capement of Mr.. Rotch to Miss Handy, of
Baltimore, would have been moro neatly in
accordance with fact if the nams OF Miss
Handy had been substituted for that of
another fair oman. NJ. Rotch and Mrs.
Egglsston are frequently seen walking
together, and q tall. graceful couple they
make.
One must not forget George Broome. who
is spending the entire fall season at Lenox,
and who enjoys tho distinction Of possess
sing the largest wardrobe of any man in
America, He has trousers to a number that
is beyond counting, and his coats, vests and
ties are almost equally numerous. With
each change of suit there is o new walking
stick taken from the depths Of Mi.
Broome's luggage, and each time he wears
a new hat it has been noticed that his shoes
are also Of 3 different pattern than any he
to be the new Berry Wall, and when he
travels he has q van all to himself for trans
porting his numerous bags, valises II
trunks.
In Saratoga, every other distinguished
looking man one sees is pointed m one Of
the Hiltons.'' At Lsnox he is pretty sure to
be zone of the Frelinghuysens."
Everything is reckoned at such high
figures that one is quite disappointed to
learn that the Frelinghuysens have rented
their cottage for the season for the small
sum of $500. And that they are living in

The land round about sells for upwards
of $14,000 per acre, and much OF it ia not
for sale at snv price.
Mrs. Sloans's house-Mrs. Sloane was a
Vanderbilt, you know-eost about two
millions, with the grounds around it, and
cost half as much again. Mr.. Jessop's
barn is as pretty as any country villa, and
Mr.. Sloans's is as pretentious as the casino
in Central park.
Mr.. Wsstinghouse's icehouse, with tho
picturesque Esquimo shivering on top of
1t, il not unlike a country church. And the
cottages built for the servants are so grand
that one is tempted to "fallto and become
a farm hand"
Gen. Rathbons's place is not neatly so
grand, but 1t Id historic. Beeoher lived
there and wrote in one OF the windows.
Pierrepont Morgan and Joseph Pulitzer
have both occupied the house during vari-
Gus summers.
It is rumored that the Goelets will soon
build upon the property which they own,
and UPON which there is now q plain farm
house. Mr.. Goelet was anxious to erect a
house there three years ago. But Mrs.
Goelet chose Newport as being more fash
ionable and satisfactory for the money.
There are so many bright pretty girls at
Lsnox that one is bewildered by the galaxy
of loveliness. Miss Kitty Candy is a very
fair girl with a frank, open countenance
ana 4 style OF loneliness which is neither
blonde nor brunette. The brightest girls
of the season are said to be. the Misses Ives,
and their bon mots go the rounds of Leno1
society.
Mrs. Turnurs, she who was-as they say
in the country-Miss Lanisr, ia among the
sprlghtliest of young matrons, and cuts an
awful pretty figure when she drives out
with a cay crowd which she is entertaining
as her guests.
The Westin Qhouses do not 90 into societv
as extensively as do the other owners Of
large estates. Having no grown up children
their interests are less in the gayeties of the
season and they find more pleasure in plan
ming improvements in their already mag
niicent establishment. They have one
