Newport's Fullness and Livelinesse- Money Not King in the May- flower Society. _ The Bostin Element---What a Boston Girl Here Wants to Do for the 01d South Church. The Fort Band &Serenades Mrs. Gen. Schofield. - A New Fashion for Driving and Bath- ing---A Sea-Nymph and Giant. Special correspondence of The Tribune. NewrorT, June 28.—Never before at this date has Newport been so full and so gay. Itisn’t fopether the sudden and protracted heat of the month, for the houses were, many of them, taken weeks ago. The reason is to be sought ir. the constantly increasing popularity of the island city. And yet popularity is hardly the word, for the people who find their war here year after year arc not of the dlasses who flock after the scnsational exactly. Newport can never be called “a popular resort.” It is too finely toned, and lacks all the attributes, the advantages end disadvantages, of . places where_ tlic masses like to throng. You can’t have a place and position here merely on the strength of money, though money is_a very convenient 1hing to have in tafs City of Distances where no horsc-cars are allowed 1o descerate the. sacred stilluess aud seclusion of these Brahminic sirects. But mere money without other ad- wntages will not open many Goors. The pos- or can have the pleasure of the avenue sin gorgeous equipages which may out- ne all others. e, or she, can buy or rent a or engage TE OF ROOMS AT THE OCEAN TOTSE, the limit _and state of which shall be in the upward séale of magnificence, but all thi: will not secure _an- invitation to Mrs. Pris Maytlower’s modest dinner-table, at which the Eniperor of Brazil and all the royal personagcs of this_country and any other are pluscd’ to sit. While the gorgeous magnificoes ?um for this entree, they see their neighbors in the shabby cottage, or the boarding-house opposite, Detake their way to the charmed precinets, foot- ngers at that, and, by-and-by, if_their am- on girds and mbles too much at this speetacle, they pack up their gorreousness and dicappest, wiser bu not appler people. J dun't mean to say, however, that the May- lwers of Newport are such wonderful sainis 1 socicty that- they go about secking modest vorth aud violets that’ blush unscen ordinarily. no; the millennium baso't come yet, even to Bishop Berkley’s -4 Paradise.” But what I do mesn to say isthat mere money without Drains or background of association doesn’t carry everything before it here, and tnat TIE WELCOME GUEST is quite as often the occupant of the shabby cot- ¢ as of avilla, when the fack isknown that ottage Is brain cousin to Darwin and Agas- . or is somebody in some other direction of distinction. “And that comesof the Boston element,” was the remark the other day, for it is the truth that Boston is largely represented here. And if it is true, also, that the Boston clement tends to niake an aristocracy of brains over money, it is 2 gooFoutlook in _these days, when the pursnit of money has got*to be sucha discase that any cure inust be 2 wholesome one. Speaking of Boston brings up 2 Boston topic which somc of the Boston people have brought with them to_discoss amidst the cool breczes here—the 01d South Chutch. The discussion, however, doesnot cool off with the breezes, I am happy to say, and a young iady who reads ihe Bosion papers reglarly, and” thus keeps herself at - THE WINTE JEAT OF THE CONTEST, declares that she means to get up a fair inNew- port to 2dd to the fund. Some one—a masculine adinirer—sugeested that a rowing mateh would pay better and be infinitely more. unique,—the Young lady being a very greceful and skillful loatwoman, to be put. forward as cham- jon rower, the prizes, of course, to o for the {1 South fund. Buf the young lady herself doesu't favor tkis project.” She sticks to the orthodox femininity of a fair. - Whether she will carry out the ideain time for the 17th of July, the day appointed when the specified sum Fhall e paid down or the old relic destroyed, is one of the gonundrums which a very short space se will find answered. In the meantime, hier elders discuss the matter with no less zest and carnestness, and there seems sometimes hat there is a great gain after all fn this agita- tion, when we discover such a deep vein of sen- timentand patriotism, which gm\m’b}y would never nave come to the surface but for this pro- jected'“ vandalism.” It scems funny but good 1o roc the old church posted all over the front +with the printed cloguence of PHILLIPS, AXD EVAETS, AND MURRAT, and by the daily accounts of the fund’s progres- gion it looks as though the 17th wouldn't have 1o stand as a day of desecration and disgrace. The Old South Society must enjoy their new church in the midst of all this agitation! But, 10 come back to Newport proper, and the seenes and doings therein, let me speak of the Forenade to Mrs. Gen. Schoficld, given by the departing officer, Gen. Vodees, of Fort Adams. Gen. Schofield is the newly-appointed command- aut;and, 2s Mrs. Schoficld arrives in snticipation of hor husband, the gallant Vodzes pays her the sretty compliment of a serenade by the Fort md. The Jody 38 at present stopping at the Aquidn: House, and at about half-pest 8 mizht before last Pelham street presented a vel Tively appearance, what with the artillery band, 2nd thepiazzas and balcouies of the hotel filled with ux:;uisitu]y—drcsscd ladics. All the high-up + U. S. A.'S AND'U. 5. NS WERE OUT IN ¥ULL . FORCE; as a little urchin on the sidewalk remarked, “a yile of swells” But it was.a protty sight, and the sweet sounds which oge of the finest bands in the military service discoursed for upwards of an hour and a half made a real strect festival 1ike those of Continental cities. ‘The avenuc is _all alive with fine turnouts and fine toilettes, with now and then 2 fine woman in the toilette. - But the toilette is so very fine that the woman herself is generally extingzuish- ¢d, #nd must be exceptionully charming to be noticeable. There is one new * kink *? which de- Berves tupyinE cverywhere. As it is only the fow streets like the avenue that sre sprinkled, tho cust in any drive outside of this limit is something fearful, and the toilettes come to ~ery mortal grief ut once. What canbe done? Two or three ladics, cither out of their own wisdum or with borrowed wit, have come out in the prettiest of white and_cream linen dusters, made prettier still with lace and embroidery. s of your eoarse, ordinary suit-linens, but a delicate shirting-linen, some in the dead white and others in a cream color, which letter are said 10 be A NEW AND DIRECT IMPORTATION TROM PATIS. No dress can be prettier than these as secn in a carriage, and then the comfort of being speck- 1ess of dust beneath when the garment is_re- moved. Andof garments somebody has had the Centennial audacity and hardihood to come out in a red-white-snd-blue bathing costume. When the wearer is disporting in old Neptune’s arms, the effect is like an animated barber’s pole. and—well, nobody wants to enjoy this “kiok. The pretticst bathing-costume’ was an ceru and blue,—the ecru very light in color 2nd of a stifish woolen fabric, and the trimmin ‘of blue also light in tint and put on in hroag bands. There was an absurd little pocket in the train of this costume; what for, no mortal jinows, not even that mysteriously-wise crea- ture a dressmaker, 'l be bound to say. The Leach, which a week ago presented rather a de- serted appearance, now makesa goodly display of humay creatures, . FEARFULLY*AND WONDERFULLY MADE! - Creatures who in the &fternoon clothed with the purple and fine linen of the day, the black broadeluth, or whatever, and the creams and the grays and violets, in silks, and laces, and fringes, vou would never recognize forthesame. Now and then, however, onc sees a figure that no dripping drapery can quite spoil. One morn- ing I saw two of these exceptional fizures. When they emerged from their bathing Lonses in very natty suits of mavy blue trimmed with white, she with a golden tiéece of hair flowing in ceat curling masses far below her waist; he, as ike her as a twin brother, and efidcnfl&,flfl 101 Dbearing that close relation, yet of the fratern dri boud,—when they thus s ed, spick snd span, in dry robes which P tted.

I am not at all sure, after all, but they were orig- inally of the old classic pattern, and as such of the kingdom of the sea.

REDUCING .SERVANTS' WAGES. To the Editor of The Tribune. » Cr1cAGO, July 1L—I am servant-girl, and even so always try and get a few minutes Sun- days to read a little of your valuable paper, and see from time to time a few remarks from . dies Will you please allow a servant to statea few facts? Some ladies are very anxious to practice cconomy these hard times, and the first step they take towards it is to reduce the servants’ wages, say 50 cents per week. Now, 1 suppose in your cyes that is very little, but taken from our small income it is in our c‘ycs a great deal, Well, if they get her to work for That much less (we will drop they), she tells the yest of her lady friends the great change that has taken place in her housekceping department inhopes that her friends way do the same. But what does this 50 cents amount to, cowm- pared with the extravagance she- uses in othér ways, For example, 8 gentleman in whose em- ploy I was some time ugo at dinner remarked to his wife, ¢ We must cconomize.” *«How, dearic? It seems to me we are living very sparingly’” (which indeed they wcrf} “Wyvell, in dress, for, in- stance.” “Now, dearie, that is impossible, for neither you nor I can go_without dn:ssixxfi clegantly, but then we may get Mary to worl for $3.50 per week, and’L ihink she ought_to “when times are so hard.” But Marysaid: “No, ifyondonot think I carn $4 hard enough, working from a quarterto 6 in- the morning +ill § at night, and when any extra company is expected liave to work very” often till 11 and 12, and no extra pay, Is! have to look for another place.” That same lady paid $100 the next day fora silk party-dress.. She bad two beautifal ones Thome, but one she wore to. a wedding, and it Swas described in the papers, and if- she wore it again every one would know it was the same one. The other she wore twice butorc&r:md she gets tired of wearing the same dress too often. The lady that put the picee in last Sun- day’s TRIBUNE ought, I think, to be prosecut- ed for cruclty to unimuls. Three dollars per week, and no day out, she says. Just think of L1 o boast of keeping a human being work- ing from one end of the weck to the other,with- out giving her an afternoon out to breathe the pure air, nndign ying her §3 a week! What would 1 man think f’xe had to do that? What would Dbecome of a horse worked all week, and Sun- day, too? I say he would die. What dua’uu hidk of this very humane woman? Verylikely she is at the head of some charitable institu- tion (It is so nice to see her name in the paper sometimes, you sec), and it costs so much every time they have a meeting for hor to buy-bows, gloves, ete., ( for Mrs, F.—— dresses so nicely, nd she must dress as well as Mrs. F.— She Dias to pay her g]m small wages these hard times, and she can tell her husband what a saving lit- tle wife he has, how she makes* the girl work, and what small wages she gives ber. It really is amusing to bear some ladics, when they gct together, talk of their servants, cach one giving Tier experience, and the impudence her servant gives her; but they never tell how they wound Boor girls feclings, but then onc Indy fold me that she did not believe people who had to do Tousework had feelings, or were ever tired as others. May the Lord soften the hearts of those twolast tyrants I have just named, is the prayer of one who hzs to do, or does, HOUSEWORK. SERVANTS. 7o the Editor of The Tridbute. Cricaco, July 1.—A writer in last Sunday’s TrisusE invites the Jadies of Chicago to co- operate ‘with her in fixing a standard of wages for hired girls. She seems to overlool the fact that it is from the by-streets and -tencment Touses of the day-laborers that we get the ma- Jority of our hired girls, and that they, in many instances, contribute part of their wages to help support their aged parents or younger brothers and sisters.

This was her reply: “What_will . you do if the other children take sick? No girl will come to you now.” “1 know “that,” said I, ““but you imust think of your mother,who is dependent on you.” *‘T do think of her,” said she, ‘‘aud I know that she would not like me to leave you in this pinch. N will not go, unless { am taken sick; it will be time enough then.” choked my utterance. She staid, and Idomnot know what I would have done without her, for itis onlf ten days since we got rid of that dreadful sickness. And now, ladies, would you put o value on this girl’s services in dollars and cents? No! Such fidelity is bieyond all price. Lndics of Chicago, try my plan towards your girls.
