THE SUMMER MAN
OF GIDDY NEWPORT
BY May Robson.

At what other watering place than
Newport could one seriously attempt in
July to discover the summer man, even
much less to discuss him. In this as in
so many other respects Newport is SUI
preme, unrivaled. Fancy coming here in
June and finding the summer man al
ready installed, already adding his in
dispensable touch of human interest to
the lawns II boulevards, making golf
and sea bathing genuinely endurable
and the dullest prospect picturesque.
Yet that is the gratifying surprise that
eWpOrt has in store for every woman.
Man, many as are his charms, is chiefly
pleasing p~ictorially, because he dresses
frreproachably. At no hou of the day
is he ever otherwise than Immediately
correct. Whether in his white duck suit,
or his pink golf coat, or his smart
English riding clothes, he is invariably
as well adjusted as a fashion plate. as
conventionally interesting as the hero
of summer fiction.
But of all the agreeable types of men
which divert the attention here the most
popular are the young lieutenants. They
are really adorable, with their rigid lit
tie shoulders and cherubic faces, and I
notice a Newport girl is radiant if she
is with one of them, and quite beside
herself with excitement if she secures
two. They haven't much to say, I sup
pose, but they are leagues ahead Of the
ordinary youth in the matter of appear
ance, and in Newport that counts for
everything. We do not pretend here to
be superior to the small vanities.
But the summer men in Newport are
not all cherub-faced boys. A good man
of them are g~ray-haired and not a few
have govt. But they all lave the one
supreme advantage of uninterrupted
leisure. and are, therefore, at n age.
valuable for the only end that justifies
a summer mans eXistence-that of
dancing unlimited attendance on the
women of his acquaintance and making
himself cheerful and agreeable at any
one of the "a hours when he may be
called upon.
Such facility as the Newport men have
In this respect, SO uniform is their affa-
bihty, so perfect their courtesy. that T
is quite plain they are in training all
the year through. The summer mans
manner as we are privileged to observe
it here, is not one that can be acquired
on a two weeks vacation.

the acrobat will fall twice in a thrilling
feat, only to excite applause for the third
and triumphant attempt at last.
With the novice. who faces a 'gal-
lery' for the first time, or with nervous
players who are not quite sure of their
game, the situation is different. Their
the presence of a crowd is a cause Of
much trepidation. The "waggle,' per-
formed calmly enough in private, and
necessary to weigh the swing for the
drive, is made with shaking knees, and
the hands feel clumsy, in the effort to
grip the club as though they were muf-
fled in boxing gloves. In this plight an
utter miss or a topped ball is inevitable.
The latter mishap is usually the most
welcome, for the novice may hide his
confusion by striding from the tee after
the ball, but on a complete miss, after
fruitleses tanning the air, he must try
until successful, which is not cheerful
in sight of the gallery" After a tour
nament or two the young players pay
no more heed to the onlookers; in fact,
many amateurs and most professionals
play their best game unde the stimulus
of applause.
