| The gayeties have not commenced to any
| appreciable extent yet at any of the sum-
| mer cities by the sea- Nor is this unusual,
! as it is very seldom anything worth the
| mentioning does occur until late in July
| or, in fact till the last month of summer
| The probabilities are that few of the GUS
! temary large balls entertainments of
| marked character VIII be given at Newport
| until quite late in the summer Many OF
| the Newport beaux are at the front, ana
naturally the pleasures and sports Win
| which their names are identified will lam
| gush in consequence. At Bar HafDor,
| which is more particularly the mecca on
| Wash ngtonians. this month Is Always
| quiet but the chances are that Things VIII
| liven up to the usual pitch before the sum-

| The influx of visitors to the educational
| conferences has made the streets unusually
| animated the past week, and especially IN
| the West End where the lady pilgrims,
| copying Washington fashions in the way oil
light dresses and without hats, are enjoy
| ing their stay to the utmost The various
| social events arranged for the delegates
| have been exceedingly pleasant, owing
| largely to the weather, The very thoughts

| folks are somewhat surprised over the
| number of loW-necked and snors-sleeved
| dresses worn during the late Lot spell by
| many young and many more not so young
| ladies'. 1t recalled the before-the-war
styles, and for those who had the courage
there does not seem any good reason for
| adverse criticism. AS the women have
grown to charge up the do-aS-you-like CODE
to the bicycle, low-necked street dresses
may as we'll be included along with the
short skirts, to which everybody has now
| grown accustomed. Self-conscloGsnesS is
getting to BE- lost seEsat ton where no
tons OF what constitutes comfort are con-
! cerped, and nowadays 4 great many things
which heretofore would nave violated all
rules of recognized proprtety are scarcely
| even commented upon The low -necked
| gowns worn by Srandmothers are
| pretty reminders in pictures, and the girls
who affect them now have an idea they
| are quite becoming and JUS as suitable
| to modern needs.
| Their use has brought out the old-time
lace and null fichus. both black and white,
| and black lace shawlS, which have been re-
| posing in darkness so many years. These,
| properly adjusted and gracefully worn, fin
| ish the effect of the girl who really could
pose for the lone left behind over thirty
| years ago.

| Minister and Mrs. Romero left yesterday
