sL-(special) --There never could have
been so many charmingly pretty girls at
the White Sulphur as are here this sea-
son. ono is fairly bewildered at the
beauty show. The comfort in II, too, Is
that whilst there is no one conspicuous
beauty par excellence, the average is pro-
nounced by those who watch from season
90 season TO be exceedingly fine. In
every group about the corridors and
piazzas and on the lawn there are 50
many lovely faces under picturesque hats
that Il is like n kaleidoscope ever pre-
venting new and beautiful combinations.
So far, youth and beauty; but age and
beauty, too may always be seen at the
White Sulphur in the more quiet circles
ON the galleries or in the drawing-room'
where some OF the choicest society Of the
country may be found
Men and women who have lived through
the foilies Of the gay life; senators,
judges. doctors, lawyers professors, men
ofsfortune and distinguished in their sew
eral callings; women who have suffered
and grown sweet with years, whose con-
yeraation is brilliant. easy, and gracious
Gil these may be found here, and give
10 society an air of dignity and refine
raent.
