NEWPORT. August Z.

has been bad weather. The rec
ords show that during July there was
not n single day that was wholly
pleasant. II did not rain every day,
for, in fact. there was little raia.
but there was plenty OF fog. and
some portion of every day or night
Il was cloudy.
August thus far has been holding up
10 the July record. only more so. Since
this month has started 1t has rained
almost every day. and the northeast

The rain prevented the starting OF
the tennis tournaments at the Casino
until late In the week. and all other
out OF door vents were also naturally
postponed. Included among these was.
OF course. the Aston cup race. and II
would seem as though the weather
man saved Up some kind of a storm
each year until the arrival OF the New
York Yacht Club cruise. This fleet
has run into bad weather here for the
last several years. and especially this
week. Thus much Of the entertaining
that would have been done in honor
OF the yachtsmen and BY them vas
abandoned. There were. however.
quite a number OF Informal affairs
given, l%uncheons n dinners. and
some Of the yacht and their
guests were present at the more for
NAL affairs.
II seems as though as fast as one
charity affair has passed there is an
other one arranged, and there is no
question that by the time the present
summer end the members of the So
clal colony here will have contrib
uted very literally to about all of the
relief causes in Europe. There was
something like $4,000 raised at the
dansant last Saturday at Marble
House, half OF which money will he
given to children made destitute by
the war. This week there has been a
sale OF souvenirs of the war and use
ful articles at the Casino Theatre
building for the benefit of wounded
French soldiers, and this too will
raise quite a sum OF money. for Mrs.
