COtillon-The Won Schroeder
Dinner Party

Del Monte July 27.-Rowing, boating, bowl
ing, fishing, Notwithstanding and dancing sum
up the pleasures this week at Del Monte. The
weather has been so warm and pleasant that
everybody has gone in for outdoor sports, espe-
cislly tennis and bathing, which have been
largely INDUCED in by the guests. Good
weather and pretty girls are what the place
now abounds in. There is a gay crowd down
who, with the officers of the regulars who are
at the hotel, make it lively. Very few of the
younger men have yet arrived, but the army
officers have proven more than a fair substi+
tute. There is smart set of girls here.
They are typical summer girls, and can fit
themselves for any occasion from swimming to
bowling, display great skill at tennis and can
ride the ''blke fully as well. Cycling has had
quite rest since wheels were excluded from
the Cypress drive. There are yet many who
content themselves with the grounds, While
number venture out as far as the ghthouse.
The girls all have very stunning hiking
gowns, though they have not come to knieker-
bockers, but wear short skirts and leggins.
Mrs Murphy who is fond OF this pastime wears
chic gown of black cheviot, with short skirt
and tan colored leggins fastened all the way MP
the sides with tiny bright buckles. Others who
ride are Mrs. Pope, Miss Boss, the Misses Will
Hams, Miss Taylor and Miss Jerome. These
girls divide their time between riding and
swimming. Miss Boss is an expert swimmer
and thinks nothing OF swimming to the raft
while taking her daily plunge. Miss Williams,
her companion, also swims we'll. The Two
together are considered the most athletic girls
here.
