OLD SWEET SPRINGS. w. VA, July
2l-The jingle of the triangle, the signal
of new arrivals, has sounded upon the
air so often this past week that it has
ceased TO cause the commotton it did at
the opening of the season. for guests
are pouring in from the four corners of
the earth, and the cry is-"Still they
comet

frequent these springs is that they are
folk of culture and refinement, whom it
is a pleasure to know and to 1ningle with.
Among this weeks arrivals are the fam
lilies OF DR.. Christopher Tomplins and Mr..
Charles Davenport, of Richmond Both
are comfortably located in cottages in
Richmond Row.
For those who are musically inclined. the
Y. M 1 Band furnishes morning and af-
ternoon concerts and even if one is not
SO muSically inclined, the strains of music,
floating to one while he is some hillside
with the latest novel of an interesting
somebody. or in the afternoons just as he
is arousing from an after-dinner nap,
aren't half BAD
On alternate evenings there are always
dances. often largely attended by guests
from the surrounding resorts. And even
those who do not dance find no little pleas
ure in the refreshing beauty of the even

in the South with its polished floor its
quaint sofas, its frescoed walls, and its
generous pier-glasses.

fearless about diving as-ment9. The

and enjoy nothing so much as the daily
swim.
