BROOKLYN LIFE. 10 returned to Quogue on Tuesday, after spending a week with the Stevens the Misses Phillips, daughters of John Francis Phillips, of Eighth avenue; Mr; J. Frank Phillips, Mrs. George Holt Henshaw, Miss Cornelia G. Henshaw, Mrs.

Nathaniel Matson and the Misses Matson, of this borough Mr. and Mrs. Francis H. Holmes and the Misses Holmes, of East Orange Mrs. James Otis Hoyt and the Misses Hoyt, Admiral and Mrs; Benham, Miss Benham, Commodore Wallace, Miss Wallace, Mrs.

James Leff erts and Miss Louise Lefferts, of Flatbush; Miss Lucile Glatz and Mr. Edgar Glatz, of this borough Mr. and Mrs. Frederick S. Little and Miss Edith Little, Mrs.

Alexander Nichols Cook, Miss Eidlitz and Miss Julia T. Eidlitz, of Manhattan Mrs. William H. Sage, Miss Gerrard, Mr. Charles Osborne, junior, and Miss Schuyler.

A LAWN tennis party given by the Joseph E. Brouns, on their beautiful grounds overlooking the bay, and a so-called corn-roast, on the beach in the moonlight, resulting in more hilarity and burned vegetables than roast corn, were among the happiest of recent events, the Schepps and Holmes, of Howell's Point, being the conspirators in the cast of the latter entertainment. Last Saturday evening the Holmes gave a dance, at which evening-dress was barred and entertaining novelties introduced, and the Hoyts have out invitations on red paper for. a ghost seance at their charming country place on the South road. A number of afternoon teas have been given, but the most "important was at the golf clubhouse on Wednesday of last week in honor of the Quogue ladies' team of golfers, which was beaten for the second time by the ladies of the Bellport club.

Miss Louise Lefferts was the one Brooklyn representative on the Bellport side and won her match. Mr. Edgar Glatz and Mr. Albert Muller, of this borough, came down to Bellport last week from Good Ground aboard the Seawanhaka trial boat of 1902, Atalanta, which they have purchased. They tried to enter the Labor Day regatta, but were barred, the only boat of their type in Bellport being the Fife thirty-footer Dugan, a mahogany boat, which was presented by Mr.

W. K. Vanderbilt, junior, to Mr. R. C.

Watson, junior, the fiance" of Miss Marion Pepper. As Mr. Watson was at Baltusrol preparing to play for the amateur golf championship, there was no one who would take the responsibility of racing his boat. Mr. Raloh Brandreth.

Mr. THE engagement of Miss Lillian Morey Wells, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Wells, of 550 Madison street, has just been' announced.

Her fiance is Mr. Alfred Gilbert Ogle, of Baltimore, the son of Mr. Robert Ogle, the Recorder of that city. Both socially and in musical circles Miss Wells is prominent in the Stuyvesant Heights section. ALSO just announced is the engagement of Miss E.

Althea -Parsons, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Parsons, of Second avenue, Bay Ridge, to Mr.

C. Walter Bene, of Seventy-seventh street, in the same section of this borough. It is expected that the wedding will take place in the early autumn. ON Thursday of last week the marriage of Mrs. Isabel Tuttle Warden to Dr.

William Smith Nelson, of Sar-anac Lake, took place in that Adirondack village, the Rev. Sybrandt Nelson officiating. The wedding was an extremely quiet affair, the bride being in mourning for her son, the late Loris Freeman Warden, who died very suddenly at Saranac Lake on the first of April. Mrs. Nelson's first husband was Dr.

James B. Warden, and their home was at 253 De Kalb avenue. She is a daughter of Mrs. William Tuttle, of 269 Clinton avenue, and a sister of Mrs. Frank Freeman, junior.

WITH scarcely more than the legal number of witnesses the marriage of Miss Mary Seney Sheldon, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George R. Sheldon, to Mr. William Fuller, of Manhattan, was celebrated at St.

Paul's Church, Glen Cove, last Wednesday morning. The Rev. J. W. Gam-mack officiated at the wedding, which appears not to have had the sanction of the bride's parents on account of the fact that she is Mr.

Fuller's junior by many years. Mr. Fuller is a brother of Mrs. William D. Guthrie, of "Meudon," Glen Cove, and a well-known member of the Union, Metropolitan and Racquet clubs.

Mrs. Fuller is a granddaughter of the late George I. Seney and also of the late William C. Sheldon, of Remsen street. The Sheldons, who live at 24 East Thirty-eighth streetj Manhattan, recently returned from Bar Harbor to "Pembroke," their country place at Glen Cove.

THOUGH there has been some slight depletion of the hotel contingent at the Wyandotte and Goldthwait, the departures this week having, by the way, included Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A. Eddy and their family, social life at Bellport, Long Island, has been almost unprecedentedly active during the past few weeks, and, judging by present indication, the advent of September has only afforded an extra stimulus to the little coterie of cottagers and land owners who constitute the active element. What, however, Would be considered dissipation in Bellport would be regarded as very temperate in the more pretentious communities to the west or the east.

There is, nevertheless, a certain originality as well as delightful un-conventionality about the entertaining not often found elsewhere, and what is wanting in display is more than compensated for by the mutual congeniality and cordial intimacy prevailing in the set indicated. As usual, Mrs. Ralph Brandreth is foremost in all social enterprises, and nothing has gone fur ther to bring the younger element together than her Thursday afternoons, when the lawn at "Chetola" presents a most picturesque and animated scene with lawn tennis, croquet golf an invention of the Brandreth boys quoits and numerous outdoor games in active operation. BY all odds the event thus far which aroused the biggest interest was the amateur vaudeville show and musical burlesque, in aid of the Bellport Volunteer Fire Company, at "Chetola" last Monday evening. This was given to aid the company in its efforts to win the championship cup at the volunteer firemen's tournament at Sag Harbor on the succeeding Wednesday.

The whole thing produced no end of fun, as well as some remarkably clever work. The hit of the vaudeville show was undoubtedly made by young Mr. Irving Broun, of this borough, in imitations, but Mr. Guy S. Brandreth and Mr.

Kenoch Myers, as Weber and Fields; Miss Strakosch, in songs; Miss Esther Henshaw, in a Scotch reel; Mr. H. F. Hensler, in a stump speech, and Mr. Jack Brandreth, as Happy Hooligan, were all capital.

The burlesque, entitled "Bellport Truck," was an uncommonly clever production by Mrs. Frederick Edey, who took the leading solo part Miss McLean, daughter of General McLean, U.S.A., retired, and Mr. Irving Broun, who interpolated some burlesque features, in collaboration. Others in the cast were Miss Anna Edey, the charming Miss Martha Pepper, who brought out roars of laughter by her incongruous attempts at tough vernacular; Miss Strakosch, the Misses McLean, Mrs. Cass Smith, Miss Henshaw, the Misses Gardner, Mr.

H. F. Hensler, Mr. H. G.

Lyman, Mr. Jack Brandreth, Miss Julia Edey, Miss Brandreth, Mr. W. P. Pepper and Mr.

Nathaniel Sage. The atendance included the John Motts, who have recently returned to their country-seat after spending the summer in cruising on their big steam yacht; Mr. Frederick Edey, Mrs. William Piatt Pepper, of Philadelphia; Mrs. Richmond Mayo Smith, Miss Lucie Mayo Smith, Miss Amy Mayo Smith, Mr.

and Mrs. Joseph E. Broun, Mr. and Mrs. William L.

Newton, Dr. and Mrs. Charles Louis Fincke, Miss Harriett Stevens. Miss Jessie Stevens, Miss Ethel Eames, who James Lyman, Mr. Walter P.

Henshaw and Mr. Richmond Mayo Smith recently returned from a cruise to Sag Harbor by way of Canoe Place and Shelter Island. Miss Mary Packer returned to' Brooklyn last Wednesday, after spending a week with the Henshaws, and expects to return with her mother, Mrs. William S. Packer, to their farm in Connecticut, where they have been passing the summer.

THERE was a good-sized gathering at "Heartsease," the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Millard F. Smith, of 559 Bedford avenue, at the northern end of Lake George last Monday, evening, the occasion being the presentation of the handsome cups offered by Mrs. Smith as trophies the golf tournament held at the "Tin-y-Coed" court golf links during the day.

Some eleven of the younger members of the Rogers Rock colony competed, and the play throughout was excellent, the women putting up fully as good a game as the men. In fact two of the best scores of the day were turned in by women, Mrs. Jesse W. Johnson, of Riverside Drive, Manhattan, the winner of the first prize, and Miss Marion Smith Mrs. Johnson only defeating Miss Smith on the last green, after a match which at no time was either more than one up.

The play was followed by a gallery of nearly a hundred, all of whom, at the conclusion of the tournament, adjourned to "Heartsease." AT'; the Samoset, Rockland Breakwater, last week's golfing events included a putting contest for both men and women, on Friday, for the. silver loving cup presented by Mrs. Alexander Pearson, of Brooklyn. On Tuesday afternoon of last week Mr. R.

A. C. Smith's steam yacht Priva-; teer, which stopped tor a few days in the harbor, when the owner was on his way North several weeks ago with a laree party on board, again came to anchor in the bay after a cruise which included Bar Harbor and bt. John, New Brunswick. Among those who registered at the Samoset from this borough last week were Mr.

and Mrs. Henry M. Whitney and Miss Whitney, who were accompanied by Mrs. T. W.

Little and Mr. William H. Reed, Mr. and Mrs. Charles C.

King and Miss Louise King. Mrs. William E. ConrOw, Miss Dora L. Conrow and Miss Anna H.

Conrow, of Berkeley place, were registered at the Mansion House on Wednesday of last week. THERE was, of course, a full social calendar for the holidays at Easthampton, and as the weather wa3 perfection itself the many sporting events which occupied a large por tion of the daytime went through without interruption. The golf links were particularly well patronized, and though it is near the end of the bathing season the water was just the right temperature, and, in consequence, there were many who went in for a dip. The chief event on the links was the Labor Day blind handicap, which was won by Mr. James Duane Pell, junior, who received the handsome silver flask offered as a.
