ABOUTPEOPLE ANDTHINGS

To hear the Newport set described in
Scathing terms one has only to dis,
cuss the summer colony with any of
the Pumpellys. That family has been
In Rhode Island since the days of Rog-
er williams. Raphael Pumpelly is a
learned professor and believes in the
rule of intellect-not that of wealth.,
As soon as the gay New Workers be-,
gin brushing the dust from their villas
on the cliffs the PumpellyS pack up
and HE to the democratic White noun
tains. They will have none of the
Newport glamour. They are connected
with the Shepard and Storrs Welles
families, and would have access to all
the entertainment of the New Workers.,
but they have proclaimed their hostility
toward the money set since Mrs. Paran
Stevens doomed" Newpest. OF course,
the professors family must stick to the
stand taken then. Tie comfortable
Pumpelly house Is always let to one Of
these despised plutocrats,
Believing there would be an early
closing Of the sumrper1 season, the
Pumpellys-goIf clubs fishing poles
and all-returned from 1.-The mountains
when the gayeties were in full swing
and when Bellevue avenue fairly was
choked with the carriages and autos
of the rich. Most of the fashionable
folk have heard of the disdain of the
Pumpellys, and when the members of
that family appeared It was a signal
for all the New Workers. to, add an adj
ditional touch of frivolity to shock the
professor. One Of the NATIONS uttered
an Indian war cry from her runabout
and another young woman Rugged her
brother in the view of the returning
Pumpellys-all in a gleeful endeavor
to confirm the Pumpellys in the belief
the fashionable set is an abandoned
crowd.
There she comesl" murmured the
onlookers in the 50-cent seats at the
Newport horse show when the two
white-haired women, gowned simply
walked in with a white haired man for
an escort. One of these unimpressive
women was Mrs. Astor and the other
Mrs. Richard T.. Wilson. Mrs. Astor
has gone about only a little this sum-
mer, and no sooner did she and Mrs.
Wilson take seats than men and wom-
en-, young and old, came to pay their
respects. Even Mrs. Moore Robinson.
the Philadelphian, suffered a depletion
In the ranks of her attendants when
the white-haired leader Of fashion came
In. Many thought Mrs. Astor looked
tired. She is beginning to show her
age. Her son, John Jacob stood in
the rear of the box. Young Mrs. Astor
Is not In Newport.
On the one sunny day of the New
port show Mrs. Stuyyesant Fish wore
a remarkable gown. She never has
had so many stirring gowns as this
season, and her devotion to yellow has
caused comment. Her horse show gown
was of me-colored chiffon over white
taffeta. The skirt was ornate with a
deep fiounce edged with white lace.
The fiounce also had insertions of lace
and the bodice was trimmed generously
with these .filmy Insertions Mrs.
Ffshs waist was girdled with a white
satin sash, held in place with dia-
mond buckle. Over herNsfieulders was
a stole of white ostricfsltips and her
white chip hat was decked with three
huge plumes of the brilliantfhame color
A more striking color scheme could not
well be imagined. When she stood with
Mrs. Hermann Oelriehss who wore an
equally remarkable gown of pale blue
taffeta, the contrast almost hurt the
eye. Ut ssss
