Day, following the custom Of years.
With good weather tennis week
should be gay one. For some days
past the weather has been cool and
damp. with three or four genuine
transforms thrown in for good meas
ure. As far as the national tennis
tournament is concerned the governors
Of the Casino have made extra prepare
ton for the event this year by the
erection Of extra grandstands and
making other changes about the Casino
grounds for the benefit of the players
and crowds that attend this annual
event.
The horse show, too, also promises
70 be q largely attended event, for, like
the tennis tournament, there has been
q big advance demand for tickets. All
% the boxes for the tennis tourney
have been taken. and many of the re-
serve seats have been spoken for, but
with the extra stands there will be
plenty Of available seating room for
all who wish TO attend. Il will be pos
sible this year TO seat practically 5000
people, almost double the amount Of
other years.
The midsummer flower show under
the auspices of the Newport Garden
Club and the Newport Horticultural
Society has been one of the features
OF the present week. Ii proved TO be
one of the best exhibits Of flowers and
vegetables ever held here. and besides
70 also proved to be quite a society
event, for Mrs. Belmont had loaned
the grounds Of Belcourt for the hold
ing Of the show. As an added feature
there were dances among the flower
beds by Miss lnga Sontum. and several
Of the young women of the social col
ony acted as flower girls, including
Miss Mildred Rives, Miss Dorothea
Kane, Miss Lois B. Cassatt, Miss Lesley
T. Pearson. Miss Josephine 5. Pearson,
Miss Eleanor 7. Darlington. Miss Janet
Fish and Miss Miriam Hartman.

Der 5. but heretofore il was not certain
shat the wedding would take place IN
