BY DIEDRlcH KNlcKEReocKER.


 New York, July 9.-It is not fashion able in these days to stop too long at any resort. After month or six weeks at once place there is a flight to some other place, for society must needs take to itself different localities as well as modes of entertainment To be a suc- cess in society one must lead a simple country life at ones country place near town during the month of June; then the correct thing to do is to go for the month of July somewhere, anywhere else, yachting or travelling about; then it is necessary to appear at Newport for a month or six weeks, or even only three weeks attired in the most gorgeous of clothes and leading a thoroughly society existence, until one is so bored that a change to the informal life in the woods is absolutely requisite. This consti- tutes quite a busy existence, but, all the same, one that possesses an immense amount of satisfaction in having sdone the rounds" even if there was more bother than amusement in the operation.

Mrs. Astor Arrives.

Mrs. Astor arrived from the other side on Thursday, and after brief rest at her Fifth avenue house came on to Newport. She arranged by cable for certain details in regard to Beechwood and will resume her ultra-smart Thursday dinners. at which the famous gold service is used. Whether or not Mrs Astor must continue to be hailed as the leader of society the fact remains that she weilds a powerful influence at Newport. She is ever in close touch with affairs at the summer capital. Mrs Astor may do some enter taining for Miss May Van Alen, but much more attention will be given to another granddaughter, Miss Caroline Coleman Drayton, the tall daughter of Mrs. George Oglivy Haig of London.
