Show Society at Newport. A girl of "The Wild Rose" company, the bunch that recently did a vaudeville stunt at Mrs. "Neely" Vanderbilt's, writes a long description of the affair for the New York Telegraph. Among other good things she says: "Just as we got back to the hotel the cabby was telling us the cutest story about a man who jumped through another man's window, and the other man shot his own wife twice in the foot. And, of course, we were wild to know the names, but the cabby said it was continued in our next. If we'd take another five-dollar ride we'd get the sequel. Wasn't that real mean? We didn't have the 'V to burn, but in the theater that night we watched for a woman who limped. And there "vere three of them. Now, wasn't that mean, too? "And what I can't understand is why it is wrong to go to your relation's house when your relation's wife isn't just according to Hoyle, and yet jump through another man's window and leave him to shoot a poor, defenseless woman, who couldn't jump quick enough. But then, as Junie McCree continues to sing, that is one of the Newport New-port attitudes 'that cannot be explained.' " |
