OLD NEWPORT.
Historic Houses and Families OF the
Modern Resort.

Old Newport is aastory of itself.
The Redwood Library IS historic. II
was established In 1747 and is a re-
pository of valuable manuscripts,
books and pictures, but how few OF
the Newport crowd who frivol during
the six weeks of its season know of
It's existence? II has been a watering
place since 1929, and for years was
the summer home of old South Caro-
lima and West. India families. There
are many remarkable old houses in
the town proper. and among these are
General Prescott's Headquarters, the
State House on the square, the Haz-
ard house. the Wanton house on
Broadway, the Bull residence and the
numerous beautiful Colonial places
on the Point, known as Washington
street and once the court end Of town.

is now nearly 200 years old; and the
mysterious mill, perhaps 500 or per-
haps 1000 years it's senior in age,
is always interesting to sightseers.
AS n rule, though, visitors clamor to
see only the houses of multi-million-
aires.
Perhaps among the younger peo-
pie at Newport there are few who
nave read Bret Harte's version of the
young woman in the days of the visit
of the gallant Rochambeau,s fleet
she who loved. and who was deserted
by the officer who sailed away and
never returned. She is said to haunt
an old mansion on the Point and her
ghost makes itself known by the faint
perfume of mignonette. There are
many romantic stories concerning the
visit of the French fleet and the
gayeties at Newport a century and
more ago. Every one has heard of
the three beautiful Misses Hunter.
two OF whom made brilliant foreign
matches The Hunter family still
resides at Newport, and during the
last week in May the venerable Mrs.
William Hunter celebrated her eigh-
ty~second birthday by a reception.
Her late husband was a nephew of
the famous beauties, one OF whom be-
came the Countess de Cardignan.
The Hunters are descended from the
famous DR.. William Hunter. The
Rev Mr.. Birckhead. the rector of st.
Georges in Stuyvesant square, New
York, is also a descendant. And then
IL was Newport which gave to this
country the immortal Perry, the
sreat-uncle of the present generation

The Oriain of Gloves

1t is not known when gloves were
first invented, but they are very anc-
lent. The first clear account of
them comes from Xenophon. where
the writer speaks of the Persians
wearing them to protect their hands
from cold Homer describes Laer-
ties working in his garden with gloves
to protect his hands from thorhs, and
Varro mentions the wearing of, gloves
by the Romans. Gloves have long
had a symbolic meaning. In the
eleventh century came the custom of
throwing down a glove as a chal-
lenge, and gloves were early used in
church rites. They were not worn
by women until after the Reforma-
ton. In preparing the leather for
gloves 1t had to be "fulled" with a
peculiar kind of clay to lend II soft.
