Through force, of circumstances and
general lassitude brought about by tbo
condition ot the elements but few
events of Interest In social life uro pre
sented for the contemplation of thoso
who nro fnmlllnr with the dolncs of
society. 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. The golf links
are of necessity In a crude condition
at present, but before the GSKlng of
the next season It Is prc&lmo that
they will bo among the finest In the
state. The event of Tuesday af
ternoon and evening proved conclu
sively that the Lakeside Country club
will bo-the popular resort during the
balance of the season for the leading
society people of Montrose and promi
nent visitors from larger cities.
Among the Scrantonlans at the open
ing of the Montrose Country club were
Miss Poore, 'Misses Thayer and Mr.
Shafer und Mr. Torrey. The latter, In
company with Misses Lelsenrlng, of
Upper Lehigh, gave the beginners at
Montrose an exhibition of golf as the
game Is demonstrated by experts.

inent young people from West Scran

jf HER POINT OF VIEW
New York Isn't half bad In hot
weather, nnd somehow It seems to bo
nctunlly cool these days. 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.

catchy waltz movement that should

An Impression.
A girl In a window seat
Dusk, and a single lamp
Lit In a gray, gray sheet
Whlto face ugalnst tho glass,
Blurred with the misty dump
Stained with the yellow gas,
Eyes that a Inst hopo seek.
Lips that boar longing's stump
And something bright on her cheek.

Yachting Suits A. Linen of Silk

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. Fannie Field,
