Correspondence OF tho kchmonl DlsphLcu.l
WARM SPBINGs, BATH COUNTY. Va,
July l6 1899.
The last letter from this place that APP
peared in the columns of the Dispatch an
nounccd that the guests numbered one
hundred. Since that letter was written
people have fOckcd here III unprecedented
numbers. considering the short space that
has elapsed, and the hotel IS now caring for
over two hundred people, with constantly
increasing crowd of arrivals.
The CAV season was opened by german
Monday night, which was pronounced by
all brilliant success. Mr.. George J.. W.
Gibson. Of Baltimore. led in his usual hap
py STYLE and succeeded IN conducting a
very pretty a well as enjoyable german.
Dancing in the Barn and the lorke were
danced during the iutermisIons.
As usual at the Warm Springs, every
thing went smoothly and gracefully on,
and all the accessories were in proper
shape.
The german was not the result Of many
days planning. but was gotten up from
the spontaneous desire 10 have the usual
monotony of springs life broken up at
the Warm Springs, at least. -.
For these reasons the notice 10 the ladies
was short, and their costumes were not
elaborate. but TO the taste Of the writer
tins is usually not a defect. and SO IL proved
on this occasion.
Many Il witching smile. many bcaming
face. and many graceful figure Whlried
in the maZes of the dance, and presented q
scene. set in the flashing of the brilliant
lights, that. In the words of an enthusiastic
spectator. was striking constellation OF
rare beauty. The writer would Ike 10 spe-
city these stars that called forth such an
unusual enconium. but want OF space for
bids.
Among the large number Of arrivals many
have come that help TO increase the num-
Der of entertaining people that one always
finds here.
Mrs. and the Misses Maury, Of Washing
ton. all ladies of remarkable talent in those
| accomplishments which elicit the admira-
ti0n and prove the entertainment OF others,
have returned here after an absence OF seye-
raj years.
Mr.. and Mrs. John f. Crawford, and Miss
Annie Haskell. of Columbia, :. c., have all
been here before. and it seems quite natural
and pleasant to speak of the Crawford cot
tage rs occupied 10y its proper inhabitants.
Miss Haskell is a White sulphur belle who
made many friends when she was here last
year
DR.. and Mrs. Ancrum, Of Charleston. S.
c., are again at the Warm, and as usual are
generally known and )puIar.
Inc Hon. OdldcrOn carlisle, OF NdSNlu--
ton, with his family, has taken q cottage
and brought up IA fine stable of blooded
horses. and will doubtless enjoy many of
the beautiful drives the region affords.
Rear-Admiral Fairfax, United states
navy. who stayed here until late in last sea
son, has returned with Mrs. Fairfax, who
is accompanied by her daughter, Miss
Reese. Of HagerstOwn, Md.
Mrs NJ. W. Gait. Mrs. Reginald Kendall,
Mrs. II. +. Davis and Miss Davis, Of Wash
ington. are pleasant party who seem to
be as glad to come to the Warm as the
Warm is glad to extend its welcome to
them.
Mrs. u. w. Thomas and Mr.. w; II.
Thomas, Of Richmond, are among those
who have lately registered.
Knight enlarge this list, but ! prefer 10
extend TO those who desire TO learn fur
ther of the Warm and its inmates a hearty
invitation to come and meet the many
pleasant people who are now here as well
as those who are on the way.
Tennis is the usual morning and after
noon amusement. while hunting and FISH
ing parties are constantly planned.
