believers in 1t now as a result OF the
deluge from which Newport suffered.
Such a bad spell of weather the city
has not experienced in a long while,
but the sun finally found himself late
in the week, causing a reawakening
Of social gayety.
Notwithstanding the weather. there
were some social affairs. One thing
became quite evident, and that was
that the Clambake Club is coming
back to its own as place for the
holding Of entertainments. 1t has been
used for social parties several times
this season and during the last week
Mrs. Edward M. Padelford. Mrs. Her
bert NJ. Hartman and Mrs. James A
Stillman have given affairs there. The
club on Easton's Point, is an ideal
spot for holding dinners and dances.
Another place may be opened for
the holding of entertainments before
next summer, according to report
in the summer colony this week. 1t
was said that the Ritz company was
in negotiation with Mr.. and Mrs. Jor-
dan L. Mott for their estate In Middle
town, Paradise Rocks, where their
home was destroyed by fire recently.
Erection of a restaurant and dancing
pavilion on the big estate for public
use was said to be planned, besides
a number of cottages to be leased,
thus forming the nucleus of a new
colony.
Children's parties continue to be
popular. Two such affairs were given
this week, the larger being that which
James J. Van Allen gave for two OF
his young grandchildren at Wake
hurst. Mrs. Eugene s. Reynal also
gave a children's party at her summer
home.
Mr.. Van Allen was also a dinner host

dinners have been arranged for the
same evening, the guests to 60 to the

1t was reported that Miss Fiji

last summer by Mrs. Barbara Norman
Jones' 1t appears that If the neces-
sary funds can be obtained from year
to year 1t will become a permanent
part of the hospital work. Gov. r.
Livingston Beeckman was one OF the
many who visited the camp during the
reception, Mrs. Beeckman being a
member of the committee. He was so
favorably impressed by the work being
done for the little unfortunates that
