SUMNER PLEASURES.

producing Newport at Cresson-Mar-
riages without Fuss or Feathers-A
Breakfast to Msjor e. A. Montooth-
Social Gossip.
MRS. OGDEN, of Sewickley, gave card
party to Mrs. and Miss Finley on satur-
day evening ut which four and si1-handed
euchre were played, and which included. be-
sides the particularly honored guests, Mrs.
Baldwin, Of Rochester, visiting Mrs. James
B. Oliver, and Miss Nina Shields charming
friend, Miss McLain, of New York. The
united opinion concerning Mrs. Ogden's
party places it among the most successful
Of that lady's charming affairs. Mr.. Finley
joined Mrs, FINLEY on Sunday, and after q
daughter, will return to Texas.
JUST as in former seasons, Miss Adele
Grant seems to be indisputably queen at
Newport. She is mentioned as one Of tho
guests at Miss Ogden Mills dinner party on
Saturday night, which concluded with q
dance at Mrs. W. C. Whitney's. At Miss
Leary's Thursday reception her gown was
particularly noted, she appearing in her
favorite white, with long coat of white
lace and q small bonnet. Her sister, Miss
Edith Grant, had q white silk, with a Louis
seize pattern of pink stripes and roses.
Mrs. Grants gown was mauve crepon,
braided with silver, and the close fitting
bonnet which she wore was of the same
color.
There is popular report that Miss Adele
Grant has refused more titled Europeans
than half dozen girls could count as mere
acquaintances, matter not difficult to con-
ceive, as Miss Grant is an exceedingly beau
tfful young woman. Either she Is related to
Mrs. d. A. Stewart, of Ridge avenue, Allie
gheny, and Cresson Springs, or is a very in
innate friend. for several photos of the
New York beauty grace Mrs. Stewards col
lections.
IT is odd with fashionable Newport af-
fectfng driving to so marked a degree, that
people are clubbing the season a coaching
instead Of a dancing one, that Cresson, with
Its magnificent roads and superb scenery
should pin its faith and fashion to one tally
no. IF there were no such blessings at this
smart resort, society people would be
groaning and society papers echoing these
groans; but, as 1t ts the women sit on the
Mountain House piazza and have the chill
dren to do whatever communing with
nature is done there.
There is a talk of somebody venturing on
drag at Cresson this coming season and
then doubtless we will have q reproduction
of Newport at home.
THE marriage of Miss Helen Rhinelander
to the Rev. Lewis Cameron, associate rector
of Calvary Church, New York, in Lucerne
Switzerland, is q straw that shows how the
wind blows. Indications are that fashion
able people are going to indulge in common
place surprises hereafter, and that the invi-
tation to many smart weddings this winter
will be replaced by announcements after the
ceremony has been conducted. Miss Rhine
lander and Mr. Cameron were to be married
this autumn, according to society gossip, but
for some reason, romantic or rational, they
chose instead to have the knot tied in Swift
zerland, where they met. The marriage of
Mrs. John Arthur to Mr.. Edward Sullivan
was OF q like nature and happened here at
home. Guests were invited to a tea party
and remained to see a wedding. Presume
bly, these marriages of surprise are the 1892
editions of "elopement"
THE Misses Montooth gave a breakfast
yesterday morning In honor of the return of
Major Edward A. Montooth from Europe,
and which, doubtless, was more or less Of
thanksgiving affair, since the Major really
did brave the dangers of the deep in the
City of Chicago. Mr.. Charles Montooth met
his brother in New York. One Of the privi-
early breakfasts, which the Misses Mon
tooth affect q good deal, declare them to be
exceedingly agreeable. Sometimes the ladies
give them at home, sometimes at the club,
or at the hotel, just as fancy suggests.
Mrs. ROBERT E. PATTIsoN, of Harrisburg,
and Mrs. R. B. Brown chaperoned one of the
livelfest and loveliest parties that went
from Bed ord to "The Willows this season
on the tallyho. The young people were
nearly all Pittsburgers and included Miss
Lois Bailey the Misses Mckay, Miss Mamie
Brown, Miss Elsie Brown, Miss Mary Baga-
ley and Miss Effe Grange, Mr.. Brooks, Mr..
Robin Bagaley, Mr.. Byers and Mr. Speer, of
Pittsburg; Mr.. Fritz and Mr.. Bancroft, of
Wilmington. and Mr. axton, Of Wheeling.
Mr.. Neal and Mr.. Ralph Bagaley, of Plttsburg,
aided the chaperons in keeping the young
sters within bounds. The Governors wife
was delig hted with her young fittsburg &C
quaintances.
Mr.. JESSE JONES, of Pittsburg, was
crowned with the laurel of success at
bowling party given by Miss Pattison.
daughter of Governor Pattison, at Bedford
on Saturday morning. Mr.. Jones captured
the mems head prize, and to balance matters
Mr.. Kennedy, also OF Pittsburg, came out
triumphantly with the foot prize.
A WOMAN with whom The DISPATCH
has q bowling acquaintance is sitting en-
phatically upon cows in the East End. She
declares she has palpitation of the heart ten
times q minute when walking ont. Her eyes
are twice the age of the rest OF her body, on
account of overexertion in watching for the
droves of cattle that are as numerous in our
Eastern suburbs as the cannon were at Bala-
kIava and as ubiquitous and she begs that
THE DISPATCH H will ask the cows or the cow
drivers to desist. OF course that placid
looking mammalia ruminating on a meal
several hours old, or. perhaps, indulging in
a castles-in-t theair rumination, has no idea
of its fearIulness in the eye of unprotected
femfninity, neither has the cowdriver; but,
an appeal is made to the chiy
alry that may dwell in the breast of either.
Let the cowdriver take an early hour or q
side street to ply his trade. Also, will the
COW not refrain from gazing so earnestly at
the timid, hesitatin2 female, who, infinitely,
under the circumstances, prefers a dead cutf
is the cows generosity df-
rected to the summer girl with her red
parasol.
