A. of Interest WELL, I told jou tlint If I heard any thing more nboiit the election nt the Casino jn Newport I'd let you know So here it is. The election was held on Monday, and the lour womc,n who were elected governors were Mrs. fr Nathaniel Thayer, of lloston'; Mies Huth ( Twomblcy, of Ncvv York : Mrs. Vincent Astor and Mrs. Hnrgcr Wnllach. And just for that, or at least on top of it, Mrs. Wnllach entertained nt tea yes terday nftcrnoon nt the Casino in honor of Norris Williams nml his wife, and j several of the tennis plajcrs who have .recently come hack -from service with J the army or nnvy. Mr. and Mrs. Itob- ert Kelso Cassatt gave n dinner at their place on Monday evening. Marguerite Cnperton is up there now, to the delight of evcrjbody. You know Lthc Cnpertons nre not stajing in Ncvv- F port this ynrfor the first time In per fect ages, nnd evcrjbody has missed Marguerite so. Hut (-he's visiting Mrs. Oibson Fnhnestock, 1 believe, and ap peared at tennis the other dny wearing n most becoming light blue chiffon dress, nnd everybody fell on her neck, nnd welcomed her with much glee. She ( is the daughter of Admiral and Mrs. .William U. Capcrton, and lives in Washington in the winter. I HEAR that Esther Lloyd is nmong the 700 Y. M. C. A. workers who arrived Inst Thursday from ltrcst on the HavcrforiK She is the daughter of the late Malcolm Lloyd and lives nt "Llanyan, Devon. She went overseas about six months ngo, and worked in the same ennteen tlint Netty Elliot was in at Brest. She sas that It was in tensely interesting nnd plenty of work, in spite of the fact thnt so ninny of the men were leaving nil the time, i believe she was working among the per manent engineers, who arc doing con struction there. She nnd Betty were the only Phllndclphlans nt that particular place, so they must have had quite a fellow feeling for each other. . 'pHE finals of the men's doubles were 1 plnycd on Sunday nftcrnoon nt Cnpe May at the Golf Club, in spite of the fact thnt it was tennis. And great was the interest and excitement thereof. Henry ration and Eddie Cnssard won over Whitney Wright nnd his partner, nnd the score wns 4-0, C-4, 0-3. You see, I know nil about it. And, what's more I know what some of the people wore and I'll tell you about one or two of them. Brownie Wnrburton was there, you know, visiting the Heck Wethcrills (they gave a dinner for her before the dance nt the. Bed Mill on Saturday), and Bhe had on nn awfully good-looking dress of light blue hnndkerchief linen, with the neck, pntch pockets nnd vest trimmed, or -rather outlined, in em broidery of a darker shade of blue wool. It was stunning. And then she wore with it a wide leghorn hat faced with French blue chiffon and trimmed with a wreath of blue grapes. Edith Wilson wore n most attractive dress of pink tricolette and n pink1 or gandie lint adorned with pert little or gandie rosettes and a light blue-ribbon bow. SHE was traveling alone for the first time in her life, slightly nervous, but otherwise nil right. She had never been in a diner before, but you never would have supposed it from the so phisticated way in which she entered, took her place atthc table, nnd looked nonchalantly about her. ' But somehow, the waiter, who was one of those shiny, black ones who are at once friends and obsequious, found out that she was going to his own state in the South nnd, more than that, to his county. And, to her utter surprise, she was overwhelmed with "repeats" of everything she ordered. And when she expressed said surprise 'Tie rolled one eye nt her, while the other gazed meditatively out the window, nnd he remarked, with feeling, "Because, lady, you is goin' to S county, and I'se bo'n and bred thare!"
