49,, fhere and everywhere for the last
.,.b, weeks. I have come to the conclu-
~, that if 1 had a daughter who wished
ter the holy bonds of matrimonp I
,,,,ild fetch her to Newport. Here every
ming IS dignified and rich; nobody frivols
o,d nobody enjoys herself very much I'M
,.ss she happens to be richer and more
.,nnid than all the rest, and then she Is
s,ol<en of with approval, and everybody
s,vs she possesses 80 much repose."
INV NAV call IL ''repose." L insist that
# is insanity. Here you must dress and
dress and dress. Your clothes must bear
.be stamp of Worth, Redfern and Paqujn,
while Virot must cover your head.
However each has his own time and
disolav for his own special smartness. Pa
amin fits YOU out in some delicious cotton
,pi7a that was to cost $50, or perhaps
madame would allow a very little more,
end .the very little more means $50, but
&c the artist in dress assures madame that
she would not have herself appear as any
thing but perfection when it is question
of few dollars, and madame is tiattered,
she pays her bill and is gladly fooled Pa
min dresses her for the morning, when
she stands out on the smooth green lawn
with a wonderful mass of color before her,
great parterres of flowers, gorgeous tulips,
bright roses and rich, red geraniums all
seeming to bow a stately good morning to
her

French tailor whose name is We're de
We're set do not whisper permits my lady
TO be dressed in a wonderful white serge
OF the creation, and then she goes on the
yacht built on the Clyde.
The afternoon finds my lady dressed by
Worth. She is in some sort of a sheeny
looking silk, which seems covered with
roses while on her head is a small hat
made entirely of rosebuds. In her hands,
covered with white kid, is parasol made
of white, fluffy stuff, a handle of pink
coral and gold, having cost enough 10

and butter and beef for the year. My
lady rides in her victoria, large and hung
on c springs so that the motion is as easy
as if one were being rocked veritably on
the pillows of the ocean, with no incI-
nation to be mot quite Well"
Up and down, up and down the car
riages parade, while the pretty rider has
a cool bow for this one, a stately inch-
nation of her head for another and an
almost imperceptible bow for that other
person whom she barely knows.
Familiarity is not the thing at New
port. You are well acquainted with this
or that man or this or that woman. who
went to the same dancing school with
you, who went to the same parties with
you and WHO has been educated in the
same artificial way you have. Oh,
don't mean that the very fashionable
women never do kindnesses for they do
many OF them. When so much time is
given to dress, when so much thought
must be given to having ones jewels re-
set and when one must entertain and must
VISIT, really, after all, how can one have
time to go among the Apoor and suffer
agonies afterward through seeing how
unpieasantly they are situated?
But we had a little romance here for
all. The most dignified lady in the land,
the one who traced her blue, blue blood
pack TO the beginning of the blue skies,
the woman to get into whose house meant
the entree to real society, concluded this
year TO fetch one of her cousins from
away down near New Orleans to visit her
Inc lady-we will call her Nine. Grand

was an Old one, how could you or I know

read each others hearts, how few would
we count as entirely selfish!
