Society.
THE PEMBROKE JoNEsEs.

Southern society is always interested In
the gossip of the southerners who are in
the Newport set and the following in
the New York World of the Pembroke
Joneses will be read with interest.
1T will be another Pembroke Jones sea-
son at Newport. They are rapidly forg-
ing to the front rank in society, and they
dispense hospitality at the summer capt.
tai just as eheerfuly as at their socalled
plantation in North Carolina. Those New
Workers who were last winter fortunate
enough to be guests at the large house
parties at Airlie, near Wilmington, never
tire telling of the wonderful democracy
OF II all. 1t seems the Joneses give an
entertainment once a year for EVERYDAY
IN the country and as can be imagined
when cracker and swell meet on an
equal social footing gayety is rampant.
II was question whether the Carroll
man natives or the New York guests en-
Joyed the thing the most Harry Lehr
and Mr.. Norman Whitehouse declare a
coon hunt beats anything at Newport.
ana all Wilmington echoes the praises of
the Pembroke Joneses. Well they might.
Tor the privilege of studying at close
range Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish or the ia
nous cotillon leader, Elisha DYER. is not
OFTEN enjoyed by those so far without the
pale. The Pembroke Joueses really
reached their high pedestal by the way of
Narragansett Pier. Time and again has
it been stated that they made their first
appearance at Newport. OF course 1t was
at Newport where they drove the sue
cessful wedge. and they made their debut
there during the same summer that gave
the local smart set the Philadelphia Car
tiers and Wideners But summer residents
of Narragansett Pier will recall that Mr..
and Mrs Pembroke Jones descended upon
that resort IN the steam yacht Narada
two years before that time"
