overestimated.

but in the sumner homes. ana in spite Of the
warm weather 1t has been necessary to light
fires to dry out the houses. 1t cannot be re-
membered when Newport has had such a con-
tinued spell Of wet and warm weather The
heat at times has been almost unbearable, one
day the Thermometer reaching as high as 80
in the shade. and the refreshing breezes for
which Newport is noted have been conspicuous
by their absence.
1t begins to look though there would not
be any large balls at Newport this summer
other than that announced to take place at
Marble House later in the season. and in
their stead the cottagers will give dinner dances
and cotlllons. In the past the cottagers have
spent much time in preparations for the most
elaborate balls. and there is row a feeling that
a much better time can be had by not going
so extensively INTO arrangements There is
also a fad this season of holding entertainments

devious for many Of these parties. Still. the big
Mathewson has it's bridge devotees by the score
and the sun parlor the Turkish room. with Its
rich Oriental effects. and even the corners OF
the great piazza. are utilized by little groups Of
women, who while away long afternoons at the
game and even play far into the nights.
Another diversion at Nsrragansett is automo-
billing. The country is as beautiful as the ocean.
with perfect roads, hills and valleys and blossom
ing wild flowers everywhere.
But. after all. it is the grand old ocean, with
its incompara BILE surf and bathing beach. that.
more than all things else, fascinates and at
tracts at Narragansett. In such an atmosphere
one does not marvel that tourists from every
part Of the land return to old Narrag gansett year
after year and that they spend long afternoons
