Word comes from jamestown OF the
elaborate arrangements that are being
made for entertainments to be given dur
ing Swedish week" the time during
which Prince William OF Sweden VIII !
be a guest at the exposition A num-
Der of house parties have been planned |
for that time. this having been one |
OF the most delightful features Of the
seasons entertaining The Brazilian Off |
GERS added greatly to the enjoyment of /
the season and were indefatigabIe in their /
efforts to return the hospitalities ex-
tended TO them during their stay az 1
jamestown. A large dinner and reception |
was given by them at one OF the fash
lonable hotels
The flagship Riachuelo was. however,
the scene Of the greater part of the en-
tertaining done by them. The first dinner 1
included a dance, given in compliment to /
the young ladies whose hospitality had |
been accepted by the junior officers
Masses Of pink roses and blue hydrangeas |
decorated the table, and attractive little |
souvenirs were given TO each girl. During
the summer a number OF most ENJOYABLE /
dinners have taken place, one Of the most
delightful being the dinner dance given
by Capt. and Mrs. Cowles on board the
L. S. r. S. Franklin.

The August guest book is rapidly filing
up at Newport. and each day sees new
names on the Casino register and new
faces on the beach and along the drive
ways. Newport stlH retaius the pleasant
custom known as progressive visiting"
OF passing popular guest along from one
house 10 another It is no unusual thing
for hostess TO ask an intimate friend
TO take over for her a charming girl who
has made a good Impression on her
hostess, so that many a debutante and
young matron who is invited to the city
by the sea 10 pass a week frequently
finds that the one week extends to four
or five, each spent under a different roof.
Weekend entertaining has in no wise
abated in popularity and a great many
OF the large dinners are given on Saturday ]
night, because it IS so much easier TO get
men enough to go around. for though il
should not be said aloud, Newport has
been an Adamless Eden during July. ex-
cept over Saturday and Sunday. On
those days, however. wide porcbes
present attractive pictures as the last of
the suns rays beam on groups of pretty
and vivacious women surrounded IN fun
complement by affable men. who gladly Z
exchange all worry and care OF sumner ]
discomfort in town for a share in the
light air and frou-frOus which are
found IN the country at this season Of the 1
year,
Many straws show that music will have !
a large part in the entertaining at New
port during August The Casino
orchestra, selected from the members of
the Boston Symphony, has been engaged
TO play each Sunday afternoon at Mrs. ]
Flsh's weekly reception. Mrs Fish. who
Is always very frank. has announced that
only classical and sacred selections will be I
played, and that those who expect 10 7
hear comic opera and rag-time pieces will I
be disappointed. Mrs. Fish inaugurated {
her Sunday afternoons last week. Since J
sirs William T. Bulls continued absence
last year and this. there has been moth
Ing 10 take the place OF her Informal :
Sundays with music. Now, however. Mrs
FISH is filling a long-felt want Sunday
s rather quiet day, and Newport women .
as rule go 10 church, after which anv
diversion is welcomed.
Social life has quieted a bit at Ie,ox I
during the fortnight, many of the cot s
-agers and their guests having gone 10 q
the seashore resorts to remain until the 4
Inauguration of the autumn festivities. q
Matters promise 10 liven up, however. a
with the big golf event, which viii start O
Friday next and from that time gayetv \
will prevail
The golf event referred to is the play Y
off for the $500 Lenox Cup. which has h
been contested for at the annual tourna- y
