Leaders of the Scranton swim who nru not scattered about at neighboring or fur away summer re sorts have been using their best ef forts In the endeavor to keep cool dur ing the past few days and have given little thought to the amusements which absorb their attention from the period, that Jack Frost heralds the opening of the winter season of gaiety. From the nearby lakes and rural re sorts come reports of summer social events In the way of picnics, boating parties and golf tournaments. The opening of the Lakeside Country club at Montroso this week was an event In which many Sorantonlnns ljave been Interested.

Hut Just let mo warn you people who fancy you can pick up bargains thick nnd fast during Ausust, that you can do better right In Scranton, If you read The Tribune und look nfter tho special sales. It Is my belief that the New York mer chants practice on the provincial buy ers during the heated term. For In stance, there Is the nil-pervading shirt waist. You might naturally expect that they are giving shirt waists away In New York, but they nren't, nnd the ones which nro going cheap are In comprehensibly ugly. It's the same with foulard silks. Tho creepy, crawly, sen-serpenty designs In weird blues and purples nre cheap to a tempting degree until you begin to consider that somebody will naturally bo expected to have to wear tho gown thus purchased. Then you decide 39 cents a yard to bo expensive. Even nt the great and good John Wanamaker's they are endeavoring to palm oft old time, soiled nrtlcles upon tho greedy bargain hunter at n ruinous price to you. Then tho store ladles are so In different In hot weather, and the ele vators are so slow, nnd everything seems to conspire ngalnst tho shopper. A policeman fanned himself with his helmet yesterday, and remarked wear ily: "The only worse time than Christ mas Is midsummer, when the people go about trying to keep alive In the heat, and are so much occupied In thinking what they must buy to take away with them for the summer that they don't use ordinary care about getting run over nt crossings. There nre more women who get off backward in the summer thnn at any other time, nnd that's saying n lot. I don't know why they seem to think a special Provi dence protects them In hot weather nnd allows them to go about without their wits, but they do." The Montauk steamship line, which takes you down to Shelter Island, Ori ent, Sag Harbor, Block Island and other points, has finally succumbed to the Inevitable and has sold out to tho Long Island railroad. It has been a question of buying or selling foil some time. The competition between the two routes has been so sharp that no money could be made by either, and since the transfer of property rates have gone up. it Is, however, a rea sonably Inexpensive trip ns It costs about three dollars from New York to Block Island by boat, with nnother dollar for stateroom. You can get a beautiful single room with a brass bed, and other nice frills, on the Shlnnecock, but If you love to eat, you'd better take along a lunch. Since the transfer of the boats the very mischief has been to pay with tho meals, on that handsome vessel. The entire outfit, with the exception of the captain. Is now, including the cook, nnd you have to wait from one und a half to two hours for dinner a la carte. But then you have a lovely view from the dining room on the first deck, as you sail gaily up the sound. if there could but be u special dis pensation in the wny of transportation of the potatoes from Orient and tho empty barrels to that picturesque spot, the ride down might be attended with more felicity. As It Is, you want to see to It that you get on the right side of the boat, that is. the side with even numbers, then you won't hear 1,700 empty barels being unloaded In the silent watches of the night. If you can also arrange to prevent the girls, who want to get off at Orient, from occupying the next stateroom, your ride will be one of bliss. Just as you are nicely asleep, one of them demands to know "Where Is my other-shoe?" while another In undimin ished terms Insists that the girl In the upper berth quit squeaking tho bed, while the one evidently In the rear of the lower berth bitterly complains that her companion Is occupying the entire space. One rouses you from unuther imp with a query addressed to her chum up nloft as to whether she be lieves the steward will call them In time, which question Is answered to your dissatisfaction later on, when a furious chattering follows the said call. But the ride Is entrancing. Block Island has a series of new roofs this season, ns a result of last winter's storm. Otherwise It Is much the same, a dear, beautiful, fascinat ing snot. You are not very far out ot the world, for there Is telephonic and telegraphic communications with the mainland, and the wires are kept busy. The Woonsoeket is rather a favorite place for Scrantonlans. Among thoso who aro here are Mrs. Williams, Miss Richards, Miss Edwards, Miss Will lams and Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Rice. Attorney Kelly and family and Miss Uraluurd left on Wednesday. Saucy Bess. MUSICAL NOTES. Lightning Rod Man Interviewed in Gotham Paln.er Williams, of South Main ave. nue.

Yachting Suits A. Linen of Silk Dress Dinner Dresses Hair uressing Jewelry Atternoon or Evening Wraps. Special Correspondence of Tho Tribune. Newport, Aug. 4. Tho Newport yachting suit depends largely upon tho extent of tho trip. If one goes for a season's yachting, a sergo or llannel dress Is Indispensable; If for a day's pleasure, a whlto pique trimmed with crimson cloth bands, sometimes wldo and rjulto ns often narrow, with short Jacket ornamented with revers In keep ing, meets fashionable requirements. A slinplo whlto pique skirt, with a crimson or bluo cloth Jacket Is sty lish, or suits trimmed by a red cloth fnclng cut In scallops, with black braid above, and Jacket trimmed to match, havo uttracted attention ut recent yncbtlng parties. Embroidery In con trast embodies a stylish fancy, such ns a very flno whlto cloth dress, em broidered In blue silk; tho design being long, slender, leaves drooping grace fully over each other. A SECOND WHITE YAC'HTINO SUIT worn by n Haltlmoro blonde was of the llnest quality si rge, trimmed with soutache braid put on In scallops down tho side ot the front breadth, with a jacket scnlloped all around; falling Just below the waist and large Bailor collar sloping Into revers nt the front. A very elegant Imported yachting suit displayed by a young Now York ma tron was of royal blue canvas, lined throughout with cherry-colored silk, and trimmed down tho left side of the front breadth with three clusters ot gilt buttons, twelve In each cluster. Tho short Jacket had a little point at back and front, finished with gilt but tons In clusters; white moire rovers nnd whlto silk front giving comple tion. THE NEW FABMC linen of silk Is ordinary In appearance, considering how expensive It Is, and a blue morning dress ot this novelty displayed by a Chicago belle had a cir cular skirt with a deep rulllo tucked at top and bottom, with an embroid ered oversklrt (simulated) dono In whlto silk somewhat on tho Renais sance lace style and waist In keeping, conveying by no means an elegant ef fect, but costing JUG. An Inexpensive heliotrope lawn In small checks and dots, having a wide llounco arranged In a point at tho left side; the cor sage a square lawn yoke edged by whlto lnco (similar to tho border) above a full baby waist; and the mousque talre sleeves trimmed with lace, was really prettier than the linen ot silk drcs." at about a fifth of the expense. THE HROOCH OV AM OTHERS Is this season a heart-shaped nffalr, formed of small diamonds with a large one at tho centre. Diamond clasp pins, for holding shirt waist and skirt to gether, combine utility, beauty nnd ex penditure; tho plainer grades showing gold pins set with one, two or three? stones. "Diamond ropes" Is tho fash ionable term applied to the long necls chains, now so fashionable, being, in tact, chains of small diamonds. IN AFTERNOON DRIVES nn liollevue or Ocean avenue, great" opportunity for the display of elegant wraps Is afforded, and as colors op black nre equally In vogue, the variety Is very attractive. Large, colored cloth capes with rounded fronts, nnd trimmed by deep white lace ruilles, headed with colored silk passementerie, look charm-' lug In either sunshine or shadow, a llnishlng touch being given' by velvet rosettes, or a velvet twist, set beneath the extremely ornate collar, usually cut in four tabs, lined with colored slllc nnd edged with plaited moussellne-de-sole rubles, affording both protection and charm. A beautiful white wrap worn by a millionaire's wlfo had n. white silk foundation, under white net bordered by a plaited mousseline-d- sole frill, and over this frill was a sec ond rulllo of Renaissance lace. A largq shoulder yoke of shirred moussdlihu-de-eole was finished by a rulllo, und the collar was cut nnd trimmed In the stylo already described. Ulack qpd white wraps are also In great favor, and over 'white satin, open, lcaf-ll,lq passementerie shows to great advant age. Parasols are as elegant as tha wraps white silk In all grades are aeen the superb point lace, tho chiffon ruttled or embroidered silk, nnd no less attractive are colored silk parasols with vines of contrasting embroldocyt intersected by gilt tinsel lines In wav ing designs.
