GREENBRIER WHITE SULPHER
SPRINGS. W VA, July 21.--Durng tho
past week many changes have taken place
in the White, for where quiet rcigned, now
IS heard the silvery chimes Of laughter;
where wide. cool shady walks stretched
away under the trees. now varicolored
draperies flutter. and crowds come ana so
in search Of pleasant hooks. Indeed, tho
number Of guests has been so much in
creased that tho place looks gay as
city street.
The evenings are more Interesting IMAM
ever. and each single night marks inc
arrival of some new belle. 1t IS surprising
how much variety and change ana won,
derful ingenuity one can put into pan
dress, OF course. the creations are tho
designs Of the PARKWAY modistcs, but tho
beauty and the perfection belongs only
10 the Girl who wears il. Who would look
at a bail dress without the girl in ltf
Now 90 specify some particularly at
tractlvc ones. noticed the gown worn
Tonight by Miss Chauvennet. Of Phila-
dolphia. that was brilliant red. Miss Chau-
vennet IS q dark-haired girl, with sweet
serious face which is well supported by
the flame Of her gown. Miss Proudht wore
q gown of turuuoise-blue. embroidered in
silverv lights and shades. a sinuous,
shimmcring cloud Of beauty. She wears
with this gown d hat made Of bunc1 or
spancled silk Tor crown. and two enor-
nous plumes for the rest Of it-really a
wonderful thing, and strkingly becoming.
Miss Hancock, of Richmond, IS also
among the artistic cOstumers. and her
gowns are harmonious disniiied, and al
together charming, and being SO varied,
there seems nothing especial 20 designate
about them Miss Francis Saunders, OF
Lexington. Ky, is among the prettlly-
dressed girls in the ballroom attire Yet
Miss Saundars's garb seems not so much
a part of artificial attraction as COM
pletion of herself, and thereby most
beautiful adjunct.
II il were quite worth while in this Sos-
siDpv fashion to mention any married
ladies' who frequent the place Of music
and rhythmic motion / would refer 10
Airs. Gibson, Of Lexington, KY Mrs. CID
son is one Of tho handsOmest ladies' ~
the White and as it is quite out OF the
question 10 hope for her portrait, whlle
am giving those of White sulphur
guests. 1 may be pardOned for saying that
She IS the pOssessor of the most exquisite
red-gold hair il has ever been this artist s
luck 20 see. And that she is iaVorlte
with all who know her. one has only 10
watch the crowds she so brightly enter
tains 10 be convinced. Mr.. and Mrs. Glib
son have q cottage here, and none attract
moro attention when about the motel
than do these young people.
MIR. and Mrs Lambeth, Of St. LOUIS,
are here. and are much admired.
But speaking of young married ladies'
who do and who do not, take part in the
gayeties OF the White. it is Dretty thing
10 see one so strong in her convictions OF
RIGHT and wrong as TO resist all tempta-
ton. when such things as she classes
among the sins lure her TO her utmost
strength-such as cards. dancing, &c. one
such woman is Mrs. Dudley, Of Danville
Va. Her quiet grace. and withal eager
enjoyment of all sober pleasures while
she firmly resists everything Ike caro-
playing ana dancing, is beautiful 20 see.
Airs. Dudley has not danced here this
summer though by some odd chance her
name got in the list Of those who do.
However. Mrs. Dudley used to be BALI
room leader Of gayeties.
Among the new faces in the ballroom
to whom am attracted are those of Miss
Ellis. of st. Louis Miss Stewart, Of Bal
timore: Miss Taylor. of Orange county,
Va; Miss Caffery. OF Louisiana.
A party of happy folks were here to-
night only for the pleasures Of the
White. and most OF them enjoyed the
evening dancing. These were Mr.. ana
Mrs Harry Moore, Of Ronceverte, w.
Va. Miss Florence Best. Miss Mae Best;
Miss Atkins. OF Virginia; Mrs. HurXtalL
of Cincinnati; Mr.. Thomas, DR.. Thoni-
SON. and Mr. Brady, all of Ronceverte'
W. Va
Mrs Tudor. Of Richmond, the guest or
Mr.. John y. Branch. enjoys the beauties
and comforts Of the White this week.
DIR. Tudor went 90 Richmond for one day
in response TO the call Of distress among
his beloved flock, a member OF his church
having died. He will return tonight.
Among those who have lately arrived
from virginia are Mr.. and Mrs. wilkins
Bruce. Mr. Barton Grundy and family,
Mrs christian and SONS. Mrs. Hancock,
Miss Lena Hancock. Miss Bessie HAN
cock. Miss Daisy Hancock Miss Laura
To,,lor < $. McHouch. and many others.
Ae I have said. the social functions are
almost confined to card parties. bowling
rarties. and lawn fetes. with nightly
hon But those who care for vocal music
are often entertained by Mrs. Poole OF
New York. who sings with great sweet
rces and volume. Mrs Cecil Poole IS
Nirginian.
wrote last week that the guests az
forded in numbers, more men thah
ladies. This does not longer seem 70 be
the case. for the way the girls nave beeh
nocking here lately leaves the dancing
rontlenen far in the minority. Indeed,
~ nresent this would be fair field Tor
fine fellows"
