look as IL the Prince of Wales is not
to 60 there after all, which shows that
people did not GO to Newport gust to see
His Royal Highness. Philadelphians did
not, anyway, for there are no new ones
up there this summer. The Bob Cas-
salts always go and so do the Craig
Biddles and the Paul Mills and the Joe
Wideners and Miss Bcrwind and Mar
garet Dunlap and the rest of them.
The Cassatts gave n dinner at Fair
haven on Thursday night. They went
to Newport on the tenth of theNmonth. =.
but they have been going round good
deal since then. Mrs. Cassatt is so smart
looking. don't you think? 1t is not ex-
actly that she is pretty. but she certainly
is piquant and dainty; and her bur-
nishcd gold brown curly hair is always
so prettily arranged.
Mrs. John Drcxel also entertained
on Thursday night at Fairhaven. Mrs.
Drexel, you know. is an aunt OF MIS-
Cassatt, who was Minnie Fell and the
daughter of Mrs. Alexander Van Kens :
seaer, who was Miss Sarah Drexcl'
a sister of Mr.. John Drexel.
A Nd speaking of the Drexels makes
n me think of another member OF
<hat family, young Anthony Drexel bld :

have bought n large place there between
RYE and White Plains. They have spent
their summers in Long lslano Siu.'
their marriage, but will hencetortn pe
westchesterites. as they say IN Ne"
York The place they have bought Is
beautifully situated, and there Is nc
doubt there will be some dandy parties
given there.
