New York Yacht club, and the Morgans,
Drexels, Vanderbilts n all the other
good old yachting folk have made their
plans for the coming week, if the Sham

gaiety until it is ascertained that she has
arrived in perfect condition. Then scarce

MUSIC MOURNS.
The world of music has gone INTO

marriage, has given UP the piano for the
baton. His new Polish opera, soon to be
given in Dresden, will be brought to this
country, but it is doubtful, the musical

filled in, over the psyche knot, with
American Beauty roses just off the stem.
There were six big ones. The front Of the
hat had a soft White cloud around it. The
second woman wore a bunch of sweet
peas in her corsage: her hat, which was
turned up at both sides, was massed in
front with the natural flowers, and there
were little punches of the peas looping a
founce around her skirt. The third one
was more picturesque still, in a big bunch
of half opened chestnut burrs, which re-

prickly mass of the chestnuts stood tall

RICH WORKINGMEN.
1t is surprising to see the number of
rich men III stay in town m work
while their wives go to Newport and to
Europe and spend the money. Their ex-
pelses are so great that poor pater must
stay in Wall Street and watch the mill
ions or they will melt: and with the
evaporation of the money goes the in
come which supports all the style.
A member of the Stock Exchange
whose fortune is quoted at two millions
told me the other day that his annual in
come was $780, O0, and that it was necs-
sary for him to earn every cent of that
money. A villa at Newport costs $15,0 0
a season.; and a town house exactly a
thousand a week to maintain including
servants, horses and all household ex-
perses. The remaining $35, 600 went upon
entertainments, trips to Europe and
dresses for his wife and two daughters,
and not a cent of this was spent upon a
son at Harvard, whose expenses last
term We're $4,000, a most modest sum for
a rich mans son at Harvard.
And so it is that you see Russell Sage
at work when the thermometer plays
E with three figures; Henry Clews with an
Office full when the waves are breaking
around his Newport cottage; John Jacob
Aston at his office uptown when Fern
cliffe is calling him; and George Gould
in the Western Union while the polo par
ty waits at Southampton. Remember
that millions require as much nursing as
babies and you can't leave them a day or
they will suffer.
The healthiest of all rich men who
work in town in August is J. Pierpont
Morgan, who lays his good health to his
good appetite, which equals two porter
house steaks at a sitting and all the good
