Things That Will Be Talked About
Next Fall.
NEWPORT SEASON DULL JUST YET
Some of the Pleasures of Home
Staying.

compelled to stay in town are taking all
the comfort possible out of the situation
and are managing to pass their days and
nights in fairly satisfactory way. Serious
illness in various households has changed
many long-arranged plans. and made home
a certainty for the most of the summer
Those who are blessed with health and
strength, even in face of the discomforts
caused by the terrible heat feel more than
contented with their lot, as compared with
their friends, whose anxiety for and de-
votd care of loved ones make them al
most as much the subject of concern as
the invalids themselves.
A clever woman and a noted hostess who
SO enjoys the companionship of her hus-
band that she will never leave for a sum-
mer vacation until he is able to accom-
pany her, says that she never wants for
company in summer. After long car ride
one evening last week the couple found
just seven ieft-in-town husbands and
fathers waiting to enjoy the charm of
their society for an hour or two. This is
repeated night after night, so that what
ever else enjoyment they may have missed
chances of Frightening up their friends
with bit of home cheer have not been de-
MED them. The waiting interval for the
day to leave town has not been bore by
any means, but just the contrary.
The element of surprise or whatever other
sensation the Corbin-Patten engagement
may have caused will have been completely
exhausted by the autumn, when the un-
deniably happy principals will be back from
widely separated points and ready for the
wedding ceremony. Therefore the details of
another wedding which will not occur in
Washington, but which will create a tre-
mendous whirl Of excitement, will fill the
public eye, so far as the newspaper world is
concerned, just at the proper moment when
it needs new matter and new comment.

a high official, and the latter will be the
groom, say the gossips who usually know
what they are talking about; and 1t sounds
cold.blooded enough to make seasonable
reading just now that in naming over the
eligibleS it is not necessary to mention any
of the lately bereaved.
They may go off in the meantime but are
not considered in the present case. The lady
in question has every charm which
tive wit and a thorough training can add
to youth and beauty. And the gossips say
the wedding day is likely to be fixed for
the busy days of the opening of Congress
anG the debutante tea.
The Newport early season wilted under
the heat, but from the scores of invitations
abroad great things are promised. There
are probably other people doing some en-
tertaining. but the Stuyvesant Fishes are
reaping their usual glory both in what they
have done and what they contemplate do
ing. Nearly all the cottagers whose hos
pitalities are large scale are on hand.
