such Door dancing as at Newport.
That Is among the women. The men do
better and they should. Most of the men
on the floor were long past their youth and
certainly have had enough practice. One
funny little fat old maid bounded about the
floor like a rubber ball. supported by her
millions She was gotten up in white and
cherry. The divinely tall girl almost shot
over her partners shoulders and the big
matrons, who would dance, we're propelled
along by painting youths.
Only two girls were beautiful, a few
pretty, several distinguished looking, many
passe aud commonplace. One middle-aged
woman looked so much like domestic that
the correspondents were all in a state of
feveFish concern 20 find out who she was.
1t transpired that she was visiting one OF
the swaggerest families in Newport
After all, nature is a woman. There was
great informality about this dance. They
were all AS one large and congenial family
And that was the pleasanteSG feature of the
whole affair.
ALL A-CoACHING GO.
The great excitement Of the morning ia
the starting of the Aquidneck coach from
the Casino. Henry Aston Carey drives it,
taking a different party every day, and the
ceremony is attended by great gathering
Of swells and natives who congregate be-
fore the Casino. The cottagers all wear
elaborate muslin frocks, their hair brushed
back and compressed into pug the size Of
an egg, large expansive hats, and crowd
together as II fearing TO be mistaken for
natives. There is not the slightest danger
of thnt, however. II they have not all that
reposo which marks the caste of We're de
We're, they have ali an uumistakable some
thing, the invisible brand of the One
Hundred and Fifty, which the natives cam
not emulate.
The women climb to the top OF the coach
as awkwardly as women ever climb to the
top of coaches. Mr.. Carey, a heavy-built,
stopping, extremely ordinary-looking indi-
vidual, takes the reins, the horn toots aud
the morning excitement is over. The spec
tators 90 into the Casino and talk, while
the music plays The cottagers talk 10
perfectly audible tone OF how long it takes
their gowns to wear out they have 30 many,
aud that they suspect their maids Of wear
ing hem on the sly; the natives whisper,
probably about the cottagers
The w. K. Vanderbllts are probably IA
frequent topic of conversation among both
cottagers aud natives. They have built
themselves a large, square, white marble
mausoleum, whose cleaning roof barely
rises above a forest Of trees, the whole hid
den from the vulgar gaze by a lofty iron
wall, hanked 10y an equally lofty marble
one.
A CALL ON THE vANDERBILPs.
The footman of those who are privileged
to call on the Vanderbilts, aud care to do
80, hunts about for hall an hour until he
finds a button which he presses and wants
to kick In stately course a door IL eau
tiously opened and the bead of the Watcn-
man Is thrust forth. He takes the card,
closes the door, rings he'll aud bawls Mrs.
AstOr's or Mrs Goeet's or Mrs. De Forest rs
name through IA telephone. Then at the end
Of another ten minutes tue outer door Is
opened again aud the footman is informed
that Mrs. Vanderbilt Will or viii not re-
ceive, as the case may be.
One day Or. Seward Webb, brother-iu-
law OF Mr.. Vanderbilt, went ont for II walk,
and when he returned he could not find the
press button. The SUI was red ho;, and the
glare from the marble wills hurt his eyes,
aud it is probable that ne swore. he
banged, he shouted, he tried to scale the
wall, he assaulted everything that bore the
remotest resemblance to u tuition. All iu
vain. AT the end Of an hour he was about
to move permanently to the Ocean house.
wneu the watchman, who had been out
making calls, happeEed TO return.
Not reporter, not correspondent has

HOW THE PICTURES WE'RE OBTAINED.

they eventually find their way into the pa
pers. One day the butler, with w1om LIE
had become chummy after the habit Of the
local correspondent, sent for him and to hls
delight presented him with two views Of the
ORA wing room. They we're the result of an
ingenuity worthy Of the fashionable butler
~ no deserves Thackeray to immortal

entirely new way, maddening the InethOdi-
cal butler, and glvea Lin orders at 50 1t
should remain. Then she departed for New
York.
The butler surveyed he room in despair.
1t would have to be sweep, the furniture
removed during the process, and how on
earth was he to pull all the chairs and tables
back In this uuheard of array! Suddenly
he bethought himself Of brilliant scheme.
He sent for the local Photographer and had
pictures taken of tho room from every pos
sible point Of view-pictures two feet square,
so that any article of furniture and its rela-
rive position were unmistakable. And now
Mrs. Blank surveys the pictures or her
drawing room in the Sunday issue OF
great daily and wonders II there is any
thing in spirit photography.
FINE DISCRIMINATION, THIS.
1t is very amusing TO hear the local drivers
contemporary discriminate between hotel
people and cottsgers. Many people come
