COMINGS AND GOING

The last roses of summer are about to
bloom at the fashionable cities by the sea-
| as we'll as at other places. and after a few
grand finale acts the pleasure seekers will
desert the surf for the mountains. 1t is
doubtful, however. that any events out of
the common will mark the fall season, and
| no elaborate incidents of hospitable sort
are talked of or likely to occur. There
| never was a season when such freedom
from the demands of fashionable procedure
could be observed here at home. There
were numbers of people at the very top of
the highest current in the social stream
who remained in town till late in August
and, indeed some are here yet and who IL
| they explained at all their clinging to their
hearthstone would say that they We're
thoroughly comfortable here and could not
see the necessity for desertion. Many who
have been able to indulge their taste for
travelling for the past five or six years. and
especially in foreign lands, where there
nave been so many occasions of unusual
spectacular gorgeousness, begin to feel tired
| OF the chase after new Impressions and are
confronted with the truth that there is
really nothing else they care especially to
see.
At Newport Mrs. Brice's social events
seem to be more in evidence than those
given by the hostesses OF other fine homes.
She has the name of introducing Washing
ton styles in her ways of entertaining and
has regular evening at home each week.
There does not appear to be any social
heights left the Brice family to climb, and
surely as their pleasure is largely gratified
by this circumstance everybody here who
has enjoyed their magnificent hospitality
ought to be pleased.
The cabinet families will be as far sepa-
| rated the coming season as this city of
great distances will permit. The vice presi-
n .l,l-
| lead instead of following the plans of the
cabinet row. 1t has the cream in the way
OF location, having historic ground which
| is a great consideration. particularly when
| 1t can be approached by three car lines.
| The Shermans and the Algers and the fam
| lily of Secretary Porter reside on K street,
| which has the real cabinet finish, so long
| has it been popular locality for Presi-
| dents advisers. Secretary Gage has the
| Sawyer house. which, while one of the
| comparatively new houses, has the most
| pleasant of social histories. State pride
has probably caused the Attorney General
| to select a house on California avenue
| 1t has a nice sound, ard ne will have
| agreeable neighbors there on the hill
| which so beautifully overlooks the city.
| His choice of a residence proves conclu-
| sively that his family has no particular
desire to entertain largely. The Bliss
| Long and Wilson families have not located
as yet in Washington house. and of the
| number the Longs will probably care most
| for an early settlement. The Garys have
a delightful home selected in the Saks
house, Massachusetts avenue above 18th
street, the interior of which has been
| fully described in these columns. After
| the marriage of Miss Lillian Gary Miss
| Madeline Gary will be the only single
| daughter left.
