NEWPORT, R. l., July 24-Society
is turning more toward charities this
summer than private social affairs, and
it seems as if the wartime activities
OF the civilians, particularly among the
women, had resulted in this legacy of
goodness. The women of the summer
colony, and those of the army and
navy sets, are entering in active work
IN the interest Of the various benefits
being given, and not content with act
ing as patronnesses, are also working
on the committees which have charge
of the affairs.
One of the principal events of the
week was the musical at Mrs Paola
Flnocchlaro's cottage, Wabun, for the
benefit of the American Womens Hos
pitfalls. Dr. Alexander Hamilton Rice
has been engaged to speak on his ex-
periences up the Amazon, trip from
which he recently returned, for the
benefit of the Newport Hospital, this
week, at the Casino.
The annual horse show At the Ca
sino in September is to be for the bene-
fit of the Newport Hospital.
Miss Amy Grant gave a recital in
Howard Hilder's studio this week for
the Big Brothers Camps, and for the
benefit of the new Navy Club in New
York, Stop Thief" by a New York
company is to be given at the train

to show that even with the war over,
society has not turned its head from
