when the season at Newport is at us
height; since Immediately after tho morse
show, at the beginning OF September
there is a scattering Of the clans 70 SUD-
urban country houses, to Virginia Ho'
Springs and TO the mountains, every day
beirg crowded with entertainments In
fact, one Is sometimes tempted 10 ask
why the gayeties Of this smartest or
American seaside resorts, with all It's
costly villas, should be restricted practi-
cally to four or 1--WE weeks OF the year.
At Bar Harbor the season Is likewise
In full swing, and, thanks to the very
large contingent Of foreign diplomats from
Washington, who attract their visiting
countrymen there, q cosmopolitan mayor
is added TO the festivities. But OF all the
seaside places, the one where there are
undoubtedly most life and animation Is
Southampton, where young people are
more in evidence, and where there Is per-
haps little less formalty.
Its comparative proximity to New York
is one of It's principal attractions, since
men find but little difficulty in running
down from tho city, both on weekdays
and from Friday 20 Monday. Therefore
that Long Island resort never suffers
from that dearth of the masculine eie-
ment which hampers the Inequalities at
more distant hot weather refugees.
The Meadow Club, as usual, Is the
scene Of particularly successful weekly
dances, and Is daily crowded with guests
while the Suffolk Hunt Club, at Hay
ground, near by, constitutes notable
addition to the attractions Of the south
shore. 1t is on the grounds OF the CLUB
that the annual Southampton horse show
will take place on Saturday next.
The yearly fancy dress ball for the
benefit OF tho Southampton Hospital Is
set for Friday week at The Orchard, the
country place OF Mr.. and Mrs. James l..
Breese. Those in charge OF the affair IN
