FAMOUS JEWELS
SEEN AT NEWPORT.

Z From sartoriaI standpoint, the
s5Newpcrt season has been a great sue
Scess thus far. During the past four
years the fashionable matrons Of the
slcolony eschewed elaborate toilettes
=and contCnted themselves with last
years models" owing to the war.
Now that peace reigns again on the
rearth they are splurging forth with
sSnew creations and their famous Jew
-sls, which were ''interned" in safety
deposit vaults for the duration of the
war. are now being brought out into
tthe hght-daylight and electric light.
: Tiaras. diamond dog collars, chains
OF diamonds, rubies. pearls and other
precious gems have been sent up from
New York and are making their ap-
pearanCe at not a few Of the more
Impressive dinner parties. I shudder
to think Of the total value OF all the
Jewels which are worn on gala oc-
casions at Newport.
Some years ago one Of those persons
who delves into figures arrived at the
point where he declared more than
s9O,OO0.OOO worth OF jewels were always
worn at a large important Newport
ball. Think of that. a fabulous for
tune clasped and pinned on the ma
irons who compose the 900 at the
popular watering place. Seems al

Lately Newport has not figured in
any sensational Jewel robberies, and
since the night when one of the fore
most matrOns in the colony had a
priceless rope Of pearls cut from her
throat the majority OF hoStesses have
employed a staff Of detectives to mix
among their guests and protect them
from 'dress-suit bandits" and sneak
thieves who at times gain entrance to

MARQUIS OF BLANFORD
REsEMBLEs yANDERBLTS,

Regarding the possible marriage
between the heir to the MarlbOr-
Ough family honOTs and Miss Grace
Vanderbilt, we are told that such a
marriage is. if not quite settled, at
least is very near to being settled.
The marquis who has always been
devoted to his mother. has, since his
earliest childhood, expressed him
self as proud of his American blood.
In looks he resembles closely the
Vanderbilts and he has their practi-
cal sense of life and business apti-
tudes. Though proud. like all the
Churchills. he is free from an exag-
gerated sense OF Importance ard
can be a thoroughly good fellow. He
has been carefully educated, but has
not inherited his family's love fer
politics. to which he is very indif-
ferent. Social questions interest him
far more, as they do his mother. and
he is said to have closely studied
agriculture with the intention of
being able to enter into the details of
the management Of his future lal ge
estates when he succeeds to them.
He is very popular among the ten
ants and farmers of the Blenheim
property, with whom he likes to chat
and exchange impressions. He is
quite an American. frank and open
in manners as well as in heart!
When the war broke out the Mar
quis. though still a mere boy of 1S, at
once enlisted and behaved extremely
well during all the time he spent at
the front. 1t was then that he be-

is rapidly becoming a serious rival
OF Newport.
Where are the old Southamp-
toner's" white-haired dowager
asked that question the other morn
ing. She had to use a slang phrase
given the members OF the South
ampton summer colony who had
assembled on the beaCE. the "o-cc-
over" and the dowager was stunned
to find so many of her old-time
friends among the missing.
Southampton was quite differ
ent in the days gone by" she eX-
planned. there were no wonder

and as for newcomers'-they did
not exist. The colony at Southamp-
ton thirty years ago was composed
of a small number of smart New
Workers and Washingtonians who
went to the resort at the far end
of Long Islands south shore be-
cause of the simple life they could
lead there"
Dinner dances were. of course
unknown at that time. and even
the railroad did not run direct 10
Southampton. Fishing. swimming G
and out-of- door sports were the
only amuscments. and Southampton
was anything but smart.
In loOAing back great change has
come over Southampton. From the
simple resort which the dowager dc
scribed it has developed into one OF
the most fashionable watering place;

but I. personally. do not agree with
them. Southampton Is not one whit
speedier than Newport, Narragansett
Pier. Bar Harbor, or the other Ia
nous resorts.
In the olden days, the Gees. the
Grtsweida. the Hoyts. the Lvingstons,
the Cuttings and a few more families
OF the social elect constituted the
summer colony at Southampton. Rep
resentatives of these families sttu
have summer homes there, but they
are far more imposing than the cot
tases Of three decades ago. At that
time there was no question az TO who
was the leader Of the colony. Society
never entered into Southampton q
scheme of life. Today. however. II is
what might be termed a fashionAble-'
resort. and to be a member OF the in
nermost circles of the Southampton
colony means a person has arrived
socially.
There is much talk at southsmp-
ton this summer as to who is the
leader Of the resort Some insist
that charming matron, Mrs. Francis
Burial Hoffman is the real leader
Others say Mrs. Goodhue Livingston
and Mrs. Charles Steele are the
foremost matrons in the colony. and
so II goes.
There is no doubt about Mrs
Hoffman's desire to lead things a,
the now fashionable watering place
and she has given several notable
entertainments there this season
Mrs. Hoffman has never shown any
leanings toward the social climber,

would find her warmly welcomed
there, both by the royal family and
by London society. to whom she would
prove a brilliant acquisition. and to
whom she would not be a stranger,
because her own father is very popu-
lar there on account OF his brave con-
duct during the war, as well as for
his other qualities, and because her
mother has always been SO much ad-
mired for her beauty and charm
Miss Grace. though a very pretty
girl, has not inherited all Mrs. Van

charming and attractive girl who has
been wonderfully well brought up and
whose simplicity of manner has won
her all hearts. She speaks several
foreign languages with ease, and cares
for serious reading and has wonder,

pressions. Kind and charitable also.
she has to her credit many acts OF

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in
lust noticing whether the hair is
well kept to judge of a woman's
ueatness, or good taste. II you are
one of the few who try to make
the most OF your hair. remember
that 1t is not advisable to wash
The hair with any cleanser made
Tor all purposes. but always use
some good shampoo. You can enjoy
The very best by getting some can

4 teaspoonful in cup OF hot water.
This makes a full cup OF shampoo

ply IL to all the hair instead Of
Just the top OF the head. Dam

solved and entirely disappear. Your

in the Red Cross and showed hersen
worthy of the great traditions OF
patriotism which have always distin-
guished her family. If Lord Bland

son. All the maids and matrons take
their dressiest frocks with them and

CONDITIONS DIFFERENT
AT >oUTHAsrPToN.
Today the pace at Southampton Is
bit swift Some Of US wonder how
those simple-minded summer resi-
dents OF forty years ago would have
looked upon such performances as
a younger married matron taking
cocktails to the beach in a thermos
bottle and passing the liquid refresh
ments about without so much as ar
attempt to disguise 1t.
Then, again. I wonder what they
would have thought had one of the
feminine members OF the clan
walked along the beach at bathing

They would have been horrifed. am
sure. Today ii is a common occur
renee to see three and sometimes four
matrons sitting by the seaside smok-
Ing away; or would they be aghast
when one of the most popular young
women in the resort drove up to the
bathing pavilion at the wheel Of her
car. with a cigarette perched at a
rakish angle in her beautiful mouth.
There is no denying Southampton

people passed in review all the girls

MANY PARTIES
FOR DEBUTANTEs-
An outstanding feature Of the pres-
ent season is the lack OF titled boun-
ders, who formerly found Newport
during the summer months, happy
hunting ground. Austrian counts,
German barons, Russian grand dukes
and pseudo French counts and mar
Quises always turned up at Newport
where they were wined and dined
by the susceptible leaders Of the
smart sets. Titles are no longer so
popular since the world war-and the
incunbrents likewise are not looked
upon with favor by the leading hos
ssesses Of American society.
II is such a relief TO stop into the
. Reading Room. the Casino, the Clam
. bake or some OF the other popular
Newport clubs and not encounter
at every step a portly. much-bewhis-
. kerede Russian grand duke.
