long as the Presidents condition remains
dangerous. At Newport there is nothing
more important in the coming weeks pro-
gramme than the usual number of din
ners and luncheons. The Bar Harbor sea-
son is practically ended, and the Lenox
gayeties have yet to begin. AS to Wash
ington the autumn weddings will, as u.s.
ual. absorb the interest of a good many
friends Of the interested couples and the
driveways will soon be filed with the
equipages of well known people who are
now beginning to return to town.

! tie difference to the summer colonists at
Manchester. Prides Crossing. Beverly

According to a cable despatch. Lady
Curzon will sail to India September q
| Her health has so improved during her
| visit TO England that it is declared she
| is looking as well and pretty when she
! first appeared at the English capital as
bride. Mrs. Letter has been with Lady
! Curzon ever since her arrival, the last
I month having been spent by them at
picturesque old castle in Scotland.
1t is said, though not authoritatively,
that the wedding of Miss Helen Morton,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Levi P Nor
ton, to Comte Bosom de Perigord, of Paris,
will be celebrated in the French capital
before the holidays. 1t is possible that
! this report may be true as nearly all the
| Morton family are at present in Europe.
| Ellerslie, the handsome country home of
Ex-Governor Morton, at Rhinebeck
on the Hudson. will probably remain
| closed for the present, although orders
| to prepare it for the family were received
from Europe several months ago.
Mrs Elkins, Miss Katharine Elkins. and
Mr.. Blaine EllSins. who have been at the
Shoreham since their return TO the city,
are now established at the family resi-

| at Newport until October.
Mr. William K Vanderbilt is very de-
ternined that everybody shall understand
! that he is not going to buy an estate in
| EnSland-another brilliant summer rumor
| gone wrongi
| Among the season-end rumors floating
around Newport is one to the effect that
! Miss May Van Allen has added another
| captive to her train, Capt. Richmond
!
himself during the Spanish war and who
has been making friends and admirers at
| Newport. where he has been feted for

Miss Sallie Hodge. of this city, was
among the dinner guests at the Point Ju-

| The rumor that the Martin Oelrichs
wedding will not take place is causing as
much social excitement in Newport as
did the announcing of the engagement of
| Miss Aldrich TO Mr. Rockefeller n little
while ago. Nobody seems TO know, for
sure, what has happened, but everybody
| is telling everybody else that the date
which was postponed until September IT,
and which was really settled upon for the
wedding day, is almost here, and that the
! invitations are not yet out. No formal
announcement that the engagement has
| been broken has, as yet, been given out,
but il is generally understood that there
will be no wedding either in Newport or
| as the gossips had it the other day at
! the brides home in New York. 1t is
known that the young lady's family have
never approved of the marriage. though
| Mr. Martin is both handsome and rich
Mr. Martin was at one time to have mar
| ried Miss isabel McKenna. who broke the
engagement just before her father came
| to Washington to accept & position in
| Mr. Mckinley's Cabinet.
