you know. Oh give me AK instead Of
Newport every time, by which it is
readily seen that an exclusive society
belle likes lark as well as anyone.
As Newort is the favored resort of the
fashionables, so Saratoga and Long
Branch are selected by the rich women
the women who blaze with diamonds,
who have ninety-nine trunks of indie
scribable fnery, and who are not over
particular as to their parts of speech.
To be sure, worry many refined and brill
liant women are seen at both these re-
sorts, but they are also Enthusiastically the
bourne of the nouveau richesse.
The actresses, too, are fond of Long
Branch. Maggie Mitchell and Lille
Langtry both have cottages there, and
hundreds of lesser stars twinkle gaily
there during the season. Very many
actresses go abroad for rest. recreation,
new gowns and new plays. The exodus
in this direction has already begun. Go
down any day to see a transatlantic
steamer off, and among the soberly clad
and uninteresting feminine voyagers you
will find fair sprinkling of lemon haired
and startlingly gowned ladies, whose
conversation will at once give you clew,
not only to that station in life to which
it has pleased Providence to call them,
but to their actual identity as well.
You viii catch such expressions as ION
the road, ".in front, "my mash, "make-

and you will quickly comprehend that
the American drama is setting out for
fresh war paint and tomahawks.
There are the dressmakers, too, who
go over for the fashions and come back
with their trunks fairly bursting with
gowns ostensibly for themselves, but
in reality for their smart customers
There are women buyers for many
of the large dry goods establishments
of the town, who combine business
and pleasure on their summer va
cation. There are. moreover. the women
'complexionists," who go over to Lon
don and Paris for the latest toilet fads
formulas for identifying the skin, recipes
for creams, oils, perfumes, sweet scented
waters, odors and sachets. The most
famous one in town goes every sum-
mer to Paris, where she consults the
leading chemists and physicians and
returns with panacea for every bit Of
ugliness the feminine face or form can
show. Another coplplexionist has al
ready gone to spend the summer with
Patti, who is her gre atest drawing card
The newspaper wtmeH are satisfied if
they get change of work. Happy the
scribbler who is sent to the mountains
or seashore to write up the gowns, jew
els horses and carriages of her more fa-
vored sisters. There are few writers
who draw comfortable enough salaries
to warrant their resting for several
weeks. The smartest fashion writer OF
the town goes abroad each season for
new ideas and comes back With stock
sufficient for the next winters work, but
she is glittering exception. The ordi-
nary newspaper woman counts fort
nights vacation in the mountains or by
the sea ample enough time to rest that
weary machine, the brain, for its next
season Of grinding out "copy.n
