The little ghost lady ventures a timid opinion but quickly subsides, for after she has used the word Metropolitan, the lady from Boston twice pronounces it the Metropolitan, a long and with such decision and disapproval that most any ghost would melt and fly. THE lady of the house thinks you lack all taste in clothes.

Even when you put on your best black hat with a beauty rose, you are told it would be best to go back and put on something else. She thinks you are stubborn because you fail to be bowed down, but it's only because you. are more worried about the style of your writing than about the style of your clothes. MRS. J.

J. BROWN; of Denver, a survivor of the Titanic, disaster, may always be recognized at Newport by the bracelets she wears. On her right wrist there is a band of gold engraved and with a raised design much wider than an old-fashioned napkin-ring. On her left wrist there. is a bracelet equally wide, but set with a cameo.

IN London those dyspeptics who grow increasingly sad with the adopting of each new fad, are now pulling long faces as they discuss Xanthin. Everybody is afraid of Xanthin. To avoid it you must never eat an egg later than six hours after it is laid. All illness in Greater New York is due no doubt to Xanthin. Few eggs, so say the London writers on dietetics are now being recommended in non-flesh diets be-' cause after six hours an element called Xanthin is evolved, and this is extremely harmful.

So and So and it would have been all right. A NOTHER bit of irony is to see an important matron who neither by telephoning nor by letter have you been able to meet, sitting in her motor car on Bellevue Avenue and talking gaily with some reporter who perhaps has called her "that old frump" or "here comes the awful Mrs. So and So." But there is triumph in his eye. He knows you will see him, having a few words with high society, though you immediately pretend to be in a great rush to get into one of the small shops and try to rob him of his triumph. A ND if you are not fond of talking about the people of i whom you must write and not willing to agree that everybody rich is surely a degenerate, neither is your boarding house a refuge where there is a measure of comfort and peace.

When the end of the season comes and all the other boarders go, the scene in the dining room augurs ill for the journalist, who after long weeks of being between the devil and the deep sea (that is, the editors and Newport) has a new name coined by new friends. She is the "little ghost lady" and not buxom as she hoped to be. Charles Dana Gibson could best draw the picture in the dining room. It has a high ceiling and the spaciousness he always employs as a background for some sarcasm. The arrangement is this the lady of the house sits at the head of one large table, the lady from Boston at the head of the secondhand the ghost lady at the third.

When the maid has passed everything, the ghost lady waits a bit before she begins to eat. She feels somehow that she is one of a trio, and that there are three big pianos on the stage. It is time to turn the leaves of the music; now one, two, three, four; one two, three four, all 1 i i Photograph by Mr. John H. Thompson.
