What do the Newport girls find to do. asks
clara Belle in her New York letter to the
Rspu5ltc, in those sleepy, hot hours of the
afternoon when there are no lawn parties or
rolo matches TO demand their attention?
"Wen," said a maiden to whom this
ouestion was put; 81 wouldn't dare say

The confession sounded bad, but the
voung lady making it said, there are
wicksder occupations, you know than poker
playing"
Among the exciting pastimes Of a fashion
sbe summer life playing cards for small
stakes is really comparatively innocent.
Provided champagne cocktails and cigar
et.es are not made adjuncts of the game the
habit is not more pernicious than gossipiug
or certain novel reading But in poker. as
in more pleasurable employments, the
fashionable girl is pretty sure to go to ex-
tremes. 1t can be believed, therefore, that
during one Of the afternoon games played

young lady gambled away a pair Of
ponies and phaeton after her whole allow
ance for a month was gone, and tlen, ia
state of extraordinary excitement, offered
to put up her lover against $500.
Her opponent in the game was also her
rival in the affections of the young man.
and this proposal was so like a taunt
that the two quarreled. and impolite names
we're hurled back and forth. Not only this,
but that same evening the lover referred to
was carefully informed that his value had
been set by his sweetheart that afternoon at
the Illuminating sum of $500, and this so
hurt his pride that he AZ once turned his
attentions from the hitherto favored beauty
to the one that had won the ponies and
phaeton Thus this game of poker was de-
c.ded disastrous to one of the players.
But" said the merry jade that prattled
the tale, "of course there are not many
games of that kind at Newport. As rule

A reat travelling hat say the New York

was of straw berry and cream straw, with
velvet bows and ostrich plumes as garni-
ture, in which soft gray and strawberry
we're equally mingled. In the gown of gray
the strawberry color was very artisticaily
introduced, the pink color showing the skirt
beneath a very deep openwork hem of pale
gray silk guipure embroidery. This gar
nIture also formed basQues and coat front
over a waistcoat of strawberry silk laced
with gray cords, The rather full sleeves
were all gray from the shoulders to the
elbows, but from here the inner side only
was gray, lacing over a close undersleeve
Of the strawberry. The gray Henri-Deux
cape en- suite was in gray cloth, caught up
on the shoulders with gray and strawberry
passementerie. The high-arched collar and
the wrap entire had q lining of bright
strawberry shot with silver.
To my surprise, says Clara Belle in the

male friend on the avenue, and upon my
expressing wonder at finding him IN town,

In the front of the head, particularly above
the eyes, proceeds almost invariably from
indigestion, and can be treated accordingly.

above the neck, a steldy pain betoGens
congestion or too much blood in the brain.
An excellent remedy for this is to apply a
mustard plaster on the spine Just below the
neck. This almost Invariably draws the
blood away from the head and gives relief.
