The only drawback to the gnycty OF New.
| mort this summer has been the scarcity o,
available and agreeable men. Messrs Harry
Cannon. Lewis Ruthortord, Jack Aston. and
Tom Hitchcock have gone over to tho "silen,
shades Of matrimony:" MIR. Thomas Howanl
Is oppressed with business cares and duties
| and his brother Nelson is absent in Europs.
Mr.. T. j. Oakley Rhinelan,'er has assumed the
dignities and importance Of Herr Graf in
his castle on the Rhine. and Mr. LlspenarJ
Stewart, in pursuit OF star in tho
East. or rather In the Northeast. has been ,he
better part OF tho summer at Bar Harbor.
Last, though by no means least. the long III.
ness OF Mr.. +. b. Cutting has compelled him to
look out upon the pleasant world through
tho windows OF sick room. These nh.
sences have made yawning gaps in the
ranks OF golden lads and bows" which
the young fellows Just on the threshold Of
life have been powerless to MI up. Married
men. indeed. have been pressed into the ser.
vice. and have done their duty bravely, but the
maidens in their lovely fieecy robes and OK.
Quisitely becoming ball gowns have not found
1t all as we'll worth while ns they wished.
The best dance that the Casino has seen this
summer was on the night of tho coaching ra.
rade. The coaching people dined in the grill
room and went into the dance aftcrwarl. The
men were nll in green coats and yellow waist.
coats and the ladies in the freshest of toilets.
Mrs. Charles Carroll looked extremely hand.

ments. and Mra. F. w. vanderbilts blue satin
showed otf her lovely colorine to perfection.
Mrs. Roche. who was over again from New
London. wore an exquisite white silk EN-.
broidered with iridescent beads, and all tho
bellies. as If to make amends for previous neg
lect were as charming and gay as possible.
Mrs. Paran Stevens's monster luncheon OF
10. all seated at small tables in the halls and
dining room OF Marietta Villa. and Mrs. Astor's
farewell dinner on the same day. which must
have kept very many people in condition Il
alternately banGueting and diRest e for nearly
twenty-fonr hours. rounded of satisfactorily
the big functions OF August. leaving to sep'em-
Der the opportunity for smaller. frendlier. and
perhaps more refined entertainments.
Two weddings Of prominent men and girls

MIR. Charles A. Post has a handsome country
place. As the connections OF both the Fish and
Post families nre large. tho invitations will
probably be limited. and there are to he no
bridesmaids but the little sisters OF the bride.
the Misses Beatrice and Edith Post. As tho
brides at both these marriages are young wo.
mon OF unusual beauty 1t Is to be hoped that
squad OF man and field piece II necessary
may be on hand to suppress the ilendish ko.
OAK. which sends abroad such hideous repro
ductions OF well-known beauties. with all the
beauty left out. and Just enough likeness 70.
naming to make them easily recognizable.
Men may be pardoned II they shrink from tho
sight OF their counterfeit presentments' AS
exhibited In tho daily prints, but for women
they are absolute libels.
