Louisville Ky, gave am immense bowling
party You will understand how i'm
mense when i ten YOU there were 80 per-
sOus at this party. The alley was crowd
e., bIimmed over at the doors, and lovely
girls sat about i'm groups outside. Prizes
were won by Mr.. Wilson, of Nashville,
Tenn, and Miss Murray, of Louisville;
Miss Whaley of Florida ana also
Richmond lady. who carefully warns me
mot 10 ehlogize her" in cold type. The
temutafion is terrible. 1 freely admit so
perfectly charming is this White sulphur
guest But them you know l am not
writing fiction. ana I find it safer to Iced
an the warnings ! get. and / assure You
They are many. Therefore, suffice IT 10
say this prize was won by fine triumph
over $50 others by a Richmond lady, who
is very popular at the White sulphur.
Now. as 10 handsome women here. This
IS the famed campinS-grou of beautitul
women of the past. Oh. how many bril-
liant eyes have here mixed together
and made love! This place is famous for
its bellies OF the past. Your corresponds
ent brings very appreciauve eyes to view
the beauties here; not cold newspaper
eyes 10 make copy of folks, but the eyes
OF an artist which have never beeh
stated. and never will be. is impossi-
bic 10 judge of just what treat TO thls
artists eyes is the throng of beautiful
women who cOngregate In the lobby OF
the ballroom. the long galleries at night;
and il Is conceded by the old haoilues
that there never was known just so many
ana so handsome a throng before.
! assure you it is quite worth journey
ont of your hot city 10 see this sight.
From the silver-haired grande dame TO me
blushing debutante, the grades are pc
feet and harmonious. Hugh buncnos or
roses from the Richmond florists; dh-
ported and thousaud-dollar gowns, or
course. have their fun share IN IL eX-
ouisite picture; yet. it is on the human
face that the great glow is seeI. and
that IS TO me the true pleasure.
Among the interesting ladies here l
count Miss Mary c. Cook, Of Columbus,
Ga. Miss Cook is very quiet ana Withai
regal IN her manners, but she makes
numbers Of friends in all classes-the
gay set and the quiet set alike. MISS
Cook is the daughter Of the Georgia lady
bv that name who wrote several sue
cessfu books some years ago, one or
which Lippiucotts published, and is en-
titled. "Antc-Bellum." Another one or
this Iadys. books was called "A VICES
Perns." and had quite a run. Mrs. COOK
did much anonymous work, and did not
IN her lifetime seek the notice, or permit
il. which far inferior work nowadays
gets. Miss Mary Cook is here with ner
rather James G. Cook, and is one of the
many who have long been partial 10 the
White sulphur as a summer resort.
I'VE notice tonight that Senator Caifery,
Of Louisiana, has arrived. Senator CAN
cry's daughters have been here for some
time. .....-
