THE COAL STRIKE AND ITS

Palm Beach and the quaint old towns
Of Florida will profit by the present

When it arrives and we are all thor

roof will be tiled, not slated. and the
windows will reach from top to bottom

The walls ought to be made of a cemsnt

DIDES EVERY DAY
IN ON HER THOROUGHBRED

Miss Paulding will not come to Wash
ington just yet, as October is the most
beautiful time of the year at Dobbs
Ferry, where, with her mother, she
spent the entire summer.
She is an enthusiastic horse woman
and her daily program at the Ferry In
cludes a cross country gallop. While
here she rarely misses ride with the
hounds. Her mount is Canadian
thoroughbred, and nearly every fine day
finds her in her trig black habit can

brown mare.
There is nothing finer to be found
along the highways and byways Of
fashionable Washington than Miss
Paulding's house. 1t is colonial
throughout. Outside there are small
windows, oval and square. set about in
surprising places, and inside there are
unexpected hooks and inches that ap-
peal to the artist and housekeeper alike.
The fashioned stair winds up to
large and airy landing that opens in
turn to rooms furnished in the pretti-
est old-time way.
Miss Paulding collected her furniture
wherever she found that which suited
her, a good bit OF 1t coming from the
South. that treasure-troye for relics Of
way-back days when Uncle Sam wore
knee breeches and Miss Columbia danced
her minuets in brocade and powdered
wig.
Over one mantel is a round mirror
whose frame is formed Of two goldleaf
goddesses swaying toward each other,
and which, with the ancient prism
crystal lamps at each end Of the mantel,
has been in Miss Paulding's family for
over 200 years..
The house was gift from her uncle.

last week, and was largely attended by
the members. In the absence of Presi-

Dyer. jr., presided.
The Clambake Club is ole OF the most
exclusive clubs in Newport, and Is
composed of number of those members
of the cottage colony who are fond OF
Rhode Island clans. The clubhouse Is
situated about three miles from town,
on the very edge of the rocky cliffs. and
the view of the ocean is unsurpassed
anywhere in Newport.
The largest part OF the club Is the
dining groom. which is inclosed on every
side by long glass windows. II the
weather is fine the windows are re-
moved, thereby making the dining room

weather is bad. the glass windows are

rades find out that Mary Blount was a
| rich girl, used to all the luxuries of life.
She was very indignant at being found
out, and had she not been such pop
ular member of the little group, would
have found it hard to regain her old
place among them, for no one is so
proud as the poor students of the Latin
quarter. AS 1t was, the incident was
forgotten in their hard work, and when
Miss Blount came home she not only
knew all that Delsarte's daughter could
teach her, but she could also make
fire-that world burn.

perfectly constructed theater built at
