| The way to win woman is the sub

Hart in recent number of the Cos
mopolitan.
The following paragraph contains
good suggestions, which are quite as
| pertinent to women as men.
THE man." says Miss Hart, has in
| deed perverted sense of honor who
plays with the love of the woman he
would win. To the man of character
| steadfastness implies avoiding of the
| appearance of evil, as well as evil.
| There are better means for testing
woman's love than pricking it with
| jealousy, even though that which ex-
/ cites it is obviously unreal. A mans
attentions to women other than the
one he loves are aften unconsciously
g1ven-at least, men say SO-but sure
| ly the man who is at such great pains
| to win what he does not want, thereby
| losing what he does want, lacks several
of the requisites of the winning Of
woman.
And the man who consciously car
ries on Irritation as a means for
quickening the love of the woman he
wants, puts from him every chance of
really winning what is noble in her.
For the true woman sees only weak
ness in these maneuvers, and she is not
to be won by strategy or cheap meth

everlasting loye-muSt rest upon faith
that is absolute and honor that is I'M

The ball given Monday night at her
villa, Beechwood, by Mrs. Aston was
not only the largest but probably will
prove to have been the most notable
event of the present season in New
port. 1t may be Mrs. Astor's one dis
tinctive entertainment of the season.
as she has given no indication as yet
that she will resume the series of
weekly dinners at her villa which for
so many years have been features of
the season.
Older Newporters are recalling that
it is nearly thirty-five years since Mrs.
Astor first came as a summer resident
to Newport and began the entertain
ments at Beeehwood which have made
that Villas hospitality famous. During
the first decade of her summer life here
Mrs Astor's sister lin law, the late Mrs.
John Jacob Astor, was more prominent
in social life, but for some years pre-
vious to and after the older Mrs. As
tors death the present Mrs. Astor came
to the front as Viewpoints as well as
New Yorks social leader.
Boston's loveliest belle is one of the
conspicuous young women in Newport.
Miss Eleanora Sears, daughter of
Philip Sears, eventually may live in
New York, if the Manhattan men con-
tinue to show such devoted attention.
Miss Sears is described by a Calumet
club man as "un-Boston," and certain
ly her appearance does not suggest the
blue-stocking. She is tall, majestic and
a fine athlete. She has neutral color
ing, and this summer her coat of sun
burn is fine. Her arms to her elbow
are copper-colored, and she glories in
her tan. To the Thames street shop
keepers she is known as "the unveiled
Miss Sears" because she is extremely
careless of her complexion. She will
sit for hours at Bailey's Beach with
out the protecting shade of an UNI
brella. Most Newport girls are careful
Of their compilations. Miss Anna Sands
goes to the extreme of wearing white
silk gloves at tennis. Even the most
happy go-lucky ones use wells and par
aSols.
At Cinderella party table of slip
pers is provided, says The Housekeeper,
and each man is asked to choose one Of
these articles and find his partner by
the help of the transposed name at
tached to the footgear. The men are
then required to write the story of
Cinderella in ten minutes, their YER
sions of the tale being afterward read
by their partners. A glass slipper is
awarded for the best story. The party
closes with slipper hunt to find ones
fortune. The couple finding a dancing
| slipper will lead a gay and happy life;
| the leather one promises life of hard
work; the rice slipper Covered with
| glue and rolled in rice) indicates an
early marriage: the slipper decorated
with a horseshoe gives good luck; the
| gold or silver one, riches, and the old
| carpet slipper, poverty.
| One of the quetest of the Harrimans
| is Mrs. Joseph Hartman, who is stay
ing in Bellevue court, in Newport. She
] does not entertain lavishly and owns
no town house. She is wearing some
| remarkable gowns this summer. Espe-
/ c1ally interesting Is one for afternoons.
1t is a creamy lace affair, suited to a
| garden party. The frock proper is of
finest linen batiste, and half the skirt
is composed of antique lace. The bod
ice is. shrouded in generous cape of
lace, with long ends that reach the
| ground. Mrs. Hartman wears a white
| straw hat, with a creamy plume and
| the general effect is excellent She
| showed this gown at a croquet party
| at Harry Lehr's. When she sat on a
| rustic bench, she showed how admir-
| ably the lace motif was sustained. Her
| silk stockings had rich insertions of
| point lace, and even the dainty kid
| slippers had coverings of lace.
And SO the eventful cruise of the

let were seen in Paris. 1t was the most
