is tea being brought out. and with it thin
sandwiches, golden cake and some or the
dainty cordials affected for this time. IL Is
a pretty picture-the matrons In their
bright summer silks, the players in their
gaily striped gowns, and here and there
man in white and blue fannels. You are
willing to be talked to-you listen with
your eyes half shut, and it almost seems a
shame, when you are warned that now 1t IS
time to drive.
PRINCELY RESIDENTS AND A PROCESSION
OF HANDSOME TURNOUT.
The victoria awaits you. 1t is large and
swung on C-springs. so that the motion is
like that of q cradle; the men are IN white
breeches aud tops. blue coats with gold but
tons and white gloves. the harness Is
mounted In BRASS and there is no vulgsr
juggling of chains, for those OF the highest
caste do not nesd to announce their coming
as with loud trumpet. Your gown! 1t is
of pale rose silk aud crepe; on your head is
a straw hat wreathed sn roses and your face
is shaded by parasol of rose tulle. What
a procession it isl Heavy, ponderous Ian
daus, light village CARTS the civilized buck
board, dog-carts, currlcles and every now
and then four in hand that looks mass
of colors, for Newport dresses to drive and
and the effect is most attractive. You are
bowling aud smiling, for everybody-the
Belmonts, the Havemeyers, the Astors. the
Vanderbilts, the Goelets. the Lorillards, all
of US, are out to see the rest of the world.
CASINO GAYETY.
1t Is nearly o clock when home is reached,
and YOU are to dine at s, and then for
dance at the Casino. Dinner is as elaborate
as if it was the midst of the season in town;
everybody is in evening dress, and you
well, you look like Puritan rose all in
white with your bodice made almost high,
just showing a little of your throat, as
French and good taste demand is proper for
a young girl At 1920 the start is made
| for the Casino and IL o'clock finds you
| dancing with the commodore of the Sphinx
| to the tune of one of the Strauss waltZes-
| You wonder il people ever grow tired of
dancing-you feel as if there was something
| in the air, or in the music that makes you
| want to keep on forever, and you never
| think that perhaps naughty Cupid is play

| lovely for you.
| At l o'clock you leave. AS there is no
supper at the Casino dances your chaperon
has asked a few intimate friends to come
and sup with her. There are salads, ices
aud a wonderful c4p. You sit on the
| verauda and the sailor lad brings you your
| supper. You talk about the moon, and
wonder how the Sphinx looks now when the
water must seem like mirror. Coz How
foolish he is to suggest it. You would
never be permitted. You would make a
| dreadful slot of taIkr' Then he tells you
how lovely it would be to sail in the south
ern seas on that ship; to be the Lady of the

SUGGESTIVE NEWPORT LETTER.
The postman carries little letter next
dey from your aunt, who is your chaperon,
to your mother. This is what she wrote:
DEAR GERALDINE-You have probably
heard from Dorothy and the commodore of
| the Sphinx. My dear. if your other daugh-
ters are like her, l will marry them all for
you and give them, as she has gotten. the
catch of the season. Your mode of educa-
| ton is a SUCCESS. She is SO deliciously de-
mure and yet she is so perfectly wsll-bred
and well-informed. She is the typical
ingenue, and consequently attracted all the
| men, VINO were ulreo ID uedCn Ol tue letCn-
ing girls the fast ones and their kind. |
have to apologize to you for doubling your
wisdom, but really it did not seem possible
| that quiet home, an education supervised
by mother, could have such a result. II
had daughter should ask you to mother
her. Dorothy seems to have no realization
of the commodore's wealth, but seems salts
fed with his love. 1t is beautiful There
certainly is something in the air Of New
| mort conducive TO lOVa-maklnp. Won
must arrange to let me have another daugh-
ter for next season. Lovingly,
EDITH GORDON GRAHAM"
