At Bar Harbor.
Bar Harbor has been literally under
the weather because, Of the cold rains.
The sun is always reliably present dur
ing August. however, and at least six
large entertainments are In prospect
for the Washingtonians wt.o are making
that resort their summer home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Letter. who leased Nose
ley Hall. one of the largest cottages at
the harbor, have Invitations out for a
ball. Their daughter. Lady Curzon. will
net visit them this season, as was re-
ported. and her friends, who knew any
| thing about her plane were sure of
from the first India along way off,
and her ladyship is tov sensible to make
the trip twice within three years.
Miss Letter will be with her parents,
however, and her much discussed t0oth-
er. Mr.. Joe.
Mr.. William C. Whitney has opened
his Bar Harbor villa and will give an
entertainment for young people shortly
in honor of his daughter Dorothy. The
Washington cottagers will doubtless be
among those present" as Mr.. Whitney
has always been partial to the friends
he made here when Secretary of the
Navy during Cleveland's first adminis-
tration.
Apropos of Bar Harbor, there is to be
a horse show at its leading park in
September and bench show of so
ciptys fayOrite kennels
In the Adirondacks.
These are wonderful days for the
Washingtonians who were wise enough
to include the Adirondacks In their sum-
mer plans. Dozens of our men, women,
and maids are scattered among the
camps in that big and picturesque
chain Of only half discovered mountains,
and climbing. boating. and golf are only
them every hour in the day.
The delightful extremes to which one
may carry life In the Adirondacks was
suggested by letter written by a
Washington woman at Paul Smiths,
who stated that at the time OF her
writing one son was tracking bears In
their mountain lar and another was
playing ping-pong.
The Catskills and the White Noun
tains are enjoying more than their
usual Washington patronage this year
and II statistics could be gathered on
the subject it would probably develop
that the mountains are more popular
than the sea.
Life at Long Branch.
Horse shows and dances have, so far,
formed the summer delights OF Long
Branch. though a dozen or more young
people from Washington who are with
their families at the Branch are having
no end of good time boating and bath
ing. Saratoga and Lone Branch are no
longer names to conjure with, as In the
old days, when resorts were few and far
between. but both places are dear to
old Washingtonians who make it q point
to go to one or the other OF the re-
to both-eyery year.
Washingtonians also have a loyal and
never decreasing fondness for Cape Nav
and the Greenbriar White" and hun
dreds Of our resident families are at
those resorts for the entire season.
Atlantic City also retains its hold on |
the hearts Of Washingtonians, many OF |
whom are spending their vacations at
that gayest city by the sea.
Washington, indeed. is represented a, |
almost every place of note in the noun
tains or along the coast line, and for
hose who were not able to achieve
visits to the pretentious resorts where
'ashionables most do congregate. they
have found for themselves throughout
Maryland and Virginia sylvan retreats
that vary in style and price from the
orand-new hotel with electric lights 10
he farm house where life begins at
iaybreak and ends an hour or SO after
lark.
