Though the season is practically end- ed at most of the fashionable resorts this week has been the very busiest of the summer at many of the most fash 1onable. Labor Day with its accompany ing Sunday holiday. gave occasion for the first week In September to be cele- brated elaborately and at most of the summer resorts there is an unusual num- Der of attractions scheduled.
 News from Newport tells of the horse show which opened Monday, and every day of the week has been made gay with the dinners and dances that are celebrating it. At Bar Harbor Greek pastoral was one of the prettiest sights of the season and was a fitting close to series of outdoor celebrations at the building of arts.
 Golf and polo are occupying the at tention of the summer colonists at Southampton. and at Narragansett, where there is little indication of the end of the season.
 In the Berkshire hills the autumn weather is fit setting for the seasons gayeties and the outdoor sports of golf ing, tennis and hunting will, now that September is here. engage the attention of the autumn visitors
 Thus the gayety of the smart resorts continues even to the fag-end of the sea- son, but it is predicted that after this week there will be a distinct change and the mountains will claim their share of social life. Or, If the lure of the woods call not the fashionable idler, and the pleasures of the chase do not attract. there is the annual cure at Hot Springs of Virginia to take the place of Cars- bad and other foreign resorts. From now until November a round of picnics, luncheons, dinners and card parties will be the order of the day at the Virginia resort. So 1t may be seen that life may be all playtime for one who systemat- ically chooses his playground.
 Birmingham Nacationists. however, are returning home by the dozens, every fn- coming train bearing it's quota. Mem- bers of several parties have returned from Europe, several coming in yesterday, and the mountains, too, are losing their charm for the many who prefer Birming- ham in it's autumn dress and with its autumn smile Among those who have returned from abroad are Mrs. Alfred Eubank. Miss Sadie Gillespy. Miss Mary l Ware, Miss Willie May Bates, Mrs Marie Buck, Miss Mena Buck. MT. Newfield and ! Miss Pearl Williams. Mrs. MarkelPs party landed in New York Monday and most ot | its members are still in the metropolis | Mrs. Henry Gray and Mrs. Viola Roden- Redin are in Paris on their way home. A number have returned from Canada and the eastern resorts. The lake re- zion and the west have been phenomenal ly popular this season with Birmingham folk, and there is the usual number to whom a summer without Atlantic City would seem a summer lost. A number went to Atlantic City quite late and there are still others lingering in Canada until sure that the very last day of hot weather is over at home before returning. So, while many prominent people have re- turned home and are preparing for the exigencies of winter quite a number are out of town until the first week of Oc- tOber.
