ding supper was served. Many costly

plished daughter Of Mr.. Samuel Hum
phery, the we'll known insurance man,

The goldenrod is poisoning in the
field and by the country wayside, and In
town the merchants are advertising the
first fall dress goeds-two infallible
signs that midsummer is past. To-day
Is high-water mark at the summer re-
SOrts-from now on the season rapidly
wanes-and people are beginning to
think of the Homecoming and making
plans for fall and winter activity. The
growth in the popularity of summer
Fittings during even the last decade is
really remarkable. Ten or fifteen years
ago the exodus among the rich and
fashionable was perhaps nearly so uni
versal as now, but the great army OF
people who live on moderate incomes
seldom thought of closing the home for
two months of the year and moving the
family tree to some spot beneath coun-
try skies. Such, however, Is now prac-
tically the case.
The effect Of this general hegira is
Il
tiles, are scattered for mutual good. The
missionary work Of the summer boarder
would, If properly recorded, I'LL vol
ume. City culture and broadening In
fuences have left their lasting imprint
upon unuumbered country settlements,
and in return the leaven OF rural life
and manners has operated for advan-
tage in the restless, busy natures of the
tOwnsfolk, while both classes should
have found relief, inspiration, and deep
coRtent in the reading Of fresh chap
ter 81 natures matchless page. And
almost everybody, let the start be where
il NAV, from the metropolis or the "cor-
ners," will be ready to say with the lit
tie girl that "the incest part OF going
away is the coming home again"

Misses Emma and Carrie Porter gave
a pleasant party at their home on
Wednesday evening. Dancing was in
dulged in to the music OF Meister's
orchestra, and at a seasonable hour re-
freshments were served.

It's pleasure to note, as hopeful
sign of the times, the decline and fall
off of Ward McAllster, as evidenced by
his meagre following at Newport this
season. He was cad, take him for all
and all; we shall not look upon his like
again-at least one hopes so. With him
60 the stiff and dreary social functions OF
which he was the inspiration and nadttre
dhOteL The swagger set, though not
noted for its brilliancy, has discovered
at last that thirty-eight-course dinners,
germans and dancing parties are not
the thing for summer, even though en-
dorsed by McAllister. These have been
replaced by variety Of social fads,
which seem to please for the hour these
lords and ladies of leisure. Among
these are: Party dancing by experts
usually of some social standing, but
