activity this summer.
For nearly five years the pala-
tial villa-considered by many
the finest abode in all Of New
portland the far famed tea house
that stands on the wide lawns
which sweep down to the sea,
have been closed and untenanted.
and when Mrs. Belmont announced
last May that she would open
her estate this summer there
was much rejoicing.
This summer at Newport. Mrs.
Belmont has gone out Of her way
to be pleasant to the beauteous
Mrs. Robert Goelet, who in the
days Immediately following her
marriage to the multi.millionaire
''Bobbie." had rather a difficult
time of 1t socially, due to Mrs.
Ogden Goelet's attitude. Society,
especially the Newport set, has
always feared Mrs. Ogden Goelet,
and, inasmuch as no one desired
to incur the imperious Mary's
disfavor, "Bobbie's" lovely wife
was invited to but few dinner
parties and dances.
This summer, at Newport, 1t
has been q far different story;
Fernando Goelet has been a tre-
mendous success, both socially
and sartorially, and early in the
season Mrs. Belmont let 1t be
known that she was extremely
fond Of "Bobbie" Goelet's wife,
and hardly an entertainment has
been given at Marble House"
without Fernando being included
among the guests. With Mrs.
Belmont as her champion Mrs.
Goelet has swept everything be-
fore her.
Mrs. Belmont is one Of the few
persons who care not a snap of
their fingers about Mrs. Ogden
Goelet's likes and dislikes. Mrs.
Goelet and Mrs. Belmont have
never been overly "inty." In the
olden days Mrs. Belmont looked
upon the daughters Of the late
Richard r.. Wilson as something
akin to newcomers" and when
the news floats across the broad

 MT. Nowall answered that under no circumstances would his firm -aic- cept a bond issue from company that was barely paying and making it's dividends on so close a margin. City Attorney Cornell at this point took up the cross examination of Mir Nowall and forced him to admit that within the last six months, his firm Bridgeport Hydraulic Company and knowing that the company with which it was dealing was barely paying it's dividends had issued and accepted from the Bridgeport Hydraulic com pany $500,000 worth of Bridgeport Hydraulic company stock and had sold it to his company'S customers at q handsome premium. Confronted with this inconsistent evidence, Mr. Nowal1 stated that the issue was but a small one.''
 His testimony, however, came to an abrupt end when City Attorney Cor year his company had accepted and marketed a $1,00O,000 bond issue for the Bridgeport Hydraulic company. MT. Nowall said nothing and left the stand. This was conceded a victory for the city.
