Says the World: "Ex-Gov. and Mrs.
George p. Wetmore and the Misses Wet
more will return TO this side by the mid.
die of June and open Chateau "Sur Mer,"
their Newport cottage. They are old
Newporters, and as is somewhat unusual
there, the house they live in was built by
the present owners father. This was
somewhere about 1916, and about the
time the first Ocean House was burned.
Mr.. Wetmore, the father returned to this
country from China then with Ed
ward King, and both built houses at New
port. The Wetmore cottage is spacious
and handsome and holds its own with any
of the more modern affairs. That is with
the exception of the new splendid resi-
dences of the Vanderbilts, Goelets,
Wolfes, now Lorillards, and Mrs. Brooks,
nee Higgins"
And e adds, Tn regard to the Carey
coaching project all Is yet vague. In
fact, Observation-Disclosures ithths-
road between Newport and Tiverton are a
little scepticle. 1t is q distance OF twelve
miles to and fro, and a solid half foot of
dust all the way. Unless all the present
supply of Newport water can be utilized
in laying this, a drive over it would
be misery. That everyone in Newport is
anxious to have some drive with a coun-
try club terminus where lunches and din
ners can be procured goes without say
