LOCAL AFFAIRS.
A DELIGHTFUL HOUSE PARTY.
MRS W. T. COLE ENTERTAINs.

M KS W. T. COLE kGNVGhIA1NSs
 A score of young ladies and men, comprising the charming house party which Mrs w. T. Cole, of the Glen, has been entertaining the past week, dined at the Inn the evening of the Fourth, previous to the hop. Among those making up this delightful coterie of the young were: Mrs Salisbury, Brook ]yn; Miss Schneider, Miss Salmon, Miss Moore, Philadelphia; Miss Winters, Colorado; Miss Reston, Baltimore: Miss Buyers, Virginia; Miss Davis, Boston; Miss Deppeler, New York; Miss Paul, New Jersey; MT Hausman, MT Deppeler, New York; MT Lexow, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Messrs Keefer, Paul, Caffrey, Wainwright, Davis, Koltwasser, New Jersey. The "A hours of the day and night were hardly long enough for MT Cole to crowd in the various pleasures which he had in store for his guests, 1.-the propitious weather even doing its share in carry ing out a perfect program. Tennis, boating, swimming, walking and hours for the followers of Isaac Walton filled in that time devoted to being outdoors, one particularly pleasant feature being long drive along the Housatonic river and to Taunton Lake in which all 20 of the fair sex and their escorts par ticipated. The shades of night had no dampening effect on the festivities for the unusual talent of the various guests, especially the Stevens Glee Club members, made attractive musi- cales possible, and devotees of the cue engaged in fascinating and exciting games of billiards. Mrs Cole, herself a gracious hostess, was assisted in her matronizing of the the many you ng folks, by Mrs Salisbury, the entertain ing wife of Lieut. G. R. Salisbury, of the U. s. Navy. The end of the week will see the breaking up of the house party the various members departing in as many ways to keep the ippumeF= able engagements which the young never weary of making in the summer months.
