sec
ton of the country and every phase of tenn
perament, are gathered under one roof for
no other object than that of pleasure, some
interesting events can certainly be expected.
The college young man who believes that
he has mastered all that is to be known of
men and things can increase his stock of
knowledge and may put his theories through
course of modification after mingling
with the throngs in the ballroom, the
dining room, in the parlors and on the We
randas.
Secretary of War Endicott, accompanied
by his wife and daughter, and attended by
his secretary, j. B. Randolph, have been
here for more than a week. Miss May Endi-
colt is slender and pretty young woman,
her features delicate and girlish, and her
complexion very fair, and the way
in which her matrimonial future
has been discussed by the gos-
| sips might cause her head to swim if she
knew of it. The Endicotts arc keeping
is seen on the verandas for a greater part
of the day. 1t does not appear that Miss
Endicott is seeking to widen her circle of
acquaintances in spite of the opportunity
offered to know good majority of all the
F. II. V s in existence.
ROBERT E. LEES SON.
Gen. George Washington Custis Lee is a
familiar figure here. He is a son of the
great commander and is president of
Washington-Lee university, at Lexington,
Va. He is an extremely diflident man,
especially in the presence of ladies, and he
wears a strikingly sad expression. He is
perhaps nearing 80 years of age and a
bachelor. He is very warmly regarded by
! the people of Virginia and those of the south
generally.
Gen. b. F. Bristow. who was solicitor
general, and also secretary of the treasury
| under President Grant, was here for tw o
weeks, going hence to Saratoga. Mrs. Bris-
tow ana daughter, Mrs. Draper of Boston,
remained, and left only yesterday for New
| York, where the general resides. They are
| kentuckians, though now firmly attached
to the metropolis, and drew about them
warm admirers.
BEAUTY AT THE SPRINGS.
The most beautiful of the married ladies'
here. and, it is claimed, the loveliest woman
in the south, is Mrs Will Allen of Rich
mond. Miss Mamie Leary, also of Rich
mond, stands at the head of unmarried
beauties She is blonde of the purest
type, with exquisite blue ewes, has "A per-
feet figure a I'd is q thorough society
woman. She spent last winter in Wash
iHgtOn, where she was much admired
and sh" has been belle at Bar Harbor on
several occasions. 1t was said last summer
that she was to marry Gen. Butterted, aad
that she broke her engagement to him at
the instance of a lady who afterward mar
ried @ general herself. She was the toast
of the famous Irish club of this resort, in
its palmy days, and has received more at
tentiOn than usually falls to the lot of even
such "A royal beauty as she is.
OF the very young girls Miss Bessie Leach
of Now YORK is the prettiest. Her face is
not strong, but is what is called sweet"
and she always attracts attention. She is
fair and has liquid violes eyes. Her toilets
are the admiration of the ladies, and she
dresses with much taste
Mrs. Dixon Of Washington, whose hus-
band is DIR. s. b. Dixon of the navy, has
larger number of stunning gowns than any
one else here She leads easily as a dresser,
is petite blonde, and is devoted to horse
back riding. She was a Miss Lanahan of
Baltimore and has big fortune.
n SOCIAL SOVEREIGN.
No one of the thousands of people who
have summered at the White in recent years
fails to remember 10 Lane Sterne, of almost
national reputation. The ladies declare
that he is "holrid" because he says such
startling things, but he is privileged
character and a great favorlte
withal. Ho has led nearly all tho
Germans here and ut his home, Rich
mond, for years, and is n regular social
sovereign. Heprobably says more tender
things in season than any other mau, but
his whisperinas pass for nought with the
Richmond maidens, for they know him.
He arrived last Sunday, and the season
may now be said to have reached a good
gait.
