ALLEGHENY INN, GOSHEN.

Goshen, Va, July 29.-The most sue
cessful season in recent years Is now on
in full swing at the Allegheny Inn.
AS a rule, July is not so gay at the
mountain resorts, since many people pre-
fer the seashore until August. But the
reports from Atlantic City and other
beaches of insufferable heat, while guests
at Goshen are sleeping under blankets
and enjoying cool days that are more

changes of plans, and hence the large
hotel is nearly filled. The company gath

The MANAGEMENT has left nothing un-
done to make life here a comfort and a

playmates, but the grown people as we'll

matches are over, the guests enjoy the
baths, fresh water being run in regular

for the many children, who have numer-
Gus entertainments provided for them,
and a feature liked by the mothers is
the nature study class, conducted by Miss
Bessie Brown. Of Norfolk, during the
morning.
The IittleA folks have had several af-
fairs this week. a lawn party to cele-
brate the seventh birthday Of little
Miss Frances Jones. the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Noble Jones, Of Savannah,
and two hay rides, when little Miss

Alta Kimmel, of Washington, were the
young hostesses.

young men and women, on Monday

Tazewell Buchanan, of Richmond. were
the hosts. with Mrs. A. @. Clapham. Of
