-, surely there has never been such an
gunrainly and ungraceful fad as the loose
and 6oppy carriage Of the past years.
y speaking ofNthe slouch, which has been

the last four years, l see that the pro-
sessors of the terpsichorean art are hold

The movie which Bob Goelet is con-
coctns at Newport is causing much Joy
and Measurable anticipation, in so far
as the plot Of the play has not been made
public at all and it is not even known
who is the heroine or who the villain.
One scene was taken on Wednesday on
the Vincent Astor place, and It's rumored
that Mrs, Astor is the heroine. I hear
Whispers, however, that Ethel Hartman
maid in the performance, and our
own Rose Dolan has a prominent part.
There was great excitement on Bailey's
Beach on Monday. when George Warren
had to rescue drowning couple in street
garments, who had been thrown into the
water from canoe. Much to the amuse-
ment Of the onlookers, the canoe was
tipped over in such shallow water that
the players had to duck to maintain the
proper effect, NANCY WfNNE.
