Some of the Quieter folks could find it
In their hearts to regret the height of
the season. which fills the piazza after
breakfast only to scatter the young people
and the young married set to a multiplicity
of engagements ending with a plunge in
the pool that sends them all into dinner as
fresh as roses and as hungry as hunters
An hour after dinner the piazza is desert
ed again for the riding and driving parties
Which form ore of the most delightful feat
ureS of the summer.
Wednesday afternoon an impromptu drive
to the "eascades' was something to re-
member for life time. Braving Cassandra
prophecies we reached the Cascades in
the teeth OF storm that did not break I'M
til we turned our faces homeward.
The "Cascades' themselves remind one
of certain bits in the Lake Country and
the drive wound through mountain gorges
and under overhanging cliffs.
Scarcely less beautiful than the sunset
here is the last chapter in love story
which we were permitted to read Tuesday
evening. That morning Lieutenant Sorley
rode over to announce his engagement, and
ask Mrs. Davis Miss Davis, Mrs. Faile,
Miss Faile, Mr.. Faie, Mr.. John Williams,
Miss Maria Williams and DR.. Ennion Will
hams to his wedding the same evening.
The pretty little dark-eyed bride had
come from far away Galveston to marry
her wounded hero. "McClintic's'' is a SIM
pie but attractive summer resort half way
between the Warm Springs and the Hot
and here, in room paneled and draped
with ths American f1ag garlanded with
mountain laurel, and fragrant with cut
flowers, Louis S. Screy and Anna Morrow
were made man and wife. The ceremony
was followed by an informal supper. after
which the happy pair drove off under a
storm Of rice and good wishes to take the
train for the White Sulphur. One romantic
girl was heard to declare that the only
flaw in the romance was that Lieutenant
Sorley was married in a new uniform-he
should have worn the one riddled by Span
ish bullets.
Mr.. Breckenridge fresh from the Santia-
go fight and Cuban yellow fever, arrived
this morning, and bears painful marks Of
the hardships he has suffered.
Mrs. II. P. Ward of Baltimore gave a de-
lightful little card party Monday evening,
first prize, an exquisite Dresden china
he'll, and Mrs. Lehr the consolation prize.
At an Informal game of cards Tuesday
evening Mrs. Gibson won a very handsome
embroidered and spangled picture frame.
But eucfre does not hold unrivaled sway.
Whist has devotses no less absorbed in the
niceties of the game. Among the whist
players Mrs. W1dmer of Louisville ranks
first and Miss Hopkins of st. Louis is a
close second, while there are others who
play with as much Zest IL with less science
Wednesday afternoon gay party drove
and rode off at $50 O'Clock to Flag Rock to
see the sun set and the moon rise to the
| melody of mandolin, guitar and banjo. The
sun set IN golden spfsndcr, the moon rose

jollity and a delicious supper the party re-
turned at H:30, ready for a speedy repett-
ton of the evenings pletts,Ire The uicnfe.
