 Out at the links of the Kebo Valley club house they play golf because they like it, and not, as at Newport, because they are ''faddy." Kebo is an ideal country club, set around with green hills. The golf course is too smooth, according to English ideas, but the summer men in checked tweed knicl1er- lockers and Highland gaiters and the summer girls in blue duck and scarlet linen swing their sticks as zealously as if life depended on long drives and keeping well up with the ball.
 Mrs. ". Seward Webb is the best golfer among the women who have been over the links this summer She wears tartan plaid blouse and short black slzirt-lool1s as if she meant busi- ness-and makes scores worthy of record every day.
 Mrs. John Jacob Astor is good golfer also, but Is beaten by Miss ! Rockefeller, perhaps the richest heiress in America This much envied young woman appears on the links with her fance, Mr. Harold Mccormick, of Chi ,cago. she in white duck, he ditto; and whether they make records or not, there is always the scent of the wild roses and the red raspberries, and the flicker of the sun through the birch trees to make life fairer and fuller of enjoyment.
 The girl who drives at Bar Harbor may have smart little trap, but she is much more apt to handle the lines from the front seat of a blackboard. The roads are so hilly that the Mount Desert blackboard, one of the handsOm- est and most comfortable vehicles in America. has been evolved. Miss Helen Briee, while on her visit from New port, showed her ability to govern even a fve-seated blackboard Miss Morton and Miss Garland are good drivers, but the essence of jo11ity in 'EdeD'-though don't need the quo tation marks, for such is the truly name of the township-is attained only when the blackboard has three on a seat with strong man at the reins and goes tearing uphill and down, through woods rich in the balsam of fir and pine trees to some bold summit, where one can dismember cold chicken and eat anehovy sandwiches as one looks down | two thousand feet of precipice into the chafng ocean. A crimson rug or big crimson umbrella is peculiarly effec- tive property to bring to picnic of this order, and against such back ground the summer girl doesn't live who isn't irresistible. Pretty, slender girls, with brilliant mobile faces. seem to be drawn here by instinct, and among them all Miss Julia Dent Grant. Col Fred Grants beautiful daughter, comes near to being the reigning belle.
 Miss Grant is one of the best-dressed girls at Bar Harbor, as well as one of the prettiest, and her froclts at the l Kebo dinner dances are models of French taste and ingenuity. Sweet pea tinted tulles, over pale pink silk, has been one of her recent successes. Pale canary tulle with golden rod garnitures was another and decidedly sunshiny gown.
 Mrs. Potter Palmer's toilets are worthy of remark everywhere and al- ways. The other night at Kebo she wore a Dresden patterned silk founced with black lace and with a black lace bertha to the low bodice. At a recent dinner she wore a soft Vatican satin with black velvet and jet garnitures. At small luncheon she wore black ac- cordion-plaited muslin with no adorn- ment but punches of sweet peas.
 At Kebo Mrs. Levi P Morton wore soft, undressed black satin. Miss Nor
