Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

September smiles are too winSome, how
ever, to permit of a general exodus of
visitors, and the leading hotels and many
of the smaller houses and cottages are as
busy as they were month ago. The
shooting season has commenced and every
day from morn till night the crack of the
guns can he heard from every part of the
low lying meadows which surround this
city on three sides. Game never was more
plentiful, and sportsmen are delighted with
the prospects of a good falls sport.
An elopement was the sensation of the
week. The eighteen-year-old wife of Jo-
seph Templeton has gone with her hus-
bands friend.
The feature Of this season has been the
extravagant profusion of diamonds worn
by the ladies' None have been so poor but
they could sport gems of the purest ray
serene" and the multiplicity of them is as
tonishing. Wherever one goes ne is met
by the scintillating glitter of the costly
stones. The ladies seem to have a desire
to dress in them, they use them SO pro-
miscuously. In the hair, the ears, on the
neck the arms, fingers, breasts, waist,
everywhere an ornament can be placed to
Show .advantageously they are to be seen,
many women wearing upward of 5000
worth at time. The hotel safes carry
immense fortunes every night, all repre-
Sented in diamonds.
Atlantic City will soon have two addi-
tional hotels. which will rival any known
at shore resorts. New York capital will
erect each, the grander one being proposed
by Charles Holmes of the Majestic.
