ries Of the civil war and renowned for the hos
pitality Of its citizens, has long been favorite
resort for washingtonians. It is perhaps the
most entertaining inland town in al Virginia,
if we except the famous wuterins
places From May until November the
season is at its height and there is an un-
ending series Of entertainments for the
enjoyment Of life. To be in the swim one
must forsake occupation and lead life devoid
Of serious considerations. 30 enticing are the
allurements in summer that one is glad to leave
behind him the perplexities of business and the
earnest work of life. II il not to be inferred
that the citizens Of Warrenton haze no pur-
suit or do not labor in lifss vine
yard. for this historic place has among
its residents many Of the Leading men
of the state. who have achieved prominence at
the bar and in other professions. But in the

night which is without its special social
function.
The proximity of the Fauquier White Sui.
phur Springs is added attraction, a. q
german is given there every Tuesday evening,
usually led by Mr.. Turner Gay. who is
