n 1EWPORTS summer colony Is
back on a pre-war basis this
season.
The gardens of the summer estates
never have looked better than they do
this spring and for the last month
and half 1t has been hustle and
hustle for the caretakers and garden
ers. There has been much renova-
ton Of houses and grounds, while the
old Casino on Bellevue avenue has
been brushed up for the rush; Bailey's
beach has been renovated and there
has been greater call for lighthouses
than ever before; Hazards beach is
now under the management of Walter
$. Andrews, and this, too, has been
flooded with applications for houses
from the colonists. The country club
has been renovated, both at the club
house and on the links, and 1t Is in
readiness for a busy season.
AS far back as the early winter
announcements began to be made by
the real estate agents, and by now
there are very few available villas and
cottages to rent within the confines
of Newport. Some houses that have
never been rented before. and which
are not to be used by their owners
have been rented, and so great has
been the demand for houses that some
fabulous prices have been paid, 1t is
said. Report had 1t this last week
that Mr.. and Mrs. James Laurens Van
Allen, who are to occupy Wakehurst,
James j. Van Aliens estate, are to re-
ceive $500 as rental for their own
Bellevue avenue home, Rosetta Cot
tage.
There are to be very few absentees
from among the regular list of sum-
mer colonists. Besides there are to
be some newcomers in the colony this
year, and no%a few who have been
absentees for one or more years are
TO return this year and occupy their
own houses or have rented estates.
Social activities among the naval
social colony also promise to play no
small part in the life at Newport this
summer, due to the fact that the
Naval War College has been reopened
and many high ranking officers have
leen sent here for the years course at
the college. They have come to New
port with their families, and their
coming is one Of the causes of a big
rental list for they have taken up
many Of the smaller cottages not only
in the fashionable sections of the city
but in other sections as well.
