THE WORLD OF SOCIETY

Gayeties on for Sure at Newport and Bar
Harbor.
Where Washingtonians Arc Enjoying
the Sumner Pleasares-Interest-
ing Pcrsonals-Notes.
The activity sure to come with the last
month of the summer has reached both
Newport and Bar Harbor and both are as
gay ia their own way as a Washington win
ter. The yacht faces In that harbor have
given a particularly aquatic tone to its
everyday pleasuring. and dinners and lawn
parties. without number have been fitting
accomplishments to the diversions on land.
The bali season. IL 1t starts at all, will
likely be a short and merry one, for so far
memories OF the grand doings of the past
year have been rather the thing rather
than any extraordinary preparations for
the present. Debutantes and debut balls are
rEheard of, so far. and titled folks from
across the water have seemingly given this
Summer city the go-by in their travels.
Mrs. Brice's garden party for the Vice
president and Mrs. Hobart was graced by

easiness. but 1t appears the part of the gall
liant brigade deserving criticism were those
who attended in bicycle toys a rather free
and easy Interpretation to an Invitation of
so much social Importance. The Hobarts
mad busy time of 1t while they were at
Newport, but are probably enjoying the
more placid features of the life at Lake
Champlain.
The spectacle presented by the President.
wee President and large part of the cab
net taxing their summer vacation under
the same hotel roof is one which augurs
well for their agreement on other matters,
especially domestic and social affairs,
Whlch go so far toward personal comfort
IN their association with each other. Or
dinarily there Is precious little unanimity
OF opinion in these matters between pres
tdentfal and vice presidential households
and the latter have been Obliged TO take
&C siderable trouble to keep themselves to
the front, and their plans or the absence
of them had very little effect on what the
rest of the official clan had on hand. Now
al! this has changed, and il It continues
will make considerable difference in the
winters social program.
