I have some-times wondered that the ocean did not rise in its majesty and sweep the,settle-- ! ment from the face of the earth. But what clever men and women go there every year! There is Mrs.Willard Ward, the da'iufhter of Judge Erskine, of Geor-gia. She is full of graciousness and a scintillant wit. There is Brander Mat-thew) and the two clever sisters of Edgar Fawcett. The family of Gen. Alger, of Detroit, usually spend a part of the Rummer at Narrngansett. Mrs. Al- - ger is a charming woman, with fine, reg-- ular features and the most simple, nn- - pretending manners. She looks almost as young, too, as her daughter Fay, who is a blight girl, with dark hair and eyes, and always exquisitely dressed. Rumor j has it that Gen. Alger may be a can-- , didate for the presidency during the coming campaign. I know of no family that would be socially more welcoms in Waahington than they. HOW THEYKEEP COOL. The Marquise Lanza Gives Some Interest-ing Information About Hew York Ladies. EOENES AT SUMMER EESOETS. Where the Swell Ladies of Metropolitan Society 60 to Escape the Heat Dur-ing the Sweltering Season. justly pity the poverty wretches consigns the heated term WEcramped, ill ventilated in some tenement. But I wonder if the deni-zens of fashion are not lso worthv of commiseration when one considers the constant wear and tear to which they are subjected at a sum-mer watering place. Surely these fair matrons and maids make every possible acrifioe to comfort and well being, and often display a remarkable heroism. They are content or pretend to be with living in small, uncomfortable rooms devoid of any "modorn conveni-ences." They drees three times a day, no matter how hot and sticky the atmos-phere may be; they dance and bowl and play tennis until it becomes truly mirac-ulous that some of them survive to tell the tale. We all admit that it is very nice to have a villa at Newport, Narragansett or Bar Harbor, but the envious persons who grumble because they are obliged to "take rooms" at exorbitant prices jn summer hotels, or at those abortive institutions called summer boarding houses, little dream of the responsibility involved by the sort of independence a cottage affords. To have a cottage means to entertain, to give parties of all Jkinda whether you wish to or not, and to invito people to stay with you. If you happen to be a millionaire and afflicted by the constant craze for excitement, which I am told la a component part of tho "rich" temporament, wU and good. But possibly you are not a millionaire, and yon may crave a rational method of making yourself comfortable. A lady who lives not far from Wash-ington square told me a few weeks ago thai sha meant to remain at home the entire summer. "I haven't a daughter," ehe explained, "and I am sick and tired of fashionable hotels. In my own house I have a good bed and the finest linen. I have an excellent cook and a splendid hath room. I can go about all day in a thin white wrapper, and better still, 1 don't have to talk to Billy, curious or stupid people." I admired that woman. I thought these was muoh philosophy as well as muoh sound common sense in what she said, Thero is only one great disadvantage connected with her sum-mer programme. That is the enforced solitude. Fancy not having a soul to speak to from week's end to week's end. Imagine sitting and thinking eternally about your vanished youth, your lost opportunities, your mistakes and the deoeptions perpetrated upon you by your friends. Is there a woman living who, following this regime, would not become horribly morbid and nervous in loss than two weeks? I met at Manhattan beach the other day a pretty little journalist who had gone down for an outing,' and to listen to one of Mrs. Marcy Raymond's new waltzes played as only Gilmore can play it. Mrs. Raymond, by the way, is spending the season at Manhattan beach, and is the center always of an admiring crowd. The little journalist was in a bad humor in spite of the waltz, and she was inclined to quarrel with fate. "Of course," said she, "I can only get an afternoon off now and then, and tho sea hreexes are perfectly delicious. But the crowd i dreadful! I can't get served in the dijiing room; the moist air has taken all the crimp out of my bair and ruined by best hat. And oh,,, that horrid ride bac&to the oityl 1. shall get home hot, tired and cross,, and I shan't be fit to speak to for days. Am I coming down again next weok? No, indeed! I am going to stay home, eat a light dinner, take a sea bath mads of the salt I buy in boxes a.pd read a nics, trashy novel until it is dime to go to bed. I shall j have a lovy time." ' Oertainl.ihe wiJ und my advice to her toilinf sisters ito go and do like-wise. "I don't think l.could endure a sura mer," said Eosiia Vokes to me just be-- fore she sailed for Europe a week or two ago, "unless I passed it in a pretty little cottage way off in the country. We have such a tiny place in England. I dont know how we are going to get into it, for the children are so big and the rooms so small. .. But I am . taking ' with me every kind of flower and vegetable seed I could find here, and I'm going to amuse myself making an American gar-den." There is one woman whom I really envy this summer, and that is Mrs. Ath-erto-the brilliant author of "Hermia Buydam" and "Los Cerritos." She is traveling in southern California, and Jonbtiess collecting material for a new itory which 6hall excel in picturesque-ces- s her last. Mrs. Atherton was in Europe last year, but she writes me that California is a thousand times more interesting than anything she saw abroad. Why is it, I wonder, that 60 few of our people explore the marvelous regions that ' abound in ur great west? Is it because it happens to be the fashion to rush to Europe? Those fortunate ones, however, who really constitute the life at water-ing places usually remain faithful to the end. What, indeed, would Newport be without her professional beauties, like Jl'm Hargous, or her social leaders, such as the popular Mrs. Whitney and the clover Mr. McAllister? Mr. McAllister in his peculiar field has a Napoleonic . genius. He is really a great man. One hears rather wild tales every sum-mer from Narragansett, but I think the habitues of that place are rather mors t, gpe wopld snpnnM, It is. a AN IDEAL SOUTHERN HOVE. The Etc Tenne.we Plantation Where Congressman Washington Lives. .One of the most perfect specimens yet remaining of the old southern homes of which one reads in novels is Wessyng-ton- , the family homestead of Repie-sentativ- e Joseph Edwin Washington, in middle Tennessee. It has been pre-served intact with all its ante-bellu-flavor, and the same old plantation melo-dies which used to resound through the length and breadth of Dixie can still be heard there in the gloaming after the day's work is done. The place is still the self supporting little colony . it was in the old days, with its blacksmith's forge and its carpenter shops and the weaving rooms where' the "hands" manufactured their homespun from stuffs produced on the estate. The old cook who still presidos over the culinary department in the little separate build-ing in the rear was born in the kitchen seventy-fiv- e years ago and has been there ever since, with the exception of two years, when he joined the contra-band camps, only to come back and serve his old family for the rest of his davs. Wessyngtoit is situated in Robertson county, Tenn., three miles south of the small town of Cedar Hill. It was settled and named by the grandfather of the REPRESENTATIVE WASHINGTON'S HOME. present owner, one of those sturdy pioneers who rode on horseback from Virginia at the close of the Revolutionary war and opened rip the wilderness in Tennessee. The grounds are entered through a gate in the middle of a long Btone wall, and, passing between two enormous old oaks, the visitor is taken by circuitous paths through acre upon acre of fine lawns plentifully besprinkled with ancient trees, hoary relics of the primeval forests. A long flight of stone steps leads from tho drive up to the ter-race upon which is the mansion itself. It is one of the finest old places In Tennessee. Built of brick it covers three sides of a square court, and its size prevents more than a small portion from being shown in the cut. Over tho front entrance and also at the east end is an old fashioned porch supported by square twelve inch cedar posts cut on the place. A wide hall runs through to the rear, where a two storied gallery surrounds the three inner Bides of the court. The interior presents a vast expanse of rooms and corridors. The furniture is older than the house itself, and some of it is of rare and ex-quisite design. In the drawing room, standing opposite each other, are two pianos. One, covered with beautiful carvings Bnd inlaid work, was an im-portation from Vienna way back in the last century, and was used by Mr. Wash-ington's grandmother. The other is plain and simple in appearance, and was one of the first pianos to be manufact-ured in the United States. There are also in this room fonr large old candelabra which were presented to Andrew Jackson while he was president, and which were brought from the White House by Maj. Lewis, Jackson's chief factotum. They are of bronze, and each is capable of holding ten candles.- Two of them are made to hang from the walls, while tho other two have hand-somely ornamented bases. The front of the house is shaded by cedars planted nearly a century ago, and now measuring two feet in diameter. On tho east side is the flower garden, laid out in beds aud walks and surrounded by a hedge three-quarte- of a mile long. A pretty summer house occupies tho center. Both Mr. and Mrs. Washington are very fond of this great, wandering, old fashioned garden, and take porsonal charge of it whiln th?y are at homo. In the rear of the house are about forty acres in forest trees and grass. The negro cabins used to be here, built in cir-cular rows around tho central hill. The farm lies at a short distanco from the house and consists of 11,00(1 acres, upon which even-thin- g in tho bhape of live stock and crops is raised. It is in a rolling country, with alternate ridges and val-leys, and is beautifully watered, for in every valley is a creek fed by live springs. The Sulphur Fork creek, quite a considerable stream, also runs through the farm for about twelve miles. Many of the hands still employed on the place were among the 800 slaves formerly to tho estate. ... A CLUB HOUSE FOR WOMEN. It Is a Fin Affair and a Center of Mt. erarr Activity. At Grand Rapida, Mich., is located one of the most prpsperous women's clubs in the United States. It is called the Ladies' Literary club, and is the outgrowth of a class in history formed several years ago. The membership is limited to 000 persons. The club house, according to The Chi-cago Tribune, is one of the handsomest structures of its size in existence. It is two stories in height at the front with a lofty single story in the rear for the main THE CLUB HOUSE. hall or auditorium. It is built of Amherst, 0.,blue stone and Grand Rapids repressod brick with terra cotta trimmings, slate roof, stained glass and French plate glass windows. At the front on tho first floor the main entrance ' opens into a large reception hall, with a handsome, broad, winding staircase leading to the "upper room," as the ladies designate what club men would call a banquet hall. Back of the stairs on the north side is a commodious and convenient toilet room. At the left of the main entrance, on the first floor and fronting the street, is the club library, a room about twenty-fiv- e feet square. Tho library opens into the auditorium, a room about fifty foet square, with a ceiling twenty-on- e feet high, embracing a dome and skylight at the center. At the farther or west end of the auditorium is a large stage, flank- -' ed by dressing rooms. The floor of the auditorium is slightly inclined toward the stage. It is covered witli a hand-some body Brussels carpet, in which a soft yellowish brown is the prevailing tint, .harmonizing perfectly with the beautiful decorations of the ceiling and dome. The buffs and blues in soft tints and conventional figures of wild roses in bloom which adorn the ceiling produce highly artistic effects. The library is finished in oak, and is also elegantly dec-orated. The colors are darker than those of the auditorium, but are complement-ary to them. The handsome grates and oak mantels, simple in form, are design-ed in conformity with the general archi-tecture. Above the mantel in the audi-torium is a beautiful plato glass mirror of the full width of the mantel, while in the library the oakon panel above the mantel bears the ird "Books" in bold carved letters surrounded by a scroll, on which is the quaint text, "Round these our pastimes and our happiness will grow." A Famous Alan's Early Home. About a mile and a half from the depot at Purdy's Station, Westchester county, N. Y., stands an insignificant looking WHERE OREEt.ET BEGAN HOUSEKEEPING. cottage that, on its own account, de-serves hardly a passing glance. But it becomes interesting if tho passerby chances to .know rjiat in, tho humble abode here depicted the famous oditor, Horace Greeley, began housekeeping. He was a hard working, poorly paid in those days, and the j5 a month rental demanded of him then probably seemed a bigger sum than a hundred times that amount in the succeeding era of his prosperity and influence. A Itiilllant Career Cut Short. Henry Bernard Carpenter, the er of Boston, who died recently at a Maine summer resort, was a fine type of the educated Irish gentloman. Born at Dublin half a century ago, he entered Oxford university1 when 18 years old, and w a a graduated with honors from that ancient in-stitution of learn-ing in 1863. Up to his life was spent at REV. H. B. CARrr.NTEi!.hptn0, ' llU" tionul and litera-ry pursuits. Then he left Ireland for America, and after occupying several Maine pastorates was culled to Mollis Street church, Boston, in 1878. For nine years he filled tho pulpit of that historic religious home to the complete satisfac-tion of all concerned. When, in 1887, the church was united with the South Congregational he retired and organ-ized the Liberal Christian church. Mr. Carpenter was a fine classical scholar, sad wrote eloquently cither in prose or verse. Ha leaves a wifo and one child. A Hriitlmentnl Old Gentleman. Sentiment is not confined to tho fomale sex, and there are some notable examples of sentiment, even verging to senti-mentality, in the make up of some of our well known public men. There is a cer-tain well known gentleman in Chicago, says The Graphic, who is noted for his enthusiasm and sentiment, although his hair is touched with the snows of many winters, and a stalwart son of calls him father. One particu-larly tender episode of this gentleman's youth is recalled by the odor of lemon verbena, and in commemoration of this event a box of lemon verbenas bloom in the window of his room the year round; he wears a spray of it always ill his but-tonhole, and his son, when away from home, never fails to inclose in his letter to his father a spray of lomon verbena. The Khojnk Raag--e Tunnel. A remarkable bit of engineering' is the gloat tunnel through the Khojak range in upper India, ou the railroad from Quetta to Candahar. It is 12,800 feel long and will carry a double line of rails. It was built at enormous expense and in the face of heavy obstacles. The Mew Trimmings. We hear a great deal of the revival ot fringe; but it has not as yet got much hold in Paris, aud we are inclined to think that it is mora talked of than worn in England. Fine silk guipure aud jet work ore applied to a great many different shapes of Bolero jackets, intended for bodices aud mantles. Sometimes they are accompanied by high upstanding collars and short poiuted pieces, forming a species of yoke, with high epau-lets. The Bolero ia little differect from the Figaro, being shallower and ronuder, and for the moment tha former is most worn, but both styles are fashionable, and you cannot do wrong in selecting a bodies trimming of the kind.
